Getting tagged....

I have been late in posting this, but I got tagged by my cousin Lisa. So I'm supposed to write 6 things about myself...and then tag 6 other people's blogs. This is going to be hard since I don't usually write about myself.

1. I'm happy for the holiday season! Jared and I decided to get ready for Christmas early this year and we have been ready for some time now. We got all our Christmas shopping done. I've never been the one to have my Christmas shopping done early. Usually I go up to Christmas Eve and do last minute shopping, so it is kind of nice just being able to relax and enjoy the holidays with the kids. Also I got my Christmas cards out early and goodies to the neighbors. What am I going to do for these next few days before Christmas?

2. I have to have 10 cavities filled before Christmas. I went in on the 14th and had 6 cavities filled and am going in on the 21st and having 4 more cavities filled. I've never had so many in my whole life. I've just gone to a new dentist that is closer and I don't like the new dentist as much as my old one. My old dentist is more gentle and isn't as money hungry as most dentists and I've been going to him since I was a child. So I just might go back to my old dentist, even though he is a farther drive away. Maybe I should cut back on the sweets...Bad time of year for that though.

3. I am a terrible housekeeper. Just like Lisa mentioned in her blog. I think I am the same way. I put things off and procrastinate. I put off cleaning our house sometimes and get tired of the same old cleaning jobs over and over. The same things need to be cleaned and then they get dirty again. Usually no one notices the work that is done around the house. I wish there were awards given out for cleaning the house.

4. I love volunteering in Madeline's kindergarten class. I babysit for my neighbor on Tuesdays and volunteer at Madeline's class on Wednesdays. It is fun to watch her interact with others. Madeline does a really good job at schoolwork. Her best friend at school is Cailey and they both do everything together. I get to see her do show and tell on Wednesdays and it is funny to see what kind of things she wants to show everyone. Usually it is her stuffed animals.

5. I love freebies and digital scrapbooking. It is fun to search on the internet for cute things. I am a ribbon/bow person so I try to find lots of those types of freebies. I've been doing this 12 days of Christmas freebie quickpage thing on the internet at: http://weedsandwildflowersdesign.typepad.com/the_meadow/ They have such cute quickpages each day and it is fun because they have a Christmas question each day that you can answer to be entered into a drawing for more free stuff.

6. I was inspired by Lisa and her new blog header to make a blog header for my page also, so although it isn't as good as hers: http://izatts.blogspot.com/ I tried to make mine look festive and like the holidays.

I don't know 6 people who blog. So I guess I will tag the ones I know: Karri, Summer, and Joni.

Christi,
I think that was the most I have ever heard you talk about yourself - I loved it! You need to tag yourself at least once a month so that we get to hear more about you...seriously, it was a really fun post to read!
I as well love your header...maybe over the break we should get together and you can help me understand digi-scrapbooking...would you be interested in that? We could come there, or you are SO welcome to come this way? Let me know!

....oh yeah, and I guess I will get on the posting on my blog about being tagged...it was much more fun to read about you though!
