So, here are the six random things about myself:

1. I've moved to here in 1991 when my wonderful hubby and I got married and started our blended family...we have moved 4 times in 5 years and never left town. My next move (I pray) is 6 foot under :)

2. All the can goods in my pantry have to be grouped together according to their contents, front facing and turned right side up....only thing I don't do is alphabetize.

3. I was married 3 weeks after graduation to my "high school sweetheart" and it soon turned into a nightmare, was married for 6 1/2 years, divorced him, was a single parent for 4 years before marrying my best friend, my wonderful husband...my God sent knight in shining armour.

4. I am a "Granny" at 46 years old..."bonus" Granny.

5. I was mischievious my senior year in high school. I, with 2 more girls and 3 guys, climbed the water tower at the end of the football field the week before graduation and spray painted as many classmates initials on there as we could. We couldn't keep a straight face during graduation because it was staring right at us. Lord, help me...you reap what you sow...I have a teenager still at home :(

6. I love a man in uniform...well, my man anyway. Scroll down and see him in his police uniform in the right sidebar :)

Now, I'm supposed to tag 6 more people...hmmmmm...let's see.

Shannon at Bless Our Nest

Naomi at Loving My Life as Mommy & Wife

Kim at Nothing Can Separate Me From His Love

I've Been Tagged...15 Things

I’ve been tagged by Denise at Shorty Bears Place...I just thought I had dodged the bullet on this tag :) BUSTED!

15 things that I’m not afraid to admit...Yikes!!!

Well... I have a lot of things that I could say but some of them are just quirky...so, I’m going to do a post later on quirky things that I do. So...stay tuned and you will either laugh or think I’m just plain nuts...you’ll have to let me know which one it is.

1. I’m not a chocolate lover but I'd rather have starches and salty foods.

2. I personally have a huge hang up on wearing jeans to church on Sunday mornings.

3. I was raised Baptist and attended a Baptist church for 19 years before attending and finally joining an Assembly of God church 27 years ago.

4. I took a poll earlier this week...asking if you would ever have cosmetic plastic surgery...the poll is still in the right sidebar with the results. Well, I voted that I have already had plastic surgery and loved the results. I have had several procedures done within a two year period (10 yrs. ago) however, you would never know what I had done if you didn’t know me before. If the financing ever becomes available again... I will have another 1-2 done. Again, it will be a subtle change, but I will know it and it will make me feel better.

5. I'm always late or nearly late...I have to drive like a manic to get there on time. I hate to have to wait around...it's waste of my time so I'm guilty of cutting it too close...most of the time. The roof would cave in if I ever got to church on Sunday mornings on time! 8:00 AM is too early and the second service runs too long. Sorry, Pastor Rusty :) It drives my husband crazy because he wants to leave an hour earlier than what you would normally have to leave.

6. I prefer yard work anyday over housework.

7. I had a total hysterectomy 2 years ago and I LOVE IT!!!

8. I have battled with anxiety, depression and severe mood swings (brought on by PMS) in the past for a number of years. The mood swings were taken care of after my hysterectomy because he removed my ovaries too. The anxiety and depression arise from time to time but I've learned how to handle it.

9. My husband knows when I forget to take my hormones...because...you got it...I have major mood swings again. He will ask me "did you take your hormones this morning? Grrrrrr! But, usually the answer is "no".

10. I love to organize things...anything! I have organized my attic, the garage (sorted every screw, nut, bolt and nail that we own...seriously), the storage room, the cabinets, the closets...other people cabinets and closets. I love to organize someones move...packing and unpacking. Ok, I know that is weird!

11. I'm a handywoman...if it can be fixed or rigged...I can devise a way to do it...a workable way to do it, at that. My theory is...if it can be taught and/or learned...then if you can do it...so can I. I have taught myself to lay vinyl flooring, build things, refinish furniture, lay ceramic tile, pour concrete (well, I learned that in "Agri" my senior year...along with cutting with a blow torch and I used to be able to weld)...I love the challenge!!! My daddy didn't raise a girly girl.

12. I'm not a very affectionate person (that I blame on my ex because I was before him)...I am with my kids but I struggle and have to work at it with others.

13. I hate to dust! I would vacuum, sweep or mop everyday if I could get out of dusting.

14. I clean my house to nearly spotless before we leave on a trip. My thoughts are...If I die while I'm gone...I don't want my friends and family taking about what a nasty housekeeper I was...after I die.

15. I get up, shower, fix my hair and put on my make-up...even if I'm not leaving the house...I work from home and I seem to be more productive that way. But, I also do it before I go exercise...I look terrible without make-up...I don't want anyone to see me that way. Oh...here is something funny about that...I was having surgery about 10 years ago and I hate to be seen without at least mascara. So, even though, they said "don't wear any make-up the morning of your surgery"...well, I put mascara on. When I woke up (stayed for 23 hour observation) got up and went to the potty...I saw myself in the mirror. I know now why they say don't wear make-up. It was all over my face due to the drops or grease they put in your eyes during surgery...believe me...waterproof doesn't help one bit.

Now, I am tagging...Tammy at Not Mine But God's Story...you're it, Tammy.
