Quirky Tag

Some quirky stuff about me:

1- I like to devour a tray of ice after I eat. Most people like something sweet after a meal, but I prefer the crunchy, cold blocks. To my patients who are also my friends: Do as I say, not as I do.

2- Speaking of meals, I don't like them. I rarely eat meals. I usually only like side items. Steak and potatoes, keck! I'll just take the salad, or the fries, or the spinach dip with tortilla chips. This drives my boss crazy. If he buys us lunch, he adds an entree onto the side item I've ordered, and then I bring it home to Steve. After 14 years of employment, you think he'd change, but no.

3- I don't like to talk during Denver games. The kids can't ask me any questions, I don't answer the phone, and unless you need the heimlech, don't bother me. (Ang B.- I'd be happy to teach you about football, just not whilst the Broncos are playing girl)

4- I despise Steven's body pillow, who he calls Lola. I wake up with 5 inches of space on my side of the bed and freakin Lola has her own spot in the middle of the bed. He shoves her off mid-sleep and there she lays, all roomy and cozy. Steve will tell you that Tug also has maximum space in our bed at nights, which I cannot deny, but at least he keeps me warm and has a pulse. I dream of torching Lola many a day.

5- I like to put personal pictures with every post and it's bugging me that this one doesn't have one.

6- A friend once said that when I like something, I really sink my claws in. Also true. It could be a band, a book, a musical, a blue and orange football team, etc. When I get attached, I really get attached. I'm currently going through Matchbox concert withdrawal. Their tour is over and I get shaky thinking I might never see them together again.

7- I was born with an obcession to match colors, clothes, frames, decorations, basically everything. My sister Val always makes it a point to bring it up whenever two things aren't the EXACT same color. Brooks wanted a green room that didn't match his precious spiderman comforter so I've spent toilsome hours trying to tie it all in. We ended up compromising with two blue walls and two green walls. I also used to dislike character stuff, but I've come to realize that my kids' likes are more important than what's trendy or fashionable.

8- Jen hates the word socks, lol. I hate the word fiance. There's got to be some English word out there we can make up for one that is betrothed. Fiance just sounds like I should waltz or something every time I say it. Also too frenchy, yick.

9- I have specific requirements for a purse purchase. The cell phone pocket has to be on the side & outside the purse, there has to be an inside pocket for sunglasses, a separate area with individual slots for cards, license, & pens, and there can only be one adjustable long strap. I can't stand a purse with two handles- one for the shoulder and one that constantly comes off which requires placement back onto the shoulder. The long strap is so that every time I lean over, I don't have to give it a forceful elbow to keep from knocking me out. I wish I were the type of gal who could live without it, but I need the sanitizer, lip balm, wipes, tidestick, sunscreen, headache meds, & floss handy at all times.

10- I have trouble keeping things short. I talk alot, write alot, eat alot, ebay alot...wait, I don't exercise alot. Uh-huh, there ya go, I can show constraint on some things.

-I tag all my blogger friends & fam who hanker for a post that yields wee energy and little time. It usually gives me a good chuckle to learn about your hidden obscurities.
