Daisy Award...

So here is the story...

My BFF in college, Jessica (sixthdonbro.blogspot.com),

 has "honored" me with a made up award.  It's called the Daisy award and with it I get to entertain everyone with a random post about seven unusual/ strange/ unknown things about myself...you lucky dogs! 

Honestly, I had a really hard time with this.  I don't really know what makes me strange because to me I suppose it's just normal.  Also I spend so much time with the little, that I can't remember the last time that I thought just about myself and who I am aside from the coolest mom ever. 

Without further ado...

#1- I had boy short hair all the way until like 8th grade because my mother thought that if I grew it out my naturally curly hair would go away...it was mildly tragic/traumatic...especially the white girl fro that took place prior to it finally growing out. 

(That's right...if I'm going to show off the fro and the denim Mickey shirt, I'm throwing everyone else under the bus too...sorry.)

#2- I hate playing games.  I firmly believe that games hate me.  You should ask Nick about the window and force field fiasco or Chad Langstraat about Blockus or anytime he tricked me into playing Settlers of Catan.
I once threw a controller at someone because he said that I sucked at Dr. Mario.  I get WAY too frantic especially during games that require you to be fast like Catchphrase.  My "friend" in college thought this was very funny and challenged me to a high stakes game of Twister...I lost..because even twister hates me...which led to him getting to put eggs, yogurt, jam, ketchup and mustard in my hair.  There's photographic proof of this but I'll spare you and my dignity.

#3- I'm really bothered when Foreign actors trick me into believing that they are American because they have perfected the accent so well and vice versa.  Examples below:

#4- I knew Nick for a totally of four months when we got MARRIED.  Multiple people asked me if I was pregnant when I told them I was engaged and one thought that I was joking.

#5- I store treats in the microwave.  This stems from my childhood, I'm not sure why my mom did/does it, but to this day one of the first things I do when I visit my parents is check the microwave.

#6- I am SUPER uncoordinated.  If there is something to spill it will be spilled.  I even spilled water all down the front of me on Nick and I's first date.  If there is something to bump in to and knock over consider it done.  Also I have fallen up the stairs multiple times, down the stairs in the Smith building at BYUI surrounded by close to a bajillion people, and fallen multiple times outside of church (one time while wearing a wrist band that was supposed to improve balance...yeah, I'm that cool.)

#7- Even before I was a mom one of my favorite places in the whole world was/is the children's book section of Barnes and Noble.  Sitting on the floor reading the lastest Mo Willems book in the middle of B&N never fails to make me smile.  It's even better now with Sienna because having her with me makes me seem infinitely less weird now :)

I now choose to not pass the award on because...let's be honest...this is kind of a game and I hate games...so I win.
