For the first tag, the instructions are to post the sixth photo from the sixth album on my computer. Because I use iPhoto and don't have folders, I had to go by "events." Here's what I came up with:
This picture was taken when I was 20 weeks pregnant with Nathan. This was taken the night before we found out we were having a boy.The next tag says to list seven weird facts about yourself.
1. I have really sensitive skin. So sensitive than I regularly break out in rashes. Attractive, no? Just last night my arms started to itch uncontrollably. When I looked at them, here's what I found:
2. I have become totally dumb since having a child. Just the other day I discovered that I glued a picture in Nate's baby book on top of the page cover. Seriously, who does stuff like that?
3. Everything has to match: File folders, hangers, towels, pushpins, boxes, etc. I even prefer to have all the same brand of makeup, haircare products, and cleaning products, but that doesn't happen very often.
4. I count all of Nate's toys so I know when one is missing. Today he had 12 crayons and 4 cars in his bag of toys at church. I know that he has 13 balls in his tray and 7 Sponge Bob books in the car. He also has 14 pacifiers and we've been missing an orange one for a few weeks. It's totally bugging me.
5. I can hold my breath for long periods of time. I got my dad's extra-large lungs. Last I tried, I was able to swim two laps of the pool on one breath.
6. I struggle to forgive people. I just recently talked to a friend for the first time in ten years from high school who I was on bad terms with. It was a really big deal for me and she probably had no idea it was that much of an issue.
7. I have very vivid and emotional dreams. Sometimes they end up effecting my day.

I have the dream thing too, maybe it is genetic. The counting this is also genetic. I don't count toys, but I do count stairs, steps, and many other odd things.
Oh my goodness, you gave me quite a shock! I opened up your post and saw the picture before I read anything. I thought you were announcing you were pregnant! My heart skipped! But then I read and understood. Phew!
I think your counting thing is fairly common among us type As. I count everything too, but my biggest thing is counting stairs and steps to places. I count Ava's blocks when I am putting them away, and things like the number of steps it takes for me to get from the kitchen to the laundry room. I can't go up a flight of stairs ANYWHERE without counting them! I just thought I was neurotic. Glad I'm not the only one!
What a fun post!
As for you counting Nathan's toys?! WOW! Girl, I feel sorry for you. Oh how many toys and pacifiers L'il C lost. My prayers are with you to prevent insanity. ha ha (Is that possible?!) :)
On that note of iphoto and events, isn't that great? I love mac, it's so efficient with things like that. And yes, love Real Simple, have you seen the new "Real Simple" show on TLC?
oh me too about the dreams!
