{introduction - part ii}
i didn't really feel like smiling today. too tired i guess. maybe feeling just a little bit funky. love that my pants hanging on the towel rack made it into this photo. LOL my top is from target (it's maternity but you can't tell and i think it's super cute); earrings from erin elizabeth jewelry (website opens tomorrow. LOVE this girl!). it's day 9 of the {month of moi} and i can't believe i've made it even this far. you can view all of my self portraits here. and speaking of self portraits, the theme for the entire month of may, over at self portrait challenge is introductions. last week i told you a little bit about me and asked who you were. kelli won the little contest but still hasn't emailed me with her mailing address. (if you're reading, kelli, please email me asap! thanks. :) )

1- I never EVER EVER EVER drink an iced drink it's impossible I hate all drinks with ice :) even under a hot hot sun ....

These are great! the world id full of quirky people :P
1. Ketchup, mustard, and mayonaise all gross me out (though if I do eat them with the exception of mustard, they are in very small amounts).
2. I apologize to spiders when I kill them (I don't like them but still feel bad :(
3. I talk to my dog like she's a person.
4. I too treat everything like they have feelings (I have to put by teddybears in a certain way so that they're "comfortable").
5. Sometimes I talk in my sleep. I found out that if I'm in a deep sleep, as I'm coming out of it I kinda say whatever I was in my dream. I would describe the situations but there's not enough room!
Abril
1. I never drink the entire bowl (or cup) of hot chocolate. I'm superstitious !
2. My favourite word is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ! (I hope it's correct in english !)
3. When I close the door (from house or car) with a key I always forget in a second if a turn the key so I have to check twice !
4. During nearly 2 decades I never eat the little "hat" cutted off the boiled egg ! Now I eat it :)
5. Only very few people know that I have some eye sights (visions ?) because I'm sure they think I'm nutty !!! (cccchhhhhuuuut ! it's a secret :) !!)
Have a sweet night full of lovely dreams ! Smooches
1. I am a horrible speller. I'm a graphic designer and have sent out postcards with mistakes!
2. I can't eat leftovers. They gross me out, I can't even drink milk when the date is today.
3. I can't eat the last bite on my plate. I have to leave a little something there. I must have wasted a TON of food over my lifetime.
4. I can talk inside my mouth, you can totally understand me when I talk with my mouth closed.
5. I have parts of both legs that are numb and I dont know why and am too lazy to go to the doctor!
Haha, great one! i loved to read everyone's posts. i recognize some them, so... only 5? well here's 'the best' of me:
1. I always read the last page of a magazine first (next week in...) and i rip inspiring images out, even from magazines that belong to cafés... shame on me
2. I have to write things down, or else i will forget it. especially dates and times. i always carry around a little notebook and a pen. if i forget the book i write everything on the top of my hands, but then people always ask me what i wrote on them.
3. speaking of hands, i hate mine! they're always sweaty, but in an abnormal way. i always joke that in a past life i was a garden hose. Ii love working with paper, but sometimes i just can't because of my hands. positive side it that they can get really hot and I can 'cure' back pains. my mom is very glad with this, ha!
4. My favorite drink is this strawberry-milk kind of drink. I always have 3 or more bottles in my fridge and I always drink straight from the bottle. I even drink this in the middle of the night!
5. I dream a lot. Everyday i have had at least 4 dreams and i always remember them. (see how this contradicts with number 2?) most of them are scary ones, but it kinds of fascinates me anyways.
Wow! There are quite a few people that have the same quirks as I do. Makes me feel better. Here are some that I don’t think anyone else has said (I don'tknow if I should be happy about that or not)
* I like to eat my Jell-O (especially cherry) mixed with milk.
* I am a terrible back seat driver. I even had my own ‘back seat drivers license’ when I was younger. Imagine feet on dashboard type of back seat driving. If I don’t drive I usually get car sick (from the stress I think).
* According to my husband I can’t say sandwich – always comes out as ‘sang-witch’
* I don’t like using new things. If I buy a new rug it usually sits in the bag because I don’t want it to get dirty. If I buy crafting supplies I don’t like to use them because I may just have the perfect project for them later on.
* I like piles. I usually have little (or big) piles all over the place. Drives my husband crazy but I can tell you everything that is in that pile!
Yeah…..I am a mess. LOL!
1) Every time I use milk, I sniff before I pour.
2) I always clip my nails over the toilet and flush them immediately.
3) I always mispronouce Jim Jarmusch's last name.
4) I buy fabric but I don't know how to sew.
5) I am one of those "toilet paper goes OVER the roll" type of people. And I enforce it.
1. I can't eat potatoes without salt
2. I have long hair but never wear it down
3. I eat salt on radishes too & Watermelon (I must be hungry :)
4. I don't like shoes with laces
5. I don't like to have my picture taken
1. Quilts MUST be placed on the bed the "right" way-when you stand at the foot, you must be able to see the design. I can't stand it going on sideways or upside down-I will get up and fix it every time!!
2. I eat corn on the cob with a fork. I learned this from my Gramps and everyone who sees me do it thinks I'm weird.
3. I cannot stand wet socks. If my feet get wet, I am DONE.
4. I will not ride anywhere in a minivan or SUV but the front passenger seat. (I was in two car accidents 2 years ago, within 3 days of each other, both times in a mini van in the SAME SEAT-First set of bench seats, closest to the sliding door- and ended up with a head injury. It freaks me out now to sit there.)
5. I leave the last sip of every drink in the bottom of the glass. I have no idea why, I just do.
I like your self-portrait!
Ok, quirks:
1. I won't look at or read a single page of a magazine until I've flipped through and taken out each and every postcard trying to sell me something and gotten rid of them.
2. All my dogs and cats that I've ever had always have multiple names - first, middle, last names (just like people) and also several nicknames each.
3. I can't stand having the sheets or blankets tucked in on a bed I'm sleeping in. They have to be completely free-floating on all four sides or I Can NOT sleep there.
4. Also I have to sleep with one foot outside the covers. I may have my head buried in the blankets, but one foot will be peaking out.
5. The thought of my teeth, tongue, or lips touching a wooden popsicle stick freaks me out so bad I can hardly type it. (shudder)
- I can't create without making a huge messa around me
- I remember things/events/people through smells
- I love blowing bubbles
- I don't usually remember my dreams when I wake up, but when I do, I realize they're extremelly long, complex and detailed
- I tend to save every little piece of paper, every little scrap of fabric (no matter how small)
Good job with the "month of moi" project:)
