I received my first ever tag today!! Momrn2 from My Quiet Corner (I'm sorry I don't know how to link - I need to learn :-) tagged me to list 9 weird things about myself. I love visiting My Quiet Corner, so I was very excited to be tagged by her!! So, here goes. . .
#1 I love to drink milk, organic 2% milk (the kind with the cute cow on it), with 2 ice cubes in it. There have to be exactly 2 ice cubes in order to keep my milk the correct temperature as I drink it. One is too few, and any more than 2 is much too much. 2 is perfect - for me anyway.
#2 When I go into a creepy and empty bathroom at a gas station or park, I have to look in all the stalls before I will actually go in one and shut the door. I have this odd fear that some crazy man is hiding in one of the stalls. I don't really know where that fear came from. . . weird, I know.
#3 I have to eat something sweet after every meal. Even if it is simply a peppermint or a chai latte, I cannot walk away from a meal without a leaving a sweet taste in my mouth to linger. . .
#4 Now I never do this one in public, and I actually have not done it since I had kids. It wouldn't exactly set the best example. But, the desire is still there. . . When I eat pizza, I like to dissect it. I take all the toppings off and set them to the side. Then, I take the top layer of bread off the crust and eat it, then I eat the bottom layer of crust, and lastly the toppings. Yum! That is how I like to eat pizza. It works best with deep dish (pan) pizza hut pizza.
#5 I LOVE to drink - all day. I drink coffee, water, tea, dr. pepper, green tea, etc. I have a drink in my hand at all times. Now for the weird part. . . I never actually finish a drink. Somehow a Dr. Pepper, once 3/4 of it is gone, just doesn't taste good to me anymore. I even throw out the last little bit of every cup of coffee I drink. At any given time, there are at least 5 drinks half to 3/4 empty waiting for me in my refridgerator. But, I never finish them, never.
#6 When I find out that I am pregnant, I begin praying that God will give me multiples. This is my third pregnancy, and there is still only one sweet baby in there. When I go to my first ultrasound, I always hold my breath as she puts the dealie (for lack of a better word) on my tummy - hoping that there will be more than one in there! Even this pregnancy, I already have 2 children, but I still hoped for twins!
#7 I don't like to shop for clothes. . . or shoes, for that matter. Oh, dear, did someone faint. Seriously, I don't. I never have. No explantation.
#8 I love being pregnant. If I didn't have vein problems, I would honestly love to be 2nd trimester pregnant for the rest of my life. No kidding! When I was pregnant with my first, I found out at my 37 week visit that I was 3 cm dialated. My doctor told me it would only be a matter of days. I cried the whole way home from the appointment. I wasn't ready to not be pregnant anymore. I wasn't ready to not feel him kicking inside me. I love being pregnant. That whole big belly thing is so fun!!!
#9 Sensitive is an understatement when it comes to me. I am SENSITIVE. I don't cry at movies, take for example Facing the Giants, I sob, sob, sob. Going to a sad movie with me can be a bit embarrasing. Sometimes, I even cry for a good while after the movie is over. I always like to discuss the movie afterward, and the tears keep flowing. . . If someone so much as mentions an abused child, or a parent who lost a child, etc., I'll lose it right there.

I can totally relate to the bathroom stall issue and the sobbing at movies, particularly Facing the Giants! My 8 year old son looked at me in the movie and patted my on the shoulder. He said, "Mom, it's okay," with a smile.
Erin, I forgot how quirky you are! (in the absolute BEST way ever) The last one cracked me up; I sob at movies, but I also scream, loudly, whenever anything remotely surprising happens in them. Chris hates it:)
This post made me miss you even more!!
I can completely relate to the crying at the movies. It doesn't matter if it's happy or sad, I just bawl my eyes out if something moves me.
Now, the pizza thing is just plain quirky. : )
These are funny. I am right there with you on praying for multiples.... already do it! :) And I HATE (with all capital letters over and over) shopping for clothes!!!! But I DO love shoes.... the one article of clothing that receives my affection.
And I about died to read your comment on mine about vowels and even numbers!! I'm not crazy after all... they really are better, aren't they?
Love, calissa
Erin, I eat my pizza like this too. It drives my husband crazy. I sometimes don't even eat the topping, but I have to order a pizza with everything on it just so the crust will taste right. Weird.
I don't think I knew that you are pregnant, so first of all, congratulations!!! I am just so happy for you.
Secondly, I understand completely about LOVING pregnancy during the 2nd trimester. Its that point where you feel so good and the baby is moving, and you feel like such a ... woman! =) I cherish these moments between baby and I; its like being in a small cocoon, just the two of us. I love it!
That was a fun list Erin. I don't like to shop either. Isn't it weird?? I think I'm going to be forced to update and replace some clothing soon though. sigh...
#9 is me,too....I get very easily disturbed over anything having to do with children being mistreated...ignored...yelled in Wal-Mart,etc. I get so upset with how parents treat children! Just seeing a child's feelings hurt really bothers me. I have to not watch the news,too...too disturbing to me.
