Confessions!

I got this idea from someone else's blog (I should add that to the list of confessions...blog stalking!) and I thought it sounded like a fun idea.  So here are 10 things that perhaps you didn't know about me, and if you did know them then consider yourself priviledged!  Some are a bit embarrassing so keep your judgements and ridicule to yourself.  :)

1. I occasionaly watch QVC for entertainment purposes only.  Where else can you find diamonds and garden gnomes showcased in the same hour?!  Nowhere...that's where! 

2. In every library book I check out I circle page number 62 with a pencil.  I can't for the life of me remember which books I have already read so this helps me keep track.  (Yes, the suggestion of keeping a journal has been made...listen....circling page 62 takes WAY less time than writing out a title and author.  Cue the lazy comments!)

3. My closet is in ROY G. BIV order (long time since you have seen that acronym huh?!), our dvds are in alphabetical order, I own and use a label maker, and my daily calendar is my lifeline, but....I can NEVER find the scotch tape.  I went on a rampage the other day...we own 6 rolls...6....and I can never find a single one.  Note:  one roll was in Luke's dresser?!

4. I cannot sleep in an unmade bed.  Even if it is 11pm (yes, that is super late for me) and I am exhausted I must first make the bed just to get into it 3 seconds later. And I mean MAKE the bed, sheets folded and tucked in and pillows in order (and yes there are 2 pillows that are immediately removed once the bed is made - don't even get L started on shams!).  Ridiculous.

5. I cannot stand the smell of metal (you know...loose change, handrails, etc.), but I will linger a few seconds longer than is probably healthy while pumping gas!  If they bottle gasoline as a perfume I will be first in line.

6. I get the hiccups every time I eat carrots sticks.  Normal? 

7. Jazz music gives me a headache (yes, those of you who would remember, I did indeed play the saxophone in my junior high days...irony at its best!)

8.  I cannot buy the first item on the shelf.  I will only take the 2nd or 3rd from the front....this goes for both cans of corn and v-neck t-shirts.  Amie taught me this and I think it makes perfect sense.  The first item has just been handled too many times. 

9. I get the "heeby-jeebies" from anything with a honeycomb texture.  You need an example I am sure.  Here you go...I cannot eat English Muffins.  Those darn nooks and crannies get me everytime...ewww!  Can't do it, call me crazy, just CAN'T do it!

10.  I am very aware that I have become my mother and you know what?! ...I am thrilled about it!!
