Being Tagged... Thanks Bekki


Ok, so I can barely get my other posts going and then Bekki tags me for this... may be short and sweet, but I'm always up for a challenge.


Rules: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 obsessions, and 3 random facts
tag 5 people at the end

Joys

1. Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice cream. It's the perfect blend of desserts!


2. Sleep... I seem to be a little deprived these days.


3. My kids... When they do that one thing right or stand up for that one thing you never thought they would or just as they grow and are able to do more. It's spectacular to see.


4. My husband. I don't give him enough credit, but he is truly amazing as a father and as the absolute best husband ever! Thanks Clint!


Fears


1. Snakes, Lizards, or any other creepy crawlies. Hate them so much. My kids have asked when I plan on dying so they can get one.... Once again, thanks Clint!


2. Offending someone just because I'm trying to be funny or just don't know how to communicate what I want to say.


3. Dying before my kids are raised. I worry about what kind of lasting impact that would have on them.

Goals

1. Being debt free. (Amen Bekki!).


2. Masters Degree. (This of course is on hold for a little while).


3. Getting my house to the point where we can just try and keep it up instead of having massive fix-it-up projects. And to actually finish those projects instead of just doing the major portion and trying to finish it up 4 years later!

Current Obsessions

1. Exercise... I know, weird coming from me, but I'm finally at the point where I'm willing to pay the price to be healthy and weigh less...


2. Garage Sales. Didn't think I would become addicted when I first started, but I think that I did. Glad it's summer and people don't do as many so it's not as hard when I can't go out!


3. Surviving the summer and trying not to kill my kids when they fight so much.


Random Facts

1. We love playing games and being social. This must come from my insecurities as a child.


2. I absolutely hate the heat. I think it stifles my spirit. I was meant to live somewhere cooler, but can't bring myself to move because I love everything about where we are living right now, except that.


3. I am not very good at showing my true feelings for fear of looking vulnerable. I actually feel things very deeply, but worry about showing that to other people.


My tags go out to: Marci, Michelle, Lindsay Hansen, Jeanette, and Sheree.

You are such a great person. We share the hate for heat. I really act so irrational when I am hot. Why are we still here?

bekki said...

Oh Yeah I'm so glad you did this. I learn a lot about you. i think you are an amazing person and I'm so glad I know you.

Marci said...

Ok, but I think that I hate the COLD more than I hate the heat! I just get sick of being cold for 8 months out of the year. Your tag looks fun!

Aimee's Family Journal said...

YAY! That was a great tag. You are awesome Lawanna. So talented. I really can learn from you. I am such a fan of Half Baked. It is soooo good!

Ya ya, I played this tag from Sheree too. Fun, fun. (Zac says he remembers a Melanie from King Henry...if thats the same Melanie your referring to?) Well the weather is sunny and 80 in the summers here so I think I'll stick around, but in November when its been raining for a week, Ill give you a call to come down! Clint must be an awesome husband- He was such a great cousin growing up. Very smiley! Come up our way if you want a break from the heat!!!!

i had to highlight your entire blog to see your answers...but it is so much fun to be able to keep in contact with your family this way. i loved getting to visit with you for the brief moment we were in az. hopefully we can do that more often in the near future when we head back west.

I dont know if you guys are aware of this, but it gets REALLY hot down there. I just thought you might want to know that because you hate the heat. Amen to your debt free and Master's degree goals! Also Amen to Ice cream!
