tagged, i'm it

The Rules: Each player of this game starts with "6 weird things about you". Each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own 6 weird things as well as clearly state this rule. After you state your 6 weird things, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you're tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means.

OOOOOOO, I think I would rather clean the bathroom than do this....can that be one of my 6 weird confessions? I know this is supposed to be fun in a sharing way, but it makes me so squirmy. I was tagged by retro-rosie. So, here goes-- starting with the most revealing bit.

1. When I was a kid, I would pass out when I got in trouble. Literally keel over and wake up in another room with everyone staring at me in a panic. My brothers thought that was an awesome trick.

2. My feet have gotten a half size bigger with each of my 3 pregnancies.

3. I love to take 20 minute naps.

4. My husband taught me how to use a dress pattern when I was about 21 -- my first sewing project using a pattern was a fully-lined wool coat. Before that I made up my patterns and my efforts were surprisingly unwearable. After that, I could sew anything and it looked like I had a dressmaker.

5. My gifts are almost never wrapped. Rarely buy giftwrap as it seems so wasteful. Can't see it any way other than balled up in the trash, but I hoard tissue scraps for art-making.

6. I am very uncomfortable chatting on the phone. Just no fun to gab with that way- especially if I am at the keyboard because I'll be editing files or something. I need the face-to-face part.

I think I was the last person on the craft planet to start blogging and don't know who has done this already-probably everyone. Six people is alot. Apologies in advance if I am repeating this on anyone. I choose Renee, Julie, Fiona, Jan, Lia, and Deb.

Oh my gosh....the wrapping paper thing. I LOVE wrapping paper. Hate wrapping gifts for the same reason you do. On the rare occasion I do wrap a gift (instead of gift bagging) I will sometimes ask my good friends for the wrapping paper back so I can keep it instead of them throwing it out. I'm weird. I know.

My feet, too, have not seen a size 9 since my two pregnancies.

I could take a 20 minute nap 3 times a day and I could totally do without telephones too!! :)

Charlotte-
I seriously didn't think there was another soul on earth that hates talking on the phone as much as I do. I might actually hate cell phones more than land phones if thats possible.
We recently had phone trouble here at the house and it took us a day to notice and we didn't even bother reporting for 4 days-and it didn't get fixed for 6-it was heaven!

Love these little tidbits about you Charlotte. I've been tagged too and I guess I'll have to cough up some weird things about myself tomorrow.. gee, only 6??? Shouldn't be too hard for me to do! ;-)

I found this from one of the taggees(?) while blog surfing. Just wanted to let you know that you are not the last person to do a blog. I am! Or at least I feel the same as you. Great list!
