7 Random Things About Me

The rules are: Link to the person that tagged you, (Beth) and post the rules on your blog. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself. Tag 7 random people at the end of your blog. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
1. I love, love, love cloudy days. I actually feel really depressed when it is sunny for too many days in a row.

2.I like numbers. A lot. I get so crazy about them that I run idiotic scenarios in my head. "If I won a million dollars, what would I do with it?" or "How fast can I pay off my house if I...". You get the point. My latest craziness? Creating a spreadsheet for Josh & I to use, should the other one die, to help us know what to do with the life insurance money during our grieving period. Weird. I know.

3. I have a phobia of social situations, especially when I host a dinner party. I get so stressed out that I fill my schedule to the brim so I won't have to participate.

4. I think it would be really cool to have a British accent.

5. I can't seem to outgrow the habit of picking at my lips, especially if they are dry or I am stressed. So instead, I constantly put on chapstick and read every day (my narcotic of choice) to keep my sordid habit in check.

6. My favorite place in the world is home, with no where to go. Unless you want to talk about vacations, then I am game for most anything.

7. Even though I love home (refer to #6), I am still filled with wanderlust. I just can't seem to get over it! Last winter I researched jobs in St. Croix, Tonga, New Zealand, England & Scotland, hoping that I could find a way to convince Josh that we should take our family on a little "sabbatical". So far, no luck.

LOL you are strange Dix...in the best possible way. :) You make me smile. I like overcast days too. We're having a nice little drizzle here that's just wonderful! Good luck with that sabbatical!

The weather here was perfect here too! Rain, low-grey clouds & fog all day. AWESOME!

You are wonderful to have done this Tag! It is fun learning things about you. I knew about the numbers, I knew about your love for traveling, I did not know about cloudy days. Cool stuff to know!
