Tag o' Three

3 JOYS
--Doing something fun together with my family, like playing Rock Band last night
--Sending someone a homemade card
--Fresh flowers, I can't get enough of them. I love any color, any variety, tiny bouquets, large ones

3 FEARS
--Gaining more weight (gosh, I looked pretty good 35 pounds ago!)
--Having something scary, bad, or awful happen to my children
--Loss of communication with family or friends

3 GOALS
--Genealogy
--Swim like a fish when my pool gets done and try to swim off some poundage
--Do better at putting away laundry. It drives me nuts when I wash something, then never put it in the dryer, then a couple days later have to rewash it because it's smelly. Forget plastic bags...I could conserve water by not doing this as much.

3 CURRENT OBSESSION/COLLECTIONS
--New Moon. I just started reading it today, and have done nothing else.
--My swimming pool. Sorry for blogging about it so much. I'm beyond anxious to have it completed as it's going to be the answer to life, the universe, and everything to me.
--Z-Tejas. I love that place. Kelly took me there for a date (thanks, Honey!) on Friday night, and it was a fantastic meal. The smoked chicken chili relleno, chorizo stuffed pork tenderloin with green beans and mashed potatoes, the three types of salsa and chips. There was a definite party going on with my tastebuds and I can't wait to go back.

3 SURPRISES ABOUT ME
--I love squishy feather pillows. This is a boring answer, I know, but since most of you don't lounge around with me, I thought you might not know this important tidbit.
--I have to take thyroid medicine for the rest of my life because I had a t-ectomy right after we got married. As if the last response wasn't completely boring enough.
--So now I'll go for something depressing, not seeking pity. My youth is kind of a blur because our family moved about 50 times before going out on my own. I think I'm a better person now because of it. Stable, if anything.

So thanks for tagging me, Jennie. Julie in Austin, I don't dare tag you because when you tagged me last, I never did do it. Sorry! But I'll tag you back, just for the heck of it. Let's see, the others I'm going to tag are Jennifer in Va., Madison, since she's got a new blog, and Michele, to kind of give you something to blog about in your spare time.

Rockband? Lucky! What instrument do you play?

Oh I liked reading your answers. I feel like we have so much in common, Laundry, fear of something happening to our kids, the obsession with your pool, yep we were meant to be friends.

I also like that you love to eat out, and I did learn a few new things too, feather pillows, nice.
i'm very jealous that you are reading new moon for the first time! i loved that whole series. It made me feel like I was 16 again!! And like you, I did nothing else while reading it.

I really enjoyed reading your answers. I'm excited for your pool to be done.

To answer your question, Jennie, I'm a spaz at most video games probably because I don't give them a chance, but I'm a rockin' lead singer on Rock Band! I sound really incredible in the shower too.

Great answers Kelly! I cracked up when I read the line about the laundry. I can so totally relate!

And I'm with you also on the Z-tejas - that place is amazing! I haven't been there in about a year but I remember loving what I got and becoming totally obsessed with going back. Did you try their desert? I got some kind of chocolatey-toffee treat and it was to die for!

That is so much fun, you may need to let me know what to do now that you tagged me.

I love fresh flowers as well. Especially on the bathroom counter. So refreshing. I hear you on the gaining weight, always something I am thinking about it. And lastly, I love New Moon. I can't wait for the first movie to come out!!
Julie said…
I'm right there with you on laundry! I think all the years I worked in retail jaded me on folding clothes!

It was fun learning some new things about you! I didn't know you moved around a lot when you were a child.....another thing we have in common!

Ha! I knew you would love New Moon. Her stuff is addictive - and I'm not a vampire fan either. Loved the Rockband night. We just had a Guitar Hero party with some neighbors and it was a blast. I enjoyed learning more about you - especially that I'm not alone in the forgotten wet laundry department!
