10 Honest Things About Me

Ok Steph, thanks for tagging us. Here it is:

1. I don't like to put on a concert. You would think that I would considering that a significant part of my job is putting on a concert. It's a lot of work to do.

2. You know that song by Michael Buble, It Had Better Be Tonight? I arranged that for my jazz band and we performed it last semester. The singer, Jordon Detlor, did an excellent job singing it. He was pretty close to looking and sounding like Michael.

3. I am currently arranging Michael Buble's version of Spider Man.

4. I enjoy arranging!

5. My favorite job in the whole world is being a husband, followed closely by being a father.

6. My two least favorite jobs are doing the dishes, and changing poopy diapers.

7. I am frequently a trampoline/running track/tunnel for my children. Children have a tendency to get heavier as they get older. Especially when the heaviest child uses me as a trampoline then decides it would be funny to do a butt bounce.

8. I am a jazz bassist.

9. My favorite fast food is a Whopper with extra mayo. I used to be able to eat two of those with a large fries and a large soda, but then I got older and my metabolism slowed. Now I have a hard time eating one.

10. Half my salary goes to diapers and formula.

Steph, the only blogs I follow are the families blogs, and you already tagged them, so hope this is OK!
