Copy Cat

I have seen lots of great ideas on other blogs. Great ideas for layout, posts, and the like. But, I feel kind of lame copying other people's great ideas. So, I try to come up with a sneaky version of copying them, all the while hoping that no one will notice what I'm doing.

I've decided to give up on trying to fool you all. Here's an idea that I'm flat out copying from my friend Mindy's blog. Sometimes people play 'tag' in the blog world. They tag you with the challenge to answer certain questions on your own blog. My friend received a tag and gently encouraged other people to participate as well. The challenge is to write a few things about yourself.

Here goes:

1. I love driving a mini-van and I still feel cool doing so. Dual sliding doors? What's not ultra cool about that? I mean, seriously. Anyone who is afraid to take the mini-van plunge simply does not know what they're missing.

2. I am a complete sugar addict. After pouring a bowl of frosted mini wheats in the morning, I remove the mini wheats that don't have enough frosting before pouring my milk. And since we're speaking about food, you may as well know that I would choose a rich, decadent, and especially chocolate dessert over a fruit dessert any day. That's right. Bring out the hard core desserts for this girl.

3. When I pick up a magazine, I like to read it through from the back to the front. This makes me feel like I'm tricking the editors by finding all the good stuff first.

4. I have lots of pet peeves. Wasting food. People who brag. When the passenger sitting in front of you on the airplane reclines their seat (into your face). Let's stop there.

5. Although I know it has it's purpose, the wind is my least favorite element. Seriously, I do not like being outside when it's windy. Especially extreme wind. Light breezes are fine. But keep them light. Guess you can tell that I grew up in a valley, huh?

6. Exercise videos used to be my favorite way to get fit. My sister would tease me because I would sit comfortably on the couch and watch them. My excuse was that I needed to see them before I did them. Come to think of it, I'm sure it did look pretty funny to see me sitting on the couch with the remote and watching rather than moving. By the way, have you ever noticed how funny the exercise ladies look when you press fast forward?

7. I love humor that has sarcastic undertones.

OK, now I'm going to 'tag' any of you who read this to make your own list of seven things about yourself to post on your blog.
