Queen Shiner over at Shiner's House O' Fun tagged me for another meme. I did a similar one a while back (click here to see it), but thought I'd be a good sport and play again because there are just so many crazy things about the life that is mine.
1. I am a very messy cook, even though I try my darndest to be clean. I just don't know how they make it look so easy on the Food Network. Oh wait, yes I do, its called YEARS of experience...and good editing. I love you Ina Garten.
2. If I am the passenger in the front seat of your car for any road trip over an hour, I will fall asleep. Its just something about the smooth quiet ride that knocks me out. Mr. Baseball hates it. Every time we would take a roadtrip (pre-redhead), he would get so mad when I would doze. Then I would get mad at him for getting mad at me. We would go round and round in circles over him being mad about me sleeping. He just felt like it wasn't fair for me to sleep and him to drive. I would say, "Fine then, let me drive and I won't sleep". Would he ever let me drive? Not really. And there you have it. The only way around being able to sleep during road trips? Pregnancy.
3. I know just about every word to Les Miserables. My dream when I was a senior in high school was to go to Broadway. I know...original isn't it? I wanted to be Eponine and I would totally still do it if I was ever given the opportunity. What is the most amazing part about Les Mis is that every line in the play is sung instead of spoken. Just thinking about composing a 3 hour musical is mind-boggling. Never mind the fact that the score is absolutely beautiful and it has a good storyline too. That's just off the chain people. Unfortunately it is no longer on Broadway and isn't touring to my knowledge. What is the world coming to?
4. I am very good at remembering to take pictures - the only problem is that they never actually make it beyond the computer to actual print form.
5. Due to the problem listed above, I have yet to start anything slightly resembling a scrapbook chronicling the redhead's life. And he just turned 2. I've got a lot of work to do. In fact, while I'm laying it all out on the table, I'll just go ahead and tell you that I haven't scrapbooked one picture of our wedding either - and that was, um (cough) 4 1/2 years ago.
6. **Feminine Issues/TMI Spoiler - if you're the one guy(Hey Steve!) that reads my blog, you might want to skip this one** I, for some reason, only have a period, on average, every 55 days. Yes, you read that correctly. I have gone as long as 2 1/2 months without one. No clue as to why, it just happens like this. Its kind of nice though because I only spend half of what the rest of you do on personal hygiene products.
If that last one was a bit much for some of you I apologize. I was grasping at straws as to what I could list as my 6th amazing quirk.
At least the picture is funny.

16 coins in my pocket:
OK, those food network people--they have people to clean up after them. Measure their ingredients into custard cups. Wipe their faces. You name it. They are not real cooks. I would like to see THEIR kitchens!
Reminds me of the gardener/lawn expert guy from the TV station who lived behind us. His yard??? Not so much.
Next...scrapbooking? Do not print your pictures! Put them in a photo book at shutterfly or snapfish or winkflash. NO MESS! Want them to look scrapbooky? Go to smilebox.com. Seriously. You can download your scrapbook creations to jpeg files, and then use them on blank pages in a photo book. Just an idea!
Oh I am a car sleeper too! We better not take a trip together!..that could be dangerous :)!
Also hearing you on the photo thing. I KNOW I need to print them out....or at least back them up more often than I do!
I loved the tampon picture! That ought to chase poor Steve far, far away :)!
I am a terribly messy cook too. I love to cook but hate to clean up. I leave that to Ryan. He always asks me how I got things so dirty. My answer is always, I have no idea. I'm jealous of #6, although right now I am thankful for the breastfeeding on that one.
One word - "tampoons!"
You and Dennis could get together and sing Les Mis songs...he knows the whole thing too:) He ALWAYS wanted to go see it on Broadway but we missed it.....boo!
I'm terrible at scrapbooking; that's what my blog is for! You know you can make the blog into a book, too, right? That's what I'm going to do when I get around to it!
Oh, and #6.....me too! It was more of a curse when I was trying to get pregnant all those years (charting a cycle...kind of a joke!) now it's a blessing since I'm ALL DONE having kids.
I should use that last photo when my 9 year old and I have "Women's Business Time" talks ...maybe I could somehow work it in that if you have sex before you're , say , 30 - you'll have to use these kind of tampons!
Okay, those tampons are way too cute to use. They almost look as if they could say, "Please don't put me up there!!!"
I'm a passenger-seat-faller-asleeper, too.
I have the first 5 weeks of Michael's life in a scrapbook. The rest is up in my closet, safely stored in Rubbermaid. Michael will be 8 in April. Don't feel bad. Lauren and Emmy are out of luck. I have almost 6 years of pictures stored on my computer. It's terrible.
That was awesome! And uh... my almost 9 year old son still doesn't have a scrapbook about him. I'm gonna find one of those digital scrapbook programs so I can do it on the computer.
And I will TOTALLY sing Les Mis with you. I have the 10th Anniversary Special on DVD which is my favorite performance.
I always fall asleep on roadtrips in the front passsenger seat! My husband hates it, but he prefers driving, too. And, I'm singing On My Own as I write.
I'm with you on #6. Strange, but true. All my girlfriends think I'm lucky.
I can send you digital scrapbooking information if you would like- It is super easy and I am actually upto date on Jacob's. I'm doing one for us and his grandmother... The first year I have done one page each month. Not sure if I will keep up with that though. I do it on the computer then send it off to printed... no mess and SO much cheaper!!
I'm with you on knowing every line to Les Mis. My parents got a video of the 10th anniversary Dream Cast when they donated to PBS forever ago. We wactched it constantly. When the VHS finally wore out, I got the CDs for my dad. It can still make our family a little teary...
You are so normal. Thanks for humoring me..... I did learn a few more things about you that I did not know and things that make you even more endering to me. I loved the tampons. Now who in their right mind would want to snuggle up to even a stuffed version of that? Truly deranged!!!1
Happy Halloween.
Hey! Just a little note about number 6, have your doctor's ruled out Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom? That is what I have and the reason my periods were long inbetween coming. Once I starting taking the specific medicine and the medicine was finally in my system I started having regular cycles which helped me to become pregnant.
Just FYI, if you want more info facebook me or something:)
My cycles are whack. As in, while we were trying to get pregnant the first time, I had one cycle that was 76 days long. It was after that one that I got pregnant with the twins.
I can't believe I just posted that on the scary internet. Oh well.
What am I looking at in this pic? Giant tampons with smiley faces? C.r.e.e.p.y. You go with your 55 days. Some of us are on crappy mini-pills due to high blood pressure on regular pills and have "issues" every few days. It's like a little surprise party everytime I go to the bathroom! Sheesh!
