Tag you're it!!

This is supposed to be 100 things about me . . . I think I will follow Christy’s example and do only 60. For one thing I am not sure anyone would be interested in even knowing 60 things about me . . . let alone 100!! So here you go . . . another tag!!

1. I am still scared of the dark.
2. I hate scary movies; I will only go to them out of peer pressure.
3. I am easily manipulated
4. I have a strange tracking disorder in my brain where I will find the most expensive item in the store and want that one.
5. I absolutely love movies and TV
6. I love everything on TLC; Baby Story, Bringing Home Baby, Jon and Kate Plus Eight, etc.
7. I love reading, mostly romance and mystery
8. I oil paint
9. I knit
10. I crochet
11. I quilt . . . only with my mom though, I am not brave enough to tackle a quilt on my own.
12. I love putting together parties . . . as long as they are not at my home.
13. I love to garden. I haven’t since moving from Utah. It was so hard to leave all my plants and I am hoping that we will be leaving this condo shortly, so I am not going to plant anything here.
14. My goal is to be the favorite Aunt
15. I love animals. Anything that is considered to be a “pet” I would like. Note to reader: Tarantulas are not pets!!
16. If I lived by myself I would have a house full of animals. I am sure I would be considered the crazy lady on the street . . . if I am not already!!
17. I can’t stand the quiet. I get too jumpy. The tv or radio is always on in my house. Even if I am not watching I like the noise.
18. I have a very sensitive sniffer. Some of my favorite smells: Ryan’s underarms (I know I am so weird), fresh cut grass, the ocean, anything fruity or sweet, baked goods, my Grandma’s roses, smell of baby, my grandparents home, the forest/creeks, the smell of snow before it falls, the way my Grandpa smelled a mixture of Old Spice and Maalox. I love the way California smells!!
19. I am addicted to make up, skin care, and hair products. Something new comes out or someone has found a new item I am jumping to get it and try it!!
20. I am a hoarder with recipes, make-up, skin care, hair products, books, crafts, scrapbooking, digi-scrapbooking, animals, cleaning products, and just about everything else in my house.
21. I love sprinkles!! I will make something just so I can use sprinkles.
22. I love to cook, especially in a nice kitchen.
23. I am trying to learn photography. Thanks Kim for your help!!
24. I love to scuba dive, especially when we see a new sea creature.
25. I love spending time with Ryan. I try to base my interests around him so we can spend more time with each other. Hence, scuba diving, Kings games, Angels baseball, Lakers basketball, and everything else.
26. I love to cuddle and I love things to cuddle with. The best things to cuddle with lately; Lacy the dog, Ryan (especially in the nook and “Heather Hugs”)
27. I know sign language. (I am forgetting it, unfortunately)
28. I am much closer to Ryan’s side of the family than my own.
29. I love going on vacation. Ryan has taken me to a lot of exciting locations!!
30. I love to people watch. So fun to imagine a whole story in your head of the complete strangers around you.
31. I love making things for people. I get more enjoyment out of giving it to them than they enjoy having it. Hence all the desktops I make for people!!
32. I love hugs, but I hate being the one to initiate the hug . . . I am always worried that the person is not a hugger.
33. I love candy or anything sweet!! Hot Tamales are my biggest weakness.
34. It is always an inner struggle to get myself to go to the gym, and then it is a struggle to stop and go home.
35. I need to eat more vegetables. I never know how to prepare them the right way or how to pick them. If anyone can help with that it would be great!!
36. I have always wanted to have kids . . . my career goal in life was to be a stay at home mom!!
37. I hate my freckles!! Hence the addiction to make-up!
38. I love water!! I take really long showers and when I had a tub I would sit in it for hours!
39. I currently have six bird feeders outside my window. I love animals!!
40. In movies I will get more upset about an animal being harmed/killed than a human. I wonder if the reason for this is I am immune to people being killed in film. That or I am strange!
41. I get along more with the men and children than women.
42. I love accents, especially an Irish brogue!! Ireland is the next destination!! Or Scotland! I’m not picky!
43. I worry about my little brother all the time!
44. I try to take care of everyone . . . it’s a problem. I will give too much of myself and it drives Ryan crazy.
45. I can’t stand the feel of wood on my feet, especially patios!! It feels so dry and dirty!
46. I have a hard time with getting my hands dirty. I am always wearing latex gloves when I clean and cook. My hands get so dry and chapped from all the excessive washing.
47. I love trying new foods.
48. I live around a lot of "older" retired people who love to chat. I would love to get more friends my own age near me.
49. I am having a lot of battles right now. Life is too hard sometimes. “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -Plato
50. I have a hard time with cereal, I don’t like breakfast.
51. I am instantly attracted to someone who can make me laugh. I love being around people who are funny.
52. I love having a new outfit.
53. My imagination is too big for my own good. I am constantly getting myself scared.
54. I run for my life when I come up the stairs from the basement. For some reason I think there is something living/dwelling in there that is chasing after me!!
55. I treat my pets like they are my children. I get offended easily when someone shows no interest and/or treats them bad.
56. I hate confrontation! I will hold things in until I am with someone I trust to let out my feelings.
57. I have a hard time trusting people; loyalty is a key factor in earning my trust. If I feel that someone has been disloyal/or hurtful to me or someone I love I will separate myself from them.
58. I could spend all day in bed as long as I had my computer, the animals, a good book, TV, and Ryan with me.
59. I am almost done with this list!! (is that cheating??)
60. I have a hard time making up my mind, I am very indecisive.

Yeah!! I am done!!

Ok, I tag: Annelise, Tawny (welcome to blogger), Monica, Jenny, and anyone else who feels so inclined!!
P.S. Thanks for the tag Christy!!
