Tagged...

Betsy tagged me...I am supposed to list seven strange things about myself. This is problematic. Do you remember in "Emma" by Jane Austen when the group is on a picnic and they decide to play a game where they have to either say 1 clever thing or 3 dull things and Emma zings Miss Bates and wonders at her being able to limit herself to 3 dull things? That is my problem... I wonder if I will be able to limit myself to 7 strange things!! But I'll try:

1. I cannot stand the feel of car upholstery. You'd think I'd buy a car with leather seats but, no, I just grit my teeth whenever I need to touch it.

2. I hate clutter, even digital clutter. Blair makes fun of me but I have to keep my email inbox as clean as possible.

3. I am claustrophobic. I have to take little pills if I want to sleep in a tent or fly on an airplane. The airplane thing used to just bother me but I could handle it...but after getting stuck on the tarmac once for a very long time with no air coming into the plane, well, lets just say that I take the little pill.

4. I hate it when people ask me why I did something. I don't analyze myself. Ask Dr. Phil.

5. I have to wash my kitchen cloths by themself. And I dry them on the dryest and hottest setting just to make sure all the little germs are dead.

6. I am, in general, a homebody. I like to stay home. I like my home. I like my husband. I like my kids.

7. I miss being in school. This isn't too strange but kinda.


Okay, so there you have it. Too much info about me. I am now going to tag any of my husbands students at the law school. And be sure to put your info in a comment. I'd love to read about you.

I love the parallel with the Emma movie - too funny. But I have to say, I was a little disappointed - you're not that weird! hehe, I figured a fellow mommy of 4 would have to be pretty strange.... Anyhow, I'm with ya on the cluttered email thing - I like to tidy that up regularly as well.

Oh, I know, Betsy!! I thought of another weird thing... I have a serious love affair going on with Sharpies!! It is so unexplainable.
