Tag - I'm it!

So, I have been tagged by Tyanne to write six random things about myself. I have spent a couple of days trying to think of random things about myself and trying to find the time to actually post them. It's not an easy task when there is little quiet time in which to reflect. It's also not easy when little fingers try to snag my mouse while I type as they are doing now. I 'm not sure how random or interesting these six things are but here goes...

1. I love to read! I read constantly. Books, magazines, cereal boxes, you name it. It bugs Gene that I can read and block out other things such as the TV and screaming kids. Some of my favorite authors are Patricia Cornwell (forensic science), Danielle Steele (romance), and Beverly Lewis (Christian). What a combo! Books can take you places you would never be able to go otherwise. Gee I sound like a teacher or something!

2. Gene and I are huge Harry Potter fans. I know that sort of goes back to the book thing. Oh well! We have both read all seven books and seen all five movies. When book seven, the last of the series, came out - Gene went to Wal-Mart at midnight to buy two copies. Yes, two! We both had to have our own copies because neither of us would let the other read it first! When movie five came out, we took my parents to the 10 pm show opening night. Now - we anxiously await movie six in a couple of months!

3. I only eat one green food and that is green beans. I have slowly begun to enjoy vegetables as I have gotten older along with a few other foods I used to dispise. However, green stuff is still not on the menu!

4. I am easily grossed out. This is not always easy when your husband is a nurse and likes to tell stories about work. It's not just the really nasty things that give me the he-be-ge-bees. (I am an inventive speller too!) Random, everyday thing do it too. For example, have you ever noticed that when you cook easy-mac in the microwave all of the noodles stand up on end like a pack of straws? That makes me want to gag! I know it sounds ridiculous but I have chills just thinking about it!

5. I love sports but stink at everyone I have ever tried. I played on the school softball team last year. What a hoot! I bat well but cannot catch or throw. The sad thing is I was one of the best on the team! I even stink at sports on the playstation. Trevor beat me at NCAA baseball 23-0!

6. I love to travel. I especially love going places I have never been. Gene and I have set a goal to see all fifty states together before we die. Thankfully my job has allowed us to go a few neat places already! Our most recent was Las Vegas, Nevada. My dream trip is to go on an African safari and photograph the wildlife. I guess I better start saving my pennies!

As you can see, I am a pretty boring person. If you stayed awake long enough to make it to the end of this post, I am tagging Amanda and Sara. If you have already been tagged I apologize! I don't know that many people with blogs!
