I was tagged by EllaJac from Aspiring to Simplicity, one of my new favorite blogs. I love these things and was secretly hoping to be tagged... haha! How sad ;) Anyway, here it is:
The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
4. If you're tagged, DO IT and pass on the tag
Six random things...
1. I have a strange and long standing desire to raise chickens. I remember asking my parents if I could have chickens in high school, and they said "no" with the excuse that I was going to leave for college in a couple years and didn't want to get stuck taking care of poultry. I guess that was probably a good decision on their part ;) Reading Aspiring to Simplicity has rekindled that desire once again, so I have chickens on the brain.
2. I have an obsessive personality. OK, I think that's a bit strong, but I have the tendency to get super excited about something for a while and think about it constantly. I don't think it's a very good trait.
3. I love to experiment with cooking. I rarely use a recipe for anything and enjoy "playing with my food." Sometimes I totally fail and make bad (or more often boring) food, but that's all part of the game... and I'm a really good loser so that's ok! ;) I have not, however, experimented with baking. I hear it's a lot more picky and I think if I tried to change something I'd screw it up. The most I've done is add peanut butter or chocolate chips to a recipe.
4. I cannot seem to get myself to read my Bible daily... I don't know what it's going to take to get me to do it!! I have had some really awesome experiences in the Word lately- feeling like it was really speaking to me- but still this does not get me to read every day. It's pathetic. I know I can do so much better.
5. I'm really cheap. I love to go shopping, especially for clothes, but have extremely low limits on the money I will spend on each item. Thank goodness for thrift stores, consignment shops, and clearance racks!!
6. I loooove antique kitchen stuff. It's pretty AND functional! When the insides of your kitchen cupboards are pretty, you've got to smile.
Um, looks like I have to tag six people... if any of you don't want to play you don't have to!

Well, if I remember correctly, The Rules of Accountability state that you should find someone who has a strength in your area of weakness, and ask them to keep you accountable to specific improvements in your area of weakness.
You could, of course, completely ignore The Rules, and you could ask someone with the SAME weakness to be your accountability partner. There's no guarantee that you'll improve the weakness, but at least you'll get to chat more often. And what, WHAT? could be better than that?
So, if you are interested, I'm game.
I was referring to the Bible reading, of course, not the raising of chickens.
Haha! What, you don't want to be my chicken accountability partner??
Sounds like a good deal to me! :) ...I'm gonna read my Bible now... see, it's working already!
You'll have to give us some time to think up 6 (or 12) random things that maybe YOU don't know about us. We don't know 6 bloggers who would take the challenge so we will break the chain. Sorry. We will post as soon as we can think of some stuff (or make some up.)
You and your bargain shopping. I should try to post a $50 outfit challenge just for you. I wonder if I could do it with shoes and everything...
Mark and Penny had chickens...you could ask them for advice if you really do start raising them.
The cheap shopper thing is genetic (I'm thinking an Ernst gene), so I don't think you can avoid it even if you wanted too. Plato's closet is our favorite store!
And try keeping your Bible handy. I have one in the car I read while I wait to pick up the kids. However, now that Kayla's driving, it hasn't gotten read nearly as much.
