I think I got tagged a month ago by Mother25/8. Maybe I'm not the right Renee F., but I'm going to play this game anyway. I'm supposed to list 6 things people don't know about me and then tag 6 others. The problem is, everyone already knows everything and I only have like 5 blogging friends!
1. I love yard work. I pretend I don't and act like a martyr when I'm working, but I really do. Planting and trimming and cutting, what a rush! It's so much better than working out and gives me what I love the most, complete control. Well, me and Mother Nature of course. I don't mow or water the law anymore though.
2. Other people's kids get on my nerves. There are only a few select children who I enjoy being around and the rest irritate the crap out me. I was a Primary President too.... so sad. There was one child, whose name I won't mention, that was absolutely horrible. She told me once in a really mean voice, "I don't like you!" I told her I didn't like her either, but she needed to get in line or I was taking her to her mom. She was shocked, but quickly got in line.
3. I have an amazing sense of smell. I can smell things that no one else can. This is more a curse than a blessing, let me tell you! I remember pushing a woman so hard in Kohls to get away from an offensive smell that almost made me throw up. The store was crowded and I couldn't move in any direction.
4. I hide from "pop overs". One of my biggest pet peeves are unannounced visitors. If I don't know you're coming, I'm most likely not going to answer the door. Only good friends get to see my disorganized house and smell my morning breath. Lucky them.
5. I am the best pancake maker ever. I don't know what it is, but my pancakes are tremendous. Come try them sometime, really... just call first.
6. My strange vast knowledge of vintage cinema. When I first came back to the US as a teenager, I was obsessed with AMC. At the time, they still played the really old movies from the 30's, 40's and 50's. My favorites included Alexander's Ragtime Band, Ginger Rogers and Gracie Allen. My family made so much fun of me during that weird time, but now I can throw down with old people like nobody's business!
I tag Candice, Kristen, Heather, Robin, Alice, and Martha.

Creepy that I share #'s 1-3 with you. The others, not so much, yet still impressive. I am just smiling thinking of you going to a nursing home and smokin the old folks at a round of trivial pursuit. The thought reminds me of that guy on the single's ward (have you ever seen that?)
O.k. and how funny is it that we don't like other people's kids...I was just cracking up thinking about you taking on that kid in primary. i would do the exact same thing...and I thought I was wierd.
Do you think that there is a chance that if we ever meet, we might like each other's children, just because we know that we really don't like them? (does that make sense)
And, here is my response to my previous tagging duty

OK Renee, when I read this I smiled in agreement regarding other people's kids. My most favorite kids are the children of my closest friends. That's all there is to it. I was never a "kid" person as a teenager. Remember that dentist family in Germany? The ONLY reason I baby-sat for them was strictly for the money and to rummage through their cupboards. So I'm really surprised I have 5 of my own. But yeah, I love my friend's kids simply because I loved their mother first.
