A Meme and Randomness Part Deux

Okay, so I have been tagged by my real life friend Patty for a meme where I am supposed to list 7 of my strange characteristics. My first thought was "Only 7? But I have so many more than that". Then my second thought was "All my characteristics are strange". So, in an effort to be a team player, I will try to list seven of my odd quirks (although I hate to be so limited -don't like to be fenced in). The rules said that I have to first list all the rules, but since I don't really like to play by the rules, I am not listing the rules. I like to color outside the lines a little, ya know. Some of you may have read these before as I tend to give out way too much useless information on this blog. Here goes:



#1 I do not like to drink after people. I especially do not like to drink after people when they have been eating. You never know if they might have accidentally lost some food particles in the drink and then I might actually eat ABC food (already been chewed for those of you who aren't up on old timey acronyms). The mere thought of it makes me want to hurl.



#2 I do not look people with pink eye directly in the eye. My great grandmother once told me the following "Never look into the eyes of someone with pink eye or you will get pink eye yourself". Now, I know this is an old wives tale, but for some reason, in the recesses of my mind, I kind of believe it. Besides it is better to be safe than sorry. Ya'll have no idea how I fear pink eye (hey! Judge not!!! Besides, this meme is SUPPOSED to be about STRANGE characteristics - I aim to please and I have lots of strange characteristics to choose from).



#3 I am somewhat jealous of Kelly Ripa, so in an effort to punish her for being skinny, beautiful, and rich by working one hour per day, I do not watch her show.



#4 I have an irrational fear of snakes. I fear that when I check the bath water temperature, one might come out of the faucet. I also fear that when I make my bed, one might be waiting to attack my feet. I worry that when I sit on the toilet one might come up and bite me (how embarrassing would that ER trip be?). If any of the above ever happen I will first need a pair of these and then one of these.

#5 I don't like to walk in front of people. I hate to be late for church because people might actually see me from behind. My frontal view is definitely more flattering than my rear view.

#6 I am still addicted to Chap-Stik. I go through a tube every 2 weeks. It's a problem.

#7 I cannot go out without teasing my hair. Ya'll know my motto, right? "The bigger the hair looks, the smaller the rear looks". Soooo true!

#8 I love Southern Gospel music. One of my favorite songs is this. My kids know every word by heart to this and many more Southern Gospel songs. I listen to all kinds of music, but there is just something about S. Gospel that makes me want to clap my hands and start flat-footing (if you do not know what flat-footing is, then you must be from up north - please see this for explanation).

WOOPS!! That was 8 things.......told ya I like to color outside the lines. And for a last bit of rebellion, the rules say I have to tag a few people for this...........I aint taggin' just a few!!! That's right, you heard me (read me), I am tagging everyone who reads this. If you made it this far in reading this post consider yourself tagged (although don't feel pressured to HAVE to do this - I understand you are busy and it will not hurt my feelings if you choose not to ;-). For those of you who don't know, I never tag anyone, because I am always afraid I will hurt someones feelings by leaving them out. So, if you want to be a team player, then get to posting STRANGE (and they better really be strange) characteristics you have.


For those of you who are wondering why I know about the "Surprise Moment" underwear listed above, I thought I would offer an explanation. I do not have bladder control problems (unless I get scared). I was online searching for The Original Slush Mug and came across those weird, but necessary for some panties. I ordered 2 slush mugs for the boys. I had one as a child and it brought great joy to me (and saved my parents a boatload on snow cones). You might want to order one for your own child - I call it frozen joy in a cup.

Lake left the fridge door open all night last night. Ice particles have formed and our milk is kind of warm. I thought hubs might burst a blood vessel. Funny how we become like our parents in the blink of an eye.

I resent paying the water bill. God gave water to us ALL, why do I have to pay the city for it? I also resent paying for parking, paying at toll roads, and paying $5 per gallon for gas. While I am talking about things I resent, I also resent people who have wash and wear hair that looks good and people who say things like "I really need to gain some weight".

The mailman just came to the door with a package from Samaritans Purse about Operation Christmas Child (our church is very involved with that). Seems awfully early to start thinking about Christmas, but it is only a few months away. If you have never helped with Operation Christmas Child, you should go to the website and see what it is all about. You will be blessed. We have received notes from people all over the world thanking us for sending their children presents and telling us how they have trusted Jesus because of the ministry of Franklin Graham.


My kids' new favorite cereal is called Honey Buzzers. Oh, you've never heard of it? Probably because its the cheap kind in the bag. It is the fake version of Honeycomb cereal and yes Lisa, it is the same stuff we ate 3 bags of at the beach several years ago. Got it at The Wal-Mart for $3.19. I don't think it is too healthy though......nothing can be healthy if it is made by a company called "Malt-O-Meal".

Watched Hillary at the "Council of Evil" last night. Was she really wearing orange or do I need to adjust the brightness on my TV? Did she really say all those nice things about the guy she hated just a few weeks ago? And did Bill really mouth "I love you, I love you, I love you" when she took the podium?? I am not really sure, because that is the point I head to the bathroom to throw up. Maybe he really is over Monica (and Jennifer and....well the list just goes on and on, now doesnt it?) I know we will not actually know who the antichrist is because we will already have been rapture, but I would be willing to bet that the antichrist is in Denver right now ---- just my opinion - It IS my blog, ya know.


Well, that is about all the junk I can think of right now. I have some studying to do for class tonight and Lake has guitar lessons before AWANAs at 6:30 and then he is out of school until Tuesday.....and THAT, my friends, is a blessing from on High.

Peace out.
