Things about me

I'm addicted to DVR. How in the world did we live without it before now? I'm sure it's like cell phones we never thought we'd need one but once we got it we are lost without it. I now watch all my shows 1/2 hour after they start just so I can fast forward through commercials. If I'm watching live TV I try to fast forward the commercials but it doesn't work!!! Grrr.
I am a procrastinator. I'm in charge of a dance group for my church. For our first dance group I am teaching Bellydancing. We meet in 2 weeks and I still have no idea what I'm going to teach. I keep meaning to practice but when I get home from work bellydancing is the furthest from my mind. I really need to get to cracking!
I'm behind on my scrapbook. This also is in correlation to being a procrastinator. I love the scrapbook. It's my hobby. I love putting my memories in my scrapbook and making them look pretty. I spend so much money on scrapbooking supplies yet I just don't do it. I sit in front of the TV and watch watch watch. I need time management!
I like to cook but hate to clean. My husband and I have an agreement. If I cook dinner every night then he will clean the house. Fair trade? I think so!
I'm a tight ass (not to be confused with having a tight ass). My husband has to call me whenever he wants to spend money on our debit or credit card. Even if it's just for a .99 cent drink at the gas station. I always give him crap about spending money, yet I spend our money at leisure.
I always have to be in control of everything. I once tried to let my husband do the financing but I couldn't take not know what he was doing. I also always have to have the remote. I think it's from living on my own for so long, I'm just use to doing things my way, so I hate when things either change or I can't control them.
I say yes to everyone. Whenever I'm invited to a "party" (Mary-kay, Clothing, Pleasure, Stamping) you name it I'll go, even if we can't afford it! I'll even sign up to give a party. But when push comes to shove I won't answer your call when you call. I really don't want to do a party, I just feel guilty telling you no. So if I've signed up to host a party and I'm not returning your call, yeah I'm just too chicken shit to tell you NO.

So those are a few things about me that make me ME. I'm sure there are others and I'll think of more later. It's still too early to think properly.

OMG! I do the money thing too! My hubby balances the checkbook but I have to double-check it and if I see things in there that I don't recognize I grill him about what he spent. But I have no problem spending money at will myself!

I want a DVR and I want one now. But spending the money for it? NO WAY. I also like to control the money. I like to control everything ... just watch, one day I will have control of the entire world!

I have no idea how I lived before Tivo. Actually, I'm getting an idea right now while we're at my parents.. there is no tv installed at the new place yet. Faith doesn't understand why she can't have Oobi on demand!! And mommy is a slave to the clock for a couple of shows - it sucks!!

It's hard for me to say "no" too.. I'm not very good at it, and I feel like I'm being mean when I do it.

benny and i still have two separate bank accounts. we split up the household bills between the two of us, and then the rest of our money that is left over, we spend as we wish. he chooses to put his into savings (our savings) and i choose to buy chocolate and makeup with mine.

sounds like a fair trade to me.
