Tagged again

A: Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves
B: At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names; then goes to their blogs, leaves them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged and invites them to read your blog.

Thanks MB. However, I only know about 4 people with blogs and one seldom uses it and the others you tagged.

1. I am a great procrastinator. It is one of the qualities that drives me crazy. I have all sorts of good intentions of doing things--as soon as I get around to it (I already have a round-2-it). I get distracted easily because there are so many things to do.

2. I like to try to be organized, I am constantly filing things or putting things away--even in my dreams I am sorting things. I dreamed there were a bunch of chests of drawers in my basement and I was sorting things and trying to decide which drawer they should go in. And yet, it seems like everything around me is disorganized.

3. I tend to have piles of things that I intend to file or organize--as soon as I get around to it. There is a pile in my bedroom, one in the kitchen, another in the dining room, one in the living room, several in my study. Then I wonder why I can't find what it is that I am looking for. (Are you noticing a pattern here?)

4. I love my children (and my grandchildren). I am most at peace when my children are around me. I don't even need to be doing anything with them, just having them here gives me peace. I miss them horribly when they are gone.

5. I am a worrier. I have been this way as long as I can remember. My husband gave me a book called "How to stop worrying and start living" shortly after we were married (33 years ago). Knowing that worrying doesn't help, doesn't stop a chronic worrier from worrying. It just adds guilt to the worrying. I worry about the state of the economy, about whether my children are happy, about money, about being disorganized, about siblings, about health issues, about whether I am living a good enough life (you know, if I'll make it to the celestial), if I am doing my church job good enough, if I have hurt someone's feelings, if I am doing my job good enough....etc...etc...etc. You know, they say if you knew how little other people think about you, you wouldn't worry about what they think of you.

6. I tend to laugh or giggle when I am nervous, when I am happy, when I don't know what to say. My husband says he likes to hear me laugh.

Winter--forever

It is supposed to be Spring—what is the deal with snow on the first day of May? On the news they said that the high today was in the mid 40’s. Last year on this date it was in the mid 80’s. They had 12 new inches of snow at Alta today. That makes a total of 704 inches for the year so far. They said it is the 3rd snowiest year. Earlier in the month they said it was the largest snow year in 12-14 years—and it has snowed several times since then. Logan paid $90,000 more on snow removal than last year. There were roads closed, many accidents, Park City schools closed and water pipes broke in Ogden. And this was all in April.
