Ten Toodles

Let me start by saying that the only reason I am writing a post is because I am ready to see something a little more cheerful when I open my blog. Due to that insincere reason, I actually have very little to say. I do have a few fun pictures to share, but I will get to those later. For some reason, getting up out of the chair, getting the camera and downloading the new pictures seems really strenuous. 

With that said, I just thought I would give 10 facts about myself that you peeps might not know.

 Now I know what you are thinking..."Why would I want to know this," and the answer is...you probably don't. But I have nothing else.

I'm actually quite exhausted right now and should probably be sleeping. 

You may begin to notice that when I get tired, I ramble!

Onto the facts:

1. I love the smell of skunks! Truly I do. I cannot explain why, I guess the Lord just tuned my nose to those black and white creatures. The only reasoning I can conjure up is that it reminds me of a time when I was young and my entire family went on a ski trip.  The condo in which we stayed housed a spraying skunk underneath. Maybe the smell triggers a special "I love great memories with my family" place in my brain. I've met one other person in my life who had the same skunk-love and she was one of the neatest people I've ever known. So, after meeting my nose-mate, I didn't feel like such a quack!

2. I am unbelievably indecisive! Wait. No I'm not. I mean, yes I am. NO, I'm not. YES, YES, YES I am...final answer.  It causes many of those closest to me a great deal of frustration, but again, just the way God made me. I have this "every minute decision has lasting effects, therefore I must always make the BEST decision" complex. What side should we have for dinner? Asparagus or green beans? Which color shirt should I buy? Hang the picture at this height or that? It's even to the extent that I honestly analyze the order in which I wash my color-coordinated loads of laundry! I know,pathetic! My brain, oh the spinning wheels. No wonder I'm exhausted.

On a positive note, my husband is very decisive.  I'll add that to my list of reasons why I love him. 

3. I do not like hyenas.  I've never actually seen a live one, but after The Lion King I was apprehensive of the devilish creatures.  Then, the trip to Gander Mountain sealed the deal. One glance at the awful, awful stuffed hyena and I was a gonner. Eeeek! I can't even write about it. They give me the heeby-jeebys.

4. When I was young, I thought Hollywood was going to knock on the front door of our house and insist on their need for me to be the next child star. I just knew they were out searching for me. I also thought Hollywood was a person! So, Mr. Hollywood, if you're still looking for me...I'm right here baby!

5. I can touch my top lip to my nose. Is that unique or can everyone do that? Well, even if  you can do it, I bet you cannot hold a marker in between them and write your name. Hmmm, gotcha there didn't I?

I think I'll stop there for tonight. 

If you've stuck it out until the end, I'm sure you are thanking me for sparing you the misery of 5 more. 

Or, if anyone is actually interested in what makes me so gosh-darn special I can finish the remaining 5 in the future. Doubtful though.

Maybe I'll be back with more in-depth thoughts tomorrow.

Until then...

**I almost signed my name. Then I thought "wait. you don't sign your name to a blog. or do you...I cannot remember" so I had to go look at my other entries. And the answer is no. You don't sign a blog. I warned you: Rambling**
