Thanks Lyndsay!

I was mindlessly going through my Google Reader list and found myself tagged by Lyndsay! So here goes- 6 non-important things/habits/quirks about myself:
1- I've always considered myself to be very logical, mathematical, organized and non artistic, however, in the last few years it has come to my attention that I am actually very unorganized, often illogical, and quite interested in art and artists! I am curious to see if creativity can be learned, I think I have gotten a little better.
2- I am a big rule follower- I follow recipes to a T, I faithfully sleep on my left side when pregnant and take my vitamins, always wear my seat belt, and thoroughly read directions before starting any project.
3- Social situations are stressful for me, but once I get talking it's hard to stop- particularly if I've got some caffeine in me, or if I haven't been around any adults in several days.
4- I'm a junk collector- I keep cute tags from clothing, shoe boxes, jars, pretty catalogs and interesting direct mail pieces, the buttons that come in little baggies on new clothes, bottle caps, ribbon and other things like that.
5- I like to think I'm smart- I would rather someone see me as ugly than dumb.
6- When I empty the dishwasher, I put the dishes away, even if they are not completely dried, because they will dry right? I never considered taking out a towel to dry them until a couple weeks ago when I unloaded someone else's dishwasher and they were appalled that I hadn't towel dried the dishes. Is that weird? Am I really the only one who doesn't do that?
I only like posts with pictures- so here's my 2nd grade pic. Miss B was able to pick me out of my class picture "because I saw those big teeth!" She was kind not to make fun of my hair or outfit- I know she wouldn't be caught dead wearing that in the 2nd grade.

Now I tag Shauna, Stephanie, Leslie, (that's you mom) Katie Prince, Katy McDonald and Keri!

I loved reading all these random things about you! Yes, you are very artistic and creative. I mean we are talking about Katie John, right? The one everyone goes to for advice about scrapbooks and cardmaking and everything else under the sun. You forgot one more important random tidbit about you. You are a great person to ask anything baby about. For some reason, you know where all the best places are to go, the best things to get, cutest clothes....etc. Thanks for answering all my millions of baby pre and post pregnancy questions. Don't worry I will have a million more in the years to come. Aren't you so lucky? Thanks again!

I have to assume you are talking about me and the drying the dishes. I started that when we lived in Calif. so I didn't have mold on my dishes nothing ever dried. So I guess I'm weird. But you can unload my dishwasher again I don't mind.

Ashley, I'm so impressed I got a comment from you! It was your dishwasher but Kyle was the one who seemed totally appalled- I guess I can see how they could get moldy somewhere that isn't so dry- I don't think it's weird that you dry them though, (probably a good idea anyways) I just never thought of it before!

Shauna said...

K I'll do this some day I promise.

Oh and I don't dry my dishwasher dishes...my dishwasher does that for me.

This was fun to read :)
