It recently came to my attention that both Kandid Kiwi and Motherhood had tagged me to do a meme, and I didn't know because I've been woefully behind in my blog reading lately. So in an effort to be a good Internet citizen, here are my answers.

Three things I am doing right now: Trying to feel sleepy enough to go to bed after taking a ridiculously long nap this (Sunday) afternoon, resisting the incredibly powerful temptation to long into my work email account and get a head start on Monday’s inevitable landslide of concerns, and watching “Mythbusters” with my hubby, Dan.

Three nicknames: Tuna Tummy, Big Girl (both of those childhood names given courtesy of my dad) and Hales, which you are not allowed to call me unless you are one of two people. You know who you are.

Three people that make me laugh: My friend Liz, all my siblings (I know that's four people, but they all slay me and I can't pick one.) and my husband, who is never afraid to look ridiculous if it will make me smile.

Three things on my floor: Two framed pictures I’ve been meaning to hang on our wall for months now, Dan’s tennis shoes, and a box of instant oatmeal I’m going to take to work with me for snacks more healthy than what’s in the vending machine.

Three things I can do: I can write a little, I can wiggle my ears, and I can make a mean roasted chicken thanks to Real Simple magazine.

Three things that I love (things, not people): Good books, clean sheets, and a perfect cup of coffee.

Three people I’m tagging: Charity, Bryonie, and Rebecca. You knew it was going to come to this, ladies.
