Strange But True

The only reason I'm doing yet another meme is because I got tagged by Croutonboy, and I have a little blog crush on Croutonboy, so here goes ...

Six strange things about me, which is entirely different than six things about me that you don't need to know but I'm telling you anyway.

1. To get a laugh, I often say wierd or inappropriate things, causing my companion to just kind of look at me like, Oooookaaaay. The "my head's on fire," comment would qualify. The more nervous I feel, the more off-the-wall my comment will be. If you knew me in person, you'd understand what I'm trying to say.

2. I have sixty-some-odd cookbooks and still have more titles that I want. Yet, when I'm looking for a recipe, I search online.

3. I have unusually sensitive skin, so I've had hives a bunch of times. Each time, my mom ages about 11 years, expecting me to go into anaphalactic shock at any moment. Last week I felt adventurous and washed my face with this instead of this. I paid with a case of contact dermatitis that started on one eye, spead all over my face and down my neck just in time for Easter picture taking.

4. If it weren't for my careful pruning, I'd have a moustache, beard and unibrow. Turned on yet?

5. I have a group of online friends, colleagues and employers whom I've known for years yet have never met or even spoken to on the phone.

6. I do memes. Last night, I asked my husband what is strange about me? He couldn't come up with anything, but asked why I wanted to know. As I tried to explain, ("Well, croutonboy tagged me, so I have to write six strange things about myself and ....") all I could say to make him understand was, "Because I'm still in junior high school, that's why."
