Ok, Okay, I've Been Tagged

This is really embarrassing to have to say something about myself but here goes: (6 things)

1. I don't really like to get up in front of people and have everybody's eyes looking at me. I teach Relief Society usually once a month and just before my lesson, I go into panic mode! It usually works out ok but just knowing that everyone is looking at me and listening to me is almost too much!

2. I am a perfectionist-I admit it. It is my downfall sometimes but I like to have things turn out just right.

3. I started sewing when I was in junior high school and I made most of my school clothes-in those days we wore skirts and dresses to school. I even made my formals for the proms (which were held in our high school gymnasium-much more practical and fun than today). I would lay awake at night and dream up what my next formal would look like and then I could create it with my sewing machine.

4. I am trying to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. It will be really close-I am only on Alma 30 right now. If I read a few more pages every day, I may make it. As consolation, if I get to 3 Nephi by Christmas-that will be good too.

5. My parents almost named me Eileen. It was between Julie and Eileen-I am so glad they picked the right name-sorry to all you "Eileens" out there.

6.I only had long enough hair to pull into a ponytail once in my life-when I was around 5 or 6 years old. My mom used to braid my hair too. She would wrap thread around the ends to hold the braids in. I guess she didn't have tiny elastic bands like they do now. The rest of my life I have always had short hair. It would be fun to have "long hair for a day" someday just to see how the other girls feel! I think I have never had the patience to try and grow it out.
