I've Been Tagged!

What does this mean? Well, it means I'm IT...of course. My friend Kim Antisdel tagged myself and some others on her blog, which means we have to tell 5 (I made that number up) interesting things about yourself so your readers can know more about you. So...drum roll please.

1. Let's talk...the microwave. It bothers me when people take their food out of the microwave 1 second before the beep. Honestly, just wait for it to beep. If you wanted it in the microwave for 59 seconds, then you should have pressed that. On the same subject, I need those same people to push "clear" on the microwave so when I use it it reads the time/0 on the screen. I'm not a tidy, clean, or OCD personality type, but this irks me for some reason.

2. I think I was a trucker in my past life. I love to drive. Usually when we are driving distances, I force Brad to let me drive. It's a thing I have. I also drive a stick shift, so when there is no traffic I find myself "racing" when shifting gears. I also enjoy skipping a gear. It may not be good for the car, but I find it all sorts of fun. Example...downshifting from 6th to 4th is the best!

3. I can't stop staring at my cats. I could honestly look at them for hours at a time. Also, I find myself saying, "Brad, look at Gizzy...isn't she cute?" He doesn't think cats have facial expressions (gasp, I KNOW!), but I find myself entranced with their funny little minds and faces.

4. It's annoying to me when I don't get Brad's movie quotes. He can watch a movie once and start quoting it. I always say...what movie is that from. His reply: the one we JUST watched. (I kind of have a memory problem, too.) On the flip side, I don't like to watch movies more than once. My rationale is that I could spend that same time watching a new Oprah or another movie I haven't seen.

5. Finally...I am obsessed with chocolate. So much so that I hide it in the house. On first glance, I think there is no chocolate in the pantry, so I wait for the "craving" to wear off. Brad says it takes 15 minutes. If I still remember after that, I go to the hiding place. Behind the large bowl in the pantry. Mmm. Chocolate.

There you go! If anyone else who reads this and has a blog would like to participate with their own quirkiness, I call...Tag, You're It!
