Here are my seven...

After much procrastination, I figured it was time to post my "seven random things about me. I was tagged by Ashley and I figured, what good is it be tagged if I don't follow through?

So here they are:

1. I love to color. Like with crayons...in coloring books...6 year old style. Give me a box of crayons (good ones, like Crayola. Not the "no name brand" kinds that are waxy and break on you) and a coloring book and you will have one happy camper! What's even better is that I read once that coloring is a stress reliever! So maybe we all need to set aside some time for some coloring sessions and the world will be a better place. :)

2. When I was younger, I collected stamps. Like postage stamps, not the cute kinds you use for cards and scrap booking. That kind might be understandable. Not sure how it started, or at what point it stopped, but I had quite the collection going and to be honest I have no idea where that collection is today. And the more I think about it...stamps? STAMPS? Of all the hobbies for a little girl to have, how did I end up with that one?

3. I looooove grits! You heard right. Grits! Sometime during my travels through the Midwest, I saw them on a menu and figured, why not? And I guess the rest is history because I have them for breakfast (and sometimes lunch....and sometimes late night snack) about 3 or 4 times a week.

4. I am a reality show junky. That one is a little hard to admit. The dumb thing is, every time I see a commercial for some new reality TV show, I roll my eyes just as much as the next person. But all it takes is not changing the channel ONE time because I am doing something like folding laundry or making dinner, and next thing you know, I am tuning in the next week. I guess someone at the network is doing their job right.

5. I wear my retainer every night. I am wearing it right now as I type actually. The best part is that it's glittery hot pink, with dark blue foot prints on it...yeah...chose that one when I was 13.

6. I love circle ice. Not the big circle, with the hole in the middle that you will find in most ice machines. I am talking the hard to find tiny circles that are almost like a slushy. My greatest discovery was finding that Sonic sells it by the bag. And even better than that, is that it's only a dollar!

7. When I was little, I couldn't wait to turn 12 so that I could pass the sacrament. You can imagine my disappointment when I figured out that only boys pass the sacrament. Why it took more than a second to realize that all the people walking around with those little trays were boys, I will never know. Oh man, I am a weirdo!

For anyone who hasn't done this yet, you definitely should. Not only will we learn a bit more about you, but like me, you might come to the realization of what a nerd you are!

You're hilarious! I need to do mine too...only thing is...I'm such an open book I'm not sure if there are any random things about me that I haven't blabbed about already.

I still need to do mine too. It's fun to read! I love to color too, Brianna has this princess coloring book and we colored all through conference, well, I colored all through conference. K, I think I know what grits are, but not exactly sure...post a recipe.

Grits are sort of like cream of wheat. You can buy them at stores on the isle with all the breakfast items, like oatmeal and other warm cereals.

Here is the wikipeida definition:

Grits is a type of corn porridge and a food common in the Southern United States consisting of coarsely ground corn. This is similar to many other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta. It also has a lesser resemblance to farina, a thinner porridge.
