Tag!

Here's a picture of Little Lane...she's a doll. Well, I've been "tagged" thanks to my good friend Meg! Here it goes, in no particular order, 7 strange things about me...

1. I acquired a taste for green olives when I was pregnant with Will. It hasn't gone away. At any time of day, I could go sit on the couch with a jar and a fork.
2. I don't keep a calendar anywhere. I keep all of my events in my head and just hope I remember when the right time comes. I am disorganized with myself, but almost obsessive-compulsively organized when working for an employer.
   
3. I love t.v. I love surfing up and down the channels even when I know nothing's on. I watch mainly FoodNetwork and HGTV, planning recipes and house projects I'll never do. I read the bumper stickers that say "Kill your television" and I think "Are you crazy?" I don't allow myself to watch it until Will's in bed...that would be bad. Oh, and I love the show "Cops".
   
4. I love to travel but hate flying in airplanes. I go up and talk to the pilots before take-off and tell them to "do a good job" and "talk to us a lot back here". They think I am flirting but I'm totally serious. There's a humiliating story of me holding on to a sailor I was sitting next to when the plane was bouncing all over the place. He thought I was coming on to him. Once we landed, I had to run through the terminal to get away from him. That is one of many a bizarre story.
   
5. In conjunction with #4, I love tracking flights on USA TODAY Travel or FlightAware. If I know you are flying, I will get on Weather.com, check the turbulence report for you, then go to a flight tracking website and follow you through the air, checking wind speed and altitude that sort of thing. Very bizarre... I am fascinated by airplanes but terrified of flying in them. If you invite me to your villa in Europe though, I will get over it and come anyway, just to be clear.
6. I floss for at least 10 minutes per night.
7. I don't like to sip Diet Coke over ice. I only like it if I can chug it from the can.
