Taggy Tag Tag.

So my friend Jen tagged me the other day. It's the first time I've been tagged, so of course I'm going to play along. The tag is to list 7 strange or weird things about myself. 

I know, I know how will I ever narrow it down?

1. I'm double jointed in my hips and shoulders, I can totally do the "human jumprope". Yeah, I'm flexible.

2. Tapioca pudding grosses me out. Like totally grosses me out. Ditto for rice pudding. And lumpy gravy. I'm starting to notice a pattern. YUCK.

3. I don't wear deodorant, seriously people, I really don't sweat. Even after a workout, I'm dry as a bone.

4. In the entire 5 years that I've been a stay at home mom, I haven't watched daytime TV once. The kids watch PBS, but I have never watched daytime TV. I'm afraid if I turn it on, I won't get anything done. I also don't watch TV very often in the evenings. I've never watched an episode of American Idol, or Survivor, or So you think you can dance, or Desperate Housewives. For real. Like never ever.

5.  I am a total "ambulance chaser" when it comes to blog reading. I love to read a good traumatic story, knowing that it's true makes it so much more personal. Sort of like the time I read Kite Runner and loved it until I found out it was fiction (I was thinking it was a bio) After I found out it was fiction I was mad! I felt cheated that I put that much emotion into reading a story that was totally made up. If I'm going to put forth emotional energy, it better be a true story!

6. I hate to clean my house, and have been know to be a bit on the messy side. I can walk past a pile of clothes for days before making myself pick it up, and then only because the kids have no more clean clothes. Sad I know. Tadd teases me that he always knows where I get undressed because my clothes will sitting on the floor in a perfect pile from where they are stripped off. 

7.  This week I bought myself a new pair of shoes for the first time in 2 years. I don't think Tadd knows just how lucky he is. I mean really, a woman that doesn't buy a new pair of shoes for over 2 years! Unheard of! I'm serious.

Sheesh, that was harder than I thought it would be, I guess I'm not that weird after all!

Ok, now I tag Cami, Heather, Carolyn, Maria, and Peggy. You know who you are. Go class of '96! PGHS rocks!

Please tell me you got those shoes in Red? They are adorable. And Born's are the best. I had a pair that lasted like 10 years. So comfy. My latest are too dressy for everyday, but not quite dressy enough for church stuff. My bad.

Jill said...

cute post sis...I hear ya on the daytime tv thing, such a waste of precious nap times!

Cindy said...

You are too much like your mother---sorry honey. But I must say I do purchase shoes a little more often. TV is a waste of life (except for the baseball World Series). I detest 'lumps'. At one time my house was clean--my motto now is, 'a clean house is a wasted life' or 'who did I ignore today as I cleaned'??

Nice! A little highschool tagging going on.

What the . . . no sweat??? I am tres jealouse.

Maria Olson said...

Wow. A lot of things I had no idea about. No sweat? How would it be? I love tapioca and rice pudding, lumpy gravy not so much. It was fun to read.
