Tag

I recently checked my friend Amy's blog and realized that I've been "tagged". Apparently, there is an epidemic of Blog-Tag going around in which bloggers are sharing a few things about themselves, and then tagging five or so other bloggers to be "it." So, here are some things you may not have known about me:

1. I (like Amy) research everything. I like to feel like the decisions I make are informed, so if I can, I research whatever I'm going to do/buy before the fact. This may drive some people crazy (especially those who are more spontaneous and like to throw caution to the wind - like my sweet husband), but what can I say, it's just who I am!

2. I love to get things on sale. Those who buy things full price may call me cheap but those other bargain hunters out there will call me financially savvy and smart :) I love the thrill of getting a great deal on something because it means that I've saved enough money to buy two things instead of just one!

3. I am addicted to reality TV. I know, I know..too much TV rots your brain..but I just can't help it! I'm addicted to watching others make fools of themselves on live tv. My favorites are the really horrible MTV shows in which people humiliate themselves to win the heart of some loser. Watching their train-wreck of a life both horrifies and amuses me - what are these people thinking? And what would their grandma say?

4. People seem to think I'm a great housekeeper just because the house is clean when I know guests are coming over. Little do they know that this is the only time it's clean... I am a horrible housekeeper and am just not really motivated to change. I do like things picked up, so there is usually not much clutter around, but I HATE to actually clean. I have managed to perfect the art of ignoring the dust on the tables and overlooking the scattering of pet hair on the floor. Oh, I wish we were rich enough to hire a cleaning lady...

5. I have decided to become more green/natural this year and I'm starting by making my own baby food. I decided to try this for a number of reasons: to save money, I can make sure I know what is going into Koen's food and I'm doing my small part to save the environment because there will be less glass/plastic baby food containers out there. It's been really fun and easy so far. Next I'm going to branch out into making my own green cleaning products. I've been told that it's really easy to do, affordable, and that they're very effective! I'll let you know how it goes...

Now, "Tag - You're it!" --
