6 unremarkable things about me!

I've been tagged by Elastigirl.

1. I HAVE to start my morning with coffee. Usually 2-3 cups. I have tried to go without, and it just doesn't work. I like the taste, the smell, the texture....and especially sitting on the back porch watching the sun come up while sipping. All of these things signal morning to my brain. The oldest child will sometimes come ask if I have had my first cup of coffee yet before he asks question of me. How thoughtful.


2. I skipped 4th grade. I don't know exactly what happened, but near the end of 3rd grade I was tested and sent to a shrinky and they moved me on up into a 5th/6th grade combination LEAP class. Talk about a kick in the butt!!! I struggled for 2 years to get caught up and start making decent grades again. Anything I can't answer these days, I smirkishly say under my breath, "I probably would have learned that in 4th grade".


3. I have an unnatural fear of Santa Claus. I have always thought of him as quite creepy. I don't even take my children to sit on his lap. We wave from a distance. Whoever thought of children sitting on a creepy fat man's lap...was out of their mind!


4. My face is extremely uneven. I have worn glasses since 8th grade (the same time I got braces...man I was soooo good looking) but I rarely wear them because of this. My left ear is lower than my right which makes the glasses lean. The bridge of the left side of my nose is flatter than the other side which adds to the problem. And to make matters even worse, my left eyebrow is higher than my right. Which creates the illusion of them being crooked even if I have the glasses corrected to fit properly. I have found a way around the crooked glass look with sunglasses....just buy ones that are so big they cover my eyebrows. But wearing regular glasses, as much as I love them, is a pain!

5. I hate using a top sheet. I have tried using a top sheet over and over, but it always ends up bunched up on the floor. I can't stand the feeling of my feet being bound while I sleep. They have to be on top of the blankies. I also have to have a "knee pillow".

6. I too have a few movies I will watch over and over again: Ever After, The Princess Bride, Sound of Music, Pride and Prejudice, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Love Actually, Dangerous Beauty, Anchorman (The Duke and I quote that movie daily)....."When in Rome....". He he. I still cry at sappy endings....even if I have seen them a million times.
