5 things you may not know about me...

[Missy]

This has been fun in the past, thought we'd do it again, since we have a few new members we can learn new things about and share about ourselves...I'll go and anyone else who wants to add their five things please do!!

1. I have a pretty severe case of OCD. Can't leave the hose just once. I have to go back in and check all my "hot" appliances and make sure they're off. then i gotta go back and make sure i paid attention correctly the first time. I have several mental health issues but this one is one i havent' talked about much.

2. I have two piercings and a tattoo. going for more tattos this year. A cancer ribbon for my mom (lymphoma-green) and one for mil (breast-pink)

3. My brother and I have been paying my mom's treatment bills. We don't want her to stress out about paying her hospital. That won't help her get better at all, so we have taken that on. She just has to concentrate on getting better.

4. I am obsessed with chickens...

5. I always have at least a half dozen projects going at once, ALWAYS!

WOW dont know what to say, first off it's great that you can be honest, it's awesome. Ok now about me.... hummmm....

1. I hate the cold weather, I will sit inside all day because of the fear of freezing when I go out, if I do go out I need normal clothes, 2 sweatjackets and my winter coat and gloves.

2. I limit the shower time, gosh how frugal is that? 3-5 minute showers is all I allow or 3-5 minutes running the bath water.

3. I have a ladybug tattoo on my left ankle, I got it caus DH got a scorpio tatoo and didnt want to look like a chicken

4. I am a counting fanatic when it comes to money, I always know to the dollar how much money is in the bank and how much is left over after each paycheck.

5. I remember numbers very well, I know all my kids, mine and DH SS#'s, my Debit Card number and DL# all by heart (H&R Block asked me to take their tax course) lol

There probably are more but that's all I could think of at the moment.

1) I am deathly, deathly afraid of automatic car washes. It makes me anxious just to think about it.

2) I've seen every episode of CSI at least 5 times. I'm fairly certain I could kill someone and get away with it.

3) My favorite color is navy. It's so classic and beautiful. I have tons of navy clothes.

4) I consider myself a very conservative Republican, but I support the legalization of drugs.

5) DH and I have had our kids names picked out for over 10 years now. Mind you, we don't actually have plans to start trying for another 5 years or so, but we still have the names picked out. They're super secret and not words you usually hear as first names. Nothing completely off the wall, but still very unique. I was reading the birth announcement section of our local newspaper a few months ago, and there was a little girl with the name we have picked out. I cried.

[AheeK]

All righty, I'll give it a go...

1. I skipped kindergarten and started Grade 1 when I was 5.

2. I've been obsessed with gardening and cats for as long as I can remember.

3. Tonight I bring home my brand-new treadmill; I've wanted one for 13 years.

4. I was in a marching band for 5 years.

5. L. M. Montgomery's "The Blue Castle" is my favorite book, but she and C.S. Lewis are tied for my favorite author.

[Michelle68]

Hmmm, let's see...

1.) I dropped out of high school. When I was a junior I missed too many days of school because I had to have surgery. I didn't want to repeat a year of high school so I took my GED, did well on the SAT and started college a year early.

2.) When I was very small, my great grandmother gave me a book of saints. The paintings of the saints were so pretty that I decided I wanted to be a saint when I grew up so I could get a pretty picture in a book. Then I soon learned to read and realized that many of them were martyrs who died really horrible deaths. I quickly changed my career choice.

3.) At the library I'm always checking out romance novels and personal finance books. I'm usually reading two books at once. Oh, and I have a bad habit of reading the end of the book before I get there.

4.) I'm pretty good at throwing a football. I can throw a mean spiral with pretty good distance.

5.) I can touch my nose with the tip of my tongue.

I have a thing on my myspace page that lists 29 random facts about me. Here are five of one (some are on my myspace, others are not)

1. I do not do laundry or iron(I tried once and changed the color of clothes), nor do I do hardly any housework. The hubby and kids all do the vast majority - I mainly oversee their work.

2. I have fallen asleep mid sentence while talking to my grandmother, more than once.

3. I have the same birthday as Jackie Kennedy, Beatrice Potter and Sally Struthers.

4. Everything I do has to be in sets of 3 - my son has the same obsession except he does things an even number of times.

5. I have no feeling in my feet, calves, and hands.

[3-boys-4-me]

Well, I guess this is the time to come clean.
1. I, too, have been diagnosed as OCD. I go to the car. I come in the house to make sure the curling iron is off. I go to the car. I come back in to make sure I blew out the candles, even though I know I didn't light any. I go back to the car. I come back in to make sure the coffee pot is off, even though it's on a built in timer. Then I leave and get 1/2 way up the road and have to come back in to make sure the doors are REALLY locked. Whew, now I can really leave. Then I worry that there's something I didn't check. I really need to get back on my medication. Typically this only happens when I am going to be gone from the house for awhile. Oh, I guess I should mention that I can't even leave the house until it's completly clean. Nothing should be out of place.
2. I have 3 tattoos. One of which is a pig on my wrist.
3. I love nothing more then to have a house FULL of food. Food is like a drug for me, even though I eat very little of it.
4. I drink, too much. Another reason to get back on the meds, I didn't do this when I was on them.
5. My father left my mother almost 5 years ago, after 34 years of marrage. I haven't seen him since and I am very angry at him. They still haven't gotten a divorce.
I could go on...but I won't bore you all.
