Things nobody needs to know

Here is a list of 10 things that nobody really needs to know.  Some are odd, some are scary, some are funny...you get the idea.  I don't know why I'm posting this, if nobody needs to know, but here goes:

1. Hawkeye, our dog, loves Cheetos.  He comes unglued when he hears a chip bag, and will do ANY trick in his bag for 1/3 of a bite of a Cheeto.

2. Monica can burp the alphabet, or just about any song.  She keeps going until someone makes her stop.

3. We have "something Helper" at least twice a week.  Hamburger Helper, Chicken Helper, Tuna Helper....I get home at 6, what do you expect?

4. Kevin snores.  I mean, wall shaking, curtain waving, foundation cracking snoring.  After 11 years, I can't sleep in a quiet room.

5. Everyone in this house farts.  Yeah, I know it happens to everyone, but around here, it's a huge source of entertainment.  You gripe and yell that it stinks, but you're laughing...that's the kind of warped that we are.

6. Me and Kevin MUST watch CBS Sunday Morning every Sunday.  From 8:00-9:30, don't call or stop by...you'll get a short answer or a dirty look.  We love that show.

7. I'm almost dead.  OK, that's just Kevin assessment, but my normal body temperature is about 97.5, normal blood pressure is 105/52, and my Cholesterol is way low, although I maintain a HORRIBLE diet....yup, I know it'll catch up to me, but for now, it's cool.

8. I watch too much TV.  I watch about 3 hours in the evening during the week, and about 6 hours or so on the weekend days, if nothing else is going on.  A Nascar race can consume 4 hours, so it could reach 8 on a weekend, if the race is too good to walk away from.

9. I am hung up on comments.  There are about 10 journals that I read EVERY day...without fail.  I don't always comment, unless I have something good to say.  Yet, if I post something that I find awesome, I am disappointed in 2-3 comments.  To use the words of my good buddy Russ, I'm a comment whore.

10.  I have been to a "chat meet" as well as meeting a few J-landers.  I've never been scared or disappointed.  I love people.  I can't wait to meet more of you!  Just send me your address and some gas money, and I'm there!  LOL

Good Night, friends!

Hee...you're my kind o' gal, Rachel.  Err...except for the farting thing...LOL

My dogs will do anything for food.  Doesn't matter what kind of food.  Could even be a piece of tomato....if it's people food, they'll do whatever they must to get it.

and....I LOVE Tuna Helper - but the cheesy one, not the white sauce (is it alfredo?  I forget...)  Jesse hates it, so we wait til he goes on his Reserves weekend and eat it...lol.  I haven't bought the Chicken Helper because it's never on sale... :-P

and we watch too much TV too.  Eh, pfft.  So we don't maintain an exercise program.  I'm over it.  LOL

The first chance I get, not only am I buying you a case of your favorite beer, I'm having a farting contest with you. Unfortunately, my best ones come as I'm about to fall asleep.

I have a cat that opens the pantry door to get to the bag of doritos inside.  I cannot figure out how she can pass up all the other things in there to find the unopened bag of doritos and pulls them out and opens the bag to eat them all by herself and yes they are on a shelf so she has to climb the shelf to get them down.  Darn cat ruins the bag for me but how cute she looks with her face and paws covered in cheese.  I now only buy the little kids lunch size bags so she does not get the huge bags anymore.

very funny stuff about 10 thinks we don't really need to know. Your house must smell with all the farts, lol.

Cool entry!!  

I was always jealous of people who could burp words and such.  I can't do it!

I watch WAY more TV than you, darlin'!!  You can't compete with the Toonmeister!!

Comments are always nice to get, aren't they?  

Love,
Russ

P.S.  Big Pete can beat Kevin in a snoring/farting contest any day of the week!!

Awesome list! I love these things. I had to comment to help you meet your "comment whore" quota....lol. I used to always watch Sunday Morning. Something about it is just calming and homespun. I think it was the original host, who's name escapes me at the moment! ;o)
