I Wanna Talk About Me !

I wanna talk about me, I wanna talk about i
Wanna talk about number 1 oh my, me, my,
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.
I like talkin about you, you, you, you usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me! (me, me, me,) I wanna talk about me-e-e. (me, me, me)

That song started going through my head when Abster tagged me to write 10 random things about myself. So, just to be "silly" (as I often am) I'm going to breakdown my randomness, Toby Keith style!

What I Think
1. I remind myself of "Kelly". Jorg and I have been watching The Office a ton. We discovered it back in December and have now seen every episode (thanks to the fact that we don't have T.V. in our new place and we do have Netflix. I love Netflix - so does Kelly). Kelly is a TOTAL ditz. I can't believe how many times I've heard her say things that I say myself. Last night I heard her say, "I told Ryan (blah blah blah), but in my HEAD, I was like (blah blah blah)." I use the "in my head" phrase all the time. Or there's the episode about how some people in the office have a bet on how many times Kelly will say "awesome" in one conversation. Just the night before I watched that one, I was at the Relief Society Birthday dinner and realized I was saying "awesome" too much and made a mental note to add new adjectives to my vocabulary. And sadly, there are other examples that I won't list.

What I Like
2. One of my favorite things is going out to lunch (with friends or family). I really don't care what the food is. As long as I can sit down and talk, talk, talk with a good friend (I also like to talk...and listen) and I don't have to clean up after!
3. I like The Little House on the Prairie.I've read all of the books.
I watched the T.V. show when I was little - It was on right before "The Flinstones". Mary was so pretty and Laura had the most fun adventures.
I also enjoyed it in college - I woke up 20 minutes early so I could watch the reruns before class.
I realized I wanted to marry me someone with character, brains, and brawn like Charles Ingalls. And I did!
4. I like Jorg.

What I Know
5. This life is short. It's so easy for me to get distracted from the important things. It's time for me to "choose the better part", and refocus with this goal each day.
6. "A smart [woman] learns from [her] mistakes. A wise [woman] learns from the mistakes of others." This is true.

What I Want
7. A body with less curves (My Hips Don't Lie!). I wanna feel good in my skin. I know what I need to do to get there...
8. I want my house walls painted with pretty colors! That will be fun.
(But truly, I have everything I ever really wanted in Jorg, Rebecca, and our future children.)

What I See
9. I've been getting back into novel reading. I slowed down for a while because I couldn't read while pregnant (book images were too vivid and I had weird dreams. It drove me nuts.) Then after Rebecca came, I was usually too tired when any free time presented itself. But now that I get more sleep at night, it's reading time! I've been loving anything by Shannon Hale,
Also, The Icing on the Cake. It's a cheesy mormon novel with only a hint of cheese. The main character is hilarious. LOVED this book),
I just started, Life of Pi.
And I, of course, read the "vampire novels". Twilight and New Moon were good. I pretended Jorg was a vampire. It was great. But Eclipse was too maddening to be enjoyed! I will read the fourth when it comes out, hoping that Bella will present herself with more redeemable qualities!

10. I see people's blogs! I am obsessed with checking my Google Reader to see what's new. This is one of the time suckers I want to cut back on. I do, do, do love seeing/reading about what's going on in people's lives! Keep the updates coming :) I'll just limit my "checking" time to , say...three times per day. As opposed to every time I walk past my computer.

Speaking of updates, if you are reading this, you have a blog, and you haven't already been tagged,
I TAG YOU!
NO excuses. You know who you are and I had BETTER see this on your blog. Or I will haunt you. For real. And do it Toby Keith style. Just for me?!? Pretty please with a cherry on top (that's a "Kelly phrase").

P.S. This is a long and self-absorbed post...so...REally, thanks for reading!

I'll read about you anytime! Actually, what I think about you is that--you are ideal!
I remember those Little House days...you darling girl!
fyi--I've read Life of Pi, which I thought was intriguing but when I got to the end of the book, I was so mad that I threw it! Just a warning.
Love ya girl!!

You're hilarious, and as I read this now, for the second time! I feel guilty for not doing it. But I posted just on Monday so I'll feel like a loser if I post again so soon... ah, what a tough life...

Dude NO FAIR. I've never been tagged just for reading a blog post... usually it's by name... gah. I didn't know these things were contagious... hehehe. Can I write a blog post about how awesome you are instead, cuz? I think it'd have more substance, hehe.

Also, I'm impressed that you use Google Reader. No wonder you're one of the few to acknowledge my sporadic blog posts! (makes me wonder if Cassi doesn't use a reader too...) In any case... you rock! I love you cuz!
