All About Me!

I've been tagged! My first tag, I feel like such a blogger.
Frogs Mom at 4 Green & Speckled Frogs tagged me last week for the six things you might not know or want to know about me, but I’m gonna tell you anyway. meme. So here goes...
Pattern Recognition. I notice random and useless patterns. For instance, each of my siblings and I married someone with the same birth-order. My sister and her husband are both the oldest. My brother and his wife both #2's. David and I are fabulous thirds. My younger brother and his wife both the youngest of 4. How crazy is that! Now if I could only start to recognize patterns that are useful...
My blood type is B pos. There are so many reasons why this is important to me. First of my profession. Or former profession. Is it still a profession if I don't go to work any more? Well I worked for 3 1/2 years in a laboratory where blood typing is very important. Also I love to remind myself that I'm "B Positive." It has become my mantra.
I love all things red (my husband came up with this one). I have a red KitchenAide mixer, I have red pots and pans, I wore shoes with red on my wedding day. Red red red. My maiden name is even Allred, which I had nothing to do with and perhaps that is where it all began. If it's red, I probably need it.
I have a thing for shoes. My husband says this is a woman thing. But I disagree. My sister has a thing for bags. My mom is with me on the shoe thing. I have a good friend that has a thing for anything animal print. Ruth has a pink thing, William a serious hat thing. We all have a thing. Mine is shoes.
Hot Tamales and Popcorn. The only way I can eat popcorn. When I first told my mil about this she had visions of actual tamales so it sounded a litte off. I quickly remideed this and introduced her and now when ever we watch movies together it's hot tamales and popcorn. The perfect combination of a little salty and sweet yet spice cinnamon. A perfect match every time!
I have a motto. When my brothers and sister and I were all little my mom decided to give us each a motto. We had to memorize it and often would have to recite it on demand. Especially when we were being less than obedient. My motto is "I may be small, but my smile is bright. I'll always stand for truth and right." I'm glad I have a motto. It makes me feel special and reminds me that I have talents to share. So I think my kids need motto's. Can you work on that mom??So it's your turn SuSu, Amy, Brittani, Jenna, Erin, Maggie, Lauren! Have fun and I can't wait!
