Bits and Pieces

So all of this daily posting has resulted in some, um… craptastic less than quality posting.

Well, get ready for another one.
I am finally responding to Mo’s tag.

Six random things about myself:
1. I can not stand the sound styrofoam being rubbed together. The horrible squeakiness actually makes my eardrums cringe. And it brings out a level of anger in me that is unsurpassed even in my worst PMS. One day, a few years ago, I was volunteering at my daughter’s preschool and the teacher brought in a garbage bag full of styrofoam blocks. She thought it would be fun to let the kids take turns hammering nails into each block. I nearly knocked her over on my rush to get out of the building. Funny thing is, she was no where near the door.
2. I drive my husband crazy by putting candy wrappers back into the bag. I know it bothers him, but I can’t stop myself.
3. I hate cats. Hate them. Mainly because they scratch around in their litter boxes and then walk all over your counters. And they are proud of it, you can tell. I think that Newt’s cat obsession might be her way of silently rebelling. Heaven help me in the years to come.
4. New socks and new towels are some of my favorite things. But if I received them as a gift, I’d be really disappointed. Why is that?
5. When I Tivo something I always fast forward the commercials. Except Mac commercials – I watch those. And dream.
6. When I was in first grade my teacher, Mrs. Pitts, caught me picking my nose during storytime. She interrupted the story to yell at me in front of the whole class. I can’t say that her tactics curbed my nose picking, though it did drive it underground. Or at least under my coat.

I tag anyone who is participating in Nanblopomo and needs some material.

    Hilarious! I hate the styro thing too.

    And as for cats, who lets their cat on the counter? Ew. Jeff would have a cow. Mine doesn’t even think of going on the counter. Now my desk and computer are another thing.

    I also fast forward the commercials except the PC/Mac ones. I have to watch them. Even if I’ve seen them before. :)

    Thanks for participating. You’re such a trooper! ;)

    LOL…. I just did two memes in a row trying to keep up with NaBloPoMo!

    Oh- and if you can’t avoid the cats, ours are trained to stay off of counters, tables, etc. A water bottle and some prompt squirts in the face trained them pretty quickly. (The cats came with my husband when I married him- prior to that I was not a cat person.)

    Styrofoam doesn’t bother me as much as balloons rubbing together. A clown making balloon animals is my version of hell.
