7 Things.

I was tagged by TwiddleStix with Seven Random Facts! I've done this before, a few months ago, but it was fun so I'll do it again (:

Here are the rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog. (Check!)
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.



The Randoms:

1) I hate liver. I hate it. SO MUCH. Ewwww grosss SICK! Just the smell of it makes me gag. Gross but true.

2) I'm secretly getting discouraged with my Etsy store. I love the site, I love the sellers...but I hate the fact that I haven't sold anything in the past...who knows how long. I think I have interesting products, I always get compliments on them from other sellers and buyers, but hardly any sales! I'm not sure what's up with that. But yeah, secret frustration happening over here. I'm trying not to be discouraged, but the Glad Game is getting worn out.

3) I've always wanted to be a model. I'm not conceited, I don't think I'm amazing looking or that I'd make it big, but I love posing for pictures and getting "done up". I'd just love it if I could be a model. It's not a huge secret, everyone is always giving me a hard time about being so eager to have pictures taken. I'm not thinking "I look amazing today, someone should take a picture of me", I just think it's fun.

4) I'm so jealous of my sister. I know I have a lot in my life that is amazing, but she makes me so jealous. She's traveled, lived in Australia for a year, can move whenever she wants just because she feels like it, shops her butt off when she wants...I'm just jealous.

5) I was completely humiliated when I lost a tooth when I was 15. Who looses teeth that late?! It was so embarrassing!

6) I love family traditions. My family used to rent cabins at a lake during the summer and it made the best memories. I just love doing things similar every year. It's fun and it builds great memories. I hope I can continue that when we have kids.

7) I'm a very honest person. Something that really bugs me is when someone can't be honest back. It used to really get to me when boyfriends would break up with me for stupid reasons or lie about things. Hello! Just tell me! Yeah, it might make me mad for a little while, but I'd rather know the truth than wonder for months what I did wrong or what really happened. But it's not all about boys. Just in general, I would rather someone be completely honest with me, in a nice way, but still honest.

Ok, now to tag seven people (Seven?!):

I Heart Peonies
Snippet & Ink
Enjoy: {the blog}
a new one: Lucky Me!
Christy DeKoning
Paper Chick
Style Me Pretty

....now just to let all these bloggers know that I've tagged them!

Ok, so here's the thing. This post is a game. At the end of it, I'll tag several other bloggers and they'll have to do it too!!

First: Link the person that tagged you....ahem. Attention! Art4Friends tagged me!!

Then: List seven things about you.

Ok.

1) I'm the oldest of eight kids. Translated: I'm the guinea pig. Or was anyways...I hope they're not still doing tests on me! Oh crap, what if they are?!

Being the oldest of this many kids has it's ups and downs. I love having siblings that I can hang out with and have a good time with. They make life interesting, even if I don't see them enough. The youngest are twins, 4 years old now, so there's a huge age gap. But they're still super cute and fun (: The downs...well, I'm sure you can think of some...

2) I've had 16 jobs since I was 15. Some of them were overlapping, I think at one point I worked three jobs.

I think this is one of the reasons I want my Etsy store to work so badly! I don't really like working for someone else. It sucks. You always have them looking over your shoulder, assessing your work, telling you to improve when you know it already...it'd be so amazing to work for myself!

3) I knew I would marry the man I now call my husband since the first moment I saw him. Seriously. I know it sounds super sappy, but it's true. One of my friends had taken me to a group get-together and as soon as I saw him, I thought "I could marry him". And I did. A year later (:

Marriage is like wine. It gets better with age.

4) I have so many dreams for my life and what I want to be "when I grow up"...it's insane. I don't think I'll ever grow up because then I won't be able to finish my list!! My biggest one I think would have to be to write (and get it published!) a novel....ok, a novel series. Which brings me to number five.

5) I've been working on writing the same book for the past three years...who's seen that Family Guy episode where Stewie is mocking Brian for taking so long in writing his novel? (I'll see if I can find the clip). That's totally me. I have so many good ideas to write down, so many plots, characters, cities and escapes...but it's so hard for me to find the time to write!! I love it. Love it love it love it! But it takes so much time and it's hard to find any to begin with. Besides, Etsy and my crafts fills me up already. But I WILL get it published one of these days. It's a fantasy novel.

6) I'm eating hot hearts right now. My hubby and I gave each other our valentines gifts early. I got: hot hearts (YUM!), The Devil Wears Prada dvd, a hair magazine (I'm going to cut it all off!!) and a super sappy love note (: I'm so spoiled (:

7) I get pretty impatient with things that don't work. So when I stick to something, you know it's worth sticking to. Like Etsy and this blog. They're fun and rewarding...after you get it going. Getting things going is tough and tiring, but once they're on a roll...it's great to look back and see what you've accomplished!

Lastly: Tag seven people you want to blog this game and let them know!!
