Virtual Tag

Good old Hill ‘tagged’ me a while back and I am finally following up! The deal is, you write 7 interesting (hopefully) facts about yourself and at the bottom you can tag other people to do the same… without further adieu, here we goooooooooooo…

1. I LOVE to organize. Although I don’t always have the time to do it (and therefore am not always organized), organizing is a passion of mine. I love to find new ways to straighten and neatly pile my life. It seems that it has always been this way for me – as a kid, my brothers would trap me in their room knowing that if I got bored enough I would eventually just start cleaning and straightening things.

2. Me=Consumer Report Guru. I will not make any major purchase (vacuum, car, gadget, and on and on, etc) without consulting every review that can possibly be found. I will google it, yahoo it, and windows live search it to death before I will feel comfortable buying it.

3. Spontaneity: My Extreme Sport. I absolutely love being spontaneous and doing fun, sometimes wacky, things. Depending on my mood, I may or may not do these frequently, but it is always something my mind is tinkering with.

4. My attachment to mascara. I’m sure a lot of women can agree with me when I say that I think I look completely different with mascara. For this reason, I am somewhat quirky about it. 9 times out of 10, I do not put the mascara on before I leave the house (hello, I promise I’m a safe driver), but it is still absolutely essential – to the extent that if I forget to have a tube in my purse, I will most likely drive (sometimes out of my way) to a store to buy some before reaching my destination.

5. One of my favorite things to do… is drive. But when I say drive, I mean the kind where it’s windows-down-sun-shining-music-bumping-carefree-wind-in-my-hair driving. Ahhhhhhh, sweet release.

6. What is wrong with having a zoo? Matt can tell you that I absolutely love animals (and I think it’s rubbing off on him – hehe). I’m sure he realized this before we were married, but I think it has taken on a deeper meaning as he has seen my reaction to a wide variety of creatures over time. Although as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized the commitment having a lot of animals would entail, I still enjoy toying with the possibility of having one of each :)

7. Ninja Turtles: COWABUNGA! When I was in kindergarten we played Ninja Turtles every day… and every day I remember being SHREDDER. Seriously, I was never April (that was Heather) or even April’s dorky friend – I was always Shredder. I’m sure this only compounded my early feeling that I was meant to be a boy (I had three brothers & no sisters, my parents named me Jordyn… what else is a kid supposed to think?).

So there ya have it – more than you wanted to know! Now my tags (I won’t discriminate): Ellie, Mandy, Britni, Faith, and Kristen (and anyone else who would like to participate...).
