Weirdo!

No, I'm not trying to be offensive, I'm calling myself a weirdo! I just wanted to make public some weird things about me...

1. I am paranoid about smells. I can never be certain that my house smells good. If I know someone is coming over, I almost always light a candle, open an air freshener, or make sure I am running the dishwasher--I love it when my house smells like the baking soda in the detergent!
2. Which brings me to my next eccentricity. I LOVE the smell of cleaners. I love the house to smell of Mr. Clean especially! Yum!
3. I love the smell of Play-Doh. Are you noticing a pattern, here? I am a very smell-oriented person. I think Play-Doh must remind me of the innocence of childhood or something. I can be found sniffing some most of the times the kids are playing with it!
4. I love cheese! We used to go and try all kinds of weird cheese in the store. I miss that, we should do it again! I really like warm string cheese. I discovered this once when I took one for a snack and it stayed in my van. It was soft and tasted so much better. Now, I put one in the microwave for 13 seconds and it is delicious! I also love to put a piece of SHARP cheddar cheese between to graham crackers. I even have my kids doing this one.
5. I was bitten by a dog when I was 13. (Yeah, I know, not so weird.) I had to have 12 stitches and I couldn't stand up for long periods or it would bleed, so I had to spend about two weeks laying around and reading. I wish I could do that, now! Okay, so on to the weird part... I was more afraid of dogs before I got bitten, than after! I guess I faced my fear and it wasn't all that bad??
6. I hate shoes. I hate shopping for shoes. I hate wearing shoes. Part of that probably comes from growing up in Florida, that would explain that if I do have to wear shoes, I'd rather wear a slip-on. I hate to have my feet feel enclosed and crowded. I also hate shoes because my feet are so wide that I can't wear very many cute shoes. I'm lucky to find something ugly that fits my feet! I guess I'd like to like shoes, but I just can't wear a lot of the ones that I'd like to, so that makes me hate them! I guess I'm jealous of girls with normal feet. (When Belle was first born, I checked to make sure her feet were narrower than mine! They are!! Thank goodness!)

Okay, so that's it! So, what is weird about you??
