Whacky SiX!

The Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you (Desi tagged me).

2. Post the rules on your blog (this is what you are now reading).

3. Write 6 random things about yourself (see below).

4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.

5. Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.

6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Ok, so here's my random things:

1: I don't have a favorite color! I'm not a big fan of bright yellow, but in the right context, like everything else, it's absolutely PERFECT! I do tend to lean towards bright red and purples (eggplant in particular) when choosing something nice to wear because I look HIDEOUS in earth tones. But when we are talking about colors in general, I find myself so GRATEFUL that God gave us so many beautiful colors.

2: I really am a deeply spiritual person. Most people might find that hard to believe because I tend to be kind of goofy and loud. But I LOVE a good spiritual conversation (NO DEBATES though, because the spirit can't exist in a place of contention). I enjoy learning and listening (and reading) of all things spiritual. One of my favorite blogs to read is my friend, Valerie's. Such wisdom and insight. Her MIL was my FAVORITE YW leader & I find myself learning from Valerie the same way I did as a young girl from Eloise.

3: I love flannel jammies but HATE flannel sheets. And let me warn those who love both.....don't combine the two! LOL Did you know that you can become your own flannel board character when wearing flannel jammies and going to bed in a flannel sheeted bed! Yes, I learned this the hard way! And I think Darren still gets the giggles when this story is told, because all he can remember is hearing: DARREN! HELP ME! I'M A FLANNEL BOARD GIRL THAT CAN'T TURN OVER!!!!!

4: The first time I turned on a computer was at the ripe old age of 24! (I've come a long way, baby!)

5: If I could develop 2 talents that I don't have they would be to be able to dance and play the piano. For years I have secretly wished for a piano for Christmas.

6: I love taking pictures, but after receiving so much "trash" about taking them, I have stopped taking pictures at all family events. Sad, huh? I shouldn't let them get to me, and I secretly want to take bad pictures of the ones that have been the most ruthless and scrapbook them, but ultimately I don't because I don't want them to hurt as badly as they've hurt me with their comments. So I just don't do it anymore.

And two more, just for fun!

7: This is my number....it follows me EVERYWHERE! But I think it was "destiny"....LOOK.... How many letters does my name have? SEVEN! Ok, now check out the day I was born: 5/22 (or more specifically) 5/22/1969 5+22=27 and 1+9+6+9=25 which breaks down to 2+5=7! Everytime I look at a clock its either 7 something or the numbers equal 7! Lately EVERYTIME I buy something or have anything to do with numbers they are my birthday numbers: 522. CRAZY!!!! I can't say it's my lucky number though! Odd numbers drive me INSANE!

which is why I can't end there! ha ha

8: In my perfect world, this is the perfect number! Look how balanced it is, the same on top, the same on the bottom, divides evenly, enough for everyone....PERFECT I tell ya! PERFECT! LOLOLOL I have this thing with even numbers. When I go to the store, I have to buy things in even numbers, preferably in lots of 4's! (4, 8, 12, 16 etc).

Ok, so there ya have it....CRaZY ol' MeL!!!!!!

And "the crazy one" tags: Valerie, Janeal, Jenna (who just had the cutest little Savannah baby EVER!), Shayla, Kelly, and YOU! If you are reading this and your name isn't listed....consider yourself TAGGED! Fill it out and let me know so I can read your whacky Six!

Have fun! Can't wait to get to know you better
