So, I, April, was blog tagged! yup Blog Tagged (I’m it)… The photographer, Jennifer Breton, who photographed our family at the beginning of the summer, loved me enough (either that or she hates me- but I like to think that I am loved as much as I love her) to blog tag me- guess its the new thing… She is an amazing photographer, check out her blog and see, but, if you do set up an appointment- get her card from us, I think you might get something for turning it in- NOT positive though… BUT you should think about setting up an appointment soon if you are thinking about doing it for Christmas gifts
FUN FUN!! Seriously though- We are her biggest fans- at least we try to be, we know there are plenty of other fans out there too… (you can find the link to her blog over on the right side with all of our other “friend” links)
So, I thought it seems fun, so I am playing along…Â My poor friends who I tag at the end- they might hate me, but be sure to know my tagging is out of love
so the rules are as follows:
The rules:
“7 Things About Meâ€
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.
Ok, so I am not a random type of person- yes I might ramble sometimes and yes I do random things, but 7 random thoughts- yeah you’d be bored in a matter of seconds… So you know the email questionnaire’s that most people hate- I LOVE them- well, I don’t ever fill them out and send them back- BUT, I LOVE getting them- I love reading about the other people, the craziness of their thoughts and what their daily lives consist of- LOVE IT!! So I decided to pick 7 questions from them for you and be done with it
1. Where’s your favorite place to be?
Canada is one of my most favorite places on earth… It is so quiet and peaceful I can just feel God around me- I can see him in the nature and his creation… I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT… But, if you asked me on an ordinary day where I would like to be- HOME would be my answer- I LOVE being at home, I love being snowed in I love the feeling that I can’t go anywhere and neither can any one else (that way I am not missing something- cause you know I don’t like to miss things- anything!!!!) I love being able to feel comfortable, I love being where I am surrounded by my things and the things I love the people I love- pictures of those I love… Home is defiantly for me where the heart is
2. Favorite children’s book?
This is a hard one for me, as a child I think it would have to be our Dr. Seuss book with multiple lesser known Dr. Seuss stories, OR our Peter Pan book which had the original story of Peter Pan… but NOW as a parent, my favorite children’s book is- Guess How Much I Love You and/ or Good Night Moon- Logan knows where the mouse is in EVERY page, even if you cover it- he knows its there, he’ll peel your finger off and point it out- we will say “where is the Mouse?” and he says “right there” in a sing song sort of way- its so cute.. I love it!!!
3. Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Receptionist at Engineering Solutions Inc. (well really I was 4 peoples jobs by the end, but that is besides the point)
2. Deli Worker and Waitress at Dutchway Super Market in Gap right off Rt 41
3. Line worker at Pepperidge Farm in Downingtown- ick I came home smelling like garlic bread Eeewww
4. Nanny, for a family in West Chester ( This was by far my most favorites job besides being a mom) and now my most recent job is a full time mommy
plus I work at Calvary Fellowship Church I run the Nursery- I even have a title-CFC Small Wonders Nursery Specialist, how cool am I, I’ve never felt so important
4. If you could have one super power, what would it be?
There are sooo many- how cool would it be to fly- but I’m scared of heights so that wouldn’t work- super human strength- thats fine, but what if they shoot you, not being able to die, well I don’t really want to live forever, I mean I can’t imagine out living all those I love, so I am going to have to go with Super human speed or elasticity- like the mom on the Incredibles- it would be so nice to be able to stand in one place and be able to stop Logan from doing one thing while stopping Grayson in a whole other room… OR super human speed can you imagine how fast I could have this place cleaned- that would be SOO awesome… I am leaning towards the speed one though- since as my family and friends know with the speed on my side, I would finally MAYBE be able to make things on time
5. One thing only close friends and relatives might know about you?
I am sure I told people about this, but its the only thing I could think of- I repeated 1st grade- I was home schooled for Kindergarten and 1st grade then went to West Fallowfield Christian School for 2nd grade but in the middle of the year I wasn’t keeping up with my reading and I had to go back to 1st grade- it STUNK big time, but in the end it was better for me- I didn’t struggle like I would have if they had kept me in 2nd grade and in the end school was pretty easy for me- it was nice… BUT as most of you can tell, I am a spelling flunk out- no one can help me when it comes to spelling- even spell check doesn’t know what I am trying to spell
this explains it all doesn’t it- haha!!!
6. Movies I would watch over and over.
1. 10 things I hate about you
2. You’ve got mail
3. National Lampoons Christmas Vac. - but this I have to watch with my mom- she is the one who makes it the most funny!!!
4. Princess Bride- my sisters and I, quote this all the time, oh and I know this is queer, but we love Clue the movie, a childhood favorite (aren’t we strange?)
5. Miss Congeniality
6. Tommy Boy - who wouldn’t watch this over and over - its the BEST!!!
7. Robinhood Men in Tights - again another funny one- my sisters and I quote this one too-Â we are so weird!
8. The Holiday
9. & 10. My new favorite’s: I AM Legend and 27 Dresses
7. What’s your least favorite household chore?
How weird is this- cleaning out the dishwasher AND/ OR vacuuming- I hate cleaning out the dishwasher- i don’t know why- what is hard about cleaning it out- I load it, but once I run it, I leave it for as long as I can stand, and by the time I clean it out (or Chris does) there are so many dishes to put in that I need to run it again and the process starts over… Vacuuming- luckily we mostly have hard wood floors so I can get away with as little vacuuming as possible, but the upstairs is all carpet and I admit- it hasn’t been vacuumed in a while- PLUS I hate our vacuum cleaner so that makes it worse…
Wow, that was actually longer than I thought it would be- SORRY!!!
So the 7 people I am blog tagging are: Sarah Peeler (friend, at least I hope so after this
), Missy O’Malley (same as Sarah), Jen McLaughlin (same as Sarah), Matt and Annika Chiodi (same as Sarah), Angie Weldon (same as Sarah), Kristen Windle (cousin, so she can’t hate me- but now she can update her blog:) just kidding!!!), and Sarah and Levi Cole (also cousins, they can’t hate me either, but I thought it would be fun for them- they always have creative things on their blog, and they have new friends they can blog tag)… You can find links to all of their blogs to the right- Remember I love you!
