Tag you're it! Ok, well I'm it.
DOH! Direct hit! I have been tagged by the fabulous Happy Zombie herself, Monica! So it goes, I'm supposed to reveal seven weird things about myself - since I think most things about me might fall into that category I'll just pick a few I'm actually willing to admit... *ahem*
1. I have a love for miniature things.
Who knows why - but miniature version of things just make me shout out and smile. Mini-oreos, mini-cans of diet pepsi, you name it. While I have been able to restrain myself as of late I will gladly walk through the aisles at Target, spot a mini- something or other and have to check myself, at which time the item may or not be thrown into my cart in a fit of impulse buying
2. I have the ability to watch movies I love over and over and over again.
I suppose this may not be such an oddity as a personal trait that my husband just shakes his head at. Miss Congeniality is in my DVD player at the moment - I swear I've seen it twenty times at least. Heck, it's pretty hard to turn on the TV and not find it playing somewhere on some channel on a Saturday afternoon. I'm a victim, I swear!
3. I'm a quilter and I have a stash - enter my studio at your own risk
Hello... my name is Cyndi and I'm a quilter... I have an addiction to fabric. Believe it or not, people who aren't quilters thing this is a pretty weird thing. "So let me get this straight, you just buy fabric, put it away and just play with it occasionally? Oh-keyyy..."
4. I talk to my dog Ginger
At least they don't talk back, right? What better audience! Okay, so they aren't in deep conversations, it more like "What do you think of this one Ginger?!" My pup just sits there next to me at the sewing machine and listens to every crazy word I say wagging her tail, just as happy as can be... That doesn't make my crazy, just weird. Right? *Please let the answer be right... *
5. I am a shopper who doesn't buy anything
So, picture this, I will shop, let's say Macy's, try things on, like a few things, then proceed to talk myself out of them and put them back. Unless... (see weirdness #6)
6. I am a bargain shopper
Unless it's on the clearance rack for like 75% off the marked down price and suddenly whatever I have in my hand becomes the deal of the century and will mostly likely end up as a story being regaled to one of my family at some point in the day. I love finding bargains, they make my day. It's genetic you know - I come from a long line of bargain hunters!
7. I don't like chocolate -there - I said it!
Yes, you heard that right! Not a big chocolate fan, but I will surely devour a banana cream pie if you leave it unattended in my presence.
Wow - I feel like I've been in a confessional! How uplifting to air your weirdness and fly your freak flag for the world to see, eh? Who's next... hmmm.... who should I gift with the flag of freakness? How about The Late Bloomer, Pam Kitty Morning, From Little Acorns, Bunny Tails, Mrs Schmenkman Quilts, Jackie Clark Designs, and Bloom Creek.

That's going to leave a mark Cyndi!
I'm soooooooo with you on #5 and #6! I will hem and haw... and then put something back. Go back to store, hem and haw some more. Then I buy it. Go home. Return it the next day. Except for fabric, that falls under the "it might be gone tomorrow" rule. And I love bargains. It's like a drug!
Loved reading your list Cyndi!
Cyndi, Wow. Except for the chocolate thing I could basically copy your exact list as my weird things. The movies, clothes, bargains, everything. I spend hours walking around filling my cart only to leave with the one shirt that kind of fits but is 4$. And of course I have to do it often in case one of those things I love goes on sale. Sometimes...just sometimes...it does and happy day. I love reading your blog and seeing all your ideas. I am brand new to blog land so all ideas are exciting. Also, I think I talk to my cat more than my husband, lol. Check my new blog baby out if you have a chance. http://mytwocoldfeet.blogspot.com/
