My
friend Kristina nominated me to participate in a blogging chain letter
of sorts. You know, those annoying things you got in Junior High that
you had to copy and send out to avoid some sort of deathly consequence.
The good news is, this one wont kill you. Just entertain.
Here’s the rules:
1. Post 11 random things about yourself
2. Answer the 11 questions that your nominator asked
3. Create 11 questions for your own nominees
4. Nominate 11 different bloggers with fewer than 200 followers (okay, what’s with the limit on followers? whatever, I’ll comply)
5. Let them know and beg them to participate (or else!)

Just using the word “nominees” makes this sound so official. And it is. If I nominate you, feel lucky, and important!
11 Random Facts about me
1. I am very indecisive yet easily disappointed. I usually don't have a
strong opinion about something until after the decision has been made
and I don't like it. And at that point I realize/discover what I really
wanted. Lame, I know.
2. I love and am slightly addicted to BIG rings. All sorts too. Unique, beautiful, fun, funky, and antique. Love it all.
3.
I could happily stay in my pajamas all day. I love to be comfortable
and that means 'jamies. We're talking a t-shirt and yoga pants not the
flannel button up people!
4. I love getting massaged! My feet, back, hands, head, arms, legs, neck, ear lopes, and yes butt! I love it all!
5. I love baking. Anything and everything. The bad part is now I don't really have anyone who I am comfortable sharing my treats with so I don't eat them all. One reason to miss good 'ol Garden Grove.
6. I get great satisfaction from making people cry...in a good way! For example, if I write a birthday card and the reader becomes emotional from reading it....then I've done my job and it feels SO GOOD! Weird, maybe.
7. I love playing games. If I could have a game night with friends/family every weekend I would be in heaven.
8. I can easily lose myself in a good book.
9. Giving talks or lessons any where really gets me stressed. I get really anxious about it and never feel like I have done an adequate job.
10. I have very strong hands...for a girl!

My answers to Kristina's 11 Questions
1. If there was a fire in your house and you could only grab 3 things (not including children) what would you grab? Our important documents (birth certificates, SSN, etc), our photo albums, and my Kitchen Aid Mixer! :)
2. Which TV show would you pick to live inside for a week? This is a hard question. Psych, I guess. It is hilarious yet suspenseful.
3. If you HAD to perform in a talent show, what would you do for your act? I actually did HAVE to perform in a talent show
and I probably couldn't have picked a better act. A small group of young
women and leaders performed Somewhere over the Rainbow by blowing air
into bottles filled with varying amounts of water. On paper, this should
have worked beautifully. That all those participating would have this
skill (and it is VERY MUCH A SKILL) in the bag. Not so. Even after many
hours of practicing...I could not blow into those stinkin' bottles and
get any audible note to sound. How can such a simple task be so
challenging. Anyways, because of my failure to produce any sort of a
musical note, I resolved to make my weakness a strength. Thus I turned a
musical talent into a comedy routine. I made sure that I dramatically
and enthusically blew into those bottles. Needless to say, we had the
best act of the night. Bottom line: I would do what it took to make
people laugh!
4. What is the last thing you ate? Air popped popcorn! Delish.
5. What is your proudest accomplishment? This is sad. I had to really dig deep. These are so lame, that I have
to put two together to make it sound better. Graduating from BYU and
becoming a runner!
6. What is the best advice you’ve ever been given? Well, it isn't really advice but more a lesson learned from hard experiences. That is to not take for granted the people in your life and the moments you have with them. Love them well every single day.
7. What skill would you like to have someday? Playing the piano.
8. If you had an entire day to yourself (and unlimited $) what would you do? I would probably spend it getting pampered. We're talking hours of massage, a pedicure, a manicure, hair done, facial, etc. The whole nine yards!
9. Who is one of your heroes and why do they inspire you? My sister. She is the most Christ like person that I know. She always does what is right. She is strong, compassionate, faithful, funny, loveable, and willing to give everything for others!
10. What is your favorite time of day, are you a morning or a night person? Night. I love the evenings after bedtime! Obviously...who wouldn't?
11. What type of music is your favorite? song? You can't bet the Oldies! But let's face I like most music. My favorite right now is a song called Carry On by Fun. YouTube it...it's good!
