Another Great Giveaway People!

I got a sneak peek of this one at Becky's house the other day. It is awesome! Check out Everyday Becky for contest details!

Want to Win Something?

Then head over to my friend Becky's blog and enter to win this sweet book called, "Dance Me Daddy". It includes a CD with the author reading the story aloud, as well as the song "King of the World" by Point of Grace.

Something Silly and Fun

I just got this idea from Daiquiri's blog. Go to Google and type "(your name) needs", you'll be surprised by what you get! Apparently I need the following:

-Jennifer needs to play by the rules.
-Jennifer needs a smack daddy (umm, had to look this one up on urban dictionary.com).
-Jennifer needs to give birth in the next week!
-Jen needs a muzzle.
-Jennifer needs a shave.

Ta da!
Have fun!

I've Been Tagged!

Sarah at Strandfam tagged me! Here goes...

1. I have short, stubby thumbs. What does this mean for me? I find it difficult to shuffle cards, play video games and I will never win a thumb war.

2. I cannot whistle. Hard as I try, it is just not going to happen for me. My husband is convinced that I should be able to whistle since I am a speech therapist. Hmmm, does this call my professional competence into question? Good thing I don't need to teach kids how to whistle!

3. I am a mirror talker like Amber. I have practice conversations in the mirror that I never have with anyone in real life because I'm too chicken.

4. I must straighten the covers on my bed before I can get in and go to sleep. They have to be perfectly even. Unless I'm too tired to care and then I don't even bother.

5. I can't count the number of times I have seen The Sound of Music. I love that movie and I can sing a rousing rendition of "My Favorite Things" (very loud and I suspect off-key on the chorus).

**Okay, now I have to come up with two new ones since the last 5 were copied from my last tag post (with a few minor revisions)!

I just realized that the last time I was tagged it was by a Sarah! You crazy girls!

6. I am a food separatist. I have rules. Certain foods cannot touch other foods on my plate but other foods can. Don't ask me to explain it, I just know.

7. I like the smell of books. As a kid I would open my new text books and smell them first. Is that as creepy as the kid in class who eats paste? There was always one of those kids.

So the big question is, am I quirky or just weird? Quirky sounds cuter. Please say quirky.

Here are all the lucky folks that I'm going to tag next...
