More Honest Crap

I am shocked. I never win anything-- never. Emily just nominated me for this award, although I don't know what I win except another chance to talk about myself, which I obviously like to do. So thank you!!!

These are the rules:
1. Choose…blah, blah, blah…brilliant in content or design
2. Show the…blah,blah, blah…can keep the nifty icon.
3. List at least 10 honest things about yourself

Believe me, this list is honest-- brutally in some cases.

1. I was really confused by rules 1 and 2 and still can't tell you what they mean.
2. I tried out for cheerleading in high school. If you have seen me in aerobics, or even just trying to climb a flight of stairs you already know I didn't make it. I have never really regretted it either.
3. My family nickname is Bootles, or Bootie for short. My grandmother is the only one who still calls me Bootie. Jared is the only one who calls me Bootles. If he ever calls me by my first name then I know I am in trouble.
4. I tried to kill one of my roommate's plants my first year in college. My other roommate and I poured all kinds of cleaning chemicals in it, over and over. The darn thing never died. These days I can't keep any plant alive, I think it's karma.
5. I was an art major for about 5 minutes. I got intimidated-- plain and simple.
6. Despite what I've said in almost every job interview since I can remember, I am NOT good at multi-tasking.
7. I like to use tools. I like to put things together and figure them out. Once while Beth and I were both living in Provo, our dad called me to go help her change the tire on her car. I enjoy that kind of thing. Beth on the other hand, enjoys watching and bringing me lemonade to drink.
8. As a child I used to sit on the toilet and make up stories until my legs fell asleep.
9. I think Ralph Fiennes is so good looking. I thought so even before I married Jared who occasionally looks like him.
10. People used to tell me I looked like Lisa Loeb or Julia Roberts. I always considered myself more of a Molly Ringwald. These days I'm just lucky if they tell me I look like I actually got ready for the day.

Do you think if Molly Ringwald and Ralph Fiennes had babies they would be as cute as ours? No way.

So there you go. Now I get to choose some people to get the award. First Beth because I know she has some stories (and puns) to share, next, Meri because we all like drama, and finally Stacey because I want to know more about her.
