Sara over at the Learning Umbrella tagged me for this meme. Well, she didn’t really tag me. She’s got tag anxiety, just like the rest of us, so she said she wasn’t gonna tag anyone. But then she said that if she WERE to tag anyone, it would be various fabulous bloggers, myself included.
Here the rules of the meme: (1) Link to the person that tagged you. (2) Post the rules on your blog. (3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. (4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. (5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
1. I got maybe four hours total of sleep last night, so I’m a bit punchy right now, which makes it hard to think of another five quirks about me. This is scaring me a bit, because normally I could rattle off at least two dozen quirks about myself in less than ten minutes.
2. I used to bite my nails when I was little. It was so bad that my fingernails were almost completely nonexistent. I stopped by using that nailpolish that tastes terrible. It really works. But now, I bite my cuticles. Till they bleed. I have to wear bandaids to stop myself sometimes. In stressful weeks, I’ll have at least 4 or 5 bandaids wrapped around my fingers. Back before I had kids, when I still worked full time as a graphic artist, one of the guys I worked with nicknamed me Less Nessman because I always had at least one bandaid on at all times. (Right now, by the way, I’m wearing two bandaids.)
3. I saw a sign in a church lobby today that said: “Elizabeth’s Goodbye Luncheon” and thought it sounded like a good title for a poem.
4. I’m almost completely hooked on the TV show, House.
5. Tonight, I overcooked the pork chops by mistake, and I didn’t get all stressed out about it at all. I just shrugged and said “sorry about that” and expected everyone to eat it anyway. And they did. Except my 4-year-old. But she ate most of her broccoli and didn’t whine the whole time, so for her, that’s good.
6. Right now, everyone’s asleep except me.

Well, that’s six things. I’m too tired to tag people. In fact, I sat here way too long just trying to get to six, I’m that tired. So I’m gonna use my blanket “everybody but Doc” tag, and go see if I can find a House rerun before I fall into bed.
‘Night, all.
Okay, that’s wierd. Because while I am not completely addicted to House I LOVE it. I’ve been Netlixing it.
AND I was a nailbiter until my HS sweetheart said my hands were beautiful. From that moment on I grew them out. I only bit to trim them now. HOw gross is that? But my cuticles are an embarassing wreck! I don’t do band aids. I should.
I however, did get sleep last night and didn’t make pork chops so that is where our paths diverge.
I don’t think I will consider myself tagged. My six hundred quirks are all on my blog anyway. I”m an open book, I”m afraid.
Thanks for taking my Un-tag!
I always overcook everything and my family has come to accept the fact that “it’s what’s for dinner”.
1. I hate it when that happens, it’s never good to do these things when your punch drunk becasue you usually wake up and notice how you mispelled blank or you meant to say blank.
2. I still bite my nails personally, they need to be short anyway. And I also bite my cuticles too, if they’re bugging me enough.
3. It does sound like a good poem title.
4. I can’t completely agree with that oen since I’m still trying to find the beginning, I’m a tad picky abotu watching shows from the beginning so that I know everything that’s gonig on in them.
5. That’s not that bad, pork is a difficult meat to cook, but better overcooked then undercooked.
6. That happens to me a lot.
I really just wanted to pop up and say I’ve been reading your blog before I decided to attempt to start my own, and I find it funny, and enjoy reading it when you update. I can’t accept your tag however, since I doubt even six people have even seen my own blog.:D
Sara, thanks for the un-tag.
Maria, whoa…we’re like the same. Except you’re better rested.
Debbie, Thanks for the kind words. I’ll be popping over to see your blog quite soon. For now, though, (with a nod to Robinella) it’s time for me to go flash-fry something for our evening meal.
