From Inmates to Playdates

If you happen to be one of my real life friends, you probably chuckled at that title. Because if you really knew me, you’d know there are many more than 13 weird things about me. If you had the ability to see inside this head-o-mine, you would be very surprised that I am able to get anything done. And the fact that I have the word ‘inmates’ in my blog title should tell you something.

Don’t we all have our things?

Let’s get this thing started.

1. I am very particular about the way I fold my towels.  I fold towels in half and then in half again and I stack them so that the folded edges are facing front like these.  Failure to do so does not sit well with me.

What can I say? I told you I had quirks.

2. It is a pet peeve of mine to receive a piece of mail with an upside-down stamp. And, I really prefer it to be straight against the right side and top of the envelope.

I’m Just Sayin’

3.  I love symmetry. Not sure why, but I like everything to be even. Even things like the icons on my desktop.

4. I make all beds in my home very first thing in the morning unless I am running absolutely late or bleeding. Not that bleeding has ever been an excuse for me not to make the beds, but you get my point. {note: I was sure I had a picture of my bed all nice and tidy on my laptop…seriously}

5. I have been known to take random pictures of myself and have pretty much perfected the technique.

Just ask Anita Renfroe.

6.  If I come to your house and use the restroom, there is a pretty good chance I will take a peek in your bathtub. Just keepin’ it real.

7.  If I am in the right kind of mood, clutter has the ability to send me rightovertheedge….. unless you are talking about the cute little green bench in my bedroom that looks exactly like this one minus the crazy pattern. And then, all bets are off. No matter how hard I try, I cannot! keep! it! clear!

At least, I don’t think it has this same pattern. The pile junk would have to be removed for me to even see the pattern. I think one day last month it was clear.

8.  When I crawl into bed, I always count the hours until I have to be up and ask God to allow me to sleep at least half of those hours uninterrupted.

9.  After a year of being with this clock, I have yet to figure it out completely. And that fact drives me nuts!

10. I have serious opinions about my funeral.  [note: stay tuned for that post.] I would love a Casket Basket. If the Longaberger’s are not available to weave this ole gal a basket casket, then the finest casket of solid mahogany will be fine. Maybe with some bling. Look at it like this… it will be the last gift that anyone will ever purchase for me. So, I want it done right. Remember, I said solid and mahogany, not pressed and wood.

11. I may be known in some circles as a control freak. (ahem! see #10)

12. I love Mexican food, but the site of guacamole makes me gag. Seriously, if you’ve ever changed a baby poop diaper, I have no idea how you could eat the stuff.

And last but not least.

13. I love, love, love the Olympics.

And most especially this guy. 

Just in case you have been living in a cave, that is the man, the machine and my boyfriend, Michael Phelps.

There.

Doesn’t it feel good to know there’s lots of people out there crazier than you?

Enjoy your Thursday, ya’ll!

*Edited to include – For some reason Wordpress NEVER lets me center the images without centering my words. OCD ALERT*
