I'm it!...you'd better run, or you're next...

I actually like being tagged because it gives me focus, purpose, and something to do. So here we go.
8 Random Things
The Rules
-We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
-Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
-People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
-At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and they should read your blog.

1. I love to read. I have been reading the same book for over a month. This move has kept me way too busy so I read about a page at a time. The book is nearly 500 pages and it is just taking me forever, but its good so I'll finish it...I've only got about 40 pages left to go...its a book about Vincent Van Gogh.

2. I absolutely love art history but as mentioned in a previous "all about me", I have a horrid memory. I once knew a lot of artists and sculptors but now, no, not much. I feel passion for art and can appreciate a variety of styles, time periods and movements. It makes me feel and think and I love it.

3. I know American Sign Language. I started learning as a teenager and continued into college. I had the opportunity to interpret for a couple of young men in my student ward at BYU and had a temporary job interpreting for a girl going through training at Foley's one summer. (I secretly liked interpreting at church because it meant I got to go to priesthood meeting and sat in the front of the room on the side...it's hard to get that kind of attention when you attend a college full of talented, beautiful, eligible girls...so sue me.)
I still love signing but don't have a lot of opportunity to use it...I would like to interpret professionally someday.

4. I went to an Iridologist once who told me that I was acutely in tune with my body...I believe it...I believe that I have a heightened awareness of feelings, I've got a lot going on in my body and I feel all of it...sometimes it makes me feel like a hypochondriac, but I'm not.

5. There are a lot of places around the world that I really want to see. I love to travel but it takes me several days to feel comfortable in a new place...and I'm afraid of food poisoning.

6. Despite my fear of food poisoning, I love food. I love to eat out...I think it goes back to my "princess" roots of being served. You go in, sit down, they show you a list of choices, you tell them what you want, they bring it to you and then you get to leave and they clean it up. I love Mexican, Italian, a delicious hamburger, chips and dip, Mo's Russian Chicken and potato casserole, but not sweets so much (don't get me wrong, I appreciate a delicious Apple Pie or specialty ice cream but I would choose an appetizer over a dessert at night).

7. I'm sad that I cut my hair even though I know that if it were still long I would still be wanting to cut it.

8. I am good at creating things. I love to play the piano but I am mediocre. I would love to be able to sing or dance really well. I have a good "choir voice" and I am horribly uncoordinated and ungraceful. But, I can sew, paint, embroider, draw, illustrate, and I'm good on the computer. I like to take pictures and I'm getting better, I hope. I would love to go back to school and take classes in photography and gardening. And I'm a really good organizer.

I tag anyone who reads my blog and everyone that I read...that means, if I leave a comment, you are tagged!...now go, prepare to entertain me.
