6 Peculiar Things About Me
1. As a little kid I was super shy. In the first grade my teacher, Mrs. Nash (pronounced Mrs. Naaash in west Texas), told my parents that I was the "sweetest, quiet little girl." I don't remember being afraid to talk, but just that I didn't. I guess I outgrew that one... no one in high school believed that story about me.
2. One of my biggest pet peeves is a messed up rug. I hate when the bathroom mat is wrinkled or turned up on the corner and someone is just standing on it like they don't even notice. Its even worse for a kitchen or living room rug, just more than I can handle.
3. I laugh out loud at the Daily Show (with Jon Stewart). Caleb always thinks this is funny since I don't laugh out loud at TV often and he always does, but since upgrading our cable, I have watched this show often and I just can't help myself. I think that we should all be able to make fun of ourselves more often and I love to see politicians be able to take a joke, or make one. I find Jon Stewart quite enlightening.
4. I am an extremely picky eater. There are entire food groups that I won't even touch. As I have gotten older, I will try things at least once, but sometimes end up spitting them out.
5. I hate toothpaste, and Caleb says it is peculiar that I get my toothbrush wet before I put toothpaste on it. When we got married a single friend asked me if there were things about Caleb that surprised me, and I said, "Yeah, he brushes his teeth with cold water." She and he boyfriend then asked what water I used to brush my teeth and it turned out that I was the weirdo. I somehow manage to use toothpaste as much and I hate it, but sometimes it makes me gag so much that I puke, especially when I am pregnant.
6. I repeat myself a lot lately because sometimes my thoughts are so loud in my head that I can't always be sure whether or not I said something out loud or just thought it. My sister and Caleb often have to hear me say, "Did I already say that or just think it?" Does that mean I'm going nuts? Not sure, maybe I just don't have enough quiet time for my thoughts to be heard right now.
I tag Heidi, Jamie and Michi because I am dying to see if I would have picked any of the same ones that you do. :-)

Did you tag me Michi or do you know another one? Dang, now I have to pick 6 peculiar things out of my long list? Don't worry, I'm sure Lauritz will be able to come up with 6 good ones. :o)
I love it!! The toothepaste thing is great. I repeat myself often. Does that make us crazy that we can't differntiate between what our thought are and what we are saying? Oh well.
So I have to say that I use hot water to brush my teeth. I also wet my toothbrush before I add the toothpaste. All of that makes much more sense to me. Doesn't hot water clean better than cold?
I wet my toothbrush before brushing, too, but I usually use cold (because it's cheaper than hot...how lame am I?). I love the daily show, too. I love when politicians can laugh at themselves, which is why I love Bob Dole (did you see those pepsi commercials after he lost the presidential race? hilarious).
Whoever doesn't get their toothbrush wet before brushing is the weirdo. Now that I think about it, I use hot water too. Mostly because I'm holding my toothbrush with my right hand, so I have to turn on the water with my left hand - which is the hot water. It just makes sense...
