7 Things (Um, again.) (So sorry.)

I keep trying to dodge this tag, but you all are relentless. ;) So I am officially caving to peer pressure, mostly so I don't have to keep writing back in people's comments sections about how I've done the 7 Things Meme a jillion times before and am a genuinely uncompelling person who probably should never have been tagged with this in the first place, let alone a jillion times.

Ok, so...the disclaimer:
I have already posted every remotely interesting fact about me, my family members, and the guy down the street's cousin's dentist's wife's best friend from third grade. I am writing on fumes, here. So if you keel over from toxic levels of boredom, please blame Brooke, Wendy, and/or Lynn. :)



Here we go. Seven Things.

(At this very moment, truly, I have no idea what seven things I am about to tell you. I am just as curious as you are to find out what they might be.)

Number one. Hmmmn.
I secretly like airline food. Well, mostly just the Biscoff biscuit-style cookies served on Delta planes. My uncle mailed me several leftover Biscoffs from his recent flights, to indulge my weirdness.

Number two.
The sock episode is one of my favorite memories.

Number three.
Gloria Owens, who we do not know, who we are not related to, and who definitely does not reside at our house, gets more phone calls than all six people who do reside here put together. She owes somebody a LOT of money, apparently, and many an attorney is trying to locate her. Gloria, if you are reading this, you may want to assume an alias and move to Bhutan.

Number four. (This is going better than expected.) (As you can tell, I had very low expectations.)
I am morally opposed to manicures and pedicures. If ever I arrive home with freshly buffed nails, you will know it is time to call the nice people in white coats to come fetch me.

Number five.
I have run out of things to tell you.

Number six.
No really. Why are you still reading this?

Number seven.
Oh wait, I thought of something. Last year at this time I was in London, asking unsuspecting British people if they carry treacle tarts and butterbeer. It turns out not everything in Harry Potter is actually real. Who knew?












Hope your Friday gets exponentially more exciting from here on out. :)

In response to your disclaimer--- there are many more things you could say about yourself, such as you not only can take fabulous pictures, but you can draw and paint them too. You are super smart (thus the reason I always want you on my team for Trivial Pursuit). You cook and bake and sing and act. You are an amazing mom and wife. I could go on...

And as far as telling everything about your family members. If you decide to post things about your hubby's family---you would have things to post about forever. And they would be things that would amaze all who would read your posts. Oh wait--- do I really want you sharing things about us? Um-m-m never mind.

These tag games are like static in your clothes - it keeps coming back, lol!! I was laughing, though - you have a great sense of humor :D

I have a recipe for treacle tart. Honest.

I know! I've been tagged a jillion times for this 7 random things meme. I think I even got tagged in the comment of my tag (or maybe on the post right after it)!!!! WTH?

Your London pics are beautiful. I was there for 8 hrs. with DH once. I want to go back... for longer next time. ;)

Hahaha, you are seriously hilarious.

Morally opposed to manicures and pedicures? You know you are just asking for us to gang up on you and send you to a spa. Seriously. I just had my first pedicure on vacation and it was heaven, though a tad weird to have a complete stranger touching my feet.
