I saw this on the Vansell's blog first....then I had to try it out. So I put our faces in ("our" meaning me and Paul), and then put some friends from Indiana (who went to Big Bend with us in October). It was pretty fun. Enjoy!

Tag...I'm "It"
Well, I've been tagged by my good friend at Adventures in Raising a Boy. I've always loved reading other people's blogs when they get tagged because they usually write such interesting facts about themselves. But now that it's my turn to put a list together, I'm not quite sure where to start. I guess the rules would be a good place:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and or weird things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
1. Since middle school, most if not all of my joints "pop" or "crack" (especially my ankles/knees). When I walk up the stairs, it sounds like I have bubble wrap under my shoes and as I step, a bubble pops. It doesn't hurt (sometimes it actually feels better) - I just can't sneak up on anyone very well.
2. I don't like ham or onions (I'm actually pretty picky about a lot of food, but ham and onions are biggies). But I don't mind pork...maybe it's the salt that I don't like about most ham, I don't know. Whatever it is, I'll do anything to avoid ham.
3. I really enjoy "old-time" country music and bluegrass...maybe it's the acoustic instruments and the harmony in the vocals...maybe it's the beat...but the "twang" that most people complain about, I kinda like. And though this sounds contradictory to what I just stated, I love deep voices in male singers (Don Williams, Randy Travis, etc), and I usually prefer altos in female singers (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Anne Murray).
4. I LOVE dark chocolate - the darker the better. All that 60% cacao stuff that Hershey's has come out with recently (and asks a pretty penny for) is my biggest downfall in the candy aisle.
5. One of my favorite stores to "window shop" in (not purchase because it's usually too expensive) is Office Depot or Office Max. All of those new pencils, pens, hole punch reinforcers, erasers that really work (not smear), and binders get me pretty excited. I don't know if it dates back to the first day of school when we got all of our new school supplies, but even now I really like to go in there and dream. Guess that's pretty weird, but I'm okay with it.
6. I think I'm one of the worst judges in whether a new movie in the theaters is going to be good or not. The ones that look good in the previews to me usually are terrible...and the ones that I pass over usually are much better. Paul has helped me learn how to judge a little better, but it's been a long journey.
7. I sometimes memorize random car license plates and make up stories in my head about why I'll need to remember it in the future. (I have an uncanny ability to remember number/letter combos, but the fact that I put it to use for this reason is kinda silly). Like this afternoon, I saw a white car driving super slow past the camp about 3 times, so on the 3rd pass I memorized the license number. I'm not sure if it's paranoia or the secret dream I always had of becoming Nancy Drew in real life. But I can't help myself.
So there you go...my weird/random facts about myself. Now to tag some other blog friends.

I think everyone else in my small blog world has already been tagged in the past (at least I think I remember reading facts about them...maybe I just know weird facts about them though). :) Julie, Jennie - If you want to post a new set of 7 facts, feel free - it's fun to read your lists!
