Hi! I hope everyone had a nice Easter and is now enjoying those deviled eggs.
I have been tagged by Lei over at My Many Colored Days to share 6 things about myself that I think are weird.
Hmmm, ok, here it goes:
1. I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I have had the same dentist since I was in 3rd grade; we took a field trip to his office and he was so nice that those positive feelings have just always stuck around.
2. I love flat, somewhat firm pillows. I usually sleep with one on top of my head, or with my head sandwiched between two of them.
3. I am OC about having my kids toys organized. It really bothers me if I find action figures mixed in with the blocks. The rest of the house can be headed to heck in a handbasket for all I care, as long as the toys are ship-shape.
4. I get the feeling I'm weird when I hear other people talking about "the good old days" before they got married. They reminisce about dating, going out with friends, etc. The one thing I really miss from "the good old days" is the freedom to go to the library and study until they lock the doors. I am a nerd at heart. Love school and everything about it. Tests, textbooks, school supplies, study groups, testing centers, libraries, syllabi, etc.
5. I HATE to swim in lakes. The muddy bottom really, really creeps me out. (Guapo likes to point out that I did swim in a lake once before we got married just to give him the impression I was adventurous)
6. I am currently reading the Old Testament and enjoying it! That's weird isn't it? I mean, sure, there are some mind-numbingly boring spots, but there are some great stories, and some really, really weird stuff in there. I just felt it was time stop relying on Bob and Larry for my OT smarts. Maybe this one falls under #4. For those of you who think it does, I will share one more:
7. I have trouble driving in reverse. I'm doing ok right now because my mini-van is equipped with this beeper thing that lets me know when I am closing in on some poor, unsuspecting object. But, it's really a two edged sword because when I go to the States and rent a car, guess what? No beep.
There you have it. Now I have to tag 6 of my blogging friends and they have to share 6 weird things about themselves.

I'm "It"

Happy Easter!
You are so weird AND so adventurous at the same time ;-)
I can't top 1. Going to the dentist: the smells, the little drill going WZZZIZIZIZ, the little tray with all the little torture devices. No gracias.
Now I want a van with a beepy thing.
Interesting! I can't share your enthusiasm for the dentist visits, school and toy organization but I can definitely understand the "no swimming in the lake" feeling. Aside from having muddy bottoms, there's something about swimming in (almost) stagnant fresh water (although I've tried it a couple of times as a child). I didn't realize you had trouble driving in reverse! I promise to watch out for cars everytime you drive out of my garage! Hope you had a great trip to Palenque
If you get to Isaiah and you can decipher it, let me know. I love your quirks. Thanks for sharing, I don't feel so alone in my weirdness.
so with you on the lake thing!!!
Thanks for playing... I enjoyed reading those!!!
Oh, I can relate to you on so many of your things listed!! I too hate swimming in lakes. We have one by our house and I don't like getting in it. As morbid as this sounds, I am always worried that I am going to step on a dead body or something!! (You know, cause there are some that they never find!! )LOL!
LOL I just blogged about my toy room organization! I found you through Tripping Over Cobblestone. (I was the other Flip Up winner the day you were) I really enjoy your stories and photos, thanks for sharing!
OK Ms. Gabriela, I know I wasn't listed as 1 of the 6 bloggers for this one, but I must make a few comments. As 4 #4, did you have a lobotomy child? Yes, you did love to study & all but my memory of those days were quite different. I will fully concur w/#7 -driving in reverse. You are the worst. My best memory was you trying to back up on the side of I-70 to pick up our biker husbands and you kept backing onto the highway into oncoming traffic. I kicked you out & took over. I have always been able to drive better in reverse than forward. Are you sure that you're mine?
mi mama:
I'm not saying I didn't date or hang out with friends, I'm just saying the thing I miss most about being single is being in school! That's all. Thankfully, I have no desire to date anymore!
