Tagging

I've been tagged by my friend Jessica. I've been tagged before but have never responded, so I guess you could say I'm not very good at this game or have not thought myself interesting enough to give answers worth reading! I don't want to be a poor sport again, so here goes:

Here's the rules for this tag:
1: Each player starts with 8 random habits/facts about themselves.
2: People who are tagged need to write a post on their blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3: At the end of the post you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.

I have a nervous habit: I don't bite my nails, but I click them between my teeth. Keith can't stand the sound it makes (actually the only person I've met whom it doesn't drive crazy is my old college roommate, Becky).

When I was 14, I contracted the e.coli bacteria from a sketchy hamburger I had at Seafair. This was the really BAD kind of bacteria that makes you violently ill. To this day, I say having that illness was worse than childbirth. I lost so much weight, my girls camp counselor approached my mom suspecting I was anorexic! I wish somebody would accuse me of that now.

I won my class spelling bee when I was in 3rd grade, and I've been accused by some of being the "Grammar Nazi." Just ask my sister how many times I corrected her wording/punctuation on her wedding announcement.

I have to have a clean house before I go out of town or on vacation. I've totally turned into my mother on this one. It used to drive me crazy when I was a kid that she would obsess over the house before we could go on vacation. She'd still be vacuuming, and we'd all be packed and waiting in the car. :) But I must say, it's so nice to come home to a clean house.

The first date I went on with Keith when we were teenagers, he wore cowboy boots so he would be taller than me. I thought it was totally hokey. Thank goodness he grew some on his mission, and now we're the exact same height! By the way, he actually prayed to grow when he was on his mission. Guess he must have been a good little missionary if the Lord granted him his wish. (O.K, that was really a fact about HIM not me...hope he doesn't mind).

I had three babies in three years. Hey, that's an accomplishment worth posting!

I'm secretly addicted to facebook and blogging (Maybe that's not such a secret).

I once set off the fire alarm in the building I worked in, because I was making microwave popcorn and burnt it. The whole building had to evacuate and the fire department came (sirens and all). That sounds like an episode of The Office!

I tag: Eleasa, Jenn, Becky, Kathy, Carla, Alicia, Meagan, & Rachel!
