Hallween Poem

Trick or Treat,
Smell my feet,
Give me something good to eat.
If you don't,
I don't care.
I'll pull down your underwear!

Ha ha! Does anyone else remember that poem? So silly.
I'm glad I'm so grown up and mature now. =)

Slacker

I have had a crazy month. Um, is it really the 27th already?? There are many recent happenings that I would like to blog about - Disneyland, a visit home with my sister and nephew...but I am waiting to get pictures from others because, well, I am a slacker and do not take very many pictures myself - but I am getting better! And that's what matters, right? So anyway, I will blog about those cool things as soon as I can. But in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the following...

Fun and Politics

I like videos. Spencer is great.

Tag - O - Rama!!

Ok, so I have been tagged two more times, which means more information about ME! I know what your thinking..."what did I do to deserve this?" I guess you were really good in your former life - way to go. Hee hee. Seriously, I hope this doesn't bore you to death, but I like reading other people's tags, so I'm just going to go on thinking that everyone else feels the same way =).

Quirk-tacular!

Laura tagged me!!
Here are the rules:
Link the Person who Tagged you.
Mention rules on your blog.
Tell about 6 quirks of yours.
Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know.

Amanda's Quirks

#1. I have a foot aversion. I do not like feet. If a pair of feet have socks on, that's better, but still - no touchy. This rule applies to all feet, except Spencer's. Although, I'm sure that will change one of these days.

#2. I do not like awkward silences on the phone, I'm not fond of them in person either, but it is magnified on the phone. To compensate for this, I feel like I have to dominate the phone converstaion to ensure there are no akward silences, which often makes it more akward because then I don't let the person I am speaking to get a word in. This mostly happens to people I don't know very well, and I usually end up feeling like an idiot afterwards

#3. Sometimes I get silly when it's late and I'm tired - you know, laughy and giggly - that's fun. But more often I turn into what Dave affectionately refers to as "The Witchgoblin." I get in a sersiously bad mood, and am mean and snippy. It is even worse if I am awakened in the middle of the night, or too early in the morning. I can't help it, I am very protective of my sleep.

#4. I don't know if this is quirky...it's more like a guilty pleasure confession...I really like that reality show on MTV called "The Hills." I know, it's ridiculous, and far from reality, but I like it and watch it every week. Hee Hee!

#5. No matter how early I get up, I am always at least 5 minutes late to church. I have a hard time being punctual in general...but always church. Kinda sad.

#6. I HATE cleaning the bathtub, but really don't mind cleaning the toilet. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I will TAG Lisa A, Charlynne E, Stacy H, Lucia R, Delayne S, and Wendy K. You gals are "IT!"
