12 Days of Christmas TAG

OK, I got tagged by my cousin, Sara, so I thought I would give it a shot…

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me....

1 embarrassing moment:
You mean, aside from the whole VT fiasco?

2 best friends:
I can’t choose just two – so I’ll give a shout out to my sisters (Nikki and Angie), Cami, Elizabeth, and Bonnie

3 things you buy regularly:
Diet Coke from Speedy on my way home from school; Diet Dr. Pepper from Speedy on my way home from school; Diet Mountain Dew from Speedy on my way home from school

4 places you want to go (and might actually really go):
Paris, France; London, England; Venice and Rome, Italy; Santorini, Greek Isles (Someday… long after our $1 million debt is paid off)

5 goals for the upcoming year (that you might actually do):
I’m going to say amen to Sara’s work out five days a week; Stop procrastinating school stuff; Fix our back bedroom up (instead of using it as storage); Clean out the garage (so I can accomplish the previous goal and use it as storage instead); Sadly I can’t think of a fifth goal… Guess I’m just that close to perfection

6 things most people don't know about you:
I am very critical of myself and others (I guess you could say I am rather harsh and quite judgmental– Dang it, Mark! You rubbed off on me!); I LOVE rap music, especially Snoop Dogg and Eminem (I’m ghetto at heart… ‘Sup Vegas!); I can’t stand it when people speak improperly, and it infuriates me to see it in print (ie: the “Jacob” chapter in Breaking Dawn – for hell sakes, Stephenie, wouldn’t’ve is NOT a word!); I watch the Friends episodes like they are going out of style, and I am a Desperate Housewives JUNKIE; I used to be quite shy, but I have become very outspoken and even abrupt (not sure which part of that is the new news); I have an entire wardrobe for my doggies (yep, I’m one of those…)

7 things you would never say:
I second the curse word thing – never had one escape my lips… (That’s a damn lie!); No, let’s not go shopping…; No, let’s not go get a coke/go out to dinner…; No, I don’t want… (you fill in the blank); Yes, I do agree, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson are so talented when they sing together! (Seriously, go check out the YouTube video of Little Drummer Boy – good crap!); Oh, I already did that…; I am so sad I’ll be finished with school in just a year and a half – where did the time go?

8 things you love about the Christmas season:
Getting to go visit family; Getting time off school; Decorations; Christmas movies; Christmas albums (Sarah McLachlan’s is GREAT!); Shopping (after Thanksgiving Day sales) and being shopped for; Snow and cold weather (but I hate this after the Christmas season); The fact that church meetings are actually Christ-oriented around this time

9 things you say to your kids:
I got nothing… (And yes, I am aware that my grammar here is very improper...)

10 things you do a lot:
Laundry; Dishes; Blogging and blog stocking; Grocery shopping; House décor shopping; Clothes shopping; Online shopping; Go to IKEA (changed my mind about that place after I realized I am not 60 years old and it is OK if my house is not decorated in country like the rest of Indiana); Play with my dogs; Watch movies

11 things you would rather not live without: Family; Friends; My doggies; SLEEP (at least 8 hrs a night, but that never happens); A king sized bed (specifically, mine); My house; My car (which is large enough to transport our IKEA purchases, unlike our last vehicle); Diet Coke (or some other caffeinated diet drink other than Pepsi); McDonald’s (that’s sick, I know…); A good mall (although I’ve been living without this for two and a half years now); Movies/TV shows

12 people to tag: If your name is on my blog, I tagged you… That means you, Jena and Catherine! Sha, right! And monkeys can fly out of my butt!
