10 Quirky Things About Me

1.  Even though these items are staples, important, and I have to update them regularly, I loath shopping for shoes, bras and eyeglasses.

2.  I don't like putting on a pair of socks after taking them off.  If I am shopping for a skirt, I would rather look dorky with the socks on rather than take the socks off and put them back on. 

3.  My feet are usually always cold, but they get colder when I go to bed. 

4.  The majority of my wardrobe consists of solid colors.  Mainly purples, blues and blacks/browns.

5.  I am very particular as to how my clothes are hung in my closet.  Light to dark, short sleeve to long sleeve, collar to no collar.  When I was in college, I could tell if my roommates had tried on my clothes because they were put back in a different spot.  (we were all about the same size, so we had six closets to choose from- it was awesome!)

6.  I am very sensitive to most fragrances, so all of my detergants, soaps, deoderants and lotions are unscented.  I can't use scented candles in the house or wear perfume because it will give me a headache.  

7.  I love to pick zits.  Ewww, I know, but I love it!  The dissadvantage to using unscented soaps etc. (see #6) is that Daniel doesn't get any good back zits anymore.  Bummer. 

8.  I really hate shaving my legs.  I don't own a pair of shorts (it was that one time when someone asked me why I was wearing white tights under my shorts and I wasn't that made me decide to quit showing off my alabaster legs) I will shave them a few times a year, but I really find the chore to be pointless.  Just for the record, I do shave my armpits. 

9.  Bananas and walnuts burn my tongue when I eat them. 

10.  I am considered to be legally blind without my glasses.  (which makes shaving legs in the shower a bit of a chore!)  My vision is 20/650.  Which means that if you have 20/20 vision, what  you can see clearly at 650 feet away,   I can only see clearly at 20 feet.

S is for ...

A few weeks ago I was getting Seth ready for bed.  He had been gone most of the day with Daniel, so asked him if he had had a good time.  Just to be silly, I called him "Buster".  He looked at me and told me that he wasn't Buster.  I teased him and said that my little boy's name is Buster, and that Dad must have brought the wrong kid home.  I pointed to the big letter 'S' that is hanging on his wall and said that "S" is for Buster.  He said that "S" is for Seth and for Sherron.  Teasing him, I said that this must be my room then.  He told me that my room was in Dad's room.  I looked sad and told him that I don't have a "S" in my room.  His eyes got big and he smiled and then told me that he had an idea.  He found his Post-It note pad shaped like an S that he got for Christmas and he tore off a sheet and put it in my room!  He was so cute!  So now whenever I see the little Post-It Note "S" on my nightstand, I think that "S" stands for sweetheart!

Girls

This weekend Mark and Paul have surprised me with a few comments.  The first was Paul.  He came up to me and said, "I don't know why I have a crush on this girl, but I do."  I asked if it was because she was nice.  He smiled, and said yes.  Her name is Anika, she is in his class at school.  He said that they sit by each other at lunch and they play together at recess.  It kind of took me back that he would admit to liking a girl. 

The second surprising comment was from Mark.  We were eating dinner and Seth said something was hot and Paul said that he didn't think that it was spicy.  I said that there are two different meanings for the word 'hot'.  Mark informed us that there are actually three.  First is the temperature, second is the spicy and third is the 'girly word'.  It took me a second to figure out that the 'girly word' is when you refer to a girl as looking hot.  Oh my, we will be entering uncharted territory sooner than I thought!
