Tag your it...

My sister had this on her blog so I guess I will fill it out since it said tag your it.

6 Totally random facts about me.

1. I love to drink water but I am picky about how. If it is at a restaurant I need a straw. If it is at someones home I need a plastic cup. I do not like to drink water from glass cups because I think that the water smells like lake water so in turn my brain thinks it tastes like lake water. Hence the straw I can't smell the water plus I don't think that cups are clean enough at restaurants.

2. I cant stand it if my foods touch. I have some food issues and they have gotten much better but I still don't like my food to touch. It grosses me out to watch people mix corn in their mashed potatoes. I only eat one food item at a time and I eat things in circles. (Hamburgers, cookies, sandwiches, toast.) I also like to use separate utensils. If anyone knows me they understand this.

3. I have a new love! Lost the show. It is the most addicting show it is like crack cocaine. My favorite part is that they are all connected in their pasts and don't even know it. This show is so well thought out its crazy. I started watching them on DVD and we are almost through season three on DVD we can't wait until December for four. Ahhh. You should watch it.

4. I am going back to school to become a Pharmacist but because I was going to be a Social Worker I have lots of classes to take. So its like 6 or 7 years away.

5. I have recently learned that hair is just hair and it will grow back. I used to have a centimental irrational attachment to my hair and freak out everytime I cut my hair convinced my sister had cut off all the growth. But since I have cut my hair about 14 inches since april I'm completely over it. I cut of 8 then 2 more two weeks later. Then another 2 inches 8 weeks later, and just recently I chopped off another two to three inches. So counting the regrowth its been about 14 inches. I love it though.

6. I used to work at Hot Dog on a Stick and I absolutly loved it. I would work there again is the sad thing. So far it was probably my favorite job ever.

Since you are reading this you have to post your own so I can read them.

"Your friends will come and go, but your sisters will always be there"



I never would have thought that the comforting words of my mom when I was seven years old would continue to ring true throughout my life. When my sister Audrey and I were younger I had this friend named Kim who was my friend first. Then Audrey started coming to hang out with us, so we would get in fights. When I would complain to her she would always just say "Your friends will come and go but your sister will always be there." I think she meant it more as this is so lame you will both be over it in a day.

So to all you moms out there, chose your words wisely cause they will stick with your kids for life. The good and the bad, hopefully they will remember the good more. Pass along the most inspirational or influential words of your parents to your own kids. I know that I will.

My best friend has decided to live up to my moms words on more then one occasion, which when you have been friends for 21 years its like losing a sister in a way. The only difference is she can actually leave and my sisters can't.

So to my three longest Best Friends (my sisters). I love you! I don't know about you but I am truly greatful that Heavenly Father put you guys in my life. With all the good and the bad at the end of the day we will always be sisters. May we have many more good memories and grow old together. Sorry ladies but your stuck with me. Audrey you have been with me since I could only call you audwe. We have many memories as kids together, you and I were the most like friends you have always been my best friend ever since we spent our summers at the pool and ran around barefoot in the rain singing money for the poor. Amber you have always been the sister that I looked up to and thought was so cool. You took me to my first day of kindergarten when I was scared to go to school. You are always so funny, especially when we are alone. I think that I have enjoyed you more as a friend as an adult but its better late then never. I think I needed to grow up. Tiffany you have always been the one that took care of me. Your the sister that has always put a special vested interest into my life and happiness and for that I am infinatly grateful. You have been the sister I have always looked to for advice and probably always will.

I hope that you all have sisters and if you don't I am very sorry, hopefully you have amazing sisters-in-law. May all of your daughters be blessed with sisters. They are the best friends Heavenly Father intended you to have.
