AKA Two memes for a lonely night away from home. So, with no further dwelling on being homesick, meme #1 from the sweet Dany. It’s what she called the “ten-stupidly-random-facts-that-still-turn-out-quirky-and-funny meme.”
1. Most of my tears come from my right eye. Honestly, in the car, riding shotgun, I can cry without anyone knowing. A skill I picked up in a dark time of my life when I always rode in the passenger seat, literally and figuratively.
2. Yesterday I discovered that the “1” button on my cell phone is what can make the period and comma symbols for me when texting. Seriously, yesterday.
3. I am very modest. Like turn and cower or wait for a bathroom stall to change at the YMCA kind-of-modest.
4. Once I find a bug in my food, it’s over. There is no amount of flicking, extracting, rinsing, or ignoring that can quell the gag reflex.
5. I pet the skin above my lip with my index finger when I am worried, deep in thought or need to soothe myself. Sometimes I get wild and use my ring finger.
6. I can drink an entire bottle of Essential Vitamin Water without taking a breath (the big or the little bottle).
7. I have grown to love my feet (they were a size ten by 8th grade, happily, 3 pregnancies later, they are still a ten.)
8. I am beginning to think that a little bit of vanity is healthy.
9. I have officially entered the, “I don’t get the allure” age, where I look at magazines and shake my head. The tsk tsk can’t be far off.
10. I think working out with my husband is sexy.
And now for the second meme because, you know, even though the ten things I just listed gave you way more than enough information about me, I’m still bored in my hotel room. Thanks to the supah-dupah hawt Hotfessional I give you the “5 current addictions” meme.
1. Coffee. Hot. Iced. Homemade. Coffee shop. Morning. Afternoon. Weekeday. Weekend.
2. Boy shorts. Screw thongs and bikinis. I love, love, love how I feel and look in boy shorts.
3. Shaving. Whether it’s Sean or Ave, having someone rub your leg appreciatively? Awesome.
4. Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother and Redken Extreme Iron Repair – pre-styling wonders that don’t make my hair sticky!
5. Day four away from my family I am seriously addicted to thinking about them and replaying the mundane – doing the girls hair in the morning, matching socks at night, thrusting my feet at Sean and saying, “Well, would you look at that? Guess if they’re sitting right there you might as well rub them.”
****
How about that? I feel all warm and better. Thanks Dany, thanks Ree.
No tags, but man, I’d sure love some comments sharing your addictions or quirky things. Help a lonely gal out, mm-kay?
5.
Number one is so cool! What a trick!
And as far as number one on the second list, well, you know where I stand on that… š
When do you get to go home Amanda? At least you have sweet Fin with you!!
OK…
Quirky…
I eat the same exact granola bars as I did when I was little because it is comforting to me. I have never even tried another flavor, ever.
5 current addictions…
Facebook, Twitter, Fantasy Football, Greek Yogurt with honey and granola, and counting down the days until Saturday
Ok… off to the doctor…
Addictions: snuggling with Shawn & my boys ~ especially on cold mornings under warm covers, chocolate chip cookies from Starbucks, sushi, thrift stores and reading.
Quirky: as a child I bit my nails ~ toes and fingers. I can still get my toes to my mouth but no longer bite them. š I'm incapable of paying more than $10~$20 for an article of clothing for anyone in my family. The only exception is shoes and coats. And that's a rare exception.
I can't think of any more ~ I'm pretty boring š
How you feel about coffee is how I feel about tea. All day long, any flavor, hot or cold, just keep it coming.
Five current addictions:
Iced hazelnut coffee from McDonald's. I hate McDonald's and I thought I hated coffee…
Taking pictures with my new Nikon camera- I love it.
Tickling Harper- her laugh is so adorable
Facebook
Vacuuming
Hmmmm. Addictions:
Chocolate (surprise?)
Coffee
Flannel sheets at this time of year
My flat iron that heats up in 30 seconds
One glass of good red wine
Conversations with my toddler
Kissing smooth kidlet cheeks
Can't think of any quirks, right now. I'm sure my husband could chime in but he's in the shower.
Oh mah gawd. I love boy shorts, too! They are the best undies in the world!
My feet used to be a size 10, until one pregnancy forced the issue. Argh.
Must have every day? A cup of coffee AT HOME in the morning, and a glass of wine at night.
If my husband walks into the room, exercise time is OVER. I am the world's clumsiest person, and doubly so when I'm attempting to do lunges.
I do that lip petting thing, too! Except, sadly, I have a pretty rockin' moustache most of the time, so I look like a silent movie villain. Sexy.
Chocolate…yum!
Today I also wrote I was wash cloth obsessed
while i dont know about the whole "sweet" idea, i did find something pretty sweet today.
it might have been you who wrote about going back and forth with her husband about who would play who should a movie ever be made.
if it wasnt you, i'll be horribly embarrassed, but not too put out. because i've found someone who i think looks a lot like you. If you were to, say, head over to imdb.com and look up sarah clarke…it might surprise you to see how close you are. š
