7 random things



I have been tagged by Sarah P. and Syko.

1. I worry too much. If I could change one thing about myself it would be this.

2. I don't care for change, but my husband thrives on it.

3. My husband and I have owned both of our vehicles longer than we have owned any of our homes.

4. I tend to listen to my friends' advice over my husband's advice. It drives him crazy, and I don't blame him one bit. I wish I could change this, too.

5. I don't mind doing laundry but I hate to vacuum.

6. I have been told more than once that I should lower my house cleaning standards. (I think that is funny. I guess having a clean laundry room floor-even though it is bare concrete-is either obsessive or impressive.)

7. In kindergarten, I decided I wanted to be just like the school secratary when I grew up. In tenth grade I found out I couldn't type worth a hill of beans. Later, I worked for a printing company, sitting at a desk and realized that I nearly had my kindergarten dream job. The day I realized this, I wanted to run out of the building, screaming. A few years after that, I actually had a job typing at the same printing company. Looking back on all of this, I think it is hilarious.

  5. Hate to vacuum? I'd much rather vacuum than clean the bathrooms, that's for sure!

    Your quilt is lovely. Is it done?

  6. I don't mind laundry either. I love to vacuum. I guess I love my vacuum cleaner and it has made my life easier. Now dusting and bathrooms??? I *hate* doing that!

  9. I loved reading the first few, especially knowing that you're in the midst of a move. Makes me understand your situation that much more!

  10. I had nearly the same experience as your #7. I used to think it would be so cool to be a secretary--all the filing and phone calls and officialness. Then I was one. Sorry, not a secretary, an Administrative Assistant. Not quite as glamorous as I thought it would be.

    Those of us who are still at said "printing company," can relate very well to #7 and perform the running and screaming business daily (even if only in our heads).
    We miss you here, also on a daily occurance.

  13. Number 7 made me laugh! I am very impressed by your laundry-room floor! I hope mine will look like yours one day (you will have to come over and help me...)!

  14. I have dreams of having to type a final--I've been outof college for more years then I'll admit and I CAN'T TYPE! (I never wanted a job where I have to wear nylons!)

  15. Oh, I really love the quilt! And, well, I actually prefer vacuuming to laundry. Now, if I had a clothesline, I might like it more.
