Tagged again
I think this might be the third time I’ve been tagged for this one and it might be the second time I’ve done it but I have the memory and attention span of a gnat these days so I’ll join in with the rest of blog land and do it again. (Tag courtesy of Tam.)
7 Weird things about me
1. I brush my teeth in the shower. I have a very specific order to things in the shower and if I deviate I will forget something (like rinsing my hair). First I shampoo, then condition, while the conditioner is on my hair I brush my teeth, rinse conditioner, wash self, occasionally shave, and done.
2. Pregnancy has made me stupid. A few weeks ago, I was going to the store to pick up 2 things. I had to ask Steve 3 times before I walked out the door what I was going to get. He was actually a little nervous to let me drive – afraid I might forget what to do if the light turns red or how to make the car stop.
3. I am never comfortable temperature wise. I am always either freezing or sweating. This time of year I am usually freezing. I walk around my house in pants, socks, slippers, a tshirt, a sweatshirt, and my bathrobe over it all – and still cover up with a blanket on the couch. Steve has been known to ask if it is healthy for a living person to have hands as cold as mine. He calls me a crocodile because I can’t regulate my own body temperature. Also because I do the crocodile death roll with the covers at night (according to him). You know how crocodiles roll their prey underwater until they die? I apparently do that with the covers until they are completely wrapped around me and he has nothing left. We don’t share covers at all – should that be another weird thing? I have my covers on the bed and he has his.
4. I can’t go to sleep without reading a book or magazine for at least a few minutes. If I try, my brain won’t shut off from the day and I obsess about things to the point of being unable to sleep.
5. I can’t lie down completely flat. If I don’t have a pillow or something to slightly prop up my head, I get an awful headache.
6. I hate tomatoes but I love spaghetti sauce, tomato soup, ketchup, and salsa.
7. I am a peeping tom. No, I don’t want to see what people are doing in their houses, I just want to see how it is decorated. When we go somewhere at night, I am always gawking in windows that don’t have curtains so I can see the furniture, paint color, house layout, etc. I am fascinated by other people’s houses. I blame my mother – we used to spend Sunday afternoons going to open houses just for the fun of it (and I still do sometimes).
I used to brush my teeth in the shower, until I had to teach Ducky to brush her teeth, the best method was to SHOW, not tell.
And ditto on #4-7
See, we ARE bizarro twins!!!
And for #5, you aren’t supposed to lie on your back past your 2nd trimester anyway.
I love these little questionaires. : ) It is so much fun to see how people decorate their homes! Even in blogland, it’s fun to “peep”, isn’t it? It’s great fun looking at what is in the background of other people’s pics. : D
P.S. I’ll tell Jason that it’s “safe” for him to pay you another visit…tee hee. : D
Take good care! God bless.
ha ha sounds alot like me, I love open houses. I’m always saying oh they have this in thier house they have that…. Schmoop tells me I’m nosey I tell him I’m observant. 🙂
I don’t do anything but the bare necessities in the shower cause any more would confuse me and I would drop my toothbrush then not want to use it anymore. Probably would have to buy 30 toothbrushes in a month.
I’m gonna be screwed when I get preggers cause I’m already forgetful.
I’m with ya on #7!! I will even take floor plans from a magazine or book and stare at them dreaming of how to decorate it!!
Little scary here. You just hit a lot of things about me. I’ve been tagged too. Got to take the time to do it!
Hilarious! Bill and I have separate blankets as well because I am a blanket hot and coccoon up in them.
TOO funny!! #7 is totally me too!!! Larry always tells me to stop staring..but hey I’m in my car what are they gonna do?? Chase me down the road!!
I also “stare” at yards… I know wierd but I like flowers and try to do the same thing in my yard..never looks the same ðŸ™
Have a great weekend.
When I go walking w/Josie (the dog) I look at other people houses too, and it’s a bonus if I can see the decore. I also talk to her about the landscaping and architecture.
I brush my teeth in the shower too…and have to read before sleeping, but now sometimes i try to read blogs..lol harder to just drop off though. And love love love open houses and looking thru windows too!
if only I cared about decorating more.
I need to fly your knocked up rump here to visit and have an intervention for me.
I can’t believe that you never cite your ice chewing obsession. I remember when we used to go to the Pro’s Table for lunch (remember so that we could get that brick of like deep fried spaghetti and cheese) and it was like 3.5 blocks from work and you would have to bring a cup of ice in the car with us. Oh yeah, tearing it up in Tuscarawas County!
I am the same way with tomatoes! I hate them plain, GAG!
I am exactly the same in terms of #7. I get SO excited when a house in my neighborhood goes up for sale so that I can see photos of it online or at an open house. I just love to see how houses are laid out and how they’re decorated.
