Tag...I'm it!

I've never done anything like this, but it sounds like fun. What a great way to make me really think about myself.

I've been tagged by my wonderful sis in law RACHEL!

The rules:

A. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

B. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog, for these rules.

1. I absolutely LOVE to cook...anything! As long as it's not boring, ordinary food. I love to try new recipes and then add my own "secret" ingredient(s) and make it even better. As a matter of fact, I've been inquiring about "The Chef's Academy" here in Indianapolis. It will be a couple of years before I start, but I'm doing my research. Funny thing though that I never thought about....Bill and I were out to dinner the other night with some friends of ours and we were trying to figure out what something tasted like. Kathy said "well I think we might have to go to cooking school." I said "you know, that is what I'm going to do. I'm going to be a chef!" She said "Yeah! Like Monica on Friends!" Then Bill said something like "You ARE trying to become Monica!!! This all makes sense now!" Anyway, NO I'm not TRYING to be like Monica, I already am!! Just kidding! :-) So, yes, I LOVE to cook.

2. I love to be alone. I love peace and quiet. It's hard to come by with two little ones running around and causing chaos! I had some alone time today while the kids were at school and got some shopping done. Then came home and enjoyed the pure silence. It was heaven!!!

3. I am being sued. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought that I would ever be sued. But yes, the jerk that I used to work for is suing me over a bunch of nonsense. He's just doing it because I went to work for one of his old associates and he knows that it's costing me a lot of money I don't have. It started in July, hopefully it will be over soon. Unfortunately I'm becoming more knowledgable about the legal system then I would ever care for! Please say a prayer for me!

4. I love to read. I have to read before I go to bed or I can't sleep. Even if it's just a page or two (which usually ends up being a couple of chapters). I love mystery novels. Normally I read James Patterson, Iris Johansen, Patricia Cornwell or Sandra Brown. They are all excellent authors. Speaking of authors, did you hear that JK Rowling "outed" Dumbeldore??? That is so rediculous. Seriously!!!!

5. I love to watch movies with Bill. We don't get to see very many movies in the theater, so we wait until they come out on DVD and rent them. We pop popcorn and he has to have Twizzlers and Pepsi and I have to fix my "movie drink" which is Sprite and cherry kool-aid. Half the time I fall asleep, but it still is a good time.

6. I don't like Halloween. Actually, I'm getting better about it for the kids sake. It all started in Wurzburg when a girl named Cathy rode by on her bike and stole my candy. My friend Jenny has taught me that it can be fun. Halloween is her FAVORITE holiday, she goes a little crazy though. Last year she organized a halloween party at work. We do take the kids trick or treating, but I'm always on the look-out for "candy stealers". I wonder if Cathy realizes that she scarred me for life!?!

I tag Mom! As for the other 5, I'm not sure. This has been fun!

Good job Monica! That's funny that we are almost opposite on the cooking thing! Funny! I know that you will be alright with the lawsuit - no worries! And remember, you are supposed to tag mom as one of the people!!
