Okay so I have been tagged by my dear friend Debra and also threatened that if I didn't do this she would log in and write some scary stuff about me so here is goes. I'm supposed to note six random/unknown things about myself and then tag others to do the same. I think I'll just post what I have and if anyone else wants to do this they can but no one is being tagged by me.
1. I am notorious for reading every diet/heath book out there. I know so many little facts that I love to share with everyone. I just have a bit of a problem applying these aspects into me life. I think I like food a bit too much!
2. I have a goal to one day go skinny dipping with my husband. Preferable in a pool where there is no chance of anyone see us.
3. I have quite a large collection of cookbooks. I love buying them and looking through the recipes but I hardly make any of them. I am a very picky eater and if I see something in a recipe that I don't like then I won't make it. I am much better at making items that I have tasted previously and like. I also love to hand my cookbooks off to my friends to find/try out recipes for me and then share with me!
4. I used to be a very shy little girl. My mom didn't know what to do with me. I just wouldn't talk to anyone. I bet that is hard to believe knowing me now. If you give me a chance I will talk your ear off!
5. I can' keep plants alive. I don't know what it is about me but I try and everything just dies. I used to live in an apartment that had a little yard. I loved to plant pretty flowers and every time they died. The only thing that stayed alive was Ivy! Like anyone can even kill Ivy! The funny thing about this is that I still have a goal to one day have a garden in my yard and I really think I can do it and have something grow from it.
6. I have a huge pet peeve about toilets. In my house the toilet must always be closed if no one is using the toilet. I think toilets are dirty and I hate to walk into a bathroom with the toilet lid open. I will always close the lid after I use the toilet at anyone's house and I have been known to ask my house guests to follow this rule while staying at my house.

Vote YES on Prop 8
This is a very important proposition to change the California constitution to only recognize marriage between a man and a woman. I don't know if many of you realize the importance of this proposition and the change it will have on our families and children if this does not pass. Here are some of the facts of how this will effect us.
1. Children in public schools will have to be taught that same-sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage.
2. Churches may be sued over their tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings open to the public.
3. Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father.
4. Religions that sponsor private schools with married student housing may be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if counter to church doctrine, or risk lawsuits over tax exemptions adn related benefits.
5. Ministers who proach against same-sex marriages may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines. A recent California court held that municipal employees may not say: "traditional marriage," or "family values" becuase, after the same-sex marrigae case, it is "hate speech".
6. It will cost you money. This change in the definition of marriage will brind a cascade of lawsuits, including some already lost (e.g., photographers cannot now refuse to photograph gay marriages, doctors cannot now refuse to perform aftificial insemination of gays even given other willing doctors).
When I think about what this could mean to me and the lives of my children I have to take a stand for what I feel is right. I hate to thunk that this wonderful country that we live in is going to take away my right to stand up for my beliefs and teach my children that marriage is ordained my God between and man and a woman. I hate to think of my sweet little boy going to school in a couple of years and being taught in Kindergarden about homosexuality and that I cannot stop it. I hate to think that I cannot speak about traditionl families or family values without the treat of hate speech.
Please find it in our heart to protect our little children and this world that we live it and vote Yes of Prop 8. If you have not registered to vote you still have time to let your voice be heard. Please register before Oct 20th.
