My first tag - I think I have waited all my life for this moment - a big thank you to Janei'a for making this moment possible.... Haha!

TAGGED 6 Facts/Habits about yourself. Tag 6 others at the end and let them know!

#1 I am not a morning person and since I am writing this post at 8:30am from work you can only imagine my current mood.... So, I hope my next five are more positive or at least not too negative. I did not realize how much of a non-morning person I was until I got married. Poor Danny is so sweet and nice in the morning. He likes to have nice conversations and sings me songs as we get ready (and he'd kill me if he knew I was sharing this). Sometimes he tries to get me to sing along but I am such a grump. Then we leave to work and about an hour later my morning mood has worn away and then I wanna sing! =)

#2 I love Ranch dressing but not just any kind - it has to be Hidden Valley Light. Everyone in my family finds this so amusing that I have often been the recipient of dressing bottles for birthdays, wedding showers, etc. I have even taken my own bottle to a restaurant - LaMe!

#3 I once worked for a United Stated Congressman who is now serving 36 months in prison for conspiracy to defraud the United States and falsifying financial disclosure forms. He was Jack Abramoff's bribe taker. Talk about total resume bust.

#4 I use to love diet coke but now I totally loathe it. It's rather sad actually. Something has gone terribly wrong with my taste buds and the once crisp refreshing diet coke now tastes like I am drinking a chemical. I have considered going to the doctors and trying to sort through this madness but I guess I am just waiting for a miracle as nothing has been able to replace my DC. =(

#5 I am an ice cream fanatic and fortunately despite my taste bud issues this sweet treat is still a-OK! Back in the summer of 2004 I think I did not go a single day without eating at least one serving of ice cream. The poor guy I dated that summer finally one day confessed that he thought he was lactose intolerant and all the ice cream outings were making him a little sick - haha, opps!

#6 I love the beach and warm weather. Thankfully I married an island man (did you know Galveston is an island? I didn't!) so hopefully we will one day live in a warmer climate.

I'm tagging Diane, Joanie, Jessie, Peapod, Maria, and Laura. Xoxo.

Dropping Like Flies...

Ok, so this post is dedicated to my darling (more like studly) big brother... I know this seems to be kinda like a trend on my blog. He had emergency surgery to take out his appendix. This is the second time I have visited him in the hospital in the last 2 months. Seriously, my siblings are dropping like flies, but at least they do it with such good looks. =) Love you Brandon ... Get Better! Xoxo.

But don't worry things are looking up - he got green jello!

You Should See the Other Girl...

Ok, so this post is dedicated to my darling little sister. She is my hero. They did a biopsy this past Friday to see if they can figure out what is wrong with her eye. Still no definite diagnosis but we are praying that the doctors will figure it out soon. I am amazed at how tough she has been through all of this and how she has even carried on with a bit of humor. GET BETTER... LOVE YOU! Arrrgh, here is to pirate eyes! Xoxo!
