MeMe

I've been tagged. My friend Hannah has tagged me and told me to do a MeMe. So in my 3rd post, I get to do a MeMe. How fun! Here are 6 quirky things about me.

1. I am a wanna-be organizer. I read books upon more books about organization. I have tons of ideas about how to organize my things, but mostly other people's things. In the past I actually helped lots of other people organize their things. Have you ever watched that show on HGTV called Mission: Organization? Well, I think it's great. I watch it and dream of all the neat things I could do in different rooms in my house, or better yet, in other people's homes! But guess what? I am a messie!

2. I am addicted to soft drinks. I would have Coke Zero piped in through an I.V. but then I wouldn't feel the burn. The burn from the carbonation is what I long for! And even better....one that is so cold it's almost frozen. You know when you pop the top and there are little ice pieces in the can? MMMMMM, I get excited just thinking about it.

3. Speaking of things I am addicted to, try Nachos. I have a weakness for them. And it doesn't have to be "gourmet" nachos that come with beans, lettuce, etc. It can just be cheese and chips. I even like the kind from the 7-11 (yes we have those in Virginia!). I went to Sam's and they actually have that HUGE can of fake cheese for Nachos. BOUGHT IT! And you can actually freeze the stuff. So I divide it in to ziplock bags and put it in the freezer. When I want to use it, I let it thaw, I cut a hole in the corner of the bag and squeeze it out. And I found the perfect tortilla chips here. They are Utz brand and they are light and thin and crispy and salty. All the stuff I love about a good chip for good nachos. Then I add jalepenos and some sour cream and I am good to go. Yes, I have a weakness for Nachos. So if you ever want me to tell you deep dark secrets then tempt me with Nachos....and an almost frozen Coke in a can!

4. I can't go to sleep with my feet cold, but I hate to sleep in socks. So how in the world do I remedy that one? Well, I put socks on until my feet are toasty. Then I take off the socks, but make sure that I can wrap a blanket or the sheet tightly around my feet. I just can't sleep in socks, because if I do, my feet would suffocate. I am just sure of it.

5. I don't like to have my face wet in the shower. Those little drops of water that trickle down your face when you're in the shower????? I HATE THEM! I must always have a towel nearby to dry my face. Unfortunately, I think my kids have the same phobia, you know, tricklingdropsaphobia????

6. I now get very emotional when I hear the Star-Spangled Banner played or sung...and sometimes even when I see a picturesque view of the American flag. After living outside of the U.S., I find myself a more and more patriotic, not egocentric, but patriotic. I get teary-eyed when I hear it. Please understand me that I am not saying the U.S. is perfect and makes no mistakes. I just think I appreciate more all the sacrifices people made/make so that I can live in a country where we are FREE. Yes, I cry!

So there...6 quirky things about me. And believe me, there are a ton more, I just don't want to bore you any more. So now I tag, Craig , and that's all for now, because I am just getting into this blogging thing and don't have too many froggers (friends combined with bloggers) in my life!
