I’ve been tagged! Which is very exciting! Because it means someone has read my blog! (Or, at the very least, someone knows I have a blog – either way, it’s progress.)
Specs got me for the “7 weird things about me” meme.
1. I have an inexplicable desire to own a pet turtle named Pablo.
2. I am one of those obnoxious eaters who can’t stand for the different types of food on the plate to touch. As a result, I often find myself using three or more separate pieces of dishware in one meal. Also? I eat one thing at a time, in order of least favorite to most favorite, and I always turn my plate so that the thing I happen to be eating at that moment is directly in front of me. Apparently, I’ve always done this. Right, Mom?
3. I do not like – and by do not like, i mean HATE – to fly. (This is on my mind because I have to fly tomorrow. Wish me luck.) I would much rather drive for 42 hours to get somewhere. And yes, I realize that this is statistically irrational.
4. When I was very small, I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. This lasted until I changed my goals to become a Dallas Cowboys player. Why Dallas? I have no idea – I can’t stand the Cowboys.
5. The sound of people filing their fingernails just about makes me nauseous.
6. When I set an alarm, the digits in the minutes have to add up to the digit(s) in the hour. For example, my alarm set for work is at 5:41 AM.
7. My favorite movie ever? The Cutting Edge. I even tried ice skating lessons once, but quickly realized it was not for me. I think it was one of the few things in my life I quit halfway through.
Now, I’m supposed to tag people. I still think I’m relatively new in knit-blog-land, so I don’t know if I’m going to tag someone who’s already played…or if the people I tag will even know! Oh well – c’est la vie! Here goes – I tag Leah, Sarah, Nuttnbunny, and Ashley.
Oh, and because this is a knitting blog, here’s a picture of yarn.
Specifically, Classic Elite Skye Tweed for Ester – I’ll be casting on this weekend on my trip. Stay tuned to see pictures of the Top Secret Graduation Gift after it’s unveiling…

My middle child eats like you, I’ve been hoping he’ll outgrow it.
