I've been tagged!

So Alison over at Haley Monkeys has issued a tag. She actually didn't tag ME, but I accepted the challenge to post about myself. So here you are!

Four things I'm looking forward to this year:
~My family vacation in Lyman, WY
~Finishing my quilt
~Thor going to nursery
~Finishing the to-do list for my house

Four joys in my life:
~Finishing projects and them turning out as good as (if not better than) I expected
~Watching my children play happily together
~The Gospel of Jesus Christ
~Finding a good deal

Four movies I've watched more than once or twice:
~P.S. I Love You
~27 Dresses
~The Holiday
~Music & Lyrics
(Do we see a theme here?)

Three fears:
~Popeye being deployed for more than a year
~Never getting "ahead" enough to build up our food storage or emergency essentials
~Popeye not coming home from work

Four favorite foods:
~Seafood; mainly shellfish
~Pasta; anykind. If it's a noodle, I'll eat it!
~Haagen Dazs strawberry ice cream. Mmmmm.
~A good cheese sandwich with a hot bowl of chowder. I'm just salivating right now thinking of it!

Three goals I've set for myself:

~Be more patient with my kids
~Be more frugal in my spending

Four tv shows I watch:

Four random facts about me:
~I sang back up for Barry Manilow for 2 concerts when I was a Sophomore in high school
~I have to have my milk straight from the fridge, I hate it if it's been sitting out for longer than 30 seconds before a meal.
~I "play" the lotto/PCH just to dream about how I'll spend my winnings (I don't really play, but dream about it)
~When I have a runny nose, I put tissue up my nostrils instead of blowing my nose incessantly

Four embarrassing facts:
~I've passed gas and blamed it on my baby
~When I was a little girl I was needing to use the restroom and couldn't take off my dress. A woman in the stall next to me told me to lift up my dress instead. DUH!
~I've had a baby puke/pee all over me just before going out to dinner and had to walk into Old Navy to by an impromptu shirt. I was a mess!
~When I was in high school I asked my Geometry teacher when her baby was due - she wasn't pregnant.

People I tag:
~Anyone who wants to
~But hopefully Jamie, Sara & Amy will take it on!

I think I know who your Geometry teacher was! Carlson wasn't it? Yeah, I remember thinking the same thing ... her belly did stick out further than her chest ... but luckily, I didn't vocalize the thought. =)

Yeah Cody, I was trying to earn brownie points: first day of class, thought I was all cool to be interested in the teacher... Needless to say the year started out rotten and continued that way. She even sent me to the principal's office for not doing homework during study hour... Oy!

I'll work on it, but these things are hard for me ... sometimes I take it too seriously and overthink my answers. Or, worse, I'll start to censor myself. I loved your random fact about the tissues; I do that too!
