I've been tagged a few times this last month, so as not to disappoint the fans... Or just so I have something to post, I'll do a couple of them. Feel free to skip through. It's not that exciting!
Tag #1
This first one was a tag by one of my favorite friends Katie Glaz (that's what we call you Kate, no ier). Here you go...
Joys: I love coming home from work. There's nothing better than being home after being gone all day. I love running. I love the way I feel after I run. It makes me so content. I love being with my husband. I'm totally happy with anything as long as my husband is there with me
Fears: I'm terrified of being home alone all night long. I can't handle it. I "sleep" with the TV on and it does not work well. I'm scared that I will never want to have kids. I fear that I'll just have them to have them, but not find the joy in it.
Obsessions: I didn't think I had any obsessions, until I asked Ryan. Here's what he came up with... I'm obsessed with reality TV-I'll put TV in general. I definitely have our shows for the week lined up and ready to go on the DVR. I'm also obsessed with sweets. I love sugar. I can't get enough of it. I'm trying to be better.
Collections: I used to have a ton of collections, earrings, Zack Morris and Jonathan Taylor Thomas pics, NSYNC stuff, even DVDs. That has all died down. I don't really collect much of anything anymore.
Surprising Facts: I recently just got obsessed with playing Tetris again. It's a little handheld Tetris. It lays around the house whenever I get a free moment, I love to play it. Ryan just got the high score that I don't think I will ever beat. Also, I try to get as many people into The Office as possible. I loaned our DVD seasons to some co-workers and they are hooked. I love it. I figure that most people that read this already know me pretty well- I don't think I can surprise you with much.
Tag #2
This next tag was from a long lost friend, and an amazing former roommate- Alison Warner. Thanks for thinking of me Ali-
Seven Things
Seven Things I can Do:
1. I can make a mean Orange Julius and a mean Chocolate Chip Cookie.
2. I have a pretty fast ten key. Too much register time.
3. I can memorize songs pretty quickly.
4. Ryan wanted me to write that I can run an entire Wal-Mart by myself, but that's not true. I couldn't run it without my associates. I can definitely take charge of an entire Wal-Mart all by myself.
5. I can keep a consistent journal. I love writing in my journal and reading through my old ones.
6. I can interact with anyone at anytime while I'm at work. It's like I have a different persona while I'm there.
7. I can watch the movie Center Stage over and over again without getting bored.
Seven Things I Cannot Do:
1. I cannot blog. I know that I am blogging now, but I have the hardest time doing it. It always puts me in a bad mood and I just don't like to do it. I can't blog.
2. I can't sit still when I'm at work. If I'm there, I have to be doing something. Sitting in the office drives me insane.
3. I can't tell the Gosselin sextuplet girls apart- from the show John & Kate Plus 8 -no matter how hard I try.
4. I can't read a book without feeling guilty that I should be reading my Scriptures instead.
5. I can't be super outgoing when I first meet someone. It takes me awhile to come out of my shell. If I am more talkative at first, I'm forcing it.
6. I can't retell a story or explain a conversation I had. It's always jumbled and I always forget what was said by the other person. I know in my head what happened, but I can't put it into words.
7. I can't discipline someone at work without feeling guilty or second guessing my decision (unless it's over attendance.)
Seven Things that attracted me to my husband:
1. He's one of the funniest people I have ever met. He has made me laugh since the day I met him.
2. He has an amazing testimony of the Gospel. His knowledge and faith is so inspiring.
3. He laughs at me. This is a big deal. I have a hard time with people if they don't find me funny. I love it when Ryan legitimately thinks I said something funny.
4. He is unbelievably motivated. He will do anything and everything to be the best he can be.
5. How well we get along. We have never fought and we just understand and love being around each other
6. How well he can explain and teach me anything. I'm so impressed by his knowledge and how well he retains it. I can ask him about anything and he will explain it in a way that I can understand.
7. He is so sweet. He always wants me to be happy. He's such an amazing guy, I need more than seven things to describe him.
Seven Things I most often Say:
1. "Whatever"- I say this after anyone makes any sort of sarcastic comment. I didn't even realize I said it so much until my Store Manager started doing it to make fun of me.
2. "Thanks for Playing"- This is my favorite saying ever. It's usually said after someone does something they shouldn't do or shouldn't have done. It's hilarious, it gets laughs every time.
3. "Totally"- I throw this in the middle of sentences way too often
4. "Ew"- used in the same context as whatever
5. "Och"- long story, but it means OK.
6. "I hate my job"- I say this way too often-it makes me feel a little guilty, but then something happens to justify it.
7.It's not really a saying, but Ryan and I shorten any word and add an "s" on the end, example- dins (dinner), breaks (breakfast), etc.
Seven celebrity admirations:
*As a side note, this one was my least favorite. I don't think I admire any of these celebrities. I could only think of people that I would be interested to watch if they were on a talk show.
1. Justin Timberlake- I don't admire him and I don't really love him, but he'll always have a special spot in my heart
2. Barack Obama- I'm excited for his presidency and for what it means for our country
3. Julianne Hough- I will always vote for her on Dancing with the Stars
4. Bob Harper- He is so sweet on The Biggest Loser, I always love Bob's team, except this year. I want them all to go home
5. Any star on The Office, except Meredith
6. I think that #5 makes up for #6
7. My mom- she's an author and other people have put authors. She may not be as famous, but I think she is in her own right. Besides, this celebrity section is lame.
Seven favorite foods:
1. Cafe Rio Salads
2. Candy Necklaces (not a food, but it can be)
3. Cereal (Lucky Charms)
4. Cheese
5. Pizza
6. Plain old salad with ranch, or caesar
7. Ryan's Guacamole
Seven friends I tag:
1. Tiff
2. Diane
3. Rachel
4. Megan
5. Katie
6. Swa
7. Amy

Oh my gosh. I loved this post! You crack me up! I always remember how much I loved it when you would say Thanks for Playing! I find myself saying it sometimes and it always makes me think of you!
Gosh I had so many comments I wanted to make while I read your post - but I just forgot them all. I didn't really enjoy the celebrity section either. It's hard to admire people that get paid to be someone else...although your mom was a good one to put - and having read one of her books, I can honestly say that I admire her and think she is a celebrity!! haha
So I totally miss you, and I am glad that you are so happy. You are Ryan are ridiculously cute. And I think you blog quite well!
If I remember my other comments, I'll add them! Otherwise, just know I love ya!!!
Ha ha! Thanks for playing...ahhh, memories. I agree with you and Alison about the celebrity part - I don't admire any either, but I just did it because of the tag. Anyway, keep on blogging - I like keeping in touch!
I know you don't enjoy bloggin so much, so I am always excited when I find a new post. This one was great - very informative and fun to read. I love you SO much and am very thankful you married my son!
You forgot to put "Hi Friend!" That one always reminds me of you. And remember our old saying "about it"? I was thinking about Richies song the other day and was missing the good old days.
Well, Schuyler, I'm glad you answered these tags, because I've never met you. And you've never met me! Wayne and Ryan are cousins and I followed your link from Rachel's site. Maybe we can get to know each other better through blogging so that someday when we actually make a Whitaker reunion (aren't they planning one for next summer?) we won't be total strangers!
