Quirks

I got tagged by Kristina a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago, sorry. :(

7 quirks about me:

1. I cannot STAND scary/thriller movies. I've tried to see a couple with Jaron, but its been torture the entire time. I think I had my eyes closed for most of I am Legend (Will Smith), and yes, I realize that wasn't that scary of a movie. I'm just a weenie when it comes to that stuff... I think The Ring really did me in- just ask Jaron, I think he was a little surprised at how much it freaked me out.

2. The only foods I will not eat are bananas, olives and pickles. Over my lifetime, I have learned to at least tolerate other foods that I used to despise, except for these three- I just can't do it. And wouldn't you know, one of Bryn's favorite foods is bananas, and Makayla's is pickles. Of course.

**Side note: Thanks to Brigitte's LIFE changing message on nutrition at the Women's retreat, I have eaten mostly raw/organic foods and drank only water since Saturday. This is the first time I've changed my diet solely for my health, without really thinking about weight loss, and I'm LOVING it. But more on that later...

3. My favorite book series is the Mark of the Lion trilogy by Francine Rivers. Through a beautiful work of fiction, I found a faith in God I had never known, and still read it once every year or 2. I've probably read all three books at least 6 or 7 times. In fact, just writing this makes me want to go pick it up. Its SO good!!!

4. Despite the up's and down's of the show, I am a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan. I think I love it so much because I've watched it since the first episode- It was right after Makayla was born and Jaron was still in his rock band, and they practiced late on whatever night it was on (I think it started on Sunday nights). So, I just have special memories of holding my little newborn, watching this new show about some crazy, very unrealistic doctors. And its still a fun show, I don't care what you say. :)

5. I'm a night owl, almost to a fault. Its very hard for me to go to bed before midnight- I just feel like I can get more done at night. But, that means I'm a little grumpy in the mornings. When I had 5am reports in my Flight Attendant days, I felt very sorry for my crew and passengers. Luckily, most of them slept the whole flight. Well, everyone but the pilots of course. :) Now, I just have to keep my mouth closed early in the mornings so I don't snap at my hubbie and kids. Dora and SuperWhy have definitely saved us many a morning in the Pitts house. :)

6. If I had my way, I would live in Starbucks. I don't think I've had a drink there that I haven't liked. I try and be responsible and only go once a week (usually on a Sunday morning at 8:30, on the way to church), b/c, yes I realize the prices are ridiculously high and its really not that good for you. My fav is an iced grande soy chai tea latte. hmmmmmmmm....

7. My dream is to travel the world with my family. God willing, we will someday go to Africa (well, again for me), Italy, Greece, Ireland, France and hopefully many more places. Traveling abroad changed the way I thought about so many things and I can't wait for my girls to experience that.

Ok, I tag.... MEGAN!! I know you have a newborn, but maybe in a few months/years you'll enlighten us all with your little quirks. :) Love you all, have a wonderful Friday!!!

Okay, this post did two things for me. A) I want to start reading that Francine Rivers trilogy. I have the first one but just haven't ever read it. You are the second person that has said something to me about it this week so I think that means I need to go read it. and B) I want to go get one of those iced chai tea soy lattes now!!
