IT'S "ME-ME" TIME, AGAIN...  I'VE BEEN TAGGED BY MY WILD AND WONDERFUL FRIEND PENNY!  SO, HERE I GO........

SIX QUIRKY THINGS ABOUT ME... 

1.  I AM MARRIED TO A SUPER-DUPER NEAT FREAK GUY!  HE'S OBSESSIVLY (SP?) ORGANIZED, LAYS HIS CLOTHES OUT EACH NIGHT BEFORE BED AND HE FOLLOWS BEHIND ME, CLEANING UP STUFF THAT "I MISSED!"  THEY SAY OPPOSITES ATTRACT...THIS PROVES TRUE. 

2.  I LOVE LITTLE DEBBIE PEANUTBUTTER-CHOCOLATE BARS!

3.  IN ALL OF MY 44 YEARS... IN REAL LIFE.... I'VE NEVER EVER HAD TO DIAGRAM A SENTENCE, I'VE NEVER HAD TO CONVERT AN IMPROPER FRACTION, NEVER NEEDED TO USE A PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE, I'VE NEVER HAD TO BE FLUENT IN A FORIEGN LANGUAGE, NOR DID I EVER FIND THE PARTS OF AN EARTHWORM (THAT I LEARNED IN 10TH GRADE BIOLOGY) USEFUL, WHILE APPLYING FOR A MORTGAGE.  I NEVER NEEDED TO USE HAIKU, I ABSOLUTLY NEVER EVER NEEDED TO KNOW THE PLANT AND ANIMAL CLASSIFICATION STUFF.  FIRST OF ALL, I CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE THEM.  AND, I MADE IT THIS FAR...NOT KNOWING WHAT NASA STANDS FOR.  I KNOW A LOT OF THIS NOW... (I'M ROLLING MY EYES AS I TYPE), BECAUSE OF HOMESCHOOLING TOMMIE.  MY POINT IS...  YOU CAN LEAD A SOMEWHAT PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL LIFE WITHOUT A LOT OF IT.  smile-wink-nod. 

4.  I REALLY, REALLY ENJOY CHILDREN'S LITERATURE!  I JUST READ A WONDERFUL AMERICAN GIRLS BOOK ON WORLD WAR 2.  DID YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS BURIED DIARIES OF THEIR CAMP DAYS IN THREE MILK BUCKETS?  TWO OF WHICH HAVE BEEN FOUND AND ONE IS STILL UNCLAIMED!  THE SOLDIERS ALSO USED TO WASH UP IN THEIR HELMETS.  OH, AND THEY USED TO MAKE GLOW-IN-THE DARK BOARD GAMES FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY DURING THE BLACK OUTS!

5.  OBAMA SAID WE NEEDED A CHANGE.  SO, LAST NIGHT DURING THE ELECTION, I CUT MY OWN HAIR...PRETTY SHORT!  DO YOU THINK THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT?   smile, wink, nod.

6.  FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, I'VE NEVER CHANGED MY HAIR COLOR, FRENCH MANICURE (WELL MAYBE NOW AND THEN...BUT HARDLY EVER)...OR LIPSTICK COLOR.  AND, MY WARDROBE IS BASICALLY BLACK...IT HAS BEEN FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, AS WELL.  I LEARNED LONG AGO, FROM CALVIN KLEIN, THAT LIFE IS JUST EASIER WHEN YOU STICK TO ONE OR TWO BASIC COLORS.  SAVES ON LAUNDRY, GREAT FOR MIX AND MATCHING AND NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE.  PLUS, IT'S THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED COLOR IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE.  NOT THAT I CARE ONE IOTA ABOUT WHETHER I'M ACCEPTED OR NOT... I DO IT FOR ME.  smile-wink-nod.

Here are the official rules…

~ Link to the person who tagged you.
~ Mention the rules.
~ Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
~ Tag six other bloggers by linking to them.
~ Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they’ve been tagged.

P.S.  I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE TALL CUP OF STARBUCKS COFFEE, YESTERDAY...SINCE I DID VOTE.  STRAIGHT TICKET, BY THE WAY.  I AM, NOT A STARBUCKS COFFEE DRINKER...IN FACT, I THINK I ONLY WENT ONCE, JUST TO BE COOL AND SAY I TRIED IT... SO, FEELING LIKE A HOTSHOT, I TOOK A DRINK OF THE EVER-SO-TRENDY COFFEE...  ONE SIP.  JUST ONE SIP... IT TASTED LIKE LUKE-WARM, REHEATED ASHPALT.  I WILL NEVER, NEVER, EVER GO THERE AGAIN FOR COFFEE...NOT EVEN IF IT'S FREE.  I THREW IT AWAY AT THE GAS STATION.  I ALMOST TOOK A SNAP OF IT LAYING IN THE TRASH BIN...BUT, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE ODD...ME SNAPPING MY DIGITAL INSIDE A TRASH BIN.
