Meme

I got tagged by my sister in law, Melanie, and I am very excited about it. This is my first meme, I am a real blogger now!!! So for my first Meme I am supposed to blog 6 quirky things about myself... hold on here we go...

1. I love pizza, with a passion. I could eat it everyday, much to the dismay of my husband. Order it, pizza buffet, $5 pizza, french bread pizza... but there is one catch. I don't like much on my pizza- the perfect pizza for me has lots of sauce, lots of cheese and some pineapples. Sometimes black olives or tomatoes are okay, I have even learn to enjoy a mushroom every now and then. Meat is really just a distraction from the good part. Canadian bacon is alright with the pineapple but is has to be real crisp Canadian bacon and not just ham and definitely NOT bacon! Very important stuff here people.

2. I hate losing things. Now I know that no ones likes to lose something but I really hate it. It ruins my day, week, possible even month depending on the item lost. I become obsessed with finding the lost thing! Really my family can attest to how silly it can become... I make everyone stop what they are doing and help me search, even through the trash if I think there is a possibility, even if it's slight, that the item may have been thrown away. If you want to show me love, find a lost item for me:)

3. I can not spell to save my life. Really spell check is the best thing that has happened to me and my communication skills. And yet there are some words that I have spelled wrong for so long I have just decided that I will spell them my way. For example: tomarrow... that's how we say it so I have decided that is how I will spell it. It's not up for discussion, tomarrow! Again my helpful family could give you several other examples.

4. I have no hometown. When someone asks me where I am from I still don't know what to say. And I have never answered that question in less then 5 minutes. Now I know a lot of my readers are MKs like I am so this seems normal to you, but let me tell you friends it's apparently NOT. Here in the South it's a one word answer for everyone else. They have a state or a city that automatically rolls off their tongue, they don't even have to think about it. Some people have lived in the same city their whole life- it's unimaginable to me. It's as foreign to me as growing up in Africa is to them.

5. I love warm weather and hate the cold. Now I know this isn't so much quirky but the reason, beyond the obvious, is that I have no internal heating. Most people can throw on a coat, put an extra blanket on the bed and be fine. Not me, I have to have a heater of some sorts. I freeze going from the car to the house and it takes me forever to warm back up. This was Mark's idea because he has to deal with me putting my freezing cold feet on him every single night to warm them up. Luckily for me he is an unusually warm person... we are a match made in heaven:)

6. I had to get help with these last 2, so this is Mark's suggestion... I have a genetic disability that causes me to laugh hysterically when someone falls down. The more dramatic the fall the harder I laugh. I know you think I am cold hearted, it's not that and it's not just me that laughs- it's genetic. My mom, my grandma and various other family member do it too.

So there you go, I have completed my first meme... whew that was hard work! Now I am supposed to pass the meme along so I tag Kara, Letha, Heidi and Tess.
