TAGGED!! - twice

Ok, so Haley and Sarah tagged me, and they are pretty much the same thing, so I'm going to combine them here. I am supposed to write 6 quirky things about me, and then tag 6 other people. I'm not going to tag others, but if you want to do this, it'd be fun to get to know you more! Ready for my craziness??

1. I am a total clean freak. I'm pretty sure I inherited it from my parents. I will take about 5 hours to clean my apartment b/c I have to make sure that every speck of dust is gone, every thing is in its place, and that my bathroom shines. Then, once I'm done, I don't want to cook b/c I don't want to mess up my kitchen. And then I get really edgy with Elliott b/c he is not such a clean freak and forgets to pick up everything. I'm pretty obsessive about it.

2. I hate it when people chew with their mouth open or smack while they eat. Elliott had to learn really fast how to shut his mouth when he eats! :) haha. It drives me nuts and I will say something like "I hope that food tastes as good as it SOUNDS!" Or, I'll just give them the evil eye. I can't handle it....I'm getting annoyed right now just thinking about it. Eww.

3. I love to throw parties. I love to entertain. It's so fun to have lots of people over and have good food and fun games. My house is the gathering house, and I love it. Recently, I've had a waffle party, Elliott's birthday party, a Young Women party, cooking club, a sewing party, and I fully intend to throw the best Halloween/costume party ever! Oh, and I'm throwing my friend Barbara's baby shower too! In my next life, I'm going to be a party planner.

4. When I'm in charge of something, I usually go all out for it! For instance, I had to teach the Young Women the other week, but instead of just having a lesson about gratitude, I made them each paper purses with 6 cards in them so that they would have thank you cards, and I had them write one during the lesson. It was a TON of work, and luckily some friends wanted to help me. Or, when we go to the beach with friends, I make a huge yummy lunch with snacks and drinks and have everyone eat it. Or, the aforementioned parties, I do a lot of preparation so that everything is perfect. It's a lot of work, but well worth it!

5. I love looking at floor plans. I used to want to be an architect and design sweet homes. I love to go through model homes and pick out elements that I love. I try to remember them so that when I'm rich and famous, I'll build my perfect dream house with every possible cool element. I get really excited about huge closets with organization helps, craft rooms with big work tables (so that I could spread out my fabric or scrapbooking stuff), laundry rooms with lots of counterspace for folding, gi-normous kitchens so I could throw the best party ever, pantry space with can organizers (love those things!), and don't forget gorgeous family rooms with fireplaces. Ok, I could seriously go on and on. Oh, and this goes for offices too...I have big plans for Elliott's optometry business!

6. I love sports cars, and I can't wait until I can afford my Mercedes Benz SL500. Or maybe I'd go for a good ol' Porsche 911 Twin Turbo. Or Cadilac has come out with a super sexy convertible lately. Or how bout those classic Mustangs? I love em all, and I'm pretty sure I also inherited this from my dad.

Ok, so I'm not too crazy, but I tried to think of things you might not know about me. You should do it too!
