I got tagged and have had a hard time thinking of 7 things that nobody else knows about me. So here goes...
1. I love to cook. Especially desserts and treats. I just hate the planning, the shopping and the clean up. I am so glad that I still have kids at home to do the dinner dishes.
2. Last year I took piano lessons. A sweet lady in our ward, that has taught lessons for years, taught a group of 4 women from my ward. She taught us with the program the church puts out. I can play all the hymns from the Hymns Made Easy book, some better than others. My family is probably getting tired of hearing me practice the same songs over and over again...that is when I find time to practice.
3. I hate to get my face wet. I even hate the shower running over my face. I like to swim, as long as my head stays above the water. I remember when I was little and took swimming lessons, I was scared to death of jumping off the diving board. I stood on the diving board and cried because I was so scared. Probably because that meant my face would get wet. I think I have had this fear since I was young.
4. I like my toenails to be painted. You will never see them not painted. Aleena gave me the stuff to do a french pedicure for my birthday and has been painting them for me. She does an awesome french pedicure. Thanks Aleena!
5. I HATE winter. I like to look outside and see the snow, but I hate to be outside in it. By February I am pretty depressed and ready to move somewhere where it is warm all year. I love the sun and the heat. Summer just isn't long enough.
6. I love to drink water. The colder the better. Especially if it has been in the freezer for an hour or two and has a little ice in it. I prefer water over soda pop, juice, milk(actually, I hate milk) or any other kind of drink.
7. I have a fear of being in front of people or being the center of attention. I actually get physically ill if I know I have to speak in front of people. I also sit back and wait for people to approach me and then I will talk to them. I don't usually initiate the conversation. I also have a hard time knowing what to say. I know my dad and my sister struggle with this too. Maybe it runs in our family. Anyway I hope my kids take after Tony. He can talk to anyone, anywhere about anything.
Boy am I glad to be finished with this it has weighed heavily on my mind. I hope you learn some things that you didn't know about me. Everyone I know has been tagged already and so this will probably end with me...sorry!

Good job, Mom, for playing along! I think that the only person that has really taken after Dad about the "being able to talk to anyone thing" is Trevor. Once the ice has been broken I can tell anyone anything, but that conversation start up is a killer. I geuss I have gotten a lil better now that I have to meet strangers every day I got to work or clinical. I definetely still stess about it berfore hand though.
