Tag, I'm "IT"

Sista Smiff tagged me to complete this meme. I'm not sure how or why she picked me, but I'm willing to take the opportunity to have somebody provide a blog topic to me...

Rules of the game: Quickly write 8 random facts/habits about myself. Then, tag eight more people to play.

1. Sista Smiff was talking about her acrylic nails and that she had to get rid of them for nursing school. I also have acrylic nails and have consistently had them for about six or seven years. I started getting them while I was waiting tables; my nail polish would chip and my brittle nails would break and peel. The acrylics are way more durable. However, I always have them very short and people often ask me if they are my real nails or not. I'm not a fan of having daggers off the ends of my fingers. My favorite nail color: OPI's "I'm Not Really a Waitress."
2. I looooove Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Mmmmm.... Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
3. However, I'm trying to lose a few pounds right now and I can't even remember when the last time I indulged in some Mac & Cheese. As a matter of fact, right now I have an unopened box of Samoa Girl Scout Cookies in the pantry. They've been there for months; normally those won't last longer than 24 hours around me. Dumb diet.
4. I always said that I wasn't really interested in getting married and/or having kids. But, then I met Dave... I am amazed at how simply finding the right person can completely change your mind about such a big decision. I think we would be great parents together...
5. My mom is in the process of selling the house where I grew up. The whole thing is very strange to me. We built and moved into the house when I was five years old. Where will my mom live? How will we have family barbeques in a backyard that isn't the one where my sister and I played hide and seek? My little brother was born when we lived in that house... I'll be honest: I am not a fan of her selling that house. But, life must go on, I guess.
6. I like to take naps. As a matter of fact, I'm feeling a bit sleepy right now. I plan on taking a nap at least five of seven days a week throughout this summer. *YAWN*
7. I am addicted to my Webkinz pet, Daisy.
8. In exactly two weeks, I will be on the beach in Mexico, cocktail in hand, feet in the sand. Life is beautiful.

I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you need a blog topic, feel free to take this one. I always enjoy learning random things about my blogging friends!

Seven Songs

Blogarita tagged me with a MEME. For those of you who have not been exposed to a meme, it is kind of like an infectious disease - once a blogger has been contaminated, they are required to pass it along to other bloggers. It is like the cousin of the chain letter.

This meme requires me to list seven songs that I am currently liking. They don't have to necessarily be new or current songs, and trust me, some of them won't be. So, here goes:

1. Look After You by The Fray (Actually, I'm loving anything by The Fray, but this is their most recent single.)
2. I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker by Sandi Thom (This song is so fun. Reminds me of my mom, being the hippie that she is!)
3. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac (This is one of my favorite all time songs and I've recently become more aware of all the music involving Stevie Nicks.)
4. Snow by Red Hot Chili Peppers (One of my favorite all-time bands.)
5. Downfall by Matchbox 20 (This has been in my top seven since I bought the CD however many years ago. This song proved to me that Matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas were truly unique and original musicians, in terms of lyrics and music writing.)
6. Grace Kelley by Mika (A fun song brought to life with clips from old movies.)
7. Bandwagoners by The Dears (New band that I've heard play on the college station in town. They aren't even listed on Rhapsody for a link!)

So there you have it and there you are. Now I get to pick on seven people that need to do the same meme on their blogs. I choose: Paula, Diana, Chris, Karen, Jennifer, Nikki, and Mindy. Have fun, girls! I don't know who the hell you are all going to tag after you're finished, though!
