So I've been tagged by Shelly. It's the 8 random things about yourself tag, so... Let the random facts begin:

#1. If I find something at the store I want (a treat etc.) I will inevitably buy at least two, so Josh can have one. I don't want him stealing my treats. :o) I usually end up buying more though, but always even numbers (with the exception of a box of something--like bagels, cookies, packages of drinks, etc.)

#2. I am a little OCD about some things. For example: I put on 7 vertical strokes and 3 circle strokes of deoderant each side everyday; If Josh (or anyone) rubs my finger against the tip of my nail, I immediately have to rub it the right direction the same number of times; However many cracks I step over on a sidewalk with my right foot, I generally try to match it with the left (sometimes); Whenever I tip, I try to make it equal a whole dollar amount when added to the bill amount, and if possible--an even number (I'm a nice tipper, but I don't tip beyond what they deserve);

#3. When I was 2, my cousin Andrea pulled out all of the hair my Mom fashioned into a ponytail on the top of my head. My sister says I cried.

#4. I used to have a pet water frog named Cletis. Then I had a different one named Cletis Jr. We kept him in what used to be the cookie jar on the Kitchen counter. My mom used to paint wooden lids for the cookie jar to festively match different occasions--we didn't use those once we got the frog. Once Cletis and Cletis Jr. both passed on, I'm fairly certain we didn't use the cookie jar anymore either.

#5. I have been to 6 countries outside of the U.S. (China, Austria, Slavokia, Hungary, Wales, and England) and those aren't just in Airports either. Ironically enough, I was in a concert in each of those countries as well. They have all been for performances.

#6. I'm scared to death of turtles. And dead stuffed (taxodermy) animals--esp. Jackalopes, moose, deer, etc. TERRIFIED of birds--domestic or otherwise. And fish if they're in the water I'm in. And Sharks. And earwigs. oh, and snakes--they just move so quickly!! Oh yeah, and drowning.

#7. One day, I want to write a book.

#8. My brother tried to get me to name my stuffed animals after taboo bodily functions.

Now, the reason it is called a "tag" is because I pass the buck onto some others. So here we go...the lucky people I'm tagging are (drumroll if you like)..... TEMAIRE, LEE, MAREN, SHELBY (because you haven't written since you got to D.C.), MIKA, KATIE A., and NANCY. mwahahaha. :o)

Don't you feel so much closer to me now that you know these 8 most random facts about me??
