OMG! Even if my sweet husband is sliding his hand under a slice of pizza to set it on my plate, it gives me the creepy crawlers. 4.When I get toward the end of a good novel, I go and sit somewhere quiet! I must have peace and quiet when finishing a good book or it can ruin the experience for me. 5.When I eat a Reese's peanut butter cup I have to eat around the little edge to form a perfect circle then I can go in for the kill! :) 6.Seeing someone eat and then their hands become oily and then they pick their drinking glass up over and over and the glass is now finger printed with grease. JUST WIPE YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE GLASS!!! LOL! ARRRRGGHHHHH!! 7.In my closet all my pants have to be hung next to each other/all my shirts have to be hung together, and all my hangers have to be the same color. I feel a mommy dearest "NO WIRE HANGERS" moment coming on as we speak! HA! 8.I cannot ain't no chance in hell sleep in a hotel that is 1970ish in style. I can't take the 1970's furniture and velvet style etched wall paper, no big or hanging smoke glass lamps. We once had to change hotels cause there was shag carpet in a hotel!!!!!! I can't even watch that 70's show on television. HA! 8 Weird Things About Me
by Christina

1.My heart can’t take it if someone else reads my magazines before I do!

2.When I am in a store and I am reaching to buy something, I have to take the last one, never the first that everyone may have touched.

3.I can be easily sent into convulsions if I see someone touching or handling the food I’m about to eat. OMG! Even if my sweet husband is sliding his hand under a slice of pizza to set it on my plate, it gives me the creepy crawlers.

4.When I get toward the end of a good novel, I go and sit somewhere quiet! I must have peace and quiet when finishing a good book or it can ruin the experience for me.

5.When I eat a Reese’s peanut butter cup I have to eat around the little edge to form a perfect circle then I can go in for the kill! :)

6.Seeing someone eat and then their hands become oily and then they pick their drinking glass up over and over and the glass is now finger printed with grease. JUST WIPE YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE GLASS!!! LOL! ARRRRGGHHHHH!!

7.In my closet all my pants have to be hung next to each other/all my shirts have to be hung together, and all my hangers have to be the same color.
I feel a mommy dearest “NO WIRE HANGERS” moment coming on as we speak! HA!

8.I cannot ain’t no chance in hell sleep in a hotel that is 1970ish in style. I can’t take the 1970’s furniture and velvet style etched wall paper, no big or hanging smoke glass lamps. We once had to change hotels cause there was shag carpet in a hotel!!!!!! I can’t even watch that 70’s show on television. HA!

Am I really that bad a proof reader? That post is RIDDLED with mistakes, it's SHOCKINGLY bad. Ho well. *note to self- do not attempt late night blog entries when one has been up since 5.30am that morning* I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is fussy about where I sit, and I agree, it's that whole Mum's Gone To Iceland thing about the shoes (Iceland is a low-cost freezer-based grocery store where one can buy ANYTHING instant and it tends to attract people more concerned with the amount of trend they can personify, rather than their health and nutrition. Their latest ad campaign is an entire roast dinner that comes out of two freezer bags...err, yumm :? It is cheap though). And the pop-sock story made me laugh :lol: Oooh, and thanks for the link Melissa! The aforementioned sister-in-law introduced me to knitty about a year ago and it's been the source of much interest ever since, but I missed that page!. Those coats and that sweater would look great on Paige! I think there's a hat floating around on there somewhere, I found that pattern, but not the ones that you did, THANKS! :D GOOD GRIEF!!
