I've been seeing these "tag" things on other people's blogs and thought it would be fun to do one, so here's how it goes. You list 5 little known facts about you (things you hate, things you like, something you've done, etc.) and then at the end you "tag" three other people who will then do the same thing on their blogs. You can include pictures if want!! So here it goes...
1. I am a closet perfectionist when it comes to having a clean house. This may shock those of you who have been to my house because it is far from being perfect. Just know that 99.9% of my day I spend in mental agony because my house doesn't look perfect. :) Along with this is my sense of being overwhelmed which is usally why my house isn't clean. I am not overwhelmed with motherhood, just the task of cleaning my entire house in one day and having it stay clean for more than a couple of hours overwhelms me so instead of attempting this, I just stew over it all day, then about once a week ( or after we visit either my mom or Ryan's mom- their houses are ALWAYS clean) I FREAK out and have a "breakdown" (which Ryan usually gets the brunt of) and I clean really good. Most of the time my efforts are "ruined" shortly after by my adorable 2 year old, but hey at least I tried!!!
2. If I could have 24 hours all to myself (and I mean all 24 hours) doing whatever I want to do, I wouldn't travel to some exotic place or even go shopping. I would clean my house (see #1), read a good book while I take a bubble bath, order Pizza Factory Chicken Alfredo pizza with a breadtwist, and rent a chick flick!! Maybe one day....
3. Most of you know how much I "appreciate" the art of eating. However, I am surprisingly picky. I firmly believe that fruit was NOT meant to be part of any dessert (the only exception I can think of is Cheesecake)! Fruit should NOT be mixed with ice cream (no kidding I go to Bear Lake and I refuse to order a Raspberry shake), cake, or anything else. Fruit is meant to be fruit. REAL desserts are things such as brownie sundaes, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, etc. NOT FRUIT!!!!!! On another note I HATE whipped cream!! Oh and chocolate chip cookie dough IS better than the actual cookies!
4. I have a very strange personal "bubble." I love to hug and kiss my kids and my husband, and an occasional hug with an extended family member is ok, but I am not big on hugging random people or even friends hello, etc. This may make me sound like a "snob" but I am just not a touchy feely sort of person. Don't be offended by this, I just like my "personal space" :)
5. If I could do ANY job in the whole wide world (besides being a mom of course) I would be a bank teller! Not a manager, supervisor, loan officer, or anything else just a simple bank teller. I had that job for about 1 1/2 years and I LOVED it. There is something so satisfying about how accurate you have to be. I loved balancing my cash at the end of the day and finding myself to be completely balanced down to the penny (there were times when that didn't happen)! I loved opening up my drawer and seeing all of the money facing the same direction and I LOVE to count change back to people. Ryan calls me a math nerd! I also love using a ten key calculator. It is so exciting to me!
So that's all you never needed or wanted to know about me. I tag Mom Lloyd, Emily, and Jenni!!

I learned a lot about you!!! I loved reading that! Ok, so here is what I think, I think we should have a girl's night out and go out to eat, a movie (whatever) and stay at hotel overnight and just chat and veg--wouldn't that be fun! Got the idea after reading your blog--dunno why! :)
Hey, I can't believe after all our years of friendship we never talked about the fruit thing! I too hate any fruit in a dessert and hate whipped cream as well (it reminds me of shaving cream!) I hate when I go to a wedding and the cake is ruined with some type of fruit in between the layers!
So, I don't know you at all, I just followed the link to your page from Andrea's and I'm so glad I read number 5 on your list because I was pretty sure on 1-4 that I must have posted this as a contribution to your blog in my sleep or something. It's so me! Seriously. Spot on. Very weird. I think that means you must be cool. Plus you're Andrea's friend--of COURSE you're cool. :)
I totally agree with the fruit thing. Brody thinks that it is crazy I won't eat anything with cooked or processed fruit in it. Just never come to my house okay? It is only clean maybe once a week for about an hour and other than that I just smile at the dirt and clothes and toys because that means I've been playing all day. I guess I should try to be a little cleaner :) have a great day!
That is so cute! I love your concept of dessert and you are right on! I want to give you a hug but I won't evade your space.
Jaim, you are hilarious!!! That was the best 'tag' I've read ~
Also tell your family congrats! Big things comming up :)
I'll be seeing you soon ~ Take care
Jamie ~
