Tagged

I've been tagged by Rachel at seeking delightful pleasures to list 7 weird/random things about myself.

  1. My favorite curse word is "crackers" and if something is really bad I say "crackers and soup."
  2. I absolutely hate it when the plastic shower curtain blows in and sticks to me when I am in the shower.
  3. I would be a like to be a high school or college history teacher.
  4. One of my favorite literary characters when I was a pre-teen was named Candy Kane. I once took art from a woman named London Bridges. We had a customer whose name was Minnie Tartt.
  5. I like to drive fast with the windows down and the music very loud. (But I don't do this often because I don't want a ticket and I don't want to mess my hair up... : (
  6. I would like to have a piece of art published in this magazine. ( I actually did have a tiny mail art envelop published in the Oct 2007 issue but I would still like to have something else published one day... reminder to self...make something and send it in!)
  7. I miss having children at home. ( I don't miss cleaning up after them though)
I tag Lavinia Ladyslipper of Birdbath Chronicles , Willow of Life at Willow Manor and Look Beyond the Picket Fence. You go girls!

    My seven weirds are posted! I had so many to choose from. :)

    I had a teacher in high school named Ben Dover. My college roommate had a next door neighbor named Grossie Lumpkins. So, whenever we said "gross" which in the 70's was every other word, it became "grossie lumpkins". I still say it, to this day.

    Thanks for playing ladies. I loved getting to know you both a little better.

    Grossie Lumpkins...I need to remember that one.

    We have some crazy customers at work. I pull out my address book and write down stuff they say. Sometimes it is just too good not to remember. Once a woman called in and said her insurance "collapsed" instead of "lapsed." Another called in to say she couldn't make her payment because her car was "out of fix." I have written so much in that little address book I sometimes have trouble finding the phone numbers I need.

    Steviewren, my quirks are so boring compared to yours! What are you talking about! I love the crackers and crackers and soup, I might just have to try that myself.

    You are right, the vicks is sometimes effective on headaches...I put it on my eyebrows and all over the nose....it does help.

    I put it all over my forehead and nose too. Doing that along with taking Excedrin always gets rid of a headache for me.

    Crackers and soup is a great curse word cause no one get offended and I don't have a potty mouth. *grin* I have even heard people copying me.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."
