Things you may not know about me?

Thanks to my sister Stephanie, I was tagged, even though I have done this before I thought REALLY hard about things that I love, that might be a little strange.

1. Okay, I have a small obsession with our garbage disposal, I often wonder how dirty is in there, so whenever I have boiled something for dinner or whatever. I LOVE to pour the hot boiling water down the disposal and turn it on, for some reason I think it is disinfecting it??
I also love to put ice in the disposal, I once read it sharpens the blades?? so occasionally I will fill up a cup of ice to pour it in the disposal.....

2. I don't really like having dinner, I would say 90% of the time, I make food for my family (Ben and the kids) and either not have anything or the majority of the time have cereal. For some reason I have been really turned off to dinner time meals.

3. I still love to chew ice, sadly it is an obsession, I will admit. If I were to go to the 7-11 or whatever and get a soda, I would fill it about 75% full of ice. Ben has lectured me over and over about not wasting my money on ice.

4. Some bad habits.....lets see, I usually am quite perfect...:)
maybe not cleaning the bathrooms as much as I think I should.
When I was pregnant I would drink a lot of soda, I have definitely cut a lot out, but that is a guilty pleasure (not diet soda, seriously who kids them selves, if your going to drink soda, its gotta be the real stuff) (exception for Stacy S and Jami H.;)

5.The grossest thing I have seen lately......um there is a lot to choose from but I would have to say, I kind of get grossed out when passengers take pillows from the a/c and snuggle their faces up to them. So they lean against the pillow against the side of the a/c........blaaaggghhh
NO THANKS----I will bring my own thank you....

6. Some jobs I have had
15-16 years old- West Jordan Care center (loved that job, learned so much about being grateful for my life)
17 years old-Jeans West at the Valley fair mall (learned gang signs;)
17 years old-Crosslands care center, learned the value of team work (I would work on one hall by my self a lot. It was hard to not be able to get to everyone, that needed things done for them)
18 years old- University of Utah Hospital, this was a great job, was able to see CRAZY things I would have never been able to ever see in my life. Was able to participate in medical research studies, learned the difference between real breast and fake ones (ask me sometime I will fill ya in)
worked there for 4 years, so glad I did.
22-31 Flight attendant, instructor, part time flight attendant.
-learned NEVER, EVER, EVER judge a book by its cover, there are so many weird people out there, but they all have a great story....
learned all my computer skills and public speaking skills.....the best job (other than being a mom) that you could ever have.....

I would love to tag...Leah, since she FINALLY created a blog, after her two favorite sister in laws bugged her to death. Julie she is my sister-in-law-in-crime;) AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SHARE, some neat things we didn't know....
