In a recent entry in Mom's journal, she stated several reasons that she's unique. I guess we all are. But, if we ALL are, doesn't that make unique normal? Am I over thinking this? Yup, you bet I am. How are you weird, unique, odd, or strange? Here's my list:
I am 37, yet play hide-and-seek with the entire family for an hour or more, and enjoy it more than the kids.
I let a huge, hairy dog lie on the couch next to me, then curse while lint-rolling the hair off the couch.
When listening to music, I alternate between Trace Adkins, REO Speedwagon, Travis Tritt, Kid Rock, Fleetwood Mac, Merle Haggard, Elton John, Sara Evans, and...shall I go on?
I watch too much TV, and tend to ignore the phone, even if it's a good friend, if a favorite show is airing a new episode. I WILL call them back later, but please leave a message, I'm watching something good. I assume a good friend will understand.
At the age of 37, I feel weird if I go more than a week without talking to my Daddy, even for a few minutes. Even if it's about his newest tractor implement project.
I have as many on-line folks that I consider "friends" as I do "friends" in real life.
I get giddy and child-like about wearing new socks. Thick, soft, warm new socks. I can run faster and jump higher! I love new socks. New socks are better than a new sweater/blouse/top.
I think that re-gifting is OK if you'll never use it and they would love it. I never get gifts that I'd never use from folks who really know me.
Dust is OK, clutter is unacceptable. Dirty dishes are evil, clean dishes stacked in the drainer for 3 days is perfectly fine.
I'll wear jeans more than one time before washing, but a sweatshirt is foul after one use, even if worn over a Tshirt.
OK, there you have it. I'm weird, and that's OK. I like me.
