Ten Quirky Things...

So I read Kerri's blog, which I guess means I've been tagged :)
I secretly adore tags because it is fun to learn random things about people... so here goes my random ten things:

1. Even though I have flown my whole life, I am terrified of flying. I force my self to fly as often as I can to see if I can get over it... no luck yet, but I'm not giving up hope!

2. I LOVE the song Devil Went Down to Georgia, by the Charlie Daniel's Band... other than that I think I have pretty good taste.

3. I still have the little bunny that I had in my crib as a baby... I just can't seem to throw her away.

4. I am very superstitious... I can't not throw a pinch of salt over my shoulder if I spill it.

5. I call everyone Charlie the way some people use man or dude.

6. I sleep with my beagle/shepherd mix Monroe snuggled in my arms like a teddy bear.

7. I have a weird shark phobia that apparently only extends to water that is higher than my belly button.

8. My hands have to be busy when I watch t.v. I cross-stitch and crochet tons of stuff for my friends and family.

9. I have huge control issues about my kitchen, I can't be happy unless I do the cooking... this does not extend to the dishes.

10. Every week when I make my grocery list, I write down the projected price for each thing on the list, total it up and then spend my whole trip to the store trying to beat my goal price. (I cash out the difference and put it in our vacation account... we have done many cool things with this money over the years)

Just like Kerri, I tag anyone who reads this and ask that you leave a comment to let me know :)

Tags 4 Ethiopia

I just have to put a plug in for http://customtags4you.blogspot.com This site is run by Renee, a great blogger who is working towards bringing home her third wonderful child from Ethiopia. As I understand it, they are using this site to fund part of the process.
I peeked at the site when it went up and I ordered 4 tags for our bags on this summer's trip to China. Moments later, well days- but it was fast, I had my colorful adorable luggage tags for China... complete with cute Dragons for the boys!
If you need tags or labels for anything, check them out!
