The Sewing Mom

During the recent EC outage, many of us were quite bored and didn’t quite know what to do with ourselves. I found myself tagged by one of my new found blogging friends who I met via Entrecard and am happy, even though the outage is over, to now do this meme. Thanks for the tag from Cindi at Moomette’s Mama Mentor Blog.

First, here are the rules:

1. link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

I’ve all ready taken care of #’s 1 and 2, so let’s move on to 6 unspectacular quirks of mine. This would probably be easier if my husband were home so I could just ask him. Of course, maybe I wouldn’t want to know what he thinks are my quirks! Let me see, I’ll just have to come up with these on my own.

1. I love quiet. I enjoy sitting outside and just listening to the breeze (or here in Dallas, the WIND), the birds and simple sounds. It drives me nuts when my husband will suddenly turn on the outdoor speakers and blast me with music, even though he thinks I want the entertainment. I really just want the peace and quiet.
2. I can’t sit and watch t.v. without my hands being busy. I used to sit and cross-stitch while watching t.v., now I sit with my laptop.
3. I hate crowds. Guess that’s why I am not a fan of going to amusement parks. I force myself to go about once a year for my daughter, but I can’t stand it. I don’t like standing in long, crowded lines and many times feel panic attacks coming on when feel like I’m enclosed by all the people. I’ve learned to do deep breathing activities to help keep myself calm.
4. I REFUSE to pay over $40 for any item of clothing. I think it’s insane. I do make an exception if it’s a special occasion item such as a dress for a wedding (like the one I wore to my step-daughter’s wedding) or shoes. My limit on shoes though is $60. I do usually buy quality shoes because I’ve had foot problems in the past, along with surgery on both feet, so I like good shoes.
5. I have a tendency to forget to eat, especially in the mornings. I just get busy doing things and, even though I’m hungry, before I know it, it’s time for lunch. I don’t intentionally skip breakfast, it just sort of happens. It’s sort of like right now, I’m hungry, but I want to finish this post, then I’ll eat. Well, that is unless something else comes up! Don’t get me wrong, I definitely have my coffee, in fact, I usually have at least 2, very large cups every morning.
6. I don’t like white vehicles. Yes, I do own one, but that was not my choice and I’ve complained about it the entire 8 years that we’ve owned that big white van (nickednamed Van-na White). Maybe my husband finally got the hint because for the past year he has been driving it to work.

I am tagging 6 bloggers and fellow EC droppers:

Ellen – All In A Day
Mommie – Mommie’s Home.net
Kelly – Aerten Art
Chilly – On The Bricks
MaryLou – Time2cre8
Kim – Life With Kim

And now, for the final step, I am off to comment on all of the above blogs to let them know they’ve been tagged!
