If you happen to be one of my real life friends, you probably laughed when you read that title, because, if you really know me, you’d know that there are a lot of things about me that are, um, werid. If you had the ability to see inside this head-o-mine, it might surprise you that I am able to get anything done. And the fact that the word ‘inmates’ shows up in my blog title should tell you something.
Don’t we all have our things?
Where to start…
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. When towels are thrown in the cabinet all willy-nilly, it makes me crazy. Plus, just look how nice that looks.
I told you I’m a weird one.
2. It is a pet peeve of mine to receive a piece of mail with an upside-down stamp. I just don’t get why you can’t spend 1.2 seconds to put the stamp on ride-side-up. And, if you want to know the truth (and I know y’all do!) I really prefer the stamp to be straight against the right side and top of the envelope.
3. I love symmetry. Not sure why, but I like everything to be even. Even silly un-important things like the icons on my desktop. Things just look better when they are even, don’t ya think?
4. I make all of the 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 the point, right?
5. I have been known to take random pictures of myself and have pretty much perfected the technique.
Just ask christian comedian Anita Renfroe and pay no attention to that double chin.
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 to see what kind of shampoo you use.
Just keepin’ it real here, folks.
7. If I am in the right kind of mood, clutter has the ability to send me rightovertheedge. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have clutter here at the McResidence, I’m just saying I don’t really like it. But if you’re talking about the little green Victorian bench in our bedroom, then all bets are off. I’m not sure why I can’t keep it cleaned off, but I really can’t. I am seriously ready to get rid of it. That’s the only way I can think of to keep from piling it up with clothes and all manner of stuff.
8. I have always wanted to watch an embalming. I know it sounds crazy, but I am too, so there.
[UPDATED: Finally got to mark that off of my list. You can read all about it, here.]
9. After a year of being with this clock, I have yet to figure it out completely. I swear the thing is smarter than I am. And that fact drives me nuts!
10. I have serious opinions about my funeral. I have mentioned before that I would love to be buried in 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. And it would be great if someone would bedazzle the sucker. Y’all know I love some bling. Look at it like this… it will be the last gift that anyone will ever purchase for me, so, why not splurge? 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!

You are too funny, Julie….
Your blog really brought a smile to my face! You wouldnt want to step foot in my house, TORNADO 101!
Ok, 2 things:
1. I know to hit your linen closet after I am finished moving the juice boxes in your refrigerator.
2. I love guacamole, and one of my favorite Mexican restauant memories is eating lunch with you and baby Stevie at Chi Chi’s before their whole Hepatitis A crisis.
