tagged! (updated #6)

malia tagged us to write 6 little-known things about ourselves. unfortunately, i am apparently an open book and can only think of 4 things. maybe james can fill in some more (or maybe i don't want him to......?). here goes:

1. i LOVE auctions!!! i love going to auctions and being there and bidding, even if i don't actually get what i'm bidding on. (that's auction rule #1: know your price limit!) ebay will do in a pinch, but it doesn't compare with being at an actual auction - they're so exciting!

2. i'm a cryer (crier?), and i don't like it. i still read the ensign even though i usually need the tissue box next to me, but i refuse to watch movies that i think will make me cry. the previews to "pursuit of happyness" made me cry, so i will not watch the movie.

3. i love to start projects, but finishing them is another matter. i can think of at least six projects that i have started that still need finishing. i have great ideas and intentions, but once something is started, i will lose interest and put it down for a few days, weeks, or months. i usually finish what i start.... it just takes a while.

4. i am definitely ocd about locking doors and windows. all doors must be locked at all times whether we are home or not. all windows must be locked if they are shut. if i even introduce the thought into my head that a door might be unlocked after i've already gone to bed, i will not sleep until i go and check that door... and all the others.

5. james has just reminded me of another trait: i LOVE being cold! i would so rather be cold than hot. you can always get warmer - getting cooler is another story. poor james will be huddled in the blankets and i'll be sleeping with no covers at all. could i live in hawaii? i survived arkansas, so i think i would acclimate.

6. i remembered the other one i was trying to remember! (it took a while, but it came to me.) i have to sleep facing away from james. if i am facing him, i feel like he's sucking up all my oxygen and i get a little claustrophobic. he's very handsome, and i love looking at him at any other time, just not while i'm trying to breathe and sleep at the same time.

well, i found 6 things after all! i am tagging james to see what he comes up with, and i have really enjoyed reading everyone else's answers. thanks, malia! :)

I had no idea you were ocd about locks. As for being cold, I completely agree!

How funny! Things we didn't know.... As for the cold thing - I'm definately opposite, give me heat!

LOL @ #6!!!
i do the same thing! at first i thought i just liked facing a certain way...until we switched sides on the bed! steve doesn't mind. he does it too. we cuddle for about one minute and then assume the opposing position for some zzzz's! :)
