I'm hit!

5 things I don't leave home without:

1. purse/diaper bag
2. hand sanitizer (it's attached to my keys)
3. a list
4. sunglasses
5. a bra

5 cartoons I used to watch when I was younger:

1. Smurfs
2. Muppet Babies
3. Strawberry Shortcake
4. Care Bears
5. Scooby Doo

5 things that terrify me:

1. Any tragic thing happening to my children. (It's a long list.)
2. Plane turbulance
3. Scorpions
4. Home invasion
5. The thought of ever becoming a widow

5 things that I hate/dislike that other people seem to like:

1. Facebook: Yes, I appreciated the reunions I had in the beginning and the venue it was for posting updates when my sis-in-law was in the hospital... But, I just don't understand the pull and I feel like it can be used as a major time-waster.

2. Video/computer games: Just a combination of lack of desire and patience for it. See, I can be found being idle with the best of them, but I just choose to spend it doing something that atleast entertains or teaches me something at the very least (ie good book, HGTV, inspiring blogs...)

3. Harry Potter: Now, listen. I do not actually dislike this series, but I simply haven't gotten into this pop culture phenomenon, though I do hear it's good.

4. Exercising: {sigh} I only do it because it is necessary, not because it is fun. At all.

{Disclaimer: I was stumped for a #5 until I asked my adoring husband for a suggestion --Honey, what do I detest? --he was happy to oblige with this little nugget from my less-than-endearing qualities. Thank you, darling.-->}

5. Road trips. Ughhhh. I despise driving in a car for longer than an hour. Oh, man! I really don't like it. Seriously. I am a first-class baby when it comes to traveling. Nausea, discomfort, complaining, irritability...Does this surprise anyone? Well, not my husband. This is one of his favorite things [he can't stand] about me. Have I spelled this out? Needless to say, this is why we generally only take one road trip a year (sometimes two--if it's been long enough that I forgot how much I hate it).

5 things I want to do before I die:

1. Kiss my kids too much.
2. Keep laughing through life with my hubs.
3. Excel at putting others before myself.
4. Sit in the temple and look around to see all of my family members.
5. And on the skill set of things: Learn to belt! All these years I've only caught onto classical, pop, and middle-gospel (for all you voice students out there!) If only I could get a good forward placement and square-mouth position....My ambition astounds, I know.
