Quirks

So I was tagged by Dana, but I am not going to tag anyone else because I would have to tag the same people I tagged last time and that is a little lame.

1. I have to sleep with the closet doors closed. I had a bad experience as a child and ever since I have been afraid of the dark and open closets at night. I can sleep with them open, but I don't sleep very well.

2. I like putting my feet under people when they are sitting next to me and then wiggle my toes. Part of the reason is to get my toes comfortable and the other part is I think it is fun.

3. I have a thing for balding, red-headed men. If you want an explanation, check out my previous post.

4. If I am angry, I like to clean. About the only time when I was growing up that I would clean my room by my own free will (albeit late at night when I should have been sleeping) was when I was mad about something.

5. I hate unloading the dishwasher. I find it very soothing to load it, but I hate taking everything out and putting it away. Really there is no reason for me to feel this way, but I do. When I figure it out. I will let you know.

Red Hair and Baldness

So, I am not very picky about appearances when it comes to guys. I have a thins about teeth that is very weird, but other than that, I don't really care what the guy looks like, except for two things: red hair and baldness.

I have always wanted a red headed little girl with blue eyes. Since I don't have any read hair genes, I have to marry someone who does, so a long time ago, I became attracted to red heads. I have no other explanation than that. As I think back to the boys/men I have been attracted to, there are more red heads in the bunch than any other hair color.

The baldness thing is relatively new. I find men with bald spots incredibly attractive. If they are bald enough to Bic their heads that is all the better. I really don't know why I have this sudden fascination with balding men, but I do. If I see a guy with a shaved head, I take a second look.

So pretty much I if you combine the two traits, I would be in heaven. The unfortunate truth is that there are so few that this profile. Don't get me wrong, I find many other men attractive, but a girl can dream can't she?

While the Cat's Away...

My parents are out of town and it is just my brother (Kenyon) and me at home. It would be fun if I had stuff to do, but I don't. Oh yeah, I am suppose to pull weeds, yip-ee (said in a flat monotone, sarcastic way). I suppose I could try and teach myself to drive Jarom's truck. I know the basics of driving a manual, but I never mastered the concept and I hear that his truck is a little finicky. The problem with that is that it is almost out of gas and I have no way to fill it up.

My Dad wants to have a talk with me tomorrow. I am not excited. I have been trying to take care of the house, but I guess that is not enough. I have to do everything, including get a job or he will throw me out (probably, he gets demanding when Mom isn't here). The thing is, that I get so caught up planning meals, going grocery shopping, having dinner on the table before 6:00, cleaning up, that I really don't feel like looking for a job. I don't enjoy spending most of my days inside, in fact I hate it. The highlight of most of my days is when I go walk to the mailbox and get the mail (it is up the street and around the corner).

I have a list of places that I will give my resume to tomorrow. That is, is I remember to ask Kenyon if I can borrow his vehicle.

♪ Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream ♪

So this morning I had a weird dream that my Dad bought me a 3 bedroom 2 bath house for Christmas in Utah (it was a huge house and really nice). I called Amber, Katie, and Josie to see if they wanted to live in my house with me. Josie had moved to Idaho so she didn't want to move back to Utah. For some reason, Katie and Amber were halfway done with moving to Ogden, but I could tell that they wanted to. So I went about trying to find out where my house was located. I don't even remember where I came up with in my dream, but it was northern Utah. It had a pasture for horses and my brother Kenyon bought me four. They were really pretty. That is where my dream got really weird and complicated, so I don't remember much else, other than the government was chasing Kenyon and me.

My Dog...

Well, last week my Dad was out of town so I was sleeping downstairs with my Mom. My Mom looked over the side of her bed and saw this:

We both decided that Jacey laid an egg and we had to document this occasion.

Family Sadness

I have had this sick uneasy feeling since yesterday. This evening I found out the source of my feeling. My dear sweet sister-in-law miscarried today. There is profound sadness in my heart. My brother and sister have had this sorrow before. I didn't even find out that she was pregnant till today, the day she lost the baby (this is not unusual because of their past experiences). I want to get these feelings out so I don't have to have them alone, but I can't even write. I want to cry for them.

Tell Me About Your Mother...

So, Katie tagged me. Let’s see how well this goes.

Favorite person outside of family: I have more than just one, there is Heather Cowley, Lisa Heinrichs, Jenelle Cowley, Emily Pitts, and my roommates: Amber Shimp, Katie Grandon (I have wanted to say your entire name for about a day), and Josie Plowman

Guilty Pleasure: Staying up till the wee hours of the morning reading, I do it way too often.

Quirks about me: I take forever in the bathroom getting ready. I don't sleep well unless the closet doors are closed.

How would the person who loves you the most describe you in 10 words: Sparkling, kind, generous, caring, beautiful, sensitive, stylish, loving, charitable, stubborn (I asked my mom, so she is a little biased).

Any regrets in life: I have said some things to people that I wish I hadn’t. I was mean and I have regretted it ever since it happened, and I will never have the chance to apologize.

Favorite charity/cause: I once helped with the Jerry Lewis telethon, but that really wasn’t my favorite. I would like to start my own, but I don’t know if that will ever happen. I like the idea of Make A Wish.

Favorite blog recently: Six LDS Writers and a Frog

Worst job I ever had: Calling insurance companies and asking if people were still covered by their company so that my company could do the billing. It was lame and my boss was rude. I will never, never, buy anything from Costume Craze because of the way they run their company. They are Nazis.

Favorite Bible Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6 has always been a goodie.

Got any confessions: Not really, I have a pretty boring life.

If you HAD to spend $1000 on yourself, how would you spend it? Sadly, I would probably put half of it towards my debt, the other half I would spend on books, My library has been feeling neglected lately.

Favorite thing about your house: The dog door, I don’t have to open the door every fifteen minutes for my dog.

Least favorite thing about your house: The upstairs bathroom, I never shower up there even though my room is right next door. The shower floor feels like it is going to cave in and who wants to fall through the floor naked?

One thing you are good at: Reading. I can read a book depending on how interested I am in it and the number of pages, in less than a day.

One thing you could change about your circumstances: I wish with all my heart that I had a job.

Who would you like to meet someday? Thomas S Monson, Obert Skye, and a bunch of other authors.

Who is your real life hero: My mom. How she keeps going with all her set backs is amazing to me.

What is the hardest part about your job? Job, what job? I have a job? When were you going to tell me?

When are you most relaxed? Right before I fall asleep with my dog snoring next to me.

When are you most stressed? When I am all alone and the dogs are barking for no reason, it makes me paranoid.

What can you not live without? Chocolate. My family. Good friends. Books. Laughter.

Why do you blog? It originally started as a journal, but then I started writing in my journal again and so now it is just a recording of random thoughts.

Who are you tagging? Well since most of my friend have been tagged, Shayla, Charlo, Erin, Lisa, Stacey, and Molly. I’m two short, so shoot me.
