A little about me!

So, I was tagged by Kadie in an older post about 3 weeks ago...I know way to go Carrissa, you slowpoke, anyway I am finally going to post about 6 little facts or habits that I have. At first I thought, what is this, a chain mail type of thing that I used to get over email ALL the time. But then after reading a few fellow bloggers and what they wrote about themselves, it was kind of fun to read all of the personal tidbits you don't ever hear about. So, I am jumping on the band wagon and I am going to tell you all a few things. Now, I am not a creative writer like some I absolutely LOVE to read, a shout out to 4 that I enjoy: Ali, Kadie, Marie, and Karla. But of course I do enjoy all that I read, so bear with me!

1. I am totally and completely afraid of spiders. Now you might be thinking, well duh Carrissa, so are most people, but I am beyond just afraid, I get hysterical and completely embarrass myself by freaking out at the smallest little baby of a spider. I just can't seem to get a grip.
2. I love gummy bears. However, when I eat them, I have this OCD thing where I have to have an equal amount of colors. If I eat 1 red one and I am left with 2 greens, 2 oranges, 2 yellows, and 1 red, I then have to eat 1 green, 1 orange, and 1 yellow so that there are now 1 of all the colors, make sense?
   
3. My favorite color is red. Yeah this might not be the most exciting tidbit you have heard, but it goes further than just a favorite color. I have a red cell phone, a red wallet, my most favorite pair of shoes are red ballets, and my car is red :)
4. I absolutely LOVE shoes. I have 50 pairs probably and I wear every single one!
   
5. I love to scrapbook both digitally (this was inspired by my dear sister-in-law Karla) and conventionally. I am doing Shanna's first year conventionally and Shanna's second year I am doing digitally and I am hoping for a great deal around Christmas time from Winkflash for a hardbound copy of all the pages I have done this year. We will see how long I keep it up! :) I have to say though, my sister-in-law has 3 kids and she does an excellent job at keeping up on her children's lives through scrapbooking!
6. I am huge fan of being around people. I love people, I love company, and I love talking :) Now to some of you that may seem a tad overwhelming, but I love it, I am definitely an extravert and I enjoy people! :)
   

Now for those of you who made it this far, congrats! I didn't mean to make this a novel, but it was kind of fun to think about what I like to do! I tag anyone who wants to share something about their life! Go ahead its really fun for those of us reading!

What we do when the swimming pool isn't cleaned out yet and its EXTREMELY hot outside!!

Jump...Jump...Jump!

Shanna has found a new favorite toy...She often wanders the house saying..Jump..Jump! Grandpa is especially fun to play with. And whats neat is that my parents' trampoline is in the ground. So if she falls, its not that far right? or am I just being an insensitive mother?! :)
