3 Facts About Yourself
1. I worry about everything. In college I tried to have the nickname "laid back Mercedes" but it became a big joke because I really am the most un-laid back person you will meet.
2. I am a horrible liar...Once while at BYU while I was walking down the hall with my sister I ran into one of my Professors and he asked me why I wasn't in class last week and I lied (Yes, I know it was wrong of me and I have repented and believe me, I don't lie anymore because it is wrong and also because there is no point )I began to tell him a story about how I was on a plane and it started to skid to a stop and by the time I had ended my lie I had somehow also intertwined a bear into the story as well. Needless to say my sister who was next to me was cracking up and I doubt my Professor really believed what I told him :)
3. My facial expressions give away any thought that is going on in my head...I can never hide any feeling or emotion.

4. Go through my closet and choose clothes to give away
5. Create a Christmas budget
