Middle Name Tag

I've been tagged by The Wolff Pack! I know last time I said that I wasn't going to do these anymore but man are they addicting. I find that each time I do one I reflect on myself a little and learn something new. So really these tags end up being more for me and not my readers. Anyhoo here's the rules:

These are the rules: You must post the rules before you give your answers.You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don’t have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you’ve been tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they’ve been tagged and need to read your blog for details.

My middle name is Elaine:

E is for Eclectic. That is what I call the decor in my house. I have so many styles that I can't even count them but they seem to work together, at least I think so, and I decorate with things I love.

L is for Laughter. I think the best sound in the world is my children laughing with each other. When they are in another room and playing a game, or reading to each other and laughing it makes me happy.

A is for Art. I took an art class a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it and actually I wasn't too bad either.

I is for Ice Cream. My favorite flavor is Mint Chip. It's on my mind cuz we just had some for dessert!

N is for Nervous. I am nervous by nature kinda like a Chihuahua. I get nervous when I travel without a member of my family (maybe we'll die in a crash and they will be left alone), I get nervous sending K to new friends houses, and I even get nervous going to a new store. I'll put off shopping some place new for months before I'll get the courage to go inside. I know freaky.

E is for Essentials. We are just now building up our food storage. Our Stake does a food storage order every year and this year we have already bought 6 months worth of food! I am really excited about getting this together. Now I just need to learn how to use it.

Ok now for my tag's, I will tag, Tam, Julie W, Julie G, Karen, Leasa, and Cami.

Glad you enjoyed your tag! The whole food storage thing is new to me as well. I am glad our RS is stressing the importance of it and providing opportunities for us to begin one. I plan on starting soon.

Okay . . . I was really going to do it . . . the tag. Until I read that you had to use your middle name. My middle name is highly classified and I would have to eliminate anyone who even speaks it! So, I will save you from yourself and will hopefully be able to accept your next challenge. I will give you a hint regarding my middle name . . . It begins with "E" and is technically a boy's name. But, it is my Grandmother's name. Can you believe it?! No, it is not Edward!

Okay, I was just reading the comments on Cami's blog and started to laugh hysterically!! The sweater was the "third date" sweater... afterall, aside from the velcro incident, I am no floosy. =) As a side note, I NEVER dated anyone past the second date except for Russ... and he is not especially tactile. What a total waste of a fuzzy sweater!!

FYI -- Tamra has been plotting the same thing -- ie starting a blog for me. I suppose I should fess up now that I am woefully techno-tarded. Although, I have mastered the blog comments. Can it really be that much harder?

Hmmmm, I am stumped for a blog name. Yours were funnier than the ones that I had considered. Speaking of the steering wheel oddball... did I ever tell you that when I was at school and we were writing letters, he ALWAYS signed them Elcoboy? I was forced to adopt a superhero alter ego (I mean, I certainly can't sign my name whilst he is closing with Elcoboy), and so Placebo Girl was born.

Happy Sunday!!

Oh, I have a guess for the Wacky Wheelers middle name... is it Erwin?

Erwin is Russell's middle name, however you may never tell him how you came by that information. It may be a deal breaker for our happy marriage.

Oh willow. Good ole ELCOBOY. I so remember. There was alway Sterringwheel boy and JOHN in the back row. I rember it was a while before we knew russ's name but I knew john. If we were talking about russ it was elco boy or steering wheel boy. Gosh. How young we were then. :0)

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
