Welcome to Meme Monday #2.  The idea behind  Meme Monday is that we save up all of our tags and awards throughout the week and then post them each Monday.   Then you come here, to my blog, and sign Mr. Linky to let us know you’ve done your post.  This way we won’t fall behind on our memes and awards and we’ll be able to check out the posts that everyone else has done.

This week I was tagged by Phyl for the 4 things meme.

4 People To Tag
I tried to come up with people I don’t think have done this one yet. If I didn’t tag you and you want to play along- please feel free to do so. So, I’m tagging:
Regina
Rhonda
JennieBoo
Liza

Then I was tagged by JennieBoo.

Here’s the rules for the tag she gave me.

(1) Link to the person that tagged you. (2) Post the rules on your blog. (3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. (4) Tag two random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. (5) Let each random person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their site.

And so- here’s my six things.
1. I stopped biting my nails eight years ago when Rich proposed to me so that I could have nice nails for our wedding.  I started biting them again a couple of months ago.
2. I hate milk.
3. I love math and I used to get excited when I would have math homework because I thought it was fun.
4. I love to read. 
5. People who do not know me often think I am snotty and stuck up when they first meet me.  Really I’m just shy and I don’t know what to say around people I don’t know.
6. Once you get to know me I talk a lot- sometimes a bit too much, or so I’m told.

And, now I tag Jennifer and Grams.

Lastly, I received this lovely award from Zam.  Thank you Zam- you are incredibly sweet and you cheer me up too!

I am passing this award onto Sharon, KC, Pam and Denise.

Now, go and get your memes and awards posted and then come back and sign Mr. Linky!

I have vowed that I will be better about keeping up with my tags and awards, so that is what my post today will be about.  First, I was tagged by KC to do 7 weird things about myself.

Here are the rules:

The rules are for me to link to the person who tagged me, list 7 weird things about myself and then tag 7 others to play along. And also, most importantly, let them know they have been tagged.

Now, I’m kind of cheating on this one.  I’ve done random things about myself several times.  But I have a lot of new readers since I’ve done some of those.  So, I’m looking through my random things posts and picking out some of the weirdest things about myself to share with you.  But, I’m also adding a few new ones for those of my readers who have been with me since the beginning.  Here goes:

1. When I eat I like to make sure that each different food on my plate does not touch any of the other foods on my plate. Then I only eat one food at a time before I move on to eat a different food.  I didn’t actually know this was weird, I just assumed that all people ate like this- but apparently this is a little odd.
2. I don’t like to watch TV.  I get bored and feel like I should be doing something else rather than just sitting there watching.
3. I love to eat brown sugar. Usually I add lots of it to my oatmeal (the oatmeal that comes with brown sugar already in it). But I’ve also been known to eat just plain brown sugar. Yes- all by itself.
4. I don’t like soda.
5. I actually kind of like dusting.
6. I used to write down what outfit I wore everyday.  I don’t do it anymore now that I’m a stay at home mommy because most days I’m home.  But, I would keep track of what I wore so that I didn’t wear the same things too often.
7. I have an obsession with even numbers. When I listen to the radio or watch TV, the volume has to be set on an even number. When I eat something like grapes or M&M’s I have to eat either 2 or 4 at a time. Not that I am eating M&M’s with my diet and all. But, if I were eating M&M’s and there was only one left- I would not eat it.  And also- it really bothers me that I have to end this post on an odd number.

And now if you want to play along, please do so and then let me know that you did so that I can check out your post.
