Okay on to Jessica's Tag- I know I am supposed to post a bunch of directions but I am not in a very obedient mood today so forgive me Jess-

List 6 of your Quirks-

I had to think about these for a few days...it is tough to look inside and see yourself for who you really are...of course Jake helped to refresh my memory...thanks babe lol!

I am very lazy...I hate to admit it as I hate laziness but it is definately something I was born with and I have to fight it everyday. If I find a loose toy of Dallin's on the ground I throw it away instead of returning it to its rightful place. I waste a lot of paper and toss the junk that I am not in the mood to organize.

I take everything out of its packaging especially groceries...I like them to all look uniform. This drives Jake absolutely batty. We will buy a huge package of butter cubes at Sam's Club and I will take them all out of the boxes and stack them in the fridge. I think they look prettier that way...more organized. I also take all the cereals in our pantry out and put them in matching plastic bins...I just like the way it looks better. I think I do it now just to irk Jake though!

I start projects and then never complete them. My mother in law is great at getting things done. I need to work on this. I even write thank you's only to find them weeks later laying in a drawer. I never know what to do at that point....do you still mail them....do you throw them in the trash? Most recently I bought a very cute baby gift (sized 0-3) for a friend and her baby is probably going to be in college before I get around to mailing it to her. Right here on my computer desk is a gift I never mailed to Kami when her nephew died. I am terrible about finishing things I start. Thank goodness for Susan Anthon.

I have borderline narcilepsy. I can't drive more than 30 minutes without the risk of falling asleep. If I sit down or lay down to watch a movie I will fall asleep. If Jake and I drive somewhere together I will fall asleep. I can sleep anytime, anywhere, even after I just get up in the morning....this is a very irritating quirk.

I love checking the mail...I don't know why as I have always loved doing it. I guess I look at it like the letters are mini presents....even the bills. I love stationary and coupons that come in the mail. I absolutely love ordering off of ebay. Jake always knows when I am expecting a package as I start pacing around the house looking for the mail key. I usually spend 30 minutes searching for the stupid key. I get frustrated and tend to shout things like "If people would only put the keys back on the key hook...." and then I find the key...race off to the mailbox, check the mail and I feel much better about life. So stupid but it is very true.

I love hotels...everything about them...the room service and the tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner. That is vacation for me just to go to a hotel.

Well that was lengthy....sorry about that. I tag Kami, Janae and Amanda.

Hey Alli, I loved your answers for your six quirks. I can tell you gave it a lot of thought. I still have pictures of you in my mind walking to the mailbox. Maybe it's because we took so many walks with the boys to the mailbox. I really miss those days. Thanks so much for the clothes. They are adorable. I promise to get good use out of them. Call me and I will explain to you how to put the cute backgrounds on your blog. Luv Ya!!
