I guess I have been tagged by Stacy. I don't really understand how this "tag" thing works but I will give it a try.
Six insignificant things about me:
1. I like to mow the lawn. And I don't mean with the riding mower. I like to use the regular gas mower that you push (or at least follow) around the yard. There is something therapeutic for me about pushing the lawn mower around. I don't know if it is the fact that it feels like you are getting some exercise or the feeling of accomplishment as you see the freshly cut grass, but I like it if I have the time to do it.
2. I love animals and I quite often get teased about it. I grew up with animals all around me. We always had pets when I was growing up. At different times we had dogs, we had cats, we raised lambs, we had chipmunks and ground squirrels that we had caught (and occasionally even a mouse or a lizard or snake). We always had horses, sheep and cows. I love the smell of horses. We recently bought two horses (which was a crazy thing to do considering the cost of feeding them) but I love them and I love to hug them and bury my nose in their fur and smell them. They have a very distinct, musky smell.
3. I have learned to love watching basketball, football and volleyball. I like to watch sports live or on TV. It can be professional, college or high school. I haven't always enjoyed sports. It has been something that Jed kind of taught me after we were married. Now I am the one that keeps track of the upcoming games on TV, etc.
4. I get impatient with irresponsible people. I try to be responsible myself, but sometimes I feel like I don't live up to my own standard as life is so busy.
5. I am not picky about very many things but I am picky about the laundry detergent and softener that I use to do my laundry. I insist on buying Tide and Downy. It isn't so much the way they clean and soften as much as the way they smell. I really dislike the smell of most other detergents and softeners.
6. This isn't really insignificant, but I will mention it anyway because it is important. The Gospel and my family are the most important things in my life. I have a very special place in my heart for my family especially my own spouse, my kids & their spouses and grandkids but also including siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, parents, etc., etc., etc. I am hurt if anyone does anything to hurt any of them & I can't stand to have anyone think badly of me or of my family.
