So I was tagged to write 8 interesting things about myself; however, as I thought about it, I had way more than 8 I wanted to include, so I thought I would do 50. Not that I am super INTERESTING, but I do realize I have many funny quirks and the more I list the quirkier I find I am. So here goes.
1. I love Reality TV....American Idol, America's Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, the Bachelor, etc.
2. I have become accustomed to having crickets in my house, and as much as I hate finding them and dealing with them, I find myself talking to them and feeling bad when I kill them.
3. I love cleaning the kitchen and putting all the dishes into the dishwasher, but hate unloading it....so the dishes often will remain clean in the dishwasher until I pull them out to use them again.
4. I have an obsession of popping zits and peeling off sunburned skin (Chip hates it when I try to pop his, and I haven't had any sunburns to peel this summer, but I am fascinated by peeling others sunburned skin off --- especially when I get the BIG flakes that keep on peeling)
5. I love doing makeup, but hate doing my hair.
6. I have gotten into designing ballroom dresses....even though I don't dance anymore...so Kimmy will have lots of new designs to choose from.
7. I have gotten into eating food that is included in the PH Miracle ---- and love all the avocados I get to eat .
8. I like having a french manicure, but hate actually getting it done and all the stuff that gets trapped underneath them.
9. I have started drinking a ton of WATER each day, but have to put lemon and lime slices into it (lucky for me they are on sale at the grocery store)
10. It takes me hours to find everything at the grocery store, even when I have a list, and yet I prefer cooking to going out to eat -- although now I don't have a lot time for this.
11. I used to go to bed each night without washing my face..... but now if I don't use my Mac towelettes and follow my 20 minute routine, I can't fall asleep.
12. I often come up with my OWN WORDS and invent my own little phrases (of which Chip loves to make fun of)
13. I have a big closet, and yet I always just DROP my clothes on the floor on my side of the bed....Sorry Chip. (It drives him bonkers)
14. I love to sing at the top of my lungs while driving in my car.....and the great part is I think to myself I sound as good as the singer.
15. I love the Harry Potter books, but I don't care for the movies.
16. Fall weather in Utah is my very favorite season - the changing leaves, crisp cold air, back to school, and football season
17. I can always incorporate treats into my YW lesson somehow, and almost always have an object lesson each week (I love my calling as Mia Maid Advisor)
18. I secretly always wished I was of a different ETHNIC background, as I always wanted the beautiful olive tan skin.
19. I have started doing Hip Hop Abs and look forward each day to my workouts and cool dance moves I am picking up.
20. I am actually really sad not to be returning to BYU this fall for more school and to reunite with all of our friends (as if 7 years weren't enough). I am really going to miss it.
21. I am TERRIFIED of snakes.
22. I can go to the same restaurants over and over again. Out here in Charlotte it is Panera; back in Utah it is Costa Vida. I never get sick of the food there.
23. I am always thinking of new businesses I could start or ways I could make more money doing things I enjoy more than just accounting stuff.
24. I love icecream, and no matter how healthy I can be, I could never cut ice cream all the way out of my diet.
25. I love fruits and veggies, and now eat spinach salad at least once a day from Harris Teeters, the "POSH" grocery store out here that is like a restaurant.
26. I like doing laundry, but hate ironing and putting the clothes away.
27. I enjoy decorating the house, and yet am so picky I seem to have so many ideas I talk about doing, and then can't choose which one I want to use and so it takes a long time before I do anything.
28. I have come to love cooking, except when I have to use chicken. I hate touching raw chicken at all cuz it just grosses me out.
29. I have an ice machine at work that produces the little cubed kind you get at many restaurants, which is my favorite thing to munch on ---- however, I learned chewing on ice all the time is actually a form of a disease called pica. (Could be worse) :)
30. I love all sports, especially basketball and tennis. This past year I was ranked 211 in the NCAA tournament challenge out of millions of people who put a bracket together.....it all went downhill for me when NC lost. Still, it was pretty cool. (I was 99.8% accurate up until then)
31. I accidentally mistook the bishop for Chip and was rubbing his back and cuddling up to him from behind until I saw Chip sitting in a chair across the room and became totally mortified about what I had done (will never live this down)
32. I love North Carolina and can't imagine living anywhere else right now, and yet every once in awhile I still get homesick for good ole Provo and my Utah friends.
33. I watch E news and am always keeping up to date with what is going on in Hollywood, and although I shouldn't care, I find myself getting riled up about certain things.
34. I finished a master's degree in accounting, and yet would love to go back to beauty school.
35. I love having my hair brushed and played with, and used to trick the kids I babysat into having a contest to see who could brush it the best.
36. When I go to the movies, no matter how full I am I always want to get popcorn --- I love the smell and the salty buttery flavor it is, and it helps me stay awake throughout the movie.
37. Whenever Chip and I go to restaurants, I always have to ask him what I should get for my meal because I can't choose on my own!
38. I seem to get into a dance mode whenever I vacuum --- so it takes a lot longer to get the job done.
39. I hate shaving, but love the smooth feel of shaved legs in my sheets.
40. No matter how hot it is, I always have to have a blanket when watching TV and falling asleep.
41. About once a month I get into a mode where I start to compose my own piano piece, but I always only end up getting the intro done before I get stuck :(
42. I love dark rooms and watching tv in the dark, but am still sometimes scared of the dark.
43. Overcast days always seem to put me in a GOOD mood and give me energy (go figure!)
44. When I discover a new song I like, I can listen to it over and over on repeat without ever getting sick of it
45. I have a problem that when I go shopping, if I find something I like, I can't choose which color to get so I have to get the same shirt in all the colors. (Trying to change this)
46. I have the greatest family and also in-laws.... right now Chip and I are arguing over where to spend Christmas....but i want to spend it with his family, and he wants to go to mine (guess it is good we love each others family so much)
47. My dream vacation is to go to Italy...maybe someday!
48. I fall asleep in every movie I watch - both in the theatre and at home.
49. I love rollercoasters, broadway plays, and sushi.
50. Hot dogs and strawberry sundaes at costco are simply DELICIOUS!!!!

Hey Steph! It sounds like you are having so much fun there in North Carolina...you house is so cute. I am jealous you have your own house. I am also jealous you have a Panera there...it was my favorite when I lived on the east coast! They need to build one in Utah.
Concerning #46: I was so happy that Chip wants to come to our family for Christmas, until Dad reminded me he probably just wants to ski!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it's obvious that you are interested in warmth!
I have to laugh at those, especially when I have been present when you have done some of those things. Like singing in the car, or doing your hair while you do your makeup. I thought you were just kidding when you said you had fifty, but I should have known!!
Hey! It's your new favorite friend! I gotta tell you, you absolutely cracked me up. And I love the things that you admitted too:) Oh boy...I sure love it!
I am glad that I tagged you. I knew you would have tons of good stuff to tell. I can relate to a lot of your randomness. I love to pop zits too. I don't peel of sunburns but I like to peel of Halles cradle cap. I always have a blanket on me too. I guess it must be because we are related!
Stephers, I thought one of your stephanieisms would be how you talk in your sleep...?!! You are a funny funny girl and we miss you but we will hopefully see you soon enough!
Hey Steph cool Blog, it made me laugh. So why don't you check mine out eh. rosey-frank.blogspot.com
