You Wanted To Know About Me!
So here goes nothing...
1. I am a list maker...unfortunately I tend to lose most of the lists I make. So I usually make the same list 2 or 3 times before things get done. Or I make a grocery list and get to the store, only to realize the list is at home. And yes, I cannot remember for the life of me what was on the list.
2. I am not a morning person at all. I would much rather stay up late working on projects. Because even if I go to bed early, I will still sleep until the absolute last minute. (I even set my alarm for 30 minutes earlier, just so I can hit the snooze 3 more times before getting up...lazy I know)
3. I have the worst circulation in my feet during the winter...they are always freezing. Thank goodness for cute fuzzy slippers to wear around the house. And I always wear socks to bed (even in the summer)...I am not sure why, I just do.
4. I enjoy complete silence when I am working on a project or even when cleaning. For some reason music/tv seems to really distract me.
5. I have never ever achieved an exercise high while working out. For me the high comes when I am finished and realize that I don't have to do this again until tomorrow.
6. I always pick out and eat the folded chips first. Not sure why, but I think they taste better that way:-)
7. I am a container collector...which thrills my husband to pieces. LOL! I always think of something that I could repurpose it into...he sees it as clutter. I mean come on...think of the uses for crystal light containers and for velveeta cheese boxes.
8. I love to eat green bananas plain...they taste gross to me when they are actually ripe and taste like a real banana. But if I am going to use them in a slimfast/green shake, they have to be ripe. For some reason I don't like a green banana taste in with other things.
9. I once sprained or broke one of my fingers lifting a bag of dog food. Weak I tell you. I couldn't bend that finger for an entire year.
10. When my kids were babies, I used the book Baby Wise...wonderful for getting your kids on a schedule fast. I was very particular about it. Actually I was just down right anal about it. But I love my sleep at night and was willing to try anything to get my babies sleeping 12 hours at a time. I loved it and will always recommend it to any new moms.
11. I was braver in college than I am now. I actually got on and pulled the rip cord on a Sky Coaster. You know the thing that 2-3 people get strapped into, then they lift you up super high and then drop you! It was a blast, but I really don't know if I could get on one now.
12. Every toy and supply has its own home in my house. (now that doesn't mean it is always in that home) But it will drive me bonkers if I know that the kids cleaned up the toy room and put Polly Pockets in with Matchbox cars. I used to go in and fix it myself, but now that they are older, I just dump both boxes and make them do it again. Such a mean mom:-)
13. Creative clutter doesn't bother me...obviously if you could only see my scrapbook room now...but coats, backpacks, and whatnot just left around is another story.
14. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who go shopping in their pajama pants. I know I shouldn't care what others are wearing, but come on, your pjs at the grocery store? At least throw on sweats or something.
15. New shoes and accessories make me super happy. There is nothing like the feeling of happy feet on the day you get new shoes.
There you have it...15 useless facts about me, for you to not care about:-)

#7-yep! I make a promise that if we ever find a good use for Velveeta boxes we will share! (Parmesan cheese shakers are fabulous for holding ponytail holders!!! Especially the little bitty rubber bands!)
And I too love happy feet with new shoes!

We are so alike! I just discovered your blog a few days ago and I am loving it! I MUST try the Banana Nutella Quesadillas asap! Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipes! 🙂

Oh I loved getting to know you more!!!! I am a list make too and everytime I go to the grocery store, I mean almost everytime I get to the store and I don't have it so I call my hubby and he says yes you left your list before I even ask, lol.
I really need your organizing skills in my girls bedroom. I have Zander's room down but the girls room is another story. It drives me crazy, if I took a picture of it now and showed it you would for sure pass out, lol!!!
I am so not a morning person either, I would rather sleep till the last minute to and I love staying up late working on my projects.
I so needed that book when Autumn was born, she still does not sleep through the night. AUGHH. I miss my sleep!! I think I need to go and get that book.
Big HUGS

Again, two of a kind I tell you! I am quite anal as to how things are organized, but my creative space is not organized so well... pj's BUG when worn to the store. There was a time when I had to go at 2:30 in the morning for meds for Ash, and I got dressed, that is how bad that bugs me! Love you and all of your random facts!
Amber Zimmerman
Oh yeah, and I broke a pinky toe doing laundry. 😀

Oh my garsh, Jocelyn! We are like, soul sistahs! For realsies. My list could almost be identical to this! Haha. My mouth was open because it is funny how many things are the same about us. I love my sleep too, I set my alarm 30 min. fast too so I can snooze a few times. I used babywise too with all kids and swear by it. I used it initially so my kids would learn to sleep well. 😉 Too too funny! Love these tags. Now to come up with 15 interesting things. . .
Brandi
Thanks for the tag girl. I have to start brainstorming my list. I am with you on the pajama pants annoyance. Worse than that is when the little girls are wearing the sweatpants with the big words across the bottom. I am always thinking to myself, Really?
