blog chain letter

so I'm not usually in to this kind of thing, but I guess this time I will play along, just for you Jen.

The Rules
1. Post 11 random things about myself. 

2. Answer the 11 questions my nominator asked me. 
3. Create 11 questions for my own nominees.

4. Nominate 11 different bloggers with fewer than 200 followers.

5. Tell them they have to play along.

11 Random things about myself

1. I was born in the car (parked in the hospital parking lot)

2. I stepped on a hot dog roaster with bare feet by a fire pit (on accident) and got a nice burn

3. I stepped on a snail with my bare feet and squished it (on purpose)

4. I’ve been to Hong Kong, Thailand and the Philippians

5. I like to be social and have found that having a child in half day kindergarten is completely limiting my social activities… can’t wait to have a half day kindergartener and a full day kid… ha ha

6. I’ve had two preemies (weighing less than 3 pounds each) and a full term baby in between

7. I’ve lived in California, Utah and Washington State

8. I don’t like doing things/going places for the first time because I don’t know what to expect… which leads me to number 9

9. I have a really hard time “going with the flow” I like everything planned out and want to know exactly what is going to happen when, where, and what I should bring.

10. I like to take pictures and often find myself planning activities around when there will be good lighting (and get frustrated when I can’t make that happen)

11. I majored in Math Education, but I am horrible at doing math in my head

11 questions from my nominator:

1. What is your favorite book? As a child it was From the Mixed up Files ofMrs Basil E Frankweiler, in High School it was To Kill A Mockingbird (because I could use it for any AP English question), and a more recent read I enjoyed – The Help.

2. What are your top three biggest pet peeves? Number one: when someone says they are going to do something and then they don’t. Number two: when kids get sick… it seems to usually happen at the worst times—like when you are on vacation. Number three: right now, whiny children.

3. What is your favorite type of music? I don’t really listen to music when I’m by myself… whatever Scott likes or kid songs when I’m with my kids.

4. What time of day were you born? In the night I think

5. What time of day were your kids born? Matthew – 1:55am, Cameron – 8:01 am, Brandon – 6:49 pm

6. What is your favorite lazy day activity? (By myself) – reading blogs (unless they tell you to do some blog chain letter and then you feel bad if you don’t participate)/pinterest/browsing the internet or playing with my camera/learning more about photography

7. What is your favorite season? (if you say winter, we are no longer friends).Guess I better not say winter—I would say any season where it is warm and not raining—which depending on where you live could sort of be any season.

8. What is your favorite movie genre? I like action movies that have an underlying romance in it—for example, The Bourne Series

9. If this was your last day on Earth, what would you do? Spend time with my family

10. What is your favorite type of cuisine? American Chinese?

11. How long did it take you to blog this? approx. 1 day 10 hours and 22 minutes
