tidbits about me

I was "tagged" by Ashley (my sister) to share 6 things about myself. I told her I could just copy her post. Ashley and I really are a lot alike. Its funny because as kids... well, we were kids, we seemed different at the time. Now that we are older and both moms, Ashley has become one of my very best friends. Now onto my little tidbits about me:

1. One of my favorite things.
I love... LOVE a hot shower! Really. I could take a hot (not just warm) shower for hours (if it would stay that way, that is). Sometimes, it's like pulling teeth to make myself get out.

2. Show me a sign.
Growing up and especially in high school I thought I would end up going into deaf education or being an interpreter. Well my path went another way, but I've always loved sign language. I wish I could remember all that I've learned and really put it into use. The way I'm putting it to use now is by teaching Hannah. It really has been wonderful. Hannah knows probably 35-40 signs. She has often been able to tell me what she wants and needs. I believe it has been very fulfilling for Hannah as well. Plus I really believe it has helped her over all language development. (We love Signing Time DVDs!)

3. DIY -- Do it yourself.
I've almost always got some project going on. I love learning new crafty, creative things. There are several classes I want to take to learn more: scrapbooking and cardmaking, quilting, cooking, cake decorating, photography, decorating... I love decorating and designing... just wish I had lots of money to do it with.

4. Mmm, Mmm good.
I love dessert! Mmmm. I'm not a big candy person. I could pass that up any day. But give me dessert, brownies, warm cookies... and I'll gobble those right up! Here's three of my favorites: 1) Warm brownies with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge and pecans (go to Leatherbys and get Amy's... something, I forget, but it's so good) 2) "BTS" Cake or we'll call it Better Than Almost Anything Cake. It's german chocolate cake with carmel seeping through the cake, cool whip as frosting, topped with Score bar or toffee chips. I've eaten almost a whole pan of this within a couple days. 3) Angel food cake topped with hot fugde and raspberries or strawberries. I think I made that one up. Wow, now I'm hungry.

5. Goooooo Coooougars!
Although I'm not a sports guru by any stretch of the imagination, I really do enjoy sports. I'm not very good at them, but I'm definately a fan. Even in high school my friends and I were faithful football, basketball, cross country and track attenders. Hey, someone needs to cheer and we would cheer with the best of them. I especially love BYU basketball and football. I love being there; I love feeling the spirit, excitement, and suspense of it all! Who wouldn't?! Go Cougars!

6. Oh, I don't know!
I have a terrible memory. I'm not good at remembering numbers, how much things costs, accounts, etc. I'm not good at remembering names. As a missionary, after meeting someone, I would always repeat the persons name a couple times... but 8 out of 10 times I'd forget it. I'm terrible at remembering what I read, learn and study. In college I tried so many different systems to try to help me remember what I was studying. I wish I could remember; I try to remember. It would sure make life a lot easier if I did remember.

Whew. I made it to six. Someday I'll have to add more. It's kinda nice to sit down, reflect, and think about what I'm like.

Okay, now, Jana and Sarah, tag you're it!
