I've Been"Tagged"

It looks like it's about time for me to finally do this after a few friends have "tagged" me. Here are the 6 facts or interesting things about me as requested!

1. I have always wanted a 2 story red brick home, with black shutters and a black door. Much like the ones you see back in the Boston/Concord area. In fact, if you've ever seen the movie, "Evan Almighty," the house across the street from theirs is very similar to what my dream home looks like.

2. I love to organize events. Whether its dinners for 40 or a birthday party for my children. I just think it's fun. Needless to say, for me, planning my wedding was the ultimate fun in planning.

3. This one may seem a little odd, but it's me. I love to clean little, intricate places like around the sink faucet and in little grooves in appliances, etc. I know, weird.

4. When my husband is out of town, I check all the locks on the doors at least twice, check behind shower curtains, under my bed, and my closet before I go to bed. Some may call it paranoia. I call it peace of mind.

5. I've started watching a new show- Lipstick Jungle. I know it isn't the most wholesome show. I watched the first night it was on because it comes on right after The Apprentice. The reason why I have continued to watch is because I love to see the clothes and jewelry they all wear. Probably not a good enough reason to keep watching! I figure someday I'll have a reason to "dress up" every day like I used to.

6. A dream I have always had, or maybe I should say a goal I have always had, is to run in the Boston Marathon. You do have to have a qualifying time to be able to run in it or after a certain age, I think it's in your 50's or 60's they'll just let you run. I plan on doing it the first way if I can. I've always told myself that after I was done having my kids and my youngest is sleeping thought the night, I would start getting serious about this one. Yikes! This is getting closer than I may be ready for. It's a huge commitment for at least 6 months and that's if I do it the first marathon I run. My half- marathon in August went pretty well, maybe I'll surprise myself.
