Tagged Your It

SaraS-P at The Island did a mass tagging to list six non important things/habits/quirks about myself. I usually hate these things, but since I always feel like a mass of quirks and odd habits, I'll take this one on.

The Rules:
1) Link to the person that tagged you.
2) Post the rules on your blog.
3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.
5) Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6) Let the fun begin!

1. I do not like odd numbers. I try to leave my email box at an even number of emails left in the inbox. I always leave the volume on the TV on an even number. I was very happy when my daughter was born on 10/6/2000 instead of on the 5th when my water broke.

2. I love the Muppets and anything Jim Henson related. DH and DD share this obsession. We are the Muppet family.

3. I have my nose and navel pierced, but my ears are only pierced once. When I was a teenager and having your ears pierced several times was all the rage, I was afraid of the pain. After 21 hours of labor with DD with no pain meds, I figured I could handle anything and the additional piercing started. Nothing is making me interested in getting my ears pierced again. Maybe I will when DD does. She would like another hole in her ears any day now.

4. The number four key on my Apple laptop doesn't work. Whenever I need one, I copy and paste it from somewhere else. DD borrowed my computer once when she went to DH's work for the day and she spilled Vitamin Water on my keyboard. It's the only thing broken from this incident. Someday I'll send it in to get fixed, but I can't live without my computer.

5. I'm obsessed with Bridget Jones Diary and Gone with the Wind fan fiction. I look for new ones on the fan fic website every day. When there is a new one or an update to one I'm crazy about, I get a nice cup of tea and curl up on the couch to read blissfully.

6. I love to sing in my car at the top of my lungs. My singing is also really eclectic. Everything from Green Day and Nine Inch Nails to the Carpenters and Bee Gees. I only don't like country music. My DD and I are also known for singing parts from Mozart's the Magic Flute in the car when we are alone. The Queen of the Night songs in particular. We find it very entertaining.

Hmmm who to tag. I'll have to pick Trace at One Hardy Swimmer since I know she reads my blog regularly (she also needs to keep her mind off the two week wait) as well as Loren at Baby Wait (she needs something to think about other than her beta numbers - and please stop by to congratulate her).

By the way, as expected AF showed up yesterday. I need to call the RE's office to schedule my sono-HSG and endometrial biopsy this month. Hopefully, the vacation won't interfere with any of those dates. It might for the biopsy. If so, it'll just have to wait until next month, because I refuse to reschedule vacations around this time of IF work.

Yay! You did the meme!

Seems we all have our little quirks about numbers, colors, and/or letters.

I spilled coffee on my laptop while in grad school. The "[" key was constantly activated after that. My friends would get e-mails looking like "[[[[[[[[[To[[[da[[[[y I sa[[w [[[[[[[[[my [[[[[da[d..." They called it the bracket decoding game. I just have the money or time to get it fixed!

Boo on AF.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
