8 random things

I was tagged by both Cindy and Jessie to list 8 random things about me.  I have done a post like this before...it is so hard for me to think of things to write!  None the less, I gave it my best shot.  My list was pretty boring, so I decided to spice it up with some pictures.

#1.  I think that you can learn a lot about someone by looking in their refrigerator.  Here is mine:

What did you learn?

#2. I purchased and prepared Brussels sprouts for the first time ever today.  I have eaten them before (at restaurants or at other people's homes) but never known how to fix them.  I made this salad.

Pretty darn yummy!The recipe is not on line, but it comes from Everyday Food, the 11/07 issue.

#3. Earlier this fall I backed into the garage door from the inside.  I don't know what I was thinking.  The back door of my van was open as well and I started backing out before the garage door was all the opened. 

It wasn't too noticeable, and the door still worked-- I thought I had gotten off.  Now that the weather is much colder it is acting up. Only opening half way.  I had to come clean.

#4.  I wear this lipstick.

#5.  I hate folding laundry.  It usually piles up until we are so sick of searching through it to find something to wear- that I break down and tackle it. I saved this movie to help me through.

#6: I also think that you can learn a lot about looking inside at the contents of someone's purse.  Here is mine:

Huh, usually there is at least one pair of children's socks and a half-eaten banana or something. Guess you caught me on a good day.

#7. Whenever I get on a health kick (which I will get on as soon as I eat this last chocolate truffle) I go back to this book:

 

New workout clothes help too.  Did you know that is the number one reason that I don't make it to the gym every morning?  Because I don't have anything to wear!  Pretty pathetic I know. Well, no more excuses- the clothes are ready and the alarm set.  Tomorrow is the day!

#8. I love ironing.  Isn't it great to make all the wrinkles disappear.  Don't you wish that you could do that to your face?  When I was little my mom used to let me practice ironing pillowcases.  I usually find something to iron everyday.  I can't remember where I learned it, but I like to iron my pants inside out.

That way, you can get under all of the pockets and stuff.

Okay, well, that wraps up 8 really non-interesting things about me.  Hopefully Melissa, Grace, Erin, Amanda, Tiny Happy, Laura, Morgan and Alisha will have something more exciting to say!!
