6 Unfabulous Quirks of Mine

1. I can't hear my own burps. I am serious. I have to ask Russ, "Was that a loud one?"

2. I made a pact with my roommate many many years ago that if we thought something nice about someone, we would say it. What good does a nice thought do stuck in your head? And when you verbalize these kind thoughts, it helps us see the good in everyone. Sadly, some people think this is not genuine or has ulterior motives. It is genuine and has no motive but to be kind and uplifting and honest.

3. I do not like cooking/cleaning and think I do a pretty good job knowing that I am not loving this large part of my life.

4. I always shop with 2 carts at Costco. Push one, pull one at the same time. There is not enough room in one cart for children, TP, paper towels, diapers, all all the other items. I get ONE THOUSAND comments about this every time I shop.

5. I notice (especially at Costco) that most people shop with their spouse. I NEVER shop with Russ. I am ALWAYS a loner and always have my kids with me. Why are people shopping with their spouses all the time?

6. I check world news headlines and entertainment headlines a lot...sometimes a few times a day. I could totally be a pop culture phone a friend.

I tag you, you blog reader you! Just pick one.

That burp thing is sooo funny! I think I remember you asking me if your burps were loud or not.

Sean and I actually LOVE to go shopping together. We love a little trip to Costco to go sampling and check out all the cool stuff. However, because weekends can get soooo busy usually shop alone to leave more time for things we want or need to do as a family.
