I Have Been Tagged...Quirks and All!!!

I was not going to post on the weekends... primarily due to the sleep deprivation from keeping up with blogging the other days of the week. I was soooo good and prepared my posts last weekend for all of this week. I was so proud. And then it happened...I was tagged by my new special blogger friends Miruspeg and Mandy. Those who read my blog know I featured Miruspeg on my "Three Sites To See" post. Mandy is a great blogger friend who follows my blog and I faithfully follow hers! I am honored to get this so now I must share 7 random and/or weird facts about myself.



So..here goes.

1. Quirky: I love calendars. I love them so much that I cannot keep one for more that 3 or 4 months. I depend on an appointment calendar for work appointments. I hate using a pencil. A smart person would use a pencil then erase cancelled appointments. Noooo I use a pen then have to scratch it out or mark through and label cancelled. Then, I don't like the mess on the page so I use white out. So, you see I want the week of appointments to look neat but there are often so many changes. When it starts to look messy I go buy another wonderful new calendar and start again.

2. Quirky: Sorry to cat lovers and I know I recently posted about the cat who loves my dog..but...I am afraid of cats. I guess they know it because as soon as I am close to one the cat always hisses..(if you listen closely you can hear me making that awful sound). I have been attacked by several very nice cats. I have been known to leap over furniture to escape cats!!

3. Quirky: I take care of my morning routine in exactly the same order every day. If something like a phone call interrupts me and I miss a step then I forget to do something important like..apply deodorant...take my medication...or even makeup! I even put my contacts on in the same order...right first then left.

4. Quirky: I am highly sensitive to other people being embarrassed. Therefore, I have much difficulty watching certain sitcoms...it is just too embarrassing. My top "can't watch" shows/movies are..."I love Lucy" (Lucy)..."Laurel and Hardy" (Oliver)..."Frasier". (Frasier).."My name is Earl" (Earl) ..."The Office" (Michael) and I hate to admit but "Seinfeld" (George). I do have a friend who says I need serious counseling because I can't laugh at these characters "most embarrassing" situations. I do have to say though...I am getting a kick out of the "Not Me Monday" posts. These are too funny! I try not to laugh but...sometimes I have too!

5. Random: I love the tried and true "Chick Flicks"!!! Here is my all time favorite list...(do not mistake these for Lifetime movies)...these are the major motion picture chick flicks!.

When Harry Met Sally, While You Were Sleeping, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Leopold and Kate, Ten Things I Hate About You, Knights Tale, How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, Pretty Woman, Serendipity, Officer and A Gentleman, Dirty Dancing, Return to Me, American President, Goodbye Girl, Always, Shall We Dance, Runaway Bride, Love Actually, My Best Friend's Wedding, Bridgette Jones Diary, Mama Mia.....see the theme?

6. Random: Number Five makes me think of the "Men of Film" that I adore and would see any movie they make. This will age me I feel sure but...I've been tagged so I feel obligated.

Richard Gere, Harrison Ford, Patrick Swayze, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, the late Heath Ledger, and did I say Richard Gere...oh and there's Richard Gere!

7. Quirky: I love the above movies so much that I know most of the lines. Almost everyday I experience some situation that a great line from one of these movies and others comes into my head and I feel compelled to "sometimes" say it out loud. If I am with family I "always" do it. I do have some pride and some amount of decency so I try to temper this quirkiness as often as I can. I even like to play movie line trivia..say a line and guess the movie.

Okay, I have to admit at first I did not think there were 7 quirky things that were worth posting but now I realize how quirky I might be...my husband joyfully helped me with my list!!
