Rules of the game
1. Rules of the game are posted at the beginning of post.
2. The player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves
3. At the end of the post the players then tags 6 other bloggers, and posts their names.

1.
I am a big time finger-nail biter! I bite right down to the quick, and have upon many occasions really hurt my-self doing it! I do it 100% of the time unconsciously! I have gotten better, while in school, I would practically chew off my fingers during tests! I used to spend countless amounts of time and money, having beautiful artificial nails glued on to my sad excuses for nails, until I realized that I would on occasion chew those off too, and was wasting my money..they are not very compatible with kids either!

2. I have nicknames for everyone and everything! It all started when I was young, my parents had nicknames for us all..several of which I still am called on occasion. My favorite was Marie, for some strange reason, my dad called me Marie, almost my whole life, it's not even a middle name...My mom always called me Whiplash, (and still does) We have no idea where this came from or why it has stuck with me..In turn my kids have many a nickname..When Rachel was a baby we started calling her lovies, and she still answers to it..as she got older, I started calling her love muffin, which turned in to love muff, which has since become muffy. Jackson we started calling JackJack (refer to previous post about this nickname) we still do! Jacksonion institute, Jacksonie-Bologna...Landon is now Lando-commando, Landoni-Bologna, Lands-of-love (my favorite) and my other favorite baby-Q. Danny almost 99% of the time at home I call him Tweety...it started out as tweety bird..and has been just plain old tweety, for about nine years now! My favorite nickname though is for my car...those of you who know me well, already know that my car has a name and we call her BETSY! I am very attached to my Betsy, and everyone knows I love her, even though I don't clean her out very often, and I sometimes have trouble parking her in tight spaces, she has a few bruises and dings on her front bumper..but she is a sexy beast! The first car I ever had I called the blue-light...she was a little K-mart-Esq. The next car was a very cute 2 door Honda Civic, which we called CIVie. Then we bought a Honda Accord, that I loved and called Gordon...which the kids called Gordie...I haven't thought up a name for Dan's Jeep yet, he doesn't love his cars like I do!

3. I was a PAINFULLY SHY kid and teenager! When I was young I would hide behind my mom and dad, whenever I had to be in a room full of people where inevitably I would have to be introduced to people. Even as a teenager, I dreaded starting a new school year, where I would have to go to a class full of people I didn't know and I would have to try and make new friends! I hated meeting new people, and was very set in my own comfort zone! It wasn't until my senior year in high-school, that I came out of my shell, and as Dan likes to say, you can't keep me quiet now! Now I enjoy meeting new people, and talking to everyone, and I would say that I probably have some of the best friends that I have ever had...score some for being an adult, it's awesome! I wouldn't say that I am shy anymore...

4. I absolutely LOVE peanut M&M's, I know that this may sound strange, but I would do allot...for a bag of peanut M&M's, and bribery will get you everywhere with me! I love all things with chocolate and nuts, my second favorite candy would be Hershey's Candy-bars with almonds (yummy)!

5. I Love all things from the 80's with a few exceptions...I love the music..duran duran, U2 (whom I still love) Oingo Boingo, Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Cure, and of course all things heavy metal, I still get down to alittle Welcome to the jungle every now and then, and Motley Crue's Patience, good times..I love the big huge earrings, (as you have seen them on my head) I love the headbands, and big hair, and pink lipstick! My hair would be back in style if we were still in the 80's..I love that everything was peach colored...I don't love the tapered pants (which are kind of in now) or the blue-eyeshadow..that's a little much, but everything else was purely awesome! I love the 80's movies too, and that they all starred Molly Ringwald..whatever happened to her?

6. I babysit my nephews 3 days a week... I think that most of you already know this, but for those of you who don't three days a week I am a crazy lady of 5 kids, running, screaming and destroying everything, they come near, and even on the days, that I want to implode, I still love it...I know that it sounds crazy, but it's so much fun for Jackson, he always has someone to play with, and therefor isn't trying so hard to play with Landon. Their names are Asher (4) almost five, and Ryder who is almost (3)..the beauty is that Asher will be in kindergarten next year, and Jacks will be in pre-school. My sis-in-law works three days a week and needed a babysitter, and I was home and wanted to earn some extra cash...which I spend heavily on clothing...which I love!

Well that's it, now you all know these silly facts about me, and are probably that much smarter for reading! I tag the Talbot's ( I know you are loving me right now) The Parkin's,the Weyert's,and the Emery's (Come on Heather because I know how much you love to blog...) Have fun!
