I was so wonderfully tagged by my friend, Karly, (go check out her blog – she’s great!) in a post a few days ago (ok, 10 days!) I’m glad because she finally gave me something to blog about again. I know. I’ve been horrible at keeping this updated. I promise I’ll try hard!

1. post these rules.
2. post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.

11 RANDOM THINGS
1. I’m supposed to be finishing an Argument paper on Bride Wealth that’s due next week. I haven’t touched it for a month now. I probably won’t touch it until the day it’s due.
2. I love being married. Especially to Dallas. It still feels like we aren’t married “yet”. Just a couple living together. I’m sure that will change in the future, but it’s complete bliss.
3. My parents and sister are right now on a plane to come see me. I’m excited to see them. Not excited to be their tour guide. Yes, I want to see the world, but I want to live IN it and experience it, not go sightseeing. Too many tourists.
4. I just asked Dallas what some random facts about me were. He answered with “You’ve had skin cancer and weird bruises on your legs.” Thanks, Dallas. Thanks.
5. My current “filler” t.v. show (the one that I watch to fill my void while I’m waiting for new episodes of t.v. shows I’m caught up to..)is How I Met Your Mother. The 5th season is kind of sucking in my opinion.
6. I have a love/hate relationship with the company Dallas works for. I love that we make a good income and get to travel the world. I hate that you don’t know that you are moving until MAYBE a month before the fact and have to leave all the friends you just made.
7. I sell Scentsy and LOVE Scentsy. (They’re coming out with Velata soon, which is chocolate fondue that I will ALSO be selling!). I just suck at the selling part because I’m not much of an “in your face” about buying my products type of person. So I mostly sell to myself!! It’s the same with Melaleuca. LOVE it. But hate being a salesman. So if you want some – ask!!!
8. I hate cooking dinner. I didn’t realize how much I hated it until I was married. It’s a miracle if I make something for dinner at all. It’s even more of a miracle if it’s not a crockpot dinner.
9. I LOVE to babysit. Love it. (Probably stems from the fact that I want lots of my own kids!!). If you need a babysitter, seriously call me up. I’ll say yes even if I’m swamped. That’s how much I love it.
10. I get my Associate’s Degree in July. I’m stoked. More for the fact that I can stop going to school for a little while (especially stopping the online classes! Those are brutal!). It may sound lazy, but I’ve been going to school non-stop my whole life. (Seriously- graduated high school early so I could go to college early. I think there was a whole 3 weeks I wasn’t in school between the two. On track, off track – I just want that degree!)
11. I’m extremely frugal. Sometimes maybe even for my own good. Actually, Dallas and I both are this way. We never buy anything. But then when we do, we splurge (like the cruise). So maybe it evens out?
QUESTIONS FOR ME:
1. What is one talent that you have but usually keep to yourself?
There are two. The first is that I’m extremely musically inclined, all thanks to my mother (“You can’t quit piano until you can play all the hymns in the hymnbook!”). I don’t tell people because I’m not a fan of “sharing” this talent with others, i.e. playing in sacrament meeting, at a concert, or any other event where people will hear me. I get too nervous. The other is that I can sew. I always feel like I’m worse than I really am at it, so I don’t like people knowing I can so I won’t mess up any of their sewing projects.
2. What was one of your favorite Halloween costumes you've ever worn?
A clock. I was 5 or 6 and my mom claims I wanted to be that so bad, but I have no memory of it.
3. What's the last dream that you remember having?
Not a good one. I’ve been having lots of nightmares lately. This one involved some unsettled events I’ve been through. I won’t go into details.
4. Have you ever met a celebrity?
Thomas S. Monson. Also, The entire Beckham family (yes, David, Victoria, and all their boys) – but I wouldn’t exactly say I “met” them. We ran into them last time I went to Disneyland and my mom stalked them for a while trying to get a picture.
5. Favorite EXOTIC animal?
Koala Bears. Hands down.
6. Favorite high school memory?
*shudder* High school. I like to suppress my high school memories…
7. What is your dream job?
Anthropologist. Oh to travel the world and live in/study all the different cultures. What a dream come true.
8. Favorite TV show growing up?
Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
9. Do you love mini cadburry eggs as much as I do?
Let’s just say we bought a few (or maybe more…) bags the other day, and Dallas came home from work upset that I had eaten them all.
10. Can you hula hoop?
Sorta. Not really. I haven’t tried in a long time. I wasn’t great then, either.
11. Why do you blog?
It started out because it was the “cool” thing to do. I still do it in the hopes that one day I’ll do something special that will make everyone want to read my blog and become famous through blogging. Long shot though.
