So, I thought I was getting out of this tag thing, but a lifetime friend (Michelle Sadler) finally caught me! Maybe it is because I am 9 months pregnant, and she is faster than me now! :) Oh, come on! I thought it was funny! I think EVERYTHING is funny, and then I usually end up crying about it, because my hormones are RAGING! Anyways...here's the rules!
RULES:
1.The player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves - try to find 6 you haven't already posted about!
2. At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people and posts their names, and then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and asking them to read.
1- I am a FANATIC about my freshly made bed! It is one of Cole's FAVORITE things to do is to jump on my bed right after I have made it and to mess it up! I don't know what it is! Maybe it is because I was a housekeeper for a time at a hotel, but I think it is because there was a certain someone in college that was always in my room and hygiene wasn't the most important thing in her life, and she didn't smell very
good (Bless her heart...she really is a WONDERFUL person whom I love)- but she was always lying on my bed and ruffling it all up and stuff, and it really bothered me, and it has carried on to today! Weird, I know!
2- I just woke up from a 2 1/2 hour nap! Bless Lincoln for being able to sleep so long for his naps, otherwise, I would crumple up on the floor and wilt! I don't take naps usually, but when I am pregnant, LOOK OUT WORLD- I love a good nap! Nothing like my friend Jenn-y's 5 hour naps she used to take on Sundays in College, but I can hold my own pretty well.
3- I HATE most vegetables! Cole has to seriously force me to eat them! I just don't know how anyone can like stuff like that! But I am getting better. I can't do like raw broccoli, but I can finally do it cooked with lots of salt and pepper and stuff like that on it! I am weird like that, and my mother LOVES vegetables, so it isn't her fault! But I am afraid that it IS my fault that my son doesn't like them! So I have to get back on the band wagon and start eating my greens...fruit is just SO much yummier- don't you think?
4- Being pregnant is NOT my favorite thing, although I would have to admit that this second pregnancy has been MUCH kinder to me than the first was! I have gained less weight, HALLELUIA, been less sick, and just have had much less aches and pains! So I really haven't minded being pregnant this long! I am just SO anxious to see how this new little baby is going to look! Is he going to look like Lincoln? Is he going to look totally different and surprise us with brown hair and brown eyes? Is he going to be huge like Lincoln or is he going to come out like a good little boy like the majority of the babies? C-sections are hard for me- I am kind of a wuss that way! Hard recovery I guess...but I am really not looking forward to the pain of labor either, so I guess I have to pick my poison! Anyways, the good news of all of this is I LOVE BABIES. So I guess you can do anything for a little cherub in your life right?
5- WOW THIS IS HARD!!! Pregnant brain is getting me, and I can't think of much! I have a fetish with office supplies just like Ann-Marie Wood! (Friend from high school) Cole thinks I am SUPER weird, and makes fun of me all of the time! I don't know what it is...maybe because I was a school teacher, maybe because I was just a stellar student! (Oh wait, that isn't right!) But I get a RUSH going through like the office supply isle at Costco, or the grocery store, or don't even get me STARTED with like an office max or something! I LOVE school stuff! I love a good new pen, and it shows. We have about 400000000000000 pens around our house, and I am actually quite protective of them! I don't know why...I have the same problem with Lincoln's childrens books. I just love to have them all nice and neat, and having a toddler is really testing my patience in this aspect! Cole thinks it is HILARIOUS! Again, weird I know!
6-Okay, I wasn't going to confess this, but I already listen to Christmas music, and have been for quite some time! CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST! It is my favorite holiday for sure! I LOVE the feeling that surrounds Christmas. Not the shopping, and getting all the stuff ready hullabaloo- but the feeling that we are celebrating our Saviors birth! I LOVE to get out all of the Christmas decorations, which we are DOING the day after Thanksgiving thank you very much! I love the smells of christmas, how nice everyone always is (for the most part unless you get them too close to Christmas and they don't have their holiday shopping done!) IT is just a magical time for me, and I am always SO sad when it is over! I start thinking about Christmas on the 2nd of January...pathetic I know! That doesn't mean that I am one of those on the ball gals with their shopping done in July! But I do have to give myself a nice pat on the back...I am DONE with my Christmas shopping for this year! Well, all but one present. I have to be though, because with this baby coming so soon, I don't think that I will be able to get anything done after he comes, and I don't really WANT to! So props to me! Tooty-toot-toot! (Me tooting my own horn-it never gets to happen, so lets take advantage of when it can!) Anyways, a few random things, from a very random person!

Melissa Godfrey (welcome to the blogging world!) Charlyn Ames, Marianne Denney, Michelle Guy- a fabulous new mother!, and Olivia Booth! Also welcome to the blogging world!

I am crying I am laughing so hard at your "who's the boss" comment. I loved this post and I actually just finished doing this SAME thing, but I can't post it until tomorrow because I have a birthday post today. I have already been tagged by a million people. I hate doing those things. Okay, the veggie dillema (how do you spell that?). You are a Miles. You know that butter and salt makes anything go down. I had no idea about that bed thing, but it doesn't surprise me. The nap thing? come on really. Take advantage while you can. I'm serious. I like your office supply fetish. Mine is organization stuff. Like rubbermaids etc. I go bonkers in that aisle at Walmart. And YES. It's weird to already be listening to Christmas music, but you are off the hook this year because you've been shopping for the past month. Way to toot your own horn. You totally deserved it!! hooray! (what'd you get me?)
WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!! You used hullabaloo and I was just talking to my brother David about that being the word of the week. CONGRATULATIONS! You have just used the word of the week in everyday conversation...er, blogversation I guess...and I too do not like veggies, but joseph is a huge fan. Which is rather strange. And seriously, butter and salt Miles, butter and salt. BA HA HA HA... Man, I miss you Miles girls.
Mindy,
You are so cute. I love reading about the things you love. I am a huge pen person too. Good Luck with the last couple of weeks being prego. Thanks for doing the tag thing
Hey Mindy, I can't believe you are having baby number 2! It feels like I just saw you with brand new baby number 1. Time flies and he is so freaking cute. Congrats on the move, it sounds like you are adjusting well to the mile-high city - it's only too bad you have to be in Broncos territory. Ha Ha. Good luck with labor and delivery and whether you go the c-section route or whatever I am sure you will do awesome. (P.S. french fries are technically a vegetable)
Mindy, I just found your blog through Tara's and thought I'd catch up on the Smiths. I totally related to your office supply fetish! I love a brand new notebook and a great ball point pen. I can spend so much money at an office max, especially on cute sticky notes and cute pens or markers! Your boys are so cute! Tiffiny Lipscomb
