In the past couple of days I have been tagged by 2 different people. First I was tagged by Holly at Walking In My Shoes. She tagged me with the 7 random or weird facts tag. Now I know that I have already done this but because I like her so much I will do it again with 7 different things.
1. I always tuck my thumb in between my first and second finger. I don't realize I am doing it--but I do it a lot.
2. I love cold cereal. I like all kinds. I would eat it for every meal if I could.
3. I have a very sensitive gag reflex. When I brush my teeth--I gag EVERY TIME!! If I smell B.O.--I gag. If I see or hear someone spit--I gag and sometimes puke. I gag a lot!!
4. I love to read. I read all kinds of books. Reading is a passion for me and when I start a book I pretty much can't put it down until I finish it.
5. I hate to have boogers in my nose. I am constantly blowing my nose to get the boogies out. I CAN'T stand it!! I also have to take the corner of the tissue, roll it into a q-tip of sorts, and twist it around inside each nostril so that they are all cleaned out. My mom thinks it's gross and can't watch when I do it.
6. I can't ever let the gas tank in my car get past 1/4 of a tank. If it does I FREAK OUT!! I ran out of gas once as I was turning into a gas station. Luckily there was a Police Officer behind me and he pushed me and my light blue slug bug across the street and into the station. Ever since that day I am terrified to let the tank get below a quarter of a tank.
7. I love real crime shows. I should have been a CSI (and not the fake ones on TV either). I am obsessed with these things.
Now on to the second tag. I was tagged by Mindy at Ladybug Farm. Her tag was to grab the book that is closest to you. Open it up to page 56 and type the 5th-10th lines. The book that was closest to me is Breaking Dawn (sorry Kristina) because my sister-in-law just returned it and I haven't put it away yet. Here is what is says:
"The music changed, and Charlie tapped Edward's shoulder. It wasn't nearly as easy to dance with Charlie. He was no better at it than I was, so we moved safely from side to side in a tiny square formation. Edward and Esme spun around us like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers."
Now I tag (for both tags) anyone who wants to do them!!
Now for an update. O is still afraid of the tub. Glow sticks didn't work, bath crayons didn't work and covering the drain didn't work. She clawed and screamed the entire time. She also ripped my shirt (and when I say ripped--she ripped the collar almost right off. I had to throw it away). I guess for the next little while bath time will be crazy, I want to commit myself, time around here!!
Be sure that you vote for my "Best Mess"! There is still time. Voting will be over Monday night. Go to 4 Girls And A Burly Man and vote for ENTRY #3!! Thanks for all of the votes that have already been cast! I appreciate all of your support!!

I ran out of gas in the fast lane on the freeway. It was August in Sacramento, aka 100+ degrees. It was pretty much the most traumatizing thing to ever happen to me....
HOLY SHIZ Julie!! I would have just died!! What did you do? Did anyone stop and help you?
My brother used to borrow my car and he would never put gas in it.
He ran out of gas several times. Once, he just left my car at the end of the street and walked home.
I'm not sure how long it was sitting there when my mom came home from the store and asked me why my car was at the end of the street.
I go through the quarter tank freak out myself.
Okay your booger comment made my gag reflexes COME INTO PLAY! You know I am a gagger too! Thanks for describing the way you roll up the tissue and twist in in each nostil! Being a descriptive writer doesn’t help the one with a vivid imagination!
YOU ARE SO FUNNY!
MAWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I knew you would gag Annette!! It's just the honest truth about me--I am a strange duck!!
I love how everyone always apologizes to me when posting something about Twilight. It's OK. I forgive you. ;)
And I let my tank get below 1/4 of a tank all the time. I hate filling it up until I have to, especially since it's freezing now.
I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex too. And, also, so do my kids. So it's kind of a vicious cycle sometimes.
I'm trying to figure out something else for you to try for bathtime.
I used to have fears when I was a child, and my mom had to be there all the way and help me. You could always try getting a bath toy that is her "protector". But you never know how that'll work.
Just a suggestion. :)
you will probably be pretty glad someday when the world runs out of gas and you have enough to get you somewhere where you can bunker down for the rest of your life ;) I have a running out of gas story, too. It was traumatic for me. But I guess not a very big deal now that I think of it.
I'm sorry about Olumpah still having problems with bath time!
funny! this post has brought out the gas shortage/gag refelx stories in all of us. ;)
Can O still fit in the kitchen sink? WOuld that help for a little while?
Lara-
My kids got it also. How sad for them--I have always hated it!!
Lee-
I think I might just try that. Maybe some kind of doll that can go in the water.
Whitney-
Hahahahahaha!! Only 5 more days until I get to see you!!
Mina-
That is what I am planning on trying tomorrow!
I love CSI shows too and reading is one of the most wonderful things in the world.
I hate boogs too!
I am always pushing the limit when it comes to the gas tank. I know that some times I am running on fumes alone.
Love crimes shows too. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch any lately.
Sorry about O still being afraid of the tub. Wow glow sticks in the tub? My boys would love that! Thanks for the idea!
Hi! I feel so honored you blogstalk me. I'm so used to being the "stalker" instead of the stalkee.
As far as your bath problem goes . . . will she take a shower with you??? I bring my daughter in the shower with me all the time. So much faster!
I'm with you on the 1/4 tank thing. And my Hubby can eat cold cereal ALL HOURS ALL DAY too. This was fun to read!
Hi………
Very cool your blog!
Great! Keep writing…….
Good week
nice to know you better....
That's awesome. I will gag if someone has BO too. Or if someone makes that disgusting snorting noise that probably involves sucking snot from their nose into their mouth (HAHAHA! I just gagged thinking about it!!)
Brittany-
HAHAHAHA!! That happens to me too!!
I totally don't blame your mom for not wanting to look and thinking it's gross. It is gross, but I still like you! :)
Your poor baby! I wonder what kind of odd, scary thought entered her mind. You never know with kids!
I have never run out of gas (knock on wood) and am the same way! I start to panic before it gets too low!!
