I got tagged by Michelle over at Faerie Dust Dreams to come up with seven weird things about myself. Hmm...I know I'm weird but I found this to be really hard. I guess I should have asked a family member...they probably would have been able to come up with LOTS...and fast. Ooohh...maybe it's just as well I didn't ask them. :-)
Here goes...
1. I love using up or finishing stuff. Like using up that last squeeze of shampoo or the last olive or pulling the last tea bag out of the box. I love all this because then I get rinse/break down the container and recycle.
2. Similar to above, I love recycling. I don't just mean in the sense that it's good for the planet and all that (that's a given!), but I mean I love the process of saving and sorting and then that oh so sweet plus...putting the barrel on the curb for the city to collect. Bye bye! This makes me happy.
3. Again, sort of similar to the above items (I'm sensing a theme here), I love cleaning out the fireplace. I also love raking leaves, Weeding? Not so much.
4. I love the food combination of barbecue potato chips, Hershey's chocolate (preferable the large bar) and RC Cola. This is a hold over from my childhood. These items = happy times. And that salty and sweet? Hmm...good stuff, Maynard.
5. I love having my teeth cleaned. I also love flossing my teeth.
6. I love practicing handwriting. I will often spend a whole evening writing people's names. When I was in junior high, I went through my year book and wrote out every person's name just to see what their name looked like in my writing.
7. I love the series from the 70's, the "The Odd Couple." One of my favoritest shows ever. Whenever I hear that theme (you know the one), all is right in my world.
Okay...so now I'm gonna tag just a couple gals...if you don't want to do this...no biggy.
Melissa, Andrea, and Claudine....your turn to shine, girls! :-)
Oh I almost forgot...to fill up your gorgeous eyes with some amazing STUDIO CANDY, go check out Andrea's blog. She had an "open house" and shared LOTS of pictures of her newly decorated/rearranged studio. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks again for the fun, Michelle!
Oh and BTW...did anyone else LOVE watching Wilco on Saturday Night Live this past Saturday? I don't usually stay up quite that late, but for Wilco I sure did! Yay!!!
Okay...gotta go take some pictures. I had a really nice weekend and I have a few things to share with you. Take care, and Happy Monday!
Love these facts about you, Michelle. I like number 4 and 6

Michelle, I'm with you on the whole "finishing up" things! I think mine has more to do with moving things out...making room for more!
have a great day! xo natalea

This was so fun to read! I love learning little quirky things about people---it's what makes us all individuals!

You should move here...we have to sort cardboard from newspaper, plastic, metal cans, light bulbs, batteries and colored glass from clear...it is just a riot because you then have to take ALL of your sorted stuff to the recycle stations...there is no curb service here, 'cept for the compostable stuff.

Hi-your random facts cracked me up! Especially the handwriting one-that is totally something I would do. And, your post reminded me I got that little award last weekend from Kris Hubick and forgot to pass it on-I was a little swamped trying to get out the door! So, I may just let it ride....PS -We say Good Stuff Maynard all the time because we used to have a cat named Maynard. PPS- Coach has a new bracelet in their latest spring catalog called "Miranda."
