Some Random Facts about Me

I was tagged by Ms. Heather (Emily's former teacher) - you can check out her site here

Now I get to share 7 weird or random facts about myself. Let's see if I can stop at just 7!

1.  I can't stand the sound of people breathing! It drives me crazy. I sleep with a small fan next to my side of the bed so that I can't hear Shad breathing in his sleep. If he breathes too loud, I wake him up and make him roll over so that he's not facing me.

2.  I get carsick when other people drive, especially when Shad is the one driving.

3.  I am very anal about how the dishwasher gets loaded and the laundry gets folded. No one - and I mean NO ONE - is allowed to fold the laundry at my house except me. I'm trying to teach my family the right way to load the dishwasher, but usually I let them do it and then come back and rearrange all of the dishes so that they're just right.

4.  I. HATE. CLOTHES. SHOPPING!!!

5.  My cocker spaniel has a lot of discharge from her eyes (the vet says she has allergies). When it's all dried up, I pick it off of her eyelids.

6.  I hate to throw things away. (For example, I still have plastic portfolio sleeves from when I was in high school.) I just know I'm going to need it (whatever it is) some time in the future and then I'll have to go buy another one. I can't stand the thought of paying for something twice!

7.  I have a horrible sense of spatial relationships. I have a perpetual bruise on both of my hips from running into the corner finial on our bed. I never pick the right size storage container for leftovers. 



So now that you've decided you're glad you live far away from a crazy person like me - here's how to play, in case I tag you or if you want to do this on your blog:

1. On your post, link back to the person who tagged you - that would be me, in this case.
2. Post your assignment on your blog - seven weird or random facts.
3. Post these rules on your blog.
4. Post links to seven bloggers that you will be tagging.
5. Go to those blogs and give them a comment on their blog to let them know that you have tagged them.

I tag Kristi, Dacia, Traci, Becca, Jenn, Shelly, and Liz.

I am always bruised too. It seems like I don't judge the corners of the walls quite right!
