I was tagged by my friend Bob to create a list of 10 unique or interesting facts about myself that others may not know. I'm not sure if there are 10 or if they are unique, but here I go....
1. I have been a vegetarian for over 1/2 my life. I don't eat meat or fish, but I do eat dairy.
2. Speaking of food, I also don't eat onions, mushrooms, olives, tofu, eggplant, eggs (other than "hidden" eggs---one's that are cooked in something), cilantro, parsley or basil. I have issues with texture; not into spongy foods.
3. I like to be organized. I tend to arrange items in the cabinets and closets according to color (lightest to darkest) and by size (shortest to tallest).
4. I get excited about cleaning supplies and cleaning machines. My favorites are my Little Green Cleaning Machine, Dyson Vacuum and Swiffer. They all seem to make my life easier. This is so ironic considering I got fired from Papa's Pizza in HS for not moping the floors good enough.
5. Speaking of getting canned, I got fired from Wade Hampton Golf Club for going on tour with Phish.
6. I get up all through the night and check the doors to make sure they are locked. I also look out all the windows to check for lurkers.
7. I drove a 1971 VW Bus my sophomore year of college. Trying to get up Black Mountain was quite the feat. I often felt it was going to roll backwards down the mtn. It's a bit scary when you are getting passed by the semi-trucks.
8. I can smell toilet water, I swear.
9. I get dressed in the closet. I can also change my entire outfit without ever showing skin (like we did in middle school gym class...but I still do it).
10. I can put both legs behind my head at the same time and I can put my entire fist in my mouth. Interesting party conversation....
11. My husband, Danny, is two years younger than me. I always joke that I picked him young so I could train him to be the perfect man. I would say it's been 99.9% effective.
12. I fell while dancing with Danny at our wedding. I won't go into the details since most of you witnessed the event.

I never knew that you could put both legs behind your head at the same time or that you could put your entire fist in your mouth. I feel like such a bad mother. I do know that O puts 4 fingers in his mouth at a time though & can put his foot in his mouth really well w/out a diaper on. The apple didn't fall far from that tree.
So the sum total of jobs you were fired from would be... ; ) Hee hee! Love learning more about you!
You're so funny! I had totally forgotten about the wedding incident. You are unique...and that's why we love you!
love this list...i have many quirks myself.
Wow, I never realized that you could not eat most of the stuff on the Papa's menu! Can you eat Killer Stix? Your van was pretty scary and I am so happy that you have been able to find longterm employment. Happy cleaning.
Bob.
(Wow, I actually had to delete my post and repost it in order to correct a grammatical error--I am a prefectionist and that is the curse that I live with. Now I realize that I misspelled "perfectionist" but it is my way of performing self-therepy. Man, that is really going to bother me...)
I don't even have comments for the fist in the mouth and legs behind the head.... especially coming from the person who changes in the closet!
However, I do remember the van from the Phi Mu days :)Glad you are feeling better! And for some reason, my husband remembers you hate cilantro, I think that is too funny!
I wasn't exactly "fired" from Wade Hampton...but I had been hired and never showed up becasue I extended a mini-Phish tour to inclde Atlanta's July 4 show, way back in 1999. Still feel slightly guilty.
