Some of my cookbooks
I have about 43 to-do list items screaming out for my attention every time I turn around, but one of my lady loves sent me my first bloggy meme, which seems like a much better use of my time at the moment so here you go...
Six weird things about myself...
1) I have an irrational fear of ferris wheels. I don't know why, or where this comes from, but the few times I have been dragged on one, kicking and screaming all the way, I burst into tears.
2) Chalk it up to a slight case of OCD, but I have a problem with things turning counter-clockwise. For example, if I have to turn around, I will turn to the right, always. And if I do happen to turn to the left I will correct it. It's subtle and you more than likely won't notice if I do it, but I am pretty conscious of it. I don't know if this makes me weird, or just insane.
3) If I eat a turkey burger I have to rearrange the pickles, tomatoes, red onion etc., to my aesthetic liking before I dive in.
4) I am obsessed with cookbooks. I read them like novels.
5) I have three small freckles on my right thigh that form a perfect triangle.
6) I can juggle. I suppose that is not as weird as it is fun.
If you are reading this, I tag YOU!
oh my god...you're going to wish you didn't tell me about the counter clockwise thingy. i am so going to give you shit about it tomorrow...
tee hee.
love to YOU.
it's all about you, me and psychic Dupree!!!! xoxoxox

I didn't intend to post again, however that is a birthmark on your thigh. It was called a Strawberry mark.
Also we went on the ferris wheel in Burbank.
Mom's sometime don't know that would be bad...

That birthmark disappeared years ago. These are just ordinary freckles. They are in a different place than the birthmark once was.
What ferris wheel in Burbank?

Ahhh...it's nice to know i'm not the only one being buried with work and chores. LOL
I think most people have at least a tiny bit of OCD. You are NOT alone! I have a few things that I do...one is checking locked doors. I always have to try the handle multiple times, although i've gotten much better about this. I've been known to go out to the car many times during the day to make sure it's locked. arg!
Also, I like to eat butter. And not just on stuff but by itself too. That's not an ocd thing...it's just weird. ;-)
Whenever I see a brand of butter that I haven't tried I have to buy and eat some just to see what it tastes like. Not all butter is created equal! I can't wait till the next time we visit France and can get some of that awesome Breton butter that David Lebovitz is always talking about!

I often think OCD is my true middle name....you're not alone!!! I never noticed your counter-clockwise thing, though. But, like one of your other posts said, I too, think we all have OCD on some level with some things. I wash my hands a LOT, have a general fear of germs, so going to the gym is quite trying for me at times (I have been known to run out of a class in session just to wash my hands after handling equipment, only to return to the class & handle the same equipment again....and only to flee again for another wash!). I kid you not!
I didn't know you had a fear of ferris wheels, however. :) For me, anything that goes in repetitive circles is BAD....and the accompanying nausea is the first sign of that.
If you want 6 weird things about me, I would say the hand-washing at the gym ranks up there pretty high. The remaining 5 might be 5) the cowlick on the right-side of my "bangs" that I cannot fight no matter how hard I try.....4) I have never had a soda...ever!.....3) I despise fish & all things fish related (don't even like sitting next to someone eating it).....2) Never had a cup of coffee, nor do I intend to since it does not smell appealing.
How's that for WEIRD?!
