If you would like to link to us go right ahead, I do ask though that if you know us in real life that you use my kids blog names if you refer to them. I don't use them in my blog or the title for safety purposes. Thanks so much!

Oooo Somebody LIKES me! :)

Becky and FluffyChicky tagged me! So I guess I'd better get runnin :)




Random and/or weird?! Ok, I think I've got this :)

1. When I was in college I once stopped and gave a hitchhiker a ride. (it was totally raining, I felt bad for him... and he was skinny and I figured I could take him if I had to... ) I was old enough to "know better" and he was a hippy. Totally smelled of something suspicious, I told him he had better not have any on him, and he said he didn't, I had suspicions but I gave him a ride anyways. He was really weird.

2. Once when I was about ten years old I road my bike about 5 miles to a friends house. If that doesn't sound too bad, I did it to "show" my big sister I would. She was supposed to be watching me and when I asked her to drive me to my friends house she refused... I pestered the CRAP out of her till she got SERIOUSLY annoyed and told me if I wanted to go so bad I should just ride my bike. So I did. Yes, I was a serious PUNK as a kid. (Sorry Win!)

3. I got a navel pierce right after I met Jer and suckered him into getting a pierce too, you know, for SYMPATHY pain. :) BTW both of our piercings are now no more... besides I don't think navel piercings and being hugely pregnant three times would work too well :P

4. I'm way paranoid about window wells :) Check out #3 on that post, I think it pretty much sums up that weirdness....

5. I had about a billion animals as a kid and absolutely loved it, but now in hindsight totally pity my mother for having to go through that!!! 4 horses, 2 cats, 2 birds, and a dog all at the same time would put ME into the mental hospital. SERIOUSLY. My mother is totally wonder women. And my kids will be lucky to have ONE animal at a time... poor poor depraved children!

6. I'm a total perfectionist as far as cleaning goes. So I just don't do it most of the time. That's right!!! Because I can literally take up to three hours cleaning one bathroom. I just don't know when to stop. So, instead of cleaning I now flutter my eyes at Jer and say something to the effect of "oooooooh maaaaaaaaaan, I reeeeeeeaaaaallly need to clean the bathrooms.... SIGH." Then if that doesn't work, I ask him to do it for me the next day while I wipe the counter.

7. I had like fifty kagillion nicknames as a kid. Mostly from my dad :) And some of them were really strange. Let me list some m'kay? (this may enlightened you about some of the names on the poll.) K, here goes.... Pril, Pearl, Aprillium, Scrapper Belly (and alternately "Scrapper" or "Belly"), Scrapperillium, Wretched Child (in response to "Old Man"), Little Retard Girl (here's a nod to my oldest sister!), Egg roll, Apes and many more that I can't think of at the moment.... Seriously!? How many nicknames can a kid have? :D

KK and now I get to touch some peoples lives! Woot.

These are hilarious. But, and I can't believe that I have to ask this, what is a window well? I love all the nicknames, I didn't really have any. Oh, and I worked out again today. I thought the personal trainer was trying to kill me but I'm still alive, and hopefully a few pounds smaller.

Natalie said...

I love these tags because it helps us to get to know you better! Very Cute!

Nat said...

Dang! I'll have to do this, but I don't know if I can think of any other quirks! Hmmm...

A window well is the area outside of a basement window where besically there is a hole where light can get in and people can get out in case of emergency :)

Stephanie said...

I tried my best to do this. I hope my facts were random enough for you.

FluffyChicky said...

Oh, you are such a REBEL with your navel piercing! I thought I was such a naughty girl with my 8 holes in my ears, but I am INNOCENT compared to you. :)

FluffyChicky said...

I have presents for you. Stop on by. :)

FIVE miles!? Are you sure? I recall approximately 2 miles! And I told you it wouldn't kill you!! ha ha! I can't believe I didn't just drive you!
BTW do you remember what Chuckles (parrot) would say? "mom....mom...MOM...WHAT!?!" I remember getting in trouble because Mom thought we were calling her!

Unknown said...

Ahhh good ol' Chuckles... the parrot from Hades. I remember Jo insisting that when he bit people it was just him showing his Luuuuuuv :)

My contribution to that bird? "Aaaaaawww!!! Aaaaaaawwww" as in... 7 year old screams Aw or ouch ever time either sister TOUCHES her :)
