1) I have to check every door and window in the house to make sure they are locked before I can go to bed. I also check in every closet to make sure no one is in there. I also won't sleep with any windows in the house open, Ray and I have gotten in more than one argument over this. He told me that my paranoia was starting to scare him. This all may be residual child protection worker PTSD. I know, it sounds like I am borderline insane and slightly OCD...
2) I can't emphasize how much I HATE pictures of myself. I avoid the camera like the plague and usually erase any picture of myself that I can. I know I need to get over this, I know it is important of me to have pictures with my kids...maybe after the baby is born and I have lost 30 pounds!!
3) I used to watch Days of our Lives every day. I stopped watching soaps all together about 2 years ago and now whenever I pass by one while flipping through the channels I feel sick to my stomach, I can't even stand to watch for 2 seconds.
4) I haven't seen a rated R movie for about 7 years. I also rarely watch PG-13 movies anymore.
5) I can't go to sleep if there are dishes in the sink. The rest of the house may be a disaster, but the kitchen has to be clean.
6) I am extremely political and extremely patriotic. I used to be an emotional, bleeding-heart liberal but have evolved into a pretty conservative person. The TV in my room is usually on fox news all day (of course, I can't turn the TV off because it's so old that it takes about 45 minutes for the picture to come on again!).
7) I LOVE CANDY!!! I think I have the biggest sweet tooth in the entire world-it is my biggest downfall in the continual weight loss saga...

8 People I Tag:

And Last of All....
I voted today. Like I said before, I don't love John McCain, but I voted for him for a few reasons. Most importantly, I think he can better keep us safe. I think this issue has been lost with the recent financial meltdown in our country, but it continues to be a major issue for me. Not that my vote makes much of a difference on the national level- Washington will go to Obama, but maybe I can make a difference in the local elections. Go Dino Rossi!! I have 2 brothers, a sister, and 2 sisters-in-law living in battleground states. YOU have a chance to actually make a difference- please, please, please, vote. There, I'm done!!

Hey Becky! The Mexican restaurant on Boise Ave. WAS Gloria's. It's now called Chef Rolland's or something like that...cajun cuisine. :o( I haven't been there to check it out yet.
Your blog is cute! I cannot believe how big (and cute) your kids are!!! Wow, time goes by so fast. Glad I have a way to check up on you guys now and then. :o)
Gloria's! Hah, Shanah got to it before me. And Big Jud's, good answer.
And I'm loving the name Naomi. I can't wait to see what she looks like!
i thought the restaurant was alberto's or something like that with an a, but it was on broadway. i love your posts, i love reading about my family.
Yeah, mom, I was thinking of the one on Broadway. I didn't really like Gloria that much...
Andrade's. That place is so good!!!! I've only been to Gloria's once and didn't like it all that much. But Andrade's...yeah. It's not on Broadway anymore. They opened a new bigger place.
What does the picture mean? Love the post.
It means that I don't really like John McCain much, but think he is the least bad....not that it matters much!! (It is a picture of a campaign button)
Number 6 makes me smile - re: Fox News. That's my girl. I remember how intensely liberal you were way back then, but I knew that someday you would convert. Real life tends to do that to a person.
Proud to be your...
Dad.
You're not boring, you're just Becky ;-) I'd probably say the same about me, but I am trying to be less hard on myself.
Guess it's my turn, I think Ang technically tagged me a while back so I better get to it.
