i've been tagged by bluegirl to come up with 7 random things about myself (perhaps just what i need to light the ol' blogging fire). so, without further ado:
1. i LOVE dr. pepper and recently (sadly) switched over to diet...the weird thing about my dr. pepper love is that i HAVE to drink it out of a glass, with ICE. no drinking from the can or bottle and no drinking it if there is no ice around. the friday & saturday before mother's day, a bunch of women from our ward (i think around 30?) went on a mini-vacation to lancaster county, PA. i heart the sweet amish women running a sandwich shop at Bird In Hand for having ice cold cans of dr. pepper and ice for me! they also make a fantastic ham sandwich.
(okay, i need to interject here...i obviously can't just flat-out list 7 things, i go rambling off in several directions, so bear with me!)
2. i love cute little notebooks. i'm pretty sure i always have. i never know exactly what i am going to write in them, and they are seldom dedicated to one sole purpose, but i can never resist buying them. i confess that in the past 2 months i have bought at least 4! maybe someday i can come up with a relly good use for them...something purposeful and meaningful and lovely. i welcome all ideas and suggestions.
3. i have been craving those salted nut roll candybars...you know the ones -- bright red wrapper, salty peanutty goodness wrapped around a layer of caramel and yummy white something or other. they are nowhere to be found here in the garden state, so i would love someone to send me one! (nudge-nudge) yum.
4. i hate planning menus and grocery shopping (but love to cook, oddly)recently, however, 2 things have revolutionized the way i look at grocery shopping. seriously. my ipod (there is nothing better than grocery shopping at night with your own personal soundtrack) and reuseable grocery bags (it's so nice to load/carry in/unload just 4-5 bags rather than 20).
5. i have a thing for lowercase letters and parenthesis. (no, really!?) i just like the look of the lowercase letters...everything is so even and nice. and parenthesis? (come on, do i really need to answer this?) they provide such a nice aside for things that pop into my head but don't fit into the sentence per se.)
6. i will be participating in "mind over madness" -- a summer solstice celebration featuring mass yoga sessions in the middle of times square. i'm so excited! (still looking for a committed yoga buddy to go with me!)
7. the thing that drives me mad more than anything else, the thing i find the most insufferable, the thing that i can't STAND is -- having a stuffed-up nose. (kinda anti-climactic, huh?) seriously. i hate it. which leads me to number 7 1/2 on my list: i'm a hardcore nasal spray addict. shocking, isn't it. i'm a junkie. especially with these blasted new jersey allergens getting to me. the worst part? i don't even WANT to quit. so there.
so, continuting this hallowed blogiverse tradition, i hereby tag: sisters honna and linny, anonymous ruby, and menacing tourist. :) love you guys -- blog away.

Fun blog, Spyder! OK, how weird....I feel EXACTLY the same about Dr. Pepper! I just barely switched to diet (I try to sneak a little of the real thing into the diet - - that makes it a little better) and I HAVE to have ice in a cup. Drinking out of the can or bottle is impossible. Whenever I order at restaurants, it's always with "extra ice." :)
Notebooks are great! I recently bought a notebook specifically for jotting down particular verses that stand out to me in the bible while I'm at church or at bible study or doing a daily reading. Sometimes I write a thought or two about it as well. I guess it is kind of a journal, but I think it will be interesting to read in 10 years and see what things are seemingly impressive in my life now.
I gotta agree with the bit about a stuffy nose. I HATE that too! (I once gave Jake the Afrin and told him to hide it:)
wow, sis! we have so much in common. i am also a sucker for a cute notebook, hate planning menu's but love to cook, and am obsessed with lowercase letters. the hardest part about the lowercase letters is... well, you will just have to read my 7 random things (when i get around to blogging them!)
Hi, I'm just a random person reading your blog but I couldn't help saying that I have a notebook addiction too! They don't even have to be cute notebooks- there is just something about the possibility a group of blank pages hold.... I mean they could be anything, recipes, poems, stories, doodles...etc.
