5 Random Things About Me

I've been tagged by Aunt Karen, so here goes:

1) I still haven't scrapbooked my wedding. I have an album with matching materials, coordinating stickers, and all the pictures ready, but they're just collecting dust.

2) If I'm around dogs that are small (like, the same size as a cat) I have an irresistible urge to kick them. In my mind, they sail beautifully like a football for several yards, then land safely. I love dogs, and I've never given into the temptation, but it crosses my mind EVERY time.

3) When I was younger, I loved candy, just like every kid. I had this fantasy that when I got older and had a job of my own, I'd take the first $100 I made and spend it entirely on candy. When I was 16 and started my first job at Boston Market, I had forgotten all about the candy and spent it on clothes and gas instead.

4) I knew Snape wasn't evil. I knew it all along.

5) 90% of my dreams are based around my fears; either the dream is of something I fear, or it's about overcoming a fear. Two are recurrent. In one of them, I can run down stairs. This is not something I would EVER do in real life. I have always felt very awkward on stairs and even fell down a flight once, so I always take it nice and slow. But in this dream, I'm able to race down them, barely touching each step. In the dream I always think "Woah, I thought I could only do this in dreams, but I can actually do it in real life too!" But I eventually wake up and I'm a little sad. The other one happens within other dreams where I smoke. Yes, you heard it, the good Mormon girl who has ASTHMA smokes in her dreams. And I actually enjoy it in the dream and don't cough or anything. So weird.

Oooh, me likey your new layout! Also, when that great and glorious day comes and I finally get the little pug dog I have always longed for, remind me not to leave him alone with you. Ever.

It never ceases to amaze me how we continue to learn new things about each other! Those are not the reacurring dreams I have heard about...stairs and smoking-I never knew!

Don't worry, I have never put my wedding pictures in a scrapbook either. I did leave space in our scrapbook for whenever I get it done. I feel the same way about dogs as well.

Very random indeed:) What is it with reoccurring dreams? I always wonder if there is some message in them that I'm supposed to learn, but wouldn't know in your case :)

Now I know why you like my little cute dog so much. How do you come up with such interesting things about yourself. I'm not that creative.

Hahaha...Bill and Wes always refer to little dogs as "kick-me" dogs! Perhaps it's a kinky kind of Reid gene! Great random thoughts! I like your new lay out too:-)
