Tagged: 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me

Posted in: General

Steve made me do it. 5 things you (probably) don’t know about me:

  1. Diner food (particularly grilled sandwiches and breakfasts) and diners are one of my guilty pleasures. IHOP, mmmm.
  2. I have very soft fingernails and have to clip them back at least once a week so they don’t get bent back (painfully) when playing volleyball.
  3. I had to buy a pair of cheap golf shoes at the course to play a single 9-hole round back in CA because I’d accidentally packed my shoes (but not my clubs) when moving to CO.
  4. I put on a sock and shoe on one foot, then the other sock and shoe on the other foot - not both socks then both shoes. Yes, there is a reason - can you guess it?
  5. When I was 11, I was a giant baseball card (complete with stats on the back) for halloween.

And the unlucky recipients of this blogosphere chain letter: Geof, Eric, Adam, (The Other) Eric and Matt.

    A sock and a shoe and then a sock and a shoe? OMG what are you some kind of circus freak? That is just not normal…not normal at all! Maybe it’s time to talk to a professional about this…

    Oh, and no, I can’t think of the reason. FREAK!

    Sock and shoe -

    If you’re anything like me you have the attention span of a small lemming. This means that half way through the task you will be distracted by the butterfly on the wall and forget that you were putting your shoes and socks on. Stepping out into the snow will alert you that your right foot is dry and your left foot is cold and wet. Without having to change the wet sock you remember and go back indoors and finish the task.

    Am I close? ;)

    I hope you have a relaxing festive season (albeit with part of the family not in attendance).
