I've been tagged.

My lovely friend Tawnya has tagged me.

I'm it.

{List 6 quirky things about yourself}
  1. I simply cannot relax in the evening if there is schtuff lying about. I have to go around the living room and put things away and straighten things a bit before I can sit down and relax. I've even been known to get out the Pledge and dust a bit before plopping my bum down on the couch. I may be just a teeny tiny bit OCD...
  2. I am very much a 'go with the flow' scrapbooker. If I smudge ink or glue on something, I'll just change the layout so I can cover up my smudge. I don't measure. And I never preplan my pages. I just pull stuff out and start playing... it's all very organic to me.
  3. I have to have the laundry folded a certain way. If Asia goes downstairs to grab something out of the dryer and he folds things, thinking he's helping me out, I have to re-fold it the right way. Even the socks. There definitely a right and a wrong way to fold laundry.
  4. I have terrible fingernails. I don't polish. I have awful cuticles. Some are long, some are short. My hands are working hands, not pretty hands. I inherited short stubby fingers and figure there's not much I could do to make them look better, so I don't try.
  5. I don't really know what my natural hair color is anymore. I've colored it for so long - and whenever I try to go back to what I think is my natural color, it starts to grow out and I see I was wrong. It's brown. But I've dyed it auburn for so long that I identify much more with this exotic, spicy color. (Nice and Easy Medium Spice, for anyone who's wondering. I've always colored it myself.)
  6. I'll eat just about anything. But green onions and cilantro? Yech. Can't eat anything with them. I'll pick it all out if I have to.

I'm tagging Mindy. And Katy. And Steve and Ken because they're my big brothers and it's my job to bug them.

Happy Friday!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m
