I'm Baaaack!

(Please note: The date should read December 30th...not sure what the problem is there!)

Hello Peoples!

I trust everyone is having a loverly Christmas (remember...there's still six days left..."On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...") so don't pack it all in yet!

Okay, so before Christmas I was reading one of my favorite blogs Sheepish Annie (she is hilarious...you must check her out!). Any-who...Annie was tagged by another blogger and had to post 6 weird things about herself. I figured, "Who's weirder than me?" so I let her know I would like to participate. Ergo, I have been officially tagged. Everyone buckle your seatbelt...here we go...

“THE RULES:Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.”

Weird Thing #1: I waited in line to purchase the new Nintendo Wii gaming console before Christmas. Not once, not twice, but thrice times! (I'm such a dork!!!) Yes, I even arrived at the store the third day before 5:30 a.m. in hopes that I would be #1 in line. Alas, one even crazier than me arrived about 5 minutes before me. Result: I got the Wii. (Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!)

Weird Thing #2: When I am particularly stressed about things my OCD-ness tends to flare up. When I am really anxious or worried about things, I tend to count everything I do in multiples of 3's or 5's (or multiples of these numbers). I'm not sure why, but I have convinced myself that if I don't, the world as we know it will abruptly come to a screeching halt. So you see, my lovelies, the world in fact does rest on my shoulders...

Weird Thing #3: If I hadn't married my beautiful hubby, I would have married one of three other men. Man #1: George Burns (I love that he loved his beautiful Gracie soooo much!) Man #2: John Travolta (how can you not love someone this cool???) Man #3: Matthew McConaughey (but, he's just too pretty...and a committment-phobe, so I just had to say to him, "Babe, look...it's just not gonna work out. You're just too pretty. It's not you...it's me." I must say he took the break-up pretty bad, but I felt he was a bit out of line taking out that restraining order against me...) Honourable Mention: Captain Jack Sparrow (okay, I know he's fictional...but c'mon...THE Captain Jack Sparrow...a pirate! Yargh! Every girl loves a bad boy...)

Weird Thing #4: I love to watch Coronation Street. It's a British soap opera. I don't get to watch as much lately, but I used to watch it all the time many moons ago.

Weird Thing #5: I secretly would love to live on a homestead. Y'know...raise goats, grow your own cotton....live off the land. However, there is one major problem with me achieving this goal in life. I'm a city girl! I rely too much on modern conveniences. One time my mom was visiting us in British Columbia when my daughter was about 7 months old. Mom was going to make a birthday cake. My response, "Oh, my mixmaster is in storage in Edmonton" (therefore I figured you couldn't make cake). My mom looked at me like I was off my rocker. When she informed me that you could in fact mix it by hand, I was dumbfounded! Do things without modern appliances? That's just madness! Ergo, I don't think I'll be "livin' off the land" any time soon. Besides butchering my own meat...well, that's just icky!

Weird Thing #6: My life is one big movie quote. My husband, my daughter, and I daily incorporate movie quotes into our sparkling conversation. I questioned the weirdness of it all recently and my husband figured it is really no different than when people used to walk around quoting Shakespeare back in his day. That response satisfied me...I'm sticking with it!

Well, that's weird me in a nutshell. Now, according to the rules I have to name six people whom I would like to tag. They are:

Murray, Natalie, Andrew, Candace, Jessie, and Diana

Have a great weekend, peoples!
