Well, the whole reason I started a blog was because Cori tagged me and I have gotten so caught-up in posting pictures I have forgotten to follow-up with being tagged. It seriously took me forever to think of 6 interesting things about myself... I'm kind of boring.
1- I am a perfectionist: Unless it is a time sensitive situation it usually takes me longer than most people to accomplish a task! Everything I do has to be perfect in my eyes or the best I know I can do. For example: scrap booking, shopping, cleaning my apartment and decorating! It can be both a good thing and a bad thing! It drives most of my friends and family nuts!
2- I am also a little obsessive compulsive: Sometimes I don't realize when this "personality disorder" presents itself and other times I am fully aware but don't care:) For example: I am obsessed with lights! I always turn off the light when I leave a room. I also spend some time following Bryce around and turning off lights in rooms that he has left. It honestly annoys me when a light is on in my apartment that is not being used. Another example: My purse goes in the same spot every time I get home with it. It has a "place" and as long as I am in my apartment it is in it's "place".
3- I pop/crack just about every joint in my body. This is a very unattractive habit! Every morning when I wake up I pop my elbows and wrists. Gross I know! Through-out the day I pop my fingers and neck numerous times. And occasionally I will pop my toes, knees and hips! Thankfully Bryce has gotten very used to this yucky habit unlike some of my friends. Lexxi a friend that I work with absolutely hates it when I pop my neck! She is waiting for that one day that my head is just going to pop off!:)
4- One of my biggest pet-pieves(sp?) is when someone taps on the back of my chair! I absolutely can't stand it! It makes my skin crawal! This "chair-tapping" happens to me in all sorts of different settings. It has happened at restaurants, church, sports games and movie theaters. Story: A long time ago when the movie Titanic had just come out and was at the theater I went to see it with a date. Do any of you remember how long that movie is? I think it was about 2 1/2 or 3 hours long. Well, a kid that was about 14 at the time sat behind me and kicked my chair the whole movie!!!!! AAAGGGHHHH! I will never forget that! By the time the movie was over I was annoyed, angy and very very irritated!
5- I have an elf ear!:) I am sure that I have pointed it out to most of you. My right ear has a little pointed piece of cartilage near the top of it. It really bothered me when I was younger but not so much anymore. I inherited it from my grandma Belva and she calls it my "pixie ear". Now I believe it just gives me "personality".
6- I am very independent. This is a great thing to be when your husband is in law school! Bryce would have never survived had it not have been for his wife not really needing him too much. I knew how to get around in Omaha not long after we moved here. If there was some place I wanted to go I'd go, whether I knew how to get there or not. We bought a book shelf from a Nebraska Furniture Mart this year, which came in a long, skinny box. We brought it home and Bryce had homework to do so I put it together. It took me about 3-4 hours to do it but I was pretty proud of myself! My mom saw this trait in me long before I did when, as a youth, I exhibited my dislike of being told what to do.:)
Well, now that you all know some of the undesirable traits that make me who I am, I want to hear from some of you!:)
Please tell me 6 randon facts about YOU:

Bryce and I went to my work Christmas party last night at Champion's country club. It was really fun! Maybe I lived a sheltered life in Utah but I had never been to a country club where they have free valet parking, a coat check-in where they give you a number, a live band, and a free bar where you order your drinks. Bryce and I ordered a "Rum & Coke"- - -hold the Rum!:)
Our office manager presented each one of the staff and doctors with a "gag gift". As you can see I got a trash can! The story behind this is that at work I am (believe it or not) the "clean freak" and I am always organizing and cleaning off the nurses station. A few times, during this cleaning-up, I have thrown away a paper or something that someone needed. It has been a running joke at the surgery center that if you can't find something ask Brittany because she has probably thrown it away.:) My friend Lexxi got a bag of kisses because she is a very touchy and "friendly" person. One time one of the nurses was having a bad day and Lexxi jokingly asked her if she needed a kiss and the nurse said "NO thanks but you can give me a hug if you want." It was fun to see all the "gag gifts" that were given. They were all pretty appropriate. 
Bryce had met most of the people I work with but hadn't met any of the doctors. It was great to introduce him to all of the doctors I have to put up with!:) One doctor who is awesome and one of my favorites said "I'm sorry you have to put up with her! She is always nagging me to sign stuff." Rude!:) Bryce also got stuck talking to a "not so sober" husband which was pretty entertaining. Anyway-- we had a great time! Merry Christmas everyone!
