I have been tagged

My friend Marie "tagged" me a couple of weeks ago. This means that I have to think of 6 things about me and post them on our family blog. I have been trying for days now to think of these things. It is so very hard. I could easily think of 10 things about Mike or my girls. But me? So, I have to admit I cheated a little bit. I had to ask Mike for some help. I hope that's ok. Here goes.

1. I have a new hobby. I like to think that I have always been into fitness and staying in shape. So, my exercise routine usually consisted of weights, the eliptical machine, and step aerobics-all done in my basement. Well, I have discovered a new way of working out. Running. I absolutely love it. I got an IPOD for Christmas and I really enjoy going to the gym and running. I just a beginner and probably slow compared to long time runners but, I love the high I get. It is MY time and I love getting out of the house.
I can't wait to be able to run outside in the fresh air. Spring cannot come soon enough!

2. I love to cook and bake. And I wish I had more time and energy to do it more often!! My favorite channel on tv is the food network. I love to try new recipes. Lately my new thing is making recipes low fat. I am so lucky to have a husband and kids who will try anything! My dream is to someday have a huge gourmet kitchen to do all my cooking and baking.

3. I recently joined a book club and I couldn't be happier. I love to read. Mostly fiction books. I love to escape in a book. So, this book club is the greatest thing ever! I get to read a book and actually discuss it with a group of women. And of course, food, and wine are usually involved!!



4. Since the writers strike, and none of my favorites are on, I have gotten a little obsessed with "The Biggest Loser" tv show. Before this show, I never understood how people could become so into reality tv. But, that is me now!! I feel like I know these people. And I swear I saw a couple at Target the other day. Crazy I know!!

5. I love being a stay at home mom!! It is so rewarding hanging out and having fun with my girls!! Our favorite things to do together are going to the pool, playing babies, and playing kitchen. I am truly blessed to be able to spend everyday with them.

6. My absolute most relaxing and favorite past time is bathing. I could take a 3 hour bath every night. That is if my skin would let me. If I take to many baths in the winter time, my skin dries out. I love my bubbles and bath salts. And sometimes, I even light candles. Reading a book or a magazine in the tub is the greatest feeling ever!

So, that's me. Nothing too exciting. Hope I didn't bore you too much! Like I said, this was very hard to do! Know I wish I knew someone else with a blog to "tag"!
