Tagged Again!

As if my last tag response wasn't scary enough, I've been tagged again. This time Koe wants to know 7 random and weird facts about me. In my opinion, all facts about me are random and weird, but here goes - this is probably the easiest tag I've ever had....or not. I have to tag 7 people? I don't know that many people. AAAHHH!! Okay, I'll try.

Here's the rules:

Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
Post 7 random or weird facts about yourself on your blog.
Tag 7 people and link to them.
Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

Seven Random or Weird Facts About Me:

1. I don't clean my house. Not ever. My husband does.

2. I believe in aliens, but not dinosaurs, which is funny because supposedly there is solid proof of dinosaurs, but no real solid proof of aliens. I just don't believe the museum exhibits and scientific studies. I don't know why.

3. I met my husband for the first time on my wedding day. The marriage was arranged. By me and him. lol.

4. I have a hard time looking at people when they talk to me. I have been doing medical transcription for ten years and I zone out while I type, so I've trained my eyes to not focus on anything, so now when I have to, it takes hard work and concentration. I notice this problem the most when people are talking to me and I have to look at them. It's very difficult. My eyes wanna cross and stare off into space.

5. Like my friend who tagged me, I also like to pick my kids' noses, particularly my 1-year-old, Chloe's. She has the crusties in the morning and I like to dig them out. It's therapeutic.

6. I write music as a hobby, which I'm trying to make into a living, but I can only get inspired to write when I'm really tired, hot and sweaty and my heart is pounding really fast. I kind of go into this weird, hallucinogenic state and the words and music just come to me. It's the ONLY way I can write. So, I have to either go work out hard at the gym or take a hot bath - so hot that it kind of burns me, and I sit in it and sweat and start to lose my mind.

7. My family nicknamed me Frass, which somebody looked up one time years ago and found out that frass is actually the scientific term for caterpillar poop. Coincidence? I'll never know.

Ok, now I tag:

Weekend Getaway

Our friends, the Crandells invited us to Sedona this weekend to stay in their vacation property and it was AMAZING! Sedona is so gorgeous! Our camera doesn't even do it justice. We seriously need to buy a better digital camera. One that can zoom. But, out of 50 bazillion pictures, this was the best one I got of Sedona.

The Crandell's vacation home is....WOW! It was pure luxury. We stayed with them in a three-bedroom condo with two family rooms, TVs in every room,

huge showers in the three bathrooms.

A gorgeous full kitchen complete with every appliance and dish you could possibly need,

and, most importantly - jacuzzi tubs in every room. I never got to use it, but John John did twice and he said it was AWESOME, so I'm going to take his word for it.

We arrived Friday evening and Saturday morning, we took a drive to the snow. The snow was so thick and fresh that with each step we took, we were in up to our knees, so we found this "island" - a picnic table out under the trees and we all stood on it and watched the brave ones make snowmen and throw snowballs.

Look at this handsome little dude. This is the Crandells' son. Their only boy.....so far. He's such a little stud in that leather jacket. Chloe had a thing for him.

Our friends, the Worthens, were invited up too. Here's Dave Worthen with Bertrand.

And here's Jenn Crandell and I stranded on the picnic table with our babies. I say "stranded" because we found ourselves caught in the snowball fight crossfire, but in order to get back over to that camper and truck behind us (mostly hidden by the wall o' snow) we'd have to trek back in snow up to our knees carrying babies. We fell a few times. We were soaking wet, but we had a blast.

John enjoyed the snowball fights. It was hard to get a close up of him because he was always off in the distance, running behind trees and pelting people.

Here's a couple of his victims. Alec looks like he's in pain.

Miranda was a good sport.

Margo was the photographer most of the time, but we found someone willing to stop pelting everyone with snowballs long enough to snap a picture. Chloe enjoyed just being held and watching all of the action.

Sylvie enjoyed sucking the snow off of her mittens.

But the best part.....

Was at the end of the day when the kids passed out so the adults could play.

It's divine. I LOVE looking at my kids when they sleep....so peaceful.

This was the best sleep they've all had in a long time!

It was a great weekend! A much needed break! Thank you, Crandells, for inviting us to indulge in the luxury of one of your vacation homes.
