Tag!-I HATE Being It!

so i don't get the tag thing, or the survey thing either. and quite honestly i usually ignore such things. why? well, who cares about what i like, or wear, or watch. now i don't want to step on the toes of those who have sent me these things for YEARS, but i just can't possibly fit the "cool" bill of wanting to be read. but, drumroll or tongue roll please: i'm going to respond here to as many as i can remember or locate still in my inbox. feel free to keep "tagging" (why that word? it's like you're being hunted by those who've purchased the "tag". yes, hunted.) me, and i'll keep ignoring them, again!

ANGIE'S
ok 7 things you don't know about me:

1. i hate going almost anywhere that involves talking to people ie. church, school functions, large family gatherings. i get nervous and almost always want to bail. but glenn challenged me to make it my working goal to attend functions, and have fun with friends, and you know the more i do it the less i feel like throwing up!
2. the first car i ever wanted was a navy blue, convertible bmw.
3. the first non-ballerina job i wanted was to be a lawyer, and wear anything but a power suit!
4. i often do not wear a bra, and i started doing that in high school, to bug my mom! sorry!
5. i have wanted to get breast implants since after finishing nursing my 1st baby, and i still do.
6. i used to regularly judge people inside my brain, but a few months ago i started blessing them, to hopefully counter attack my evil thoughts.
7. i have never purchased a lottery ticket. i am happy to announce that participating in filthy loucqeur (how do you spell that word?), is one of the few sins i have never dabbled with.

Still Catchin' Up!

some of our friends at crystal beach. you can see haven and i too, but mostly check out all the OTHER people there! very busy, a usual deterrant for me, but it's so warm i must go, and go , and go...
haven loves the beach, as does cabes, and she does not seem to have any pain receptors on her feet! the day we were here was crazy hot, but haven would walk around and dig and explore without any problem! in the background you can see the long pier where glenny and the boys, along with kashan, jump off!
look at the hair, not my tub. although, now that i've mentioned it you have to, right? ok, it's gross! and that black moldish strip gets cleaned every week, and it will not go away. one of the many blessings of my single bathroom.
haven loves, loves bath time. "baaa" is one of the few words she can say, and if you carry her towards the bathroom, that WILL be the word she will say, repeatedly. if you take her in just to wash her hands, she will cry, and if someone else is in the tub, she will try, and almost make it, in there too.
glenn and haven loving some fourth ice cream. haven was oh, so tired! she actually fell asleep during the fireworks while i held her. so cute, and yet soooo much heavier that the last time i rocked her to sleep!
toran is the man--cooling off his mouth whilst almost burning others! check out those skills!
cabes is quite possibly ready to add pyro to his list of crazy! he tried to light the bushes on fire , because well, they could light on fire. later cabes and toran and glenn tried to watch the fireworks from a treehouse-in-progress (floor only, well and ladder too.)but during the show loud screams of "daaaaa-i-dyyyyy!" were heard far and wide, big clue that cabes was done. turns out that he'd climb up the ladder but not get onto the platform or climb down. fun times were had by all!
the kids returning from a bike ride, not all that long, but very hot and muggy--love the ny weather!
