Look how young and how sweet! This was a big end of year for us! Dash, my baby had just graduated pre school and would embark on Kindergarten, Beauty, graduated from the 5th grade and would start her first year in Middle School. Warrior would start High School as a Freshman. What a year! Sweetheart was feeling a bit left out so I made her a hair bouquet and she was happy! Time goes so fast.
I have been tagged by Wonder Woman and Melinda.
I have to list 7 QUIRKS or random things about myself! Lawdy mercy, how can I just narrow it down to SEVEN! I have so many!
1. I don't like to be lightly brushed against or have my arms or body caressed. I hate that gentle touch. It totally bugs! If by chance someone brushes up against me and makes skin contact. I have to rub the feeling off.
2. When I sign my given name I have to put an exclamation point at the end, every time.
3. I do not let my lips wrap around a spoon. My spoon will never be clean.
4. The kitchen has to be CLEAN before I can cook or bake.
5. Unfolded clothes bug me in a store. Sometimes, I will refold shirts in a department store.
6. I can't drink straight from a cup at a restaurant. I need a straw.
7. If someone tells me I won't like a person, or speaks negative about a person I instantly make up my mind that I WILL LIKE that person. I automatically turn a deaf ear when people try to taint my opinion. I like to decide on my own and I like for each person to make or break their reputation by their dealings with me.
I am choosing not to tag anyone. I don't always follow rules. I look at rules as guidelines. NO, never means NO unless you have exhausted all other options. No, can always be over turned.

Cute picture of the kids! I like Sweetheart's dress a lot. It's nice to get to know you more with these 7 things. I'm excited to "meet" a fellow out-of-the-box/rebel person sooo I hope someone tells you NOT to like me so you will :-) Don't worry I don't caress arms and such unless you're my husband or child :-)
Does that mean I can't have a hug when I see you? :)
The dishes thing is so true. I like to cook and bake in a clean kitchen too.
awesome Mother Goose!!!! :)
OH MY GOSH....we are SO MUCH LIKE it ain't even funny!!!!!!
seriously!!!! i am like flipping out here readin about you!!!!! it is like i am sitting her saying "Yep..that's me! oh gosh...that's me, too!!!"
No wonder I ♥ ya!
I especially like #7. You rock!
OK #5 The undfolded clothes....if just totally me. I will stand in the dressing room hanging up clothes that were not even ours to began with. Because I can't stand to see them on the floor. One of the reasons I don't like to shop certain stores that don't have some one montoring that. I can't cook in a dirty kitchen either. I have been known to put off dinner just to get the kitchen cleaned. Love that you don't like to be told who to like.
Picture is soooo cute.
I have to have a clean kitchen before I can cook too! I thought I was weird. Now I'm validated!
I've folded clothes at stores too.
Cute tags.
#7 is definitely not a quirk. I think it is an awesome way to live. If we care not what others judge but make our own, how much better the world will be.
Have a great day!
I love exclamation points and use them often! I think it makes a bolder statement, as you probably do with your name! ;)
I like that you tune a deaf ear and look for the "likable" qualities in someone. That speaks volumes to me!
Cute picture!! I like that you dont prejudge! What a great thing!!
You are so fun! Interesting quirks girl! 3 4 and 6 are me too!
Hi! Saw you on our mutual friend, Merrianne's, blog. I'm totally the same with #6.
I can relate to the needing a clean kitchen before you mess it up. My husband is just like you with the light touch thing, it makes his skin crawl. He needs deep pressure but he can't stand a back rub either. I had to laugh at the last thing about not tagging anyone, you go girl, that's how I felt but I was too chicken to say it. Your kids are so cute. what a sweet pictures.
I am so glad you finally posted & I have missed you!!!
I know now to never brush past you!
Your kids were so little in that picture. They sure have gorwn up & are so Beautiful!
Hey MG....I took my word verification off. Think of it as my gift to you. ;)
cute picture! fun to go back to remember. great tag!
awesome randoms. i totally fold shirts at stores.and have to cook in a clean kitchen. and UGH on caresses. i'm totally the same. i once had an OB nurse rub my lower leg softly while i was in labor. i ended up screaming at her to not touch me.
Cute picture!!
I think we might be a little bit of polar opposites. You've got a little OCD thing going on, and I find order in my chaos. That's Ok, we can still be friends.
Just happened to find your blog and I am in BLOG love. I am so glad I found it. I must tell you - I am SO jealous of your blog awards. Very impressive =0)
I like your number 7. That's such a good thing to do!
And I also find it impossible to cook or bake in a messy kitchen!
ME too! On the signature thing... Only mine is a dot at the end of my name... but in mid air... Like a hanging period.
This tag is the best one out there,cause its such a no brainer!
CUTE pics of the "little" kido's! They grow so dang fast!!!
AND, you crack me up!!! But, I TOO have to have a clean kitchen!!!
I'm with ya on the straw thing. I will be deathly thirsty but if they dont' give me a straw I will wait for it.
I worked as a waitress in for many years...I agree with you 100% on only drinking with a straw! Gross! I also do not wrap my lips on the spoon! It drives my husband crazy when I share a bite of icecream and I leave some. I don't like that feeling at all!! Blaaahhh!
Dito on # 7! It drives me crazy when people try and tell me who and what I will like and not like!
Love your list - the exclamation and name is my fav!!! Fun, fun fun - and SO YOU!!!!
awww....look how sweet those kids were...I can't believe that they grow so fast.
Great answers!! I had to laugh at #5!!
MG....I am so much like you it's scary! LOL...from the clean kitchen, to the straw, to the clothes folding...and so on...I could go on..but for the sake the few readers I have, I may need to quit! Cute tags!
What a great blog you have here! I love that you choose to like someone if the other person tells you that you won't, and I *wish* that I couldn't cook in a messy kitchen, but unfortunately I can, and do. :) Good luck in the giveaway, and thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
Melissa
I usually struggle with reading tags..But I have to say I liked this one..It's real, and everyone can relate to what you have said.
I Especially like #7..I love the challenge of finding good in everyone..
I have many "misfit" friends..I also hate to be told what to do..(except in the gospel) I haven't figured that one out yet...
I'm a fork scraper, can't let it touch my lips. . . .hmmmm. . . .
I had other thoughts, but they're gone now. sorry.
Oh, but I loved the picture tag.
I think it's my bedtime. Please, excuse me.
FUN!!
i always love reading memes about bloggy friends...its a fun way to get to know you better!
oh and i am a BIG fan of an exclamation point!!!
Okay then...you are NOT to like me you got it!?! Not one bit!! She's evil this Wendy girl, stalks people with glee and wild abandon...do NOT like her. THERE!
Love reading more about you! I really admire #7!! You are so awesome woman!! I will keep u posted on the new keiki! Have a wonderful week!
I also love this sweet pics of the kids! They sure do grow fast and are so beautiful and handsome too!
My gosh you have quite the following!!!
We are totally related!! Through marriage that is. My husband's dad and your mom are cousins. I've met you at the Vegas reunion. I was pregnant then too. I've met your mom several times when she's come to Provo to visit with Aunty Dora.
I'll post a little something about the meaning of my kids' names. I thought I did it before but it wasn't very thorough. Names are so important. . . I too was given the perfect name by my mother and I live by it!
MOTHER GOOSE! :)
YOU ARE SO AWESOME...I HAD TO COME BACK & READ YOUR TAG ANSWERS AGAIN!!!!
ROCK ON SISTA! ♥
Sometimes I refold clothes in the dept. store, too.
Glad you're back! I'm finding that some of the blogs I've subscribed to in my bloglines don't always show me the new stuff.
That's exciting about Beauty and the Homecoming court. I hope she does well. ....raising kids is tough......I'm just gonna leave it at that!!
Your kids are so young looking! They grow!
I wanted you to tag me. I like this tag. I love anything that deals with photos.
I will try not to brush up against you. I understand that feeling. m
Great answers! I don't think I know myself that well!! ;-)But I agree with a clean kitchen...It has to be clean before I can cook and mess it all up again!! LOL
Oh wow- comparing this to the side bar pics your kiddos have changed quite a bit! I love looking at older photos, so fun.
I tried to click on your photography blog link and it said it's private... bummer! I LOVE photography and I'm studying it a little bit right now to try to see what I can learn!
