7 Facts about me:
1. I have a weird issue with toilet paper rolls. Yep! That's right - toilet paper rolls. When I place them on the holder the toilet paper has to fall behind the roll against the wall. If it comes over the roll away from the wall I get anxiety! Which is funny - I learned later on in life that my Dad has the same issue only the opposite. So, whenever we go to each others homes - WE SWITCH THEM!!! So, if you noticed yours is switched & you realize I was at your home - it was probably me!
2. I actually prefer candy over chocolate. (Except for certain times of the month.) I know weird. Allison's probably dying right now, but it's true. I love tart things. And, oh how I love hot tamales!! Even though, as sad as it is, I actually can't handle the sugar like I used to. (Yes, Lydia, that means I can no longer eat a whole carton of ice cream in one sitting anymore!) And, as sad as this may make some, I actually no longer love PEACHIES like I used to. I just never had the heart to tell anyone.
3. I absolutely LOVE Extreme Makeover Home Edition. This is by far my favorite TV show! Which I have many. But, I love how they always help people who really need it. I ball the whole time. My favorite one so far is the Hawaiian family from Logan, UT. 
If you haven't seen it - look it up! It's the best - so amazing!!
If you haven't seen it - look it up! It's the best - so amazing!!P.S. - The season premiere is this Sunday & they go to Hawaii!!! I'm so all over that one!
4. I could not live without my phone. 
Everything gets put in my calendar in my phone. If it doesn't - then I won't remember it. If I ever lost my phone I would be devestated!!! Litereally, you'd have to put me in a home...

I am in no way a DRAMA QUEEN. Ok, I know you're all laughing at that one right now because I TOTALLY am! And I wonder where my kids get it from? Oh yeah - ME!! I'm so dramatic & a total WO IS ME type. But, I'm trying my hardest to change that. It's actually been a trying summer for me & I'm learning a lot & the fact that my overdramaticness (Is that even a word? It is now!) never helps!
6. Another thing I love is Christmas. So much so that for the whole month of December my kids are not allowed to watch anything but Christmas movies. We're also only allowed to listen to Christmas music in our house! I know that's wrong, but I love it. And by golly, my kids will learn to love it, too. Actually, they get just as crazy as me, so they don't care that I do that to them!
7. I know this may come as a shock, but I have some OCD tendencies. (Jess, you're going to love this one!) I do everything in patterns. (Don't ever watch me eat M&M's or skittles - it'll make your head hurt!) I count up to 5 in my head at all times. As I walk I count by 5's. Let me try to explain: While walking in the mall I take 5 steps on the dark tiles & then 5 steps on the light tiles. Make sense? I always walk close to the lines, so you'd never really know I'm doing it. Now try & magnify that 100 times into every aspect of your life!? I don't know how to explain it or why, but it rules my life. I constantly create words out of other words as well. You know the old games you'd get in school where you'd get a phrase & see how many words you can make out of it? Yeah - I do that with almost every word I see. Hence, another reason I don't enjoy reading. Too many words to stress about making into other words. What can I say - my brain is a mess!!!
8. I know - technically there's only suppose to be 7 things, but I'm adding an 8th just for fun. Which this should be a big shocker since I'm adding an 8th one, but I'm sure you all already know this one. I DON'T LIKE BREAD! Why that's so strange for people I'm not sure, but I'm not a fan of bread or flour products. Such as: any bread of course, pasta, tortillas (even though I live off Mexican food - corn tortillas for me) pizza, etc.
Well, that's me & now I tag (since I have such a huge list to pick from - sorry guys) Allison, EmmaLee, Heather & Rennie. Now you guys do this & tag 7 people if you can - you just can't tag me back. My list is small, so you guys are the lucky winners!!

Melanie~ You'll never guess who this is...Ranee (used to be McCarter). I found your blog listed on Heather's blog and thought I'd say hello! What a small world!
did you notice after we left that sunday that the TP in the quest bathroom was switched my way {aka the right way} cause i'm weird like that, too. but dont worry you win the ocd award.
I don't know if I can be your friend anymore! No more sharing PEACHIES? I believe you even wrote about them in my yearbook! I guess we can now have hot tamale parties instead, because I love those too.
I had no idea that your brain works like that, WOW! I might call it creativity rather than OCD...or what ever. I can't beleive you put so much effort into eating candy and walking. I am just trying to not fall down. You mind is what some may call intense! I am glad to know these things about you. Now, I need to focus on 7 things that I know about myself...that could be a challenge.
Mel, I always knew you were crazy, but that's a little whoa!! JK, I think we all have weird things we do. I am right there with you on Christmas as you probably read on mine- I LOVE it! I'm getting together with Julie next week if you want to come let me know!
I'm impressed that I actually knew the majority of this stuff about you (with the exception of you loving "Extreme Makeover". I am on your dad's team. That is one thing that bothers me immensely. In fact, it bothers me so much that if I'm at someone else's house and the toilet paper roll is on "wrong", I'll change it. I'll have to remember not to do that when we come to visit. :) We've talked about the counting thing before. I write in cursive on my hand sometimes when I hear words said aloud. We're freaks and our children are dramatic! I love it!
Oh remember the ice cream....I still love it though and hot tamales! I'm with your dad with the toilwt paper roll!
