Being tagged is kinda FUN!

Tiffany/Ariana tagged me.

How are you feeling right now: Sick of having this congestion/cough, but, basically quite contented with life!

To your left: I am at work so the phone, lockbox, little stone house, pictures on corkboard of kids, grandkids, fiance, almost step-kids.

Last meal included: Toast with butter, SF Vanilla Soy Chai Tea

The weather: Cloudy, gray, BUT bright light is coming up behind it all (cross your fingers it'll be sunshine) right in front of my desk window, ahhhh!

A smell that cheers you up: Coffee, Milo's cologne, clean hair, baked cakes, cookies, pies, pot roast, steak, yummy!

A smell that can ruin your mood: Wet dog smell from our basement, BUT it has to be that way, because our dog, Whitney, is on her last legs and she needs to be inside!

How long since you last shaved: Last night, whew, because I wanted to wear a dress to work today!

The current state of your hair: Curly, up on sides in clip barrett, nice enough for work

The largest item on your desk/workspace (not computer): Printer

Which section you head for first in a bookstore: Religious, Self-help, womens interests, just bought Dr. Laura's "Stop Whining, Start Living"

Something you're craving: Time with my kids/grandkids

Your general thoughts on the presidential race: Ugh. I can't stand any of the candidates. I'm very sad Huccabee (sp) dropped out. I'm independent (so I can vote either way) and I don't think McCain will live long enough to make a good president, too old. Democrats aren't exactly what I like either this year. I agree with what my daughter said, "I think basically we're screwed any way it turns out".

How many times have you been hospitalized this year: Zero, knock on wood, until last week I had a pretty healthy year!

Favorite place to go for a quiet moment: Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Washington State Park, somewhere along the water

You've always secretly thought you'd be a good: Well, I used to want to perform (singing), but now I am satisfied to just offer my voice to God in praise & worship in church on Sundays!

Something that freaks you out a little: Arguing with someone who just wants to be right ALL THE TIME, people who will not LISTEN, judgementalism, huge crowds when I know no one.

Something you've eaten too much of lately: Hmmm, haven't been eating too much of one thing actually.

You have never: Managed to have a successful marriage thus far, but, we (Milo & I) are going to change that track record, it's for the rest of my life this time around!!

You never want to: Leave a "useless" legacy for my kids to have, thanking God for every opportunity to change some of it!

I tag: Everyone that reads and has a blog of their own and you have to leave a comment that links me to your blog!

Valentine's Day Tag Game


Stuff about my fiance, huh?


What is his name? Milo Murrell


How long have we been married? Getting married in 5 months


How long did you date? It will have been 3 years!


Who eats more sweets? It's a tie!


Who said I love you first? Milo did!


Who is taller? Milo by 5 inches


Who can sing better? Me


Who is smarter? Milo's IQ is only 2 points higher than mine and we both scored at Above Superior, I know I am pretty amazed too!


Who does the laundry? I did 100% of the time, but then, I went back to work! So...there are piles of it 'til I get used to working schedule!


Who pays the bills? He does. I give him my check and he does it all! I do not like doing it at all and I get an allowance whenever I need things! For example I told him I needed money for Kelly's birthday present and few things so I needed $50.00! I got $100.00, he is very generous!


Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I sleep in the entertainment room since my snoring wakes Jeena up or I sleep in Milo's bed after he goes to work!


Who mows the lawn? He does. Always.


Who cooks dinner? Milo, most of the time.


What's unique about him? He does not like negativity or gossip. He cares more about his family than he does himself. He is the BEST father I have ever met! He is exciting and fun! He has this funny voice that he does that makes me laugh like a kid! It is hilarious. I can't be grouchy when he starts talking in it. He abhors conflict & "drama". He's the most responsible person I've ever met in my life. He works harder than anyone I know. He is not happy in life if he's not trying his best. He is the best kisser on the planet! He rocks my entire world. He is decent & devoted!


Who drives? If we're in the same car he always drives.


Who is more stubborn? I think we're about the same.


Who kissed who first? It was mutual!


Who asked who out first? He asked me out.


Who proposed? I did. But, as usual, I was tired of WAITING for him to do it when I knew I was really ready this time!


Who has more siblings? I do!


Who wears the pants? Pheeeew, MILO! He lets me believe I have a leg in every now and then but he usually gets things HIS way. At this stage of life I am happy to coast along not making many decisions, I trust his instincts. But the big, important stuff he always talks to me about first! Like when we went to pick out a car etc.
