I'm feeling a little in a blogging slump. I'm tired/lazy, and don't have much exciting to post about. I do have some pictures I need to play around with and I'll post them when I don't feel quite so tired/lazy. But here are 5 random things about me. Nothing thrilling - but I guess since this is my journal, it's good for me to record some of these every-day things.
- I am OBSESSED with towels. I have to use my own towel and it grosses me out when someone else wipes their hands on my towel. And I am obsessed with how towels smell. The thing that grosses me out more than anything else on this earth is a towel that smells like mold/mildew. I have been known to actually make myself sick because of the smell of a towel or washcloth. I am so picky with the smell of towels that I've been known to take my own towel with me on vacations. Oh - and I can't use a wet towel either - like if Cory uses a towel to dry off with - I CANNOT use it too - YUCK!
- I don't really like vanilla ice cream – at least not on it's own. Sure, with a nice hot piece of my mom's boysenberry pie; or if it's with a bowl full of "Brown Betty" (the BEST Hot-Fudge-Cake – I'll need to post the recipe when I'm not feeling so lazy) – but on it's own – I can totally pass it up. This is not something I can say about most treats…
- I blow my nose louder than just about anyone on earth. In fact, in 1st grade I had a cold and I blew my nose - one of the teachers at the school yelled at me and sent me out in the hall because she thought I was doing it to try to get attention. I remember crying because that was just the way I blew my nose!
- I really enjoy going to movies by myself. I love sitting wherever I want, not having to share the popcorn (and being able to put as much salt on it as I want!) - and I just really enjoy the time to myself. In fact, after a long hard day with the boys the best thing Cory could do for me is to offer to watch the boys while I go to a show by myself. Sometimes I feel guilty, but for the most part I feel relaxed - like I've gotten to escape for 2 hours.
- I don't love wearing my wedding band…that sounds horrible – but I just feel claustrophobic with rings on my fingers (especially when I'm not 'skinny'). It's right up there with how sometimes when I'm wearing my hair down I also feel claustrophobic and just have to pull it in a pony-tail…I guess I'm a bit of a freak.

You are too cute. I love reading more about you. And you should post the recipe. I think you made it for us the first time we went to your house to visit, and Troy still talks about it all the time:)
the towel thing makes me laugh.
I think a movie by myself sounds heavenly
And don't feel bad... I rarely wear my wedding ring... makes my husband sad but I just don't like things on my fingers... and I hate the click click click it makes when I'm trying to type and my ring keeps hitting the keyboard.
And a Vanilla ice cream cure? Come visit me and I'll take you for Blue Bell homestyle Vanilla... so gooooooood!!
I like a movie by myself. I hate others comments . Its my make believe time. I still love Brave heart.
I love your honesty on your blog. love grandma Marilyn
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels claustraphobic with their hair down. I can only stand it for a little while, then I have to put it up so it will stop touching me and get off my ears. Glad its not just me! :) Love you. Alicia
WOW - I had no idea we were so much alike. I'm sure your mom can tell you how psychotic I was about my towel when I was growing up (I still am - I've always taken my own towel on vacation and cannot stand using a towel that someone else has used or that smells funny).
I spent a lot of my tween and teen years alone on Friday nights watching movies alone. I still love it. This week I just discovered watching movies by myself on the laptop. Mr. Magoriums magic emporium ! ! ! A Great MOVIE - and I don't like to share my popcorn.
I also could never wear rings. I have lots of them - like 3 different wedding rings and I wear them for a couple weeks, then I just can't.
I do like vanilla ice cream though. sorry.
I love you just the way you are... :) Aunt Charlotte
too funny! I hate stinky towels too... and wash rags in kitchens!! Ick!
Funny about your loud nose blowing!
and ditto on the vanilla ice cream - I only like it with CHOCOLATE.
I'm not wearing my rings at the moment because either I gained too much weight with my pregnancy or my fingers swelled up the first month. I took them off and I haven't been able to get them back on again.
I have to agree with maryruth - blue bell does an amazing vanilla - we're spoiled in Texas I think. Vanilla is actually my favorite - sorry. Although it is a bit better with cookies or sherbert.
