Things you may not know about me

I've been tagged by my friend Emily. (Bunco isn't the same without you!! We miss you!)
Here are 8 useless things you may wish you never knew.

1. I got my bachelors degree in Sociology from UNLV. I took my SOC 101 (with my favorite professor and now friend, Jennifer!) to fill a requirement and about 2 classes into the semester I knew this was the major for me. I loved every single class I took! The Sociology of Death & Dying, Aging, Social Movements & Change... it is all SO interesting to me and I learned a lot! My biggest interest is childhood poverty. It amazes me that we live in one of the richest nations in the world and yet we have millions of children living here that don't get enough food to eat, don't have a place to call home, and can't see a doctor if they're sick.


2. I absolutely detest cooking. I do it because I have to, not because I enjoy it in any way, shape or form. I'm a cleaner. I would much rather clean all day long than cook. I need to find someone that is willing to cook for me if I clean for them. Any takers?????

3. I have absolutely insane dreams! I dream my teeth are falling out. I dream I'm pregnant (a little too often for my taste). I dream I can't get away from the kids I work with. Everywhere I go, they're there! I dream I leave Chris for women! (Did I say my dreams are insane???) I have learned over time not to take them seriously. I'd be a basket case (and a lesbian) if I did! :)


4. I am completely and ridiculously infatuated with Ewan McGregor. He is adorable!
Enough said there!


5.I am a reality TV junkie. I love Survivor, The Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model, The Biggest Loser, America's Got Talent, Dancing With The Stars, etc. I think because I am a pretty competitive person I love the competition aspect of all these shows. I know I should find better things to do with my time! I usually don't sit and watch, I am usually taking care of things with the TV on in the background. That makes it a little better... right?

6. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people use the wrong your and there in a sentence. I can't stand when people don't use the contraction you're when needed. For example... it's not "Your my best friend." it is "YOU'RE my best friend." As for there... don't use "I want to go to there house." use instead "I want to go to THEIR house." I know it's silly, and I don't really care about other mistakes but for some reason those two drive me crazy!!!

7. I am a Diet Pepsi junkie. I can't get enough of the stuff. Diet Pepsi and water are about all I drink. I know I need to quit drinking it, but I enjoy it way too much to give it up!


8. Last but not least... I have 14 nieces and nephews (on the Karnes side of the family). Being 6th of 8 kids, having a lot of nieces and nephews is inevitable. They range from almost 22 to 6 weeks old. I'm sure there are more to come. I only wish we lived closer to them. It would be good to be part of their every day lives (notice the use of the correct THEIR?)

I'm missing a few pics and some are a little old. (I'm a bad aunt!) I need to bug my brothers and sisters for newer pictures!

So there ya go! You will never get back the 3 minutes it took you to look at this blog entry. I hope it was worth it. I hereby tag Julie, Robyn, Julie and Jennifer!
