Lisa over at Books. Lists. Life. tagged me for a fun meme. It seems like a fun way for everyone to get to know me. So, here we go.
1) I plan our family's meals monthly. I do one big grocery shopping trip a month. It makes for a long day, around 4 hours. I have been doing this since The Boy was born. We usually eat lunch at the deli or the restaurant located in our store. We fill up one buggy, eat lunch, and then go back to fill up a second buggy. I like doing it this way, but my friends think I am crazy.
2) I love going to the movies. If Jason and I are given an entire date day, then we will probably choose to watch a matinee, eat lunch, watch a late matinee, get take-out back to the house, and enjoy the sounds of the childless house. In fact, this is exactly what we did a few weeks ago. We saw Eagle Eye, ate lunch at Five Guys , saw Fireproof, got Italian take-out and went home. Oh, yeah, we shopped at Target before the first movie and after lunch. We are just that wild and crazy.
3) I dislike wearing shoes and to some degree socks, but mostly shoes. I never wear shoes in my house. More often than not, I am barefoot.
4) I love cute socks. With cute goldfish. Or stripes. Or polka dots. I love to wear interesting socks. (I know. Weird. It is a contradiction to number 3.)
5) I watched soap operas all of my life through college. I have at one time or another watched close to 10 different soap operas. Since I graduated college, I haven't watched one. I don't miss them.
6) I met my husband and my best friends at boarding school. I am still very close to eight of my friends from those last two years of high school.
7) I do not pop my knuckles. I don't like it when other people try to pop my knuckles. It is disgusting.
So, while I try to find someone to tag for this meme, why don't y'all tell me something random about yourself?
I am trying to figure out who those 8 are: me, C & L, S, J, B&V?, my ex?, my roommate? WHO???
I only vaguely remember the soaps thing. I didn't realize you watched so much. I remember all the movies- over and over and over....

The eight are you, C&L, S, J, B&V, and your ex. I am as close to him as it gets...so I counted him. :)
I watched them religiously until ASMS. Then started watching them while I was working the desk in the residence halls in college. In college, I probably only watched two. That is probably why you don't remember it much.
Movies. I could watch them forever. :)

Random Things about me...
1. I decided I wanted to be an astronaut sometime around the 4th grade and only when I was in college realized that I really didn't like engineering and did not want to work for NASA. So I went into Childcare and have now worked for a bank for 11 years.
2. I would rather read than do just about anything including talk to people. I get tired of people. I almost never get tired of reading.
3. I love riding Dan's motorcycle.
4. My favorite food is Sweet Tea.
5. I answer to "Seesah" (named by the Boy) Or more recently "Geesas" (as prononced by Bitty).
6. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

I too am a lover of funky socks. I have a pair that say "Tough Girl" that are my favorite right now. I am new to the blogosphere, but I found you through a reply in WantNot. I figure anyone who loves her blog is someone I'd like to know more about.

I love Ballerina
Tutus.
