1. I call myself "Plain Celeste". I do not like to follow fashions much in hair or clothes (this is not a surprise to most of you.) I can't stand goopy products in my hair and I hate tight pants and shirts. The only reason my clothes are tight now is because I gained weight and I am too cheap to buy new clothes and too lazy to lose the weight quickly. The layering of shirts makes me cringe. I absolutely HATE layered clothes. All I need is one shirt, not three! It's bad enough I have to wear garments, a bra (if society would let me get away with it, I would never wear a bra), and a shirt! That is my 3 layers. Hats off to those who can stand to where 5 layers.
2. I consider myself a "wanna-be computer geek". I know enough to get myself in trouble, but not enough to be the computer guru I wish I was. I guess that's why I keep going to school. Maybe someday the geek in me will surface. My favorite job was one where I sat in front of a computer all day with computer programmers and software designers. (Fun huh!)
3. I was a mega dare-devil in my past life. I have dumped myself off of more ATV's, sandrails, and ski's than I care to remember. I was in my teens and early twenties at the time and thought I was invincible. The craziest thing I ever did was launch myself down a 200 ft. steep ramp on rollerblades and jump over a barrel laying on its side. I almost fell that time and decided not to mess up my pretty face. It's no wonder my back is a mess now-a-days. Those early bumps and bruises turn into major injuries later in life. So, my past life has come back to haunt me.
4. I am a closet sci-fi fan. I am not into the truly weird stuff, but I do love Star Trek, Star Wars, and the Matrix movies (I have only seen the TV versions). I have read tons of sci-fi and fantasy books. My favorites are by Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game, Enchantment, Sarah), Terry Brooks (Kingdom For Sale), and David Eddings (Ruby Knight, Belgariad series). Anybody think I'm a geek yet?
5. I do not like scrapbooking. (gasp!) I know. All of you scrapbookers are thinking how I can't possibly like it. I don't know. I just don't. My sisters are all into it, but I just can't do it. My girls like it. There must be something wrong with me. I would rather do something digital than cut paper.
6. I am OCD when it comes to washing my hands. I tried to count one day how many times I actually wash my hands, but I stopped at like 100. I also can't stand to touch dirty stuff. I have a hard time even holding my kids hands if they do not feel perfectly clean. Just thinking about what might be on their hands grosses me out! Christian likes to hold hands sometimes when we go somewhere and I have to literally force myself to hold his hand when it feels dirty. I will then make everyone go into the bathroom and wash their hands at the next store. ICK! Who knows what is on the carts and store shelves.
OK - there are a few of my oddities for all to see. I think many of my friends have already been tagged, but I'll tag -- Katie May, Lotta Kids Inc., Ryan Manor, and a friend that I want to start a blog Amber (I'll help you).

Yea! We're back up!
On Sunday morning my email account was hit by something and I couldn't access it. Then my blog disappeared completely to which I almost ...
Thanks... Good thing there isn't a deadline for this... SIX things?! Hmmmm... Good date topic this weekend. :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know those things about you. I HATE scrapbooking too. I would much rather create books through shutterfly or something. They look better than I could do, less stressful, everything is at my fingertips, and it is cheaper.
I'm with you girls, scrapbooking is for the truly insane. I like to blog!
ReplyDeleteYour last one is totally me! It's hard when they are little and need their hand held! It was fun to hear those things about you! Thanks for playing!
