My friend Jen has tagged me to write six facts/habits about myself and then tag six other people. It's kind of hard for me to think of six interesting things about myself that are current. (I've traveled the world and done many interesting things but that was all many years ago!)

But here I go:

1-I am a recovering country music addict. I listened to country music pretty much exclusively during college but now it kind of makes me crazy. I can't stand the annoying twang and heartfelt ballads about trucks.

2-I love to sing. I used to sing all the time but then got caught up in my mommy life and my singing moments were pretty much limited to hymns in church on Sunday. But in the past year I have kind of rekindled my joy of singing just a little bit. I volunteered to sing a solo in church (I believe that every so often you need to do something that scares you to death!), I've done several duets with a friend of mine (including singing at the funeral for a person I had never met), and I sing at home with my kids a lot more than I used to.

3-I am addicted to checking my email. I think I come down to my computer and check my email no fewer than ten times a day. It started last year when email was pretty much the only communication I had with my husband. But even now that he is back I still obsessively check my email throughout the day.

4-I love to cook. I love trying new recipes or experimenting with familiar ones. I don't like using ready made processed foods and mixes--I like to do things from scratch. I almost never use "cream of ______" soup in anything. Recently I have been trying to prepare more healthy foods and have been on a campaign to cut out high fructose corn syrup and MSG from our diet. I am much more inclined to use natural and organic foods these days. Thank goodness there is now a Good Earth store in my town!

5-I like to read but don't generally read novels. I like self-help books (I tend to need a lot of help!) and books about health. I faithfully read the news every morning (including the obituaries) and enjoy reading magazines.

6-I like to watch reruns of my favorite TV shows. I think I've seen every episode of Friends, Seinfeld and Scrubs. (But now that I think about it, I probably just watch these shows over and over because I don't have cable!)
