7 Weird things

So, this blog is supposed to be primarily about Ethan but I have been "blog tagged" by my dear friend Ruth to list 7 weird things about myself and you all know I can not turn down a challenge. Here goes nothing:

1) I love celebrity gossip, can't get enough of it. I read tmz.com, watch Access Hollywood and buy all the trashy magazines. Not sure why I love it so much but the trials and tribulations of celebrities is so intriguing to me.

2) I am utterly obsessed with the weather and not just the weather in my area, but weather all over the world. Bryan makes fun of me and says if they put music to the Weather Channel I would watch it all day. Truth be told, I probably would. I love learning about earthquakes, wind patterns, jetstreams etc. I missed my calling, I should have been a meterologist!

3) I can't get enough condiments on my food. I love almost all of them, ketchup, mustard, salad dressings etc. I have been known to create really weird combinations. My latest obsession is hummus. This is ironic since when I was little my mother had to by plates with dividers since I refused to let any of my food touch each other!

4) I have a weird game I play with the clock to "answer" burning questions in my life and I am not just talking about "should I wear a blue shirt or not". Let me explain. Actually, it is a game that I learned from my mother. You ask the clock a question like "will it rain on my wedding day"? After you ask the question you turn and look at the clock and if the last number of the time at that moment is even, ie 12:24,than the answer is whatever you want it to be (yes if you want it to rain and no if you don't), if the time ends in an odd number i.e 12:21 than you are out of luck and your wish will not come true. Kind of confusing and you're probably still confused but it makes sense to us. Guess that is why this is one of my weird things!

5) My feet are bizarre. My toes are as long as Ethan's fingers and my pinky toes curl around almost under my other toes so you can't really even see the toenail. For a long time I was so repulsed by my feet that I refused to get pedicures. I got one for my wedding and have been hooked ever since.

6) Although I consider myself to be an intelligent woman, I have been known to say some really stupid things. I just don't think before I speak sometimes. Fortunately for me I seem to only do this around my family and save myself from public humilitation. It all started when I was little and asked my mother if chocolate milk came from brown cows. Now, this might be cute coming from a 3 or 4 year old, but I was 10 at the time! My mother almost fell over:) The rest I will not share to save myself from embarrassment but don't worry, Bryan keeps a running list.

7) I have a pet peeve about people leaving dishes in the sink. When kitchens were designed someone brilliantly decided to put the dishwasher right next to the sink to make it very easy to rinse your dish and then put it in the dishwasher. I think Bryan was born without that gene or simply leaves his dishes in the sink to drive me nuts! It gets worse, I have a certain way that I like the dishwasher to be filled. If someone fills it, I will rearrange it to my liking.

So there you have it, though I am sure I could have gone on. So in the spirit of keeping the game going I am going to tag my fellow bloggers, Cristy, Kristy and Breck!
