Yet another tag...from Joy!

6 Quirks of interest?

I am incredibly particular about the way my laundry is folded. I worked for the Limited in High School and had to fold everything around a clip board. I think it ruined me for life!

I would like a tattoo! I keep writing this. Maybe I'm trying to overcome all the messages in my head that say this isn't okay. I think I will start designing it tomorrow!

I would like to own a 65' Mustang and it will need to be the vintage purple color! My great-grandmother had one. My dad inherited it and fixed it all up. I got to drive it one summer while I was in college. It represents a free spirit for me since my very 'hip' grandmother purchased a purple sports car when she was 69!

I prefer to stay up late and get up late, but my teaching schedule FORCES me to be an early riser... I just haven't figured out how to go to bed early yet!

I am a PRINCE fan. I'm more into his music from the 80's and 90's before he decided to be a 'symbol' instead of PRINCE. I could listed to VINTAGE PRINCE for hours and hours.

I have tons of 'empty' frames hanging on the walls in my house. I have tons of pictures to fill them, but just can't seem to find the time! I wonder what my mother would say that is communicating about my life! And, since I said that... I believe that there is a message/lesson in everything that happens in life!

Who do I tag? Well, I'll say anyone who isn't a party pooper!

Tagged by Jen....

As I was playing catch up on reading blogs, I read that I was "tagged" by my neice JEN. This means writing 6 interesting things about yourself! So here are some things about me....

1. I really, really would like a tattoo. When I reach my goal weight, I think I will get one. I guess I'm a bit of a closet rebel and since I'm turning 40 on Thanksgiving, I've decided that it is totally okay to be just who I want to be without all the 'rules' that come from society and religion.

2. I have decided that I will contiually grow my hair out until it is long enough to donate to "LOCKS OF LOVE" and then I will cut it again and start again...

3. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE driving fast. I have to remind myself of my precious cargo since my 'angels' commute with me every day.

4. I also truly, truly enjoy math. I know... it must mean I'm crazy!

5. When Breoni and Kyrie are old enough I want to spend a summer and travel to ALL 50 states with them!!!

6. I am very grateful for our beautiful birthmother. Without her, I would have the two best things in my life... Breoni and Kyrie. Thanks Kristi! I love you SO much!

I tag... LINDA, JOY, AMANDA, CHRISTA and NAN!!!!
