Tag! I'm it!

3 Joys:
1. Gabby, isn't it obvious?
2. Eating the perfect steak
3. Discovering I'm able to be self-sufficient and independent

3 Fears
1. Snakes! One of my first memories is coming face to face with one during a game of hide and seek when I was about 3. I still hear that hiss and see that snake clear as if it happened yesterday. I have total freak outs when I come across them which happens more than one would think.
2. The fears every mother has but are too terrible to ever actually voice.
3. Both of our presidential nominees, though Obama definitely scares me more than McCain. I still can't figure out how either one of them won and have yet to come to terms with the fact that one of them will be president. I'm most afraid of what kind of Supreme Court justices they would nominate.

3 Goals
1. To get back in shape and eventually run a full marathon. The marathon may be a few years down the line, but I'll do it some day
2. To get Gabby back in a good bedtime routine. Her school has agreed to cut off the napping so I'm hopeful bedtime will be easier and earlier from now on.
3. To once again stop biting my nails. I'm almost ready.

3 Current Obsessions
1. Henry VIII, all his wives, and children. I've read so many books about him and his wives and it's all just so fascinating.
2. Diet Dr. Pepper. I am not ready to give it up though I've cut back. It's just the best beverage ever!
3. BYU football and college football in general. I have high hopes for this season and am so ready for it to get started. Now to just find someone to go to games with......

3 Random Surprising Facts
1. I've been pulled over for speeding about 20 times in many different states and never had a ticket. I've gotten 1 written warning and every other time told to go my merry way with a wave and a smile. I only had to use my feminine wiles once in Wyoming, but that cop was mean and threatening to take me to jail. That was the only time I cried too, but that was what was he wanted before letting me go. I guess another fear is a woman cop.
2. I hated country music with a passion until I was 19 and it suddenly made sense to me.
3. I take my sandwiches dry. I don't like mayo or Miracle Whip on them. I really just like cheese and meat. I don't even put lettuce or tomato on them. Pickles I love but only on the side. I put Miracle Whip in my tuna and mayonaise in egg salad, otherwise I go without. I hate jelly, too. I eat pb&j's without the j.
