7 things

I've been tagged a couple of times but have always forgotten to respond. With all the empty time I have (at least for 3 more days) I am finally accepting the tag. So here are 7 things you may not know about me:

1. I do not like cereal. It's the milk and the sogginess that gets me. And a childhood nightmare of having to eat the many awful forms of Chex. If I am forced to eat a bowl of yuck, the only one I choose is Go Lean Crunch.

2. I didn't go to my senior prom. I had been dating a guy (who I later realized was the biggest waste of my time) who had just left on a mission. I stayed home that night with my parents and younger sister and had a great time. I did go to prom sophomore and junior year...so don't feel that bad for me, although it was with the loser guy.

3. I have had this oddity of counting the numbers of letters in words and words in sentences since I was young. I unconsciously tap my fingers to the syllable of words or sentences and count based on how may letters or words are in each beat. Weird, I know. (that last sentence has ten letters and can be counted with 3 fingers taps)

4. I love doing things alone. Going to movies, shopping, eating out, watching tv. It so relaxing for me.

5. I taught aerobics for a short time and really want to become certified to teach group fitness.

6. I voted for Bush. Twice. And really regret it.

7. I cannot watch scary movies or police shows because I get nightmares.

I think everyone I know who blogs has already done this post...except my sisters Christy and Angie.

Interesting, and glad you accepted! I do a similar thing with syllables and tap it out with my toes. Yep, I'm that weird too. Glad I'm not alone!

Weird, no way!!! Just you. I can relate to the cereal thing, doing things by myself, I like not having anyone say" Do you really like that" "or do you need it". I do though enjoy shopping with you.Similiar tastes and that is such a cool bargain, look what we can do with it!!! The tapping thing, definitely not me.

I didn't know the tapping thing, sort of cool...and lovely I've been tagged. I think I already sort of qualifiy as having done this with my random bits of Angie no one knew much about...but I'll try again.
