1 - The toilet paper must be put on the holder a certain way. I hate reaching for the toilet paper - especially in the dark - and not being able to find the end. When it dispenses from the front, I can always find the end. It's very important.
2 - My face is totally disproportionate. I mean really lopsided. One side is considerably higher than the other. Thus, glasses look totally crooked on my face - but it's not the glasses - it's my face. Look at the picture below - see how much higher one eyebrow and eye is than the other? Nice. I think I figured out where I got that quirky trait. At my grandfather's funeral there was a picture of him in the military. You know, the picture of a sweet young face all decked out in uniform. So, his eyebrow looked much like mine. I love my grandpa and miss him dearly, and now when I look in the mirror instead of thinking - What the heck? - I think, Oh, grandpa.
3 - I've never colored my hair. Never. I know, it's weird. I should take the plunge, but I don't know if I ever will. It's almost turned into a phobia for me. Is there an official name for "the fear of changing your hair color?" Let's call it erythotrichophobia.
4 - I hated kids before I went on my mission - then I came home and got a degree in Child Studies. Weird, but true - I really didn't like kids. Now, I'm a teacher and have children of my own. Isn't it amazing how the Lord can mold us into someone better when we give our lives to him?
5 - I have a serious addiction - to Cherry Cordials from Farr's Candy. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I never have - but I could.
6 - I can't wear earrings that dangle. Why? Because the holes in my ears are totally crooked. Loop earrings hang off one ear and touch the lobe of my other. It looks silly - so I usually don't wear earrings. Ben bought me a really nice pair of earrings - you know, gold and diamonds - I actually repierced one ear so that I could wear them, but it grew back in because I just don't wear earrings enough.
7 - I admit to being a collector of scrapbook supplies. Do I scrapbook? Not much. Do I have enough scrapbook stuff to create an unlimited amount of books? Yes. The sad thing is that with this blog, I will scrapbook even less. Oh well. I love cute paper and embellishments - what can I say?
So, I guess now I get to tag others - well, I tag Nicki B., Camie C., Alisha J., Nicole B., Alisa S., and Jessi A. Have fun!!!

You are hilarious! First off, I have the SAME toilet paper issues. I think to myself, why on Earth would anyone LIKE the toilet paper to come out the bottom? ITs so much hard to reach for, when its on the top, its closer, its easier. It just does not make sense to me.
Second of all, I can't believe that you said you are not pretty. I don't care what you try to talk anyone out of... YOu ARE gorgeous.. the color of your eyes are dreamy, anyone would want them... YOU have a smile to DIE for, and you have amazing hair... the list could go on and on. I have never noticed that your face is uneven, and I still don't think it is.... I think we are harder on ourselves than anyone could ever be. And I think your crazy for thinking that! But I love you! Nad heck I miss you so so so so much.
Ps. I am going to have to try this cherry cordials business...
i'm totally with you on the t.p. love the quirks! and i never noticed the disproportionate face thing either. you are lovely. ben thinks one of his nostrils is bigger than the other so of course i tease him about it all the time. thanks for doing the tag!
YOU changed it! I now I think that response is so sweet! How fun to see traits of someone you love, in you (I still don't see that lopsided thing)... But this was really touching! Wow, I am not sure this is written in english. I am tiiiireed. And now I understand why you and Ben do an early bedtime for the kids. Its different having the Man at a real job. Our kids now go to bed early too. Can't life be exhausting? But great at the same time!
wow, sorry my comments are always so long!
What the heck does it mean to be tagged? I am so not god at this
Okay, one more comment. I have to say that I don't believe that you have never eaten cherry cordials for breakfast. I don't even care for them too much and I have eaten them for breakfast. What does that make me? Oh, well!
