Stuff and things and a mememememememe
♥ Comments (7) ♥
I’d like to thank each and everyone of you who left me a happy birthday message. That was so incredibly nice of y’all! I tried really hard to make sure i emailed all of you back, but i think i missed some of you. I do thank you, email on my birthday made me feel special! Especially since we were getting pounded with lake effect snow.
I’ve got nothing as far as pictures. I need to work on those for you tomorrow. I got the BEST gift from nat’s mom (the snoopy wrapped box!) I’ll show you this week, if i can get Nat to take a picture of it. (it’s at his apt) I drink alot of tea, most of y’all know this about me. Nat’s mom and i drink alot of tea when i am there. She has a fabulous sugar bowl and sugar spoon. I tell her how cool it is everytime i visit Philly. She sent it to me with the matching creamer and my very own silver fancy sugar spoon. It may have been from Nat’s great aunt grace’s house, he says she had a red kitchen. All i can say is i always think it is so special when people will share something old, that has been in their family for a long time. See I had three sets of grandparents ( my dad was adopted) and yet we somehow ended up with very very VERY little to keep in the family and to pass on down. Now you know why i think it is very special when Erin will pass something of Aunt Ida’s to me, and i feel the same when Nat’s family does it. It makes me feel very special.
Ok secondly....GO BEARS! oh yes. the monster’s of the midway will be playing the colts two weeks from today. We came to my parents house to watch both games tonight. My dad has the WALL-O-TEEVEE. He has one of those 60 inch high def lcd tv’s. It’s teevee for blind people. But it’s great to watch a game on. We watched Lovey lead the bear’s to victory and watched tom brady cry in his helmet when the colts came back to win against new england.
And third. i was tagged by Raechel of tinkerblue ( i fear i spelled her name wrong) for the 6 weird things meme. I thnk i did it before but i’ll do it again cause i’m pretty weird. So i share with you more weird things about me.
1. I know y’all know about my irrational fears. This is another one of them. One that scares the daylights out of me. I will not ever, and i do mean EVER ride a bus with one of those accordian extendo thingies on it. I SWEAR it will turn and the rest of it will not follow one day, i know it will happen.
2. I cannot open anything, ever. Bag of M & M’s i tried to open last week 3/4ths of the bag went flinging out. Can of soda forget it. Cd wrapped in cellophane..can’t do it.
3. I too and i believe Erin said this, cannot screw a lid back on right on the first try either. I always cross the threads on it too and it’s always crooked or messed up.
4. I cannot ever sleep in a room with any sort of blinking light. The blinking light will drive me crazy. I will complain about it until you cover it up or make it stop blinking. NO AMOUNT OF TELLING ME IF YOU ARE SLEEPING YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED AND YOU CAN’T SEE IT WILL MAKE ME STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.
5. I hoard magazines. I have an entire stack of sassy magazines. I also have the first 25 (and loads more) numbered Readymades. I have bust dating back to the mid 90’s. I also have punk planets dating back to 1995. It’s quite embarassing.
6. the most important weird thing about me. I do not ever want to be touched on/in my bellybutton. If you try to touch me there i will fight you. You will probably die. This action makes me feel like i have to vomit. This also makes it extremely difficult for me to fish lint out of my bellybutton. And again...irrational fear i know. but i swear your bellybutton can come undone and my guts will come flying out like those cans of snakes you open. And guys...raechel sent me an email describing how her bellybutton OPENED UP and there was a GAPING HOLE there. I wanted to vomit for like 20 min after i read that email. I was also horrified after reading that. Please no bellybutton coming undone stories. or else i’ll have to fight you.

hi jennifer! your list o’ weirdness made my smile. i would hoard magazines if i had the space...but the mention of sassy brought back memories. i used to read it in high school and thought it was the coolest!

Glad you had a nice birthday! Just wanted to give an “amen!” to the whole bellybutton thing. DO. NOT. TOUCH. MY. BELLYBUTTON. My husband doesn’t understand it. I’m glad to find someone with the same feelings about it as me!

You made me laugh.
I hoard magazines as well. Well I did until we moved, they did not survive the downsizing from a house to an apartment. Now I am only allowed to hoard pages or photos from them.
