Cami tagged me, and though I can quickly see these things getting out of hand, I'll oblige because it made me feel popular to be tagged :)

7 facts:
1) I picked up clogging a few years ago. Used to make fun of my mom for doing it, now I'm hooked. I guess we all turn into our mothers in some ways.

2) I can crochet quite well when I want to. I made Claire's blessing dress (although my friend Kymberly did the beautiful matching bonnet)

3) I spent two years of my childhood in the middle east and was baptized in the Red Sea. I also met George Bush Sr. while we lived there and I have his autograph.

4) I have a terrible sense of direction. If I go in a parking lot on one side and come out another, there's a good chance I'll be lost for a little while. One time Shanna and I were driving home from Tacoma at nighttime, trying to get on I-5, and since the sun was down and we missed the sign, we honestly didn't know until we saw the interstate sign whether we'd hit Canada or Oregon first.

5) One talent I always wished I had was singing. I'm a camp song singer, that's about my talent level. But I sing anyway, just because it feels good to, even when my kids ask me to stop ;)

6) I have gone 30 years never having purchased feminine hygiene products for myself. It's not easy avoiding the monthly inevitable purchase, but what can I say, I'm dedicated. It's just too embarrassing. Although I thought it would be funny to ask a friend who manages our local grocery store where the tampons were EVERY time I went in just to watch him get uncomfortable (since I had absolutely no intention of purchasing them).

7) In over ten years of marriage, Todd can only definitively point out ONE time that I passed gas in front of him - and he only knows because I admitted it. I should have denied it, totally could have passed it off as a shoe scraping. I've spent nine and a half years regretting that moment of honesty.

Allison Oh my word...I started busting up laughing at number 7 because I consider that the most embarrassing thing I could do in front of my husband too! I would die! It has happened but I pretended I was asleep! I am laugh so hard right now. Ron, on the other hand never did that in front of me until we got married and then all politeness and restraint was off and he does not hold back....ever! Thanks for the laugh!

You crack me up! Are you ordering your hygiene products online or does your mom still get them for you?

Online ordering, now there's an idea I hadn't ever thought of! I always make Todd do it for me. Of course he probably stops and talks to everybody we know about it when he's in the store.

I'm a clogger too! Didn't know we had that in common. Thanks for obliging. I knew you would come up with some great things.
