This was fun to do. Tagged by Melissa B - everyone who has visited her blog has been tagged. Check it out - Because I Really Can't Get Enough of Myself. And now.....everyone who visits here is tagged. And I DO mean that. If I don't see this on some blogs soon, I'll be bugging you! And yeah, I know that's not really what the rules say (see the pic at the bottom of this post), but ask me if I care. I'll still be looking for random and/or weird facts about you!
So here we go:
1. I never liked the name Jessica. I don't dislike it, I just never liked it. Kind of like the name "Tracy". It's okay - nothing spectacular. My middle child was named Jessica because I had a dream that I had a baby named Jessica and when I got pregnant, I knew I was pregnant with "Jessica". And I have to say - there is not another name that would fit her better. The name has grown on me. Now I kind of love it. And she's an amazing child!
2. I love starting projects, but rarely finish them completely. I can't help it. It's just what I do. And it drives my husband CRAZY.
3. I'm afraid of the ocean. I'm scared to death that I'm going to get eaten by a shark. I know - it's a ridiculous fear, especially when I'm only in up to my knees. But I can't help it.
4. I love romantic stories. I love to read them. I love to watch them. I love to hear them. I'm just a sucker for romance. Matt thinks Die Hard is a romantic movie. He also thinks it's a Christmas movie. What's wrong with this picture????
5. Christmas Eve is the BEST DAY OF THE WHOLE YEAR!!! I'm a sucker for Christmas. And Christmas Eve is our big traditional family gathering. We eat potitza bread, kielbasa, cole slaw, and a potato casserole or macaroni casserole. I'm not a real fan of much of it except the potitza bread. My cousins and I always used to joke that when the old people get really old, we'll just make them hotdogs and say, "Here's your kielbasa." Then we'll all eat filet minon.
6. My great aunt is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PEOPLE. She is an amazing woman. She'll be 93 on Friday. She was a model in the 30's & 40's. She is one of the happiest persons I've ever known. She loves everyone and always makes people feel good. She is fun to be with and she hates to clean. (Yes, that's where I got my "cleaning hate" gene.) And how many times can I say "she" before I drive someone besides myself crazy?
7. I lost my patience. And I can't find it. I know it's here somewhere. But it's been gone for a while and I'm getting a little concerned. My kids haven't been able to help me find it. Same deal with my husband. But I better find it soon. If you know where it is, please tell me. I really need it back. I think Matt & the kids want me to get it back, too.
Now.....
my blog title explained:
It's what I often say to my husband. Especially when he's frustrated that I'm running late for church. There comes a time when certain happenings just shouldn't be a surprise anymore.

I think there's gotta be some kind of club for mothers' patience somewhere because mine is gone too. I bet they have a really big tv in their clubhouse. And really good snacks. And maybe on tuesdays they play Bunko but actually have good prizes which makes rolling a dice around for 2 hours worth it.
I doubt we'll ever see our patience again...
Ok Ok, I can't lie...I looked at your blog...i guess i have to do it. I want you to know it might take a lot of thought though. I have to sort through the many weird facts about myself.
Hi Tracy,
Well, I don't think I actually said it was a romance. I think I said that it was a very dramatic film, filled with heartfelt relationships.
It is a relationship film. Good guys and bad guys locked in an epic struggle of life and death. Fortunately, the bad guys lose and well they do in fact, die hard.
As I type this post; however, I am reminded that the traumatic experience of popping off the terrorists (Yippie-kai-yay!) actually brings John McClane and his estranged wife back together again at the end of the film. So yes, I think without any stretch of the imagination, Die Hard is a classic romance. Thank you for your astute declaration.
So technically you could watch it with your husband and he would get credit for a chick flick. :)
And yes, not only is it a Christmas movie, it is a good all around movie for any ocassion.
Daytona 5220
DAYTONA 5220 - please review the Chick Flick to Guy Movie Ratio post. It's THREE chick flicks to one guy movie. So even if I cave and let you count it as a chick flick, I still have two more before a guy movie.
And just for the record - CLASSIC romance is more like An Affair To Remember, NOT Die Hard. That's an affront to true romance.
Sheesh!!!!
