Top 10 Slightly Odd Things I Do
- Go check the mail. Everyday. I love it, and I get a little miffed if someone else gets to it before I do. I'm like a little kid running out there!
- Choose which book to read based on how it feels in my hands. By this I mean if there is more than one edition of a book I'm interested in reading, I'll pick the best sized one. They're usually the older, hard backed ones.
- Read Wikipedia articles. I don't do this as much as I used to, but I love it! I love it because the more I read, the more I know. And the more I know, the more I'll be able to participate intelligently in conversations. And that's a good feeling.
- Check on my flowers everyday. Sometimes I make a special trip of it, sometimes it's in conjunction with checking the mail. I only go out to look at how pretty they are. I don't do any weeding or watering (the sprinklers take care of that). Well, I guess I do some weeding... once the weeds are way taller than the flowers.
- Share odd stuff about myself online. I taught a mini class on blogging a week ago and realized just how odd that really is! I got a lot of weird looks from people when I told them what kinds of things were on my blog. Oh well, I'm comfortable with it!
- Download a bunch of digi-scrapping supplies... and then never use them. A couple months ago I knew I wanted to get into digital scrapbooking, so I found a couple freebie sites and started downloading papers, fonts, word art, templates, embellishments, etc. The only problem? I had NO idea how to use them. But I kept collecting knowing I'd figure it out later. Then I discovered another problem, hard drive space. I had unknowingly filled the rest of my computer's hard drive with all my stuff. I had 25GB of supplies! Yikes! Well, I've figured out how to digi-scrap on PSE and I've slowed down the downloading. But it's still a temptation.
- Sniff my cat. I have never had such a good smelling cat before. She has beautiful, soft, fluffy fur that always smells so nice and clean. I am selective about where I sniff her though.
- Peel a grapefruit and eat like an orange. I'm not sure if this one is odd or not. I haven't seen anyone else do it and my husband gives me really weird looks every time I come over to the couch with a plastic bag and a whole grapefruit.
- I organize my clothes according to color... but only in the closet. It's too much work with the folded clothes.
- I talk to my cat. Sometimes we meow back and forth; sometimes I talk, she meows. This one might not be just me either, but it sure feels weird when I do it.
I'm w/you on the digi-scrapping. I can't say no!!
ReplyDeleteI love checking the mail too. Not sure why. Jeff got to it first this afternoon and it bugged me. I also love checking on my flowers and just looking at my garden. I feel such great pride in those things. When I first start digi scrapping, I downloaded most everything. Then as I got into it, I got extremely picky realizing that there is so much out there and deleted some of the ones that I have no idea why I downloaded in the first place. And lastly, I organize my clothes by color too. Just makes things nice and easy. I feel like a blue shirt today so I go to the blue section.
ReplyDeleteThat must be why we're friends, Kristi! We're so much alike! :D
