I've been Tagged, dang it!

Not only have I been tagged, but I've been tagged twice. I ignored it the first time (sorry Lynne), but I don't think I can ignore it now. Debi lives too close to me. So here it goes...6 random things about me.

1. I LOVE my husband. We very rarely double date or go on vacation with other couples. It's not that I don't enjoy spending time with other people, I would just rather spend time with him. The last few years we have been able to go to fun places like Germany and Amsterdam and a few places in the states. But, some of our funnest dates are ones like grocery shopping or picking up the kids from their various activities. Now that the kids are older, schedules are tight and we squeeze our dates in when we can. I kinda like the guy.

2. I LOVE my pillow. One of the best inventions. Ever since I was a kid and teachers would have you make a list of what you would grab in case of a fire, my pillow was ALWAYS at the top of the list (after family of course). How can one go through a crises, such as a fire, without a good pillow to get some sleep? I normally travel with my pillow. I've learned it CAN fit in a suitcase. You wouldn't believe the looks I get when they check my luggage in security because my pillow is big. I just explain I can't enjoy my vacation unless I have a good nights sleep. Aaron is glad I don't pack all 3 of my pillows.

3. I went through a Backstreet Boy phase about 8 years ago. Yes, I just said the Backstreet Boys. Met other ladies online and we traveled to Vegas, Seattle, and Texas to meet and go to their concerts. I even managed to sneak up front and shake Howies hand at one concert before a security guard pushed me back. Ah..good times. I owned all their videos and knew their voices by heart. Still can tell their voices apart if any of you are curious. The phase ended several years ago, but I still keep in contact with the ladies I met.

4. I am a organizational freak. I love to be organized. I clean things on certain days, my food is categorized, my closet is aligned in like colors and styles, my kids' toys have certain spots. I could go on and on...! I remember weird things as well. My siblings will bring up a story from the past and I could tell you exactly what I was wearing. Someone should have told me that yellow stretch pants with an overgrown green sweater with bright yellow stars was not a good outfit to wear for my drivers test!

5. I am a huge Green Bay Packer fan. When I say huge, I mean huge. I read the Packer websites everyday to find out the latest. My husband gets me the NFL Sunday ticket every year for my Birthday so I can watch my beloved Packers. My home teachers even know not to come during game time. (Yes, I watch on Sundays) I even know what's going on with other teams and what the standings are.

6. I also love my beloved UTES! I have been watching Ute basketball since I was a kid. My dad used to take me to work and I would go through the escape tunnel at the Huntsman Center and watch them practice. His office was always up front, so I would stand at the door and get the basketball players autograph when they passed. I can remember starting lineups from back in the 80's. It's been hard since we moved here because we don't get Ute games televised. Well, I changed that on Saturday. I called the cable company and told them my sad tale and convinced the gal to give me the MTN channel. She felt for my cause and even gave me a discount. I only pay $2 a month to watch my Utes play football and basketball. Kudos to that nice lady!
