I have been tagged...

Viv at "life with Kerri" tagged me. I have to list 7 things that make me quirky or 7 quirks I have!

Here it goes..

1. I have a male inherited blood disease, affected female carrier of the disease Hemophilia.
2. Have one pupil larger than the other, freaks Doctors out!
3. Was the first girl in 3 generations of men on my Father's side of the family, to say I was spoiled, would be an understatement!!
4. I love pouring salt on everything, thank goodness I don't have high blood pressure!!
5. Have to sleep with ear plugs in, has to be completely silent, I do not sleep well when Superman works nights, I can't wear my plugs!!
6. Can't swim a stroke, sink like a stone. Parents enrolled me in lesson after lesson...
7. Can't carry a tune, even if it had a handle!! I think I can sing!! I sing to the radio, know every song, my kids beg me not too, LOL. This will be embarrassing for them when I car pool or for their sleepovers, wink...

1. I have to bathe before going to bed, have to cleanse my face to get the makeup off. I just don't sleep well if I can't climb into the bathtub.

2. I have to make my bed as soon as I get out of it. The pillows have to be arranged in a certain way, the corners have to have hospital corners. If hubby makes it , I will do it over, I know , can you say "Crazy".

3. When I buy something new to wear sometimes it will sit for days, weeks, hanging on the hanger. I am saving it to wear when I go out,I am that way with anything new!! I am saving it, for what I don't know. As a stay at home Mom I don't really go out too much, I'm so lame.

4. I dislike feet and noses. If my girls get a yucky nose with their colds and I have to wipe them I gag almost to the point of being sick.

5. I have never had a hair do that I have actually liked, I need a makeover.

6. I am a bit of an introvert, I like to avoid crowds and a lot people where I have to be in a big social gathering. I feel so shy and gravitiate to a corner. My Hubby is very social , this helps me tremendously, I would just as soon stay at home. He drags me out and when I get out there I usually enjoy myself.

7. I have a male inherited blood disease. In order to give me the disease and just not be a female carrier both my parents would have to give me defective genes, now that's weird.

I now tag these "lucky 7" ladies.

1. Sen.

2. Sam

3. Kris

4. Glinda.

5. Rony.

6. Shelly.

7. Kimberley.

I'm it!!

I have been tagged by Senja for the middle name tag.
Rules are you have to list one fact relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name.
J- I jumped or should say bungeed off the Ontario place tower when I was 29 yrs. It was exhilarating .
A- Adoption, you all know that I have two adopted girls from China, the love of my life. Knew from a young age this was the way I would be building my family.
N-Nights, worked nights(not what your thinking, not a lady of the night) for three years full time, my internal clock never got used to it.
E-electrical shock, received a bad electrical shock when I was 5, from a tea kettle when I was camping. I had wet feet and I unplugged tea kettle from socket and whack, I was jolted unconscious, yes, that what happened to me. There you have it.
If you have not been tagged, your it, what, I'm lazy!!!
Give it a try , it's fun.

Nickname Meme

Jennifer 's nicknames are Jenny Wren,
her Grandma gave her that one.
Her other one is Princess Puddin' Pop,
I call her this. My Dad calls me Princess
and Puddin' Pop, they were my favourite
treat, I think Bill Crosby used to endorse them
because they were made by Jello, did I
age myself big time?
Princess Puddin' Pop

This is Miss Jilly-bean, her Jie-jie gave her

this nickname one morning during breakfast.

We all thought it was cute so it stuck. Her other nickname

is Keebler, Mommy thinks she is as cute as the

little Keebler elves on the cookie commercial, it

seems like my life revolves around food doesn't it...

My little bean.

Thanks to The Seventh Diamond for this fun meme, funny how we spend so many agonizing hours coming up with the perfect name for our children then we call the something like Keebler or Puddin' Pop. Nicknames are so fun and really indicative of their little personalities.

My names growing up were Care bear, Princess and Scary Jane(nice one huh?).

Gadgets I love.

This is my curling iron-hot roller set, used to think it was a cool gadget when I had time to do my hair. Now it's shampoo, throw a towel on my head, blow dry if I have time. Don't hate cause I'm gorgeous!!
Oh I love this baby, my convection oven. Can't cook to save my butt, this stove helps me fake it. I can throw a whole meal and dessert in and cook all at once. A time saver , essential in this home if you have seen my 2year in action.
My kids FRS radios, they are great for the neighbourhood. They neighbours do not have to suffer my ear piercing screeches to the kids while they are in their treehouse. I give them the radios and I can signal to them when I need to get their attention. A win -win, they like their toy and I don't yell(much).
Everyone has one, right? We need one to make the nine hour trek to the cottage, either that or I jump from a 110 km van screaming down the 401. I sit quietly suffering through Curious George for the 100th time but Tim Hortons dull the senses and calms the urge to pull the doorhandle and drop and roll.

As you well know from my excellent blogging skills(stop laughing now), I am not a teckie, gadgets terrify me. My five year calms me down after trying to put on a DVD by patting me on the back and telling me "It's okay Mom, I can put the DVD in, it's easy." (smartie pants).
Thanks to all my blogie buddies who have helped me set up my site, your invaluable.

I'm it , I'm it.

I was tagged by The Seventh Diamond, here goes.



4 facts about me.

1. I have Hemophilia, a Male(yes,you read that correctly, not one of my famous typing errors)inherited disease. I am an affected female carrier of the disease, it is passed on by the Mother. My father also gave me a defective gene which gave me the disease(can you say FREAK). The chances of this happening are 1 in 1 million. My parents always said I was 1 in a million.

2. I am an only child(can you blame my parents??)They were scared to have another,ha ha!!

3. My parent's divorced when I was 19, still wish they were together. Tell myself to move on , my parents have.

4. I am not a person who likes "Bling". My Mom loves jewellery, sequins and anything shiny.Think she was a goose in her former life. I only wear my engagement ring and wedding band, that is all the sparkle I can manage, sorry Mom.



4 habits I have

1. I don't have any. No ,probably too many to write about. I drink too much COFFEE and COKE. Caffeine addicted.

2. Always can find me sweeping and washing floors, have a dog that sheds hair as soon as you look at him, drives me to insanity.

3. Constantly picking up after my kids, running behind them putting stuff away. I have to learn to relax and enjoy the mess, ya like that's going happen anytime soon, unless I take an extra happy pill.

4.Let my laundry pile up, never like putting it away after it's washed. Can you say, L-A-Z-Y. I eventually go downstairs to bring it up when I run out of my big girl cotton white es.



4 Things I discovered in the last 4 years.

1. Being a Mom isn't always easy.

2. Don't mess with a crabby, temperamental 2 year old, you'll lose.

3.Went through a period of depression with my little home from China, it was okay to admit this and get help.

4.. Family is everything, just lost the Matriarch of ours and I miss her so much it hurts. I can't believe I married to my hubby and have 2 beautiful girls, must of did something right!!



4 Things I want to try or do in the next 4 years.

1. Learn to type. Should have stop flirting with the certain boy in my typing class and paid more attention to the keys.

2.Go to the bathroom or mall by myself.

3. Go on a solo holiday with my hubby, sun, beach and bikini. Who am I kidding, that would be sun, beach , one piece and cover up!!

4.Go back to work when my girls are in school.



I would like to tag Lil' Bubble Queen, if she dares.
