I've been tagged!!!

OK, I have been tagged by Erica. I think this is actually fun. You can learn alot about someone by what they choose to share with others.

1. I have a collection of DVD movies that have to stay in alphabetical order. If anyone wants to watch a movie they have to put it back in ABC order. I think my time in the library at UNLV made me this way. When Dad came over to stay with us in Newport, he would watch a DVD that he hasn't seen before and he didn't know about my rule. I showed him that the movies had to stay in order and he did it. I like to know what movies I have at a glance. Sometimes a new release movie comes out and Barry will say, "Do we have that movie yet?" And all I have to do is look over at the letter the movie starts with and say yes or no.

2. I hate, hate, hate, watching sports!!! Barry and Tony watch hours of baseball, football, racing, basketball, etc... I'm always out-voted 2-1 on what we watch together in the family room. Of course I could watch TV in my bedroom, or the kitchen, but the couch is more comfy in the living room. Sometimes Barry gives in to me and we watch other channels that we both agree on. Early in the morning I find Barry and Tony watching billards, darts, bowling, fishing, hunting, any kind of sport you can think of and ESPN is always on. Yuck!!!!

3. I like to do yard work now. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a cheap rake and some garbage bags. Today I raked all the leaves in our yard and I made 12 big piles of leaves. Barry helped me bag them all. I want to plant flowers and plants in the spring. It's different when you have a house, even a rented house. You can buy patio furniture and bird feeders and take care of a yard. I find it fun and good exercise. I get bored staying in the house all weekend. I need projects to do.

4. I love to eat guacamole flavored tortilla chips. I discovered them recently at the store and want to eat them all the time. The best part is that Barry and Tony hate anything with guacamole on it. So, the chips are all mine!!! Yes!!!

5. I like to fall asleep with my light on now that we have a new place to live. I like to feel warm and safe with the light on until I get really sleepy and then I turn it off. Barry doesn't understand why I don't feel safe with him there to protect me. I hear any sounds outside and I jump up and say, "Barry, go check it out. It might be a burgler." He does it to appease me. After awhile I probably won't do that anymore but where we used to live was so quiet and seemed safe in Newport. Now, we are in a bigger city with a train blaring its horn at night, helicopters circling overhead and police cars that race by at night.

6. I think that I am getting fat because I'm pregnant. I ask Barry if I look different and he says "no." Then I say, "yes I am." I can tell that my waist is increasing and I have to wear bigger pants. I think that I am showing now but he disagrees with me. The baby is only the size of a walnut now. I act like I am already five or six months pregnant with aches and pains and heartburn from eating a big meal. He always keeps me laughing and loves to tease me. I can do or say anything to him and not worry about how he will take it. He has been great so far and takes good care of me.

That's it for me. I'm going to tag six people now. I tag Aubrey, April, Ashley, Alanna, Kris and Jamie, and Rhiannon. I will post a note in your blog to let you know that you have been tagged. Mom, you will have to help Nan with hers.

Thanks Erica. It was fun to think of things that Barry knows about me but other people don't know about me. When you are pregnant, you have to have a favorite snack that no one else would dare touch. Mine is the guacamole chips.

I can't believe Barry and Tony even watch darts and billiards! Talk about being obsessed with sports (if you can call darts and billiards sports). I tagged Rhiannon, too. Not fair. And a walnut-sized baby would not cause your pant size to increase a whole size! I think it is the guacamole chips. I love to garden too, but everything I have talked anyone into planting has died EXCEPT for the things the grandkids planted for me!

Jourdan, it means that once you are tagged, you have to write on your blog 6 interesting things about yourself. You can e-mail me and tell me how you are doing in Oregon.
