I got tagged again by my sister Aleca. My instructions are to tell you 7 random, interesting things about myself. Here we go:

1) I go through food phases. I pick a food that sounds good and it's all I want to eat for every meal again and again and again. Then I get sick of it and don't eat it for a long period of time. My husband is the exact opposite, so I've had to learn to make something different for dinner every night. If he's out of town I get back into my one-food groove.



2) If I could have any job, it would be something different every month. I would love to be a figure skate, then a dancer, then a beautician, then a photographer, then a dental hygenist, then an interior designer...etc. I'm not saying a have a gift for any of these things, but I would love to learn about a lot of different things. (I guess I picked the best job ever because I'm a mom and I get to be all those things to someone....well, not the ice skating part, but pretty much everything else.)

3) I've never had and never will have a manicure. My nails have always been short for piano or guitar and frankly, I can't stand having any nails. It makes me feel dirty.

4) I own (as does my husband) an adult size sleeper. You know, the footy jammies you put babies in? I believe it's the most comfortable thing I've ever worn and sometimes I stay in it all morning and refuse to answer the door if someone knocks. (Only family is allowed to see me in it. It's seriously ugly.)

5) I believe that once every week or two (depending on your situation) everyone should go a day without showering. (Aleca will disown me as a sister for saying this.) I enjoy having a day every once in a while when I clean everything on my house and get all my dirty work done. I don't shower. I throw on a hat if I have to leave the house. I get everything done and the next day a shower feels so wonderful and my house is all in order.

6) I know coveting is wrong, but there is something I covet about each of my sisters. Jodi and Cassie have naturally curly hair that I'm sure I was supposed to get. I've curled mine a lot, I've tried perms, and I prayed that pregnancy would change it, but my hair is naturally straight/frizzy. Aleca got the name I covet. Don't get me wrong, I love my name, (especially because of who I'm named after) but I've always envied Aleca's beautiful Greek name.

7) I get emotionally invested in TV and movies. This is weird, but when I watch a show I think about the characters and their situations as if they are real people I know. I worry about them afterwards and think about what they should do in their lives. I can't stop watching any movie in the middle because I find it emotionally stressful not to know what happened to them. I have to be careful not to get into too many shows because of this. (For the record, we watch Lost, Battlestar Galatica, Friday Night Lights, and Heroes. I might also watch a stupid MTV show called the Hills with my sister Cassie :)

Well, that's it. Those are some of the weird idiosyncrisies that make up Cheri. If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged and write your own list.
