7 Factors of a Weirdo

If you are tagged, you must firstly post the rules:
*Write 7 strange characteristics about yourself. They interest us all!
*Tag 5 other people at the end of your Post.
*Visit everyone that you have tagged and leave a comment on their blog to let them know that they have been tagged.

1. I love to write grants. I know. I can't believe it either.
2. I love martial arts movies. My husband got me into them and I just really like them.
3. I love rap music. Yes, I am a 24 year old white middle-class Suburban wife. And, I like rap and hip-hop.
4. I like to poke my bruises.
5. Alright, shocker, I know, but I actually enjoy being by myself more than Jed AND Roxanne. No, this does not make me an introvert, I just love to dream and be by myself reading blogs and books and cleaning and thinking.
6. I rub my tongue against the back side of my teeth alot in upward motions and I am OCD about how many times I do that on each tooth. They have to be even.
7. When I am driving, I look at other people's license plates and write the number/letter combo with my thumb again and again. Don't know why, but I do.

A Good Laugh

Overheard conversation in David's Bridal yesterday

Customer to Saleslady while holding up a dress: "Can you alterate this?"
Followed by confused-by-her-own-self facial expression and pause. She obviously realized she had used the wrong word. So she decided to correct herself: "I mean, can you alternate this?"
Followed by completely self-satisfied and confident look of pleasure.

I left the store and thought about how happy I was that she would have her dress alternated.

Got this from a friend today and thought I'd blog it...

The Burg....again

Welp, Jed and I left yesterday after a half day of work and made by 2ish in the morning in the Burg.  We are staying with Ben and Jess (Jed's bro and his bride) and our niece and nephew.  We love them!  

Tonight we're off to see  our girls and guys groups and cannot WAIT!  So far, I've been to the J.Crew outlet and bought a dress...you could say I'm a little excited.  :)

I will blog soon.  

-Jed has been gone to South America for a few weeks....I'll update on that later.  

-I painted the stairwell, kitchen, and living room while he was gone.  This was a serious task with out 15 foot ceilings and painting the walls up to it.  I still can't believe I did it.  

-We threw a shower for Roxanne....no pics though :(  Jed took the cam to S. America

-Work has been INSANE

-My parents moved in to their new house and it's my favorite they've ever had.

-More stuff happened but my brain is fried bc I'm getting older.

-RUMINATE is now a non-profit.

Peace!

Chit Chat

I have no idea how to catch you up on the recent happenings besides to make a list. I'll post pics later. I'm too tired now.
-The play ended. I made some fun friends and had a blast but was so excited to have some normality added to life, UNTIL....
-My dad ended up with a herniated disc in his neck and was in excruciating pain for about 3 weeks. THEN...
-he had surgery. Welcome back to the South, Dad!
-Work has been CRAZY trying to recruit volunteers before school starts and continue writing grants.
-We bought a really great entertainment stand, and couldn't stand it (no pun intended :) ) anymore so we bought a 42" flat screen. Yes, details would be nice, but only Jed understands those in this household.
-Netflix rocks my world.
-The Dark Knight rocks my world (Yay for Heath...he's still the man).
-Mama Mia rocks my world.
-We went to Iowa for a week to visit Jed's grandmother for a family reunion. It was so fun. Pictures are on facebook...check it out!
-For my birthday, hubby took me to see Pride and Prejudice, the play. It was wonderful and even he liked it :)
-My parents bought a really cute house, they move in in the middle of August.
-Jed is going to South America in a few weeks with his dad, I'm beyond jealous. And no, I do not want to talk about it.
-Just read Twilight. Couldn't put it down. I have been casually seduced by Edward, the vampire. Can't wait to read the others, and see the movie!

Roxanne just sent me an e-mail with this link in it. As much as I hate wearing a bathing suit, I am not sure this was the answer I was looking for. Ya'll are gonna crack up.....

Joseph pics!

So I don't have time for a full post. But these are a few in my sexy Cleopatra wig. The play has been so much fun. SO much work. But awesome! My daddy!
The Streets crew came. I was really happy.
