7 Quirky Things

Jennifer over at Running With Scissors posted "7 Quirky Things" about herself that I really enjoyed reading. So, following her lead, I challenged myself to come up with 7 things about myself that most people would consider totally weird. (Trust me, I found MANY more, but these are the ones I could share in public...LOL)

7 Quirky Things About Me

1. I have to hold my nose when I go underwater. Let me tell you, I look like a real pro jumping off the diving board!

2. I don't wear a seatbelt (unless I'm riding with someone who MAKES me). I would rather be ejected from a car and take my chances than to be pinned in and trapped. I guess it's a phobia?

3. I like cornbread crumbled into an ice cold glass of milk.

4. I ate the ends off matches when I was little. And raw bacon. And lived!

5. I'm a true blue Coal Miner's Daughter.

6. I LOVE storage items. Hat boxes, steamer trunks, old chests, decorative boxes, bags, etc. It's a sickness, really.

7. I adore storms. Rainy days make me very happy.

Well, there you have it. I warned you I'm weird! LOL

Have a great Monday, everyone!

Hey Shirl,
My grandfather always ate his cornbread in a bowl with milk poured over it.
Not so weird when you think about it. Love getting the insights!
Take care,
Lisa & Alfie

ah, storage items! boxes, bags, ziploc's got those super really large bags now (the smallest of the three makes a perfect tote - but het the ones with the sliding zipper if you want to re-use - the ziploc doesn't hold up well). I also love hard drives, thumb drives, external drives and shelving units (and th elusive heavt duty boxes the #10 envelopes come in)

my brother calls it my "container fetish" ;-)

(how did I find you? You put Scott Bakula's name in your blog.)
