The 10 Random Things I owe to 'Roo.

I can't not do a 'tag'... I especially can't not do one from 'Roo. .. my friend who talks to me for hours - just cause, who never makes me feel worse about mentioning Hooters at a business meeting, who reminds that I have much to be proud of, and Roo, our friendship is definitely one of them.

So... 10 Random Things ........

1. I can't wash my face without brushing my teeth, and I can't brush my teeth without flossing them first. These things have to go together, I have tried to talk myself out of this stupid compulsion. I'll make it to the couch after washing my face and I'll sit there unable to focus on anything until I get up and floss then brush my damn teeth.

2. I hate brussel sprouts., and I don't like you very much if you're trying to talk me into liking them, so just stop that crap.

3. When I go on a road trip somewhere, I have to make two lists. The list of things I can do right now (meaning the day before), and the list of things I have to do before I walk out the door. If I forget to put something on the list, I will write it down just to cross it off.

4. One of the things on the list is always, 'buy twizzlers'. My car won't go without them, I swear.

5. I just recently discovered that I love jalapeno peppers.

6. I shoplifted exactly one time, when I was about 13 years old. I (tried) to steal (read: I got caught) a bookmark from a Christian Book Store. (This still makes me laugh).

7. I recently surpised a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. She was so happy to see me she cried. I will remember the look on her face when she first saw me for the rest of my life. I will not wait so long to go see people who love me ever again.

8. I have not been running enough and I *hate* the way the absence of running makes me feel.

9. I don't love the beach... but this summer, I think I'm going to make some of my best memories there.

10. With my tax refund this year I'm buying deck furniture and an automobile GPS Thingie. I figure I'll always be able find my way home, and I'll have an awesome place to sit. If "W" gives us additional money - I'm defnitely going to spend it frivolously, I'm outstanding at that.

Happy new week people.

2, 3 and 5.... i could have put on my list.
I love talking to you. I just wish we could do it in person, with puppies and while moving our running shoes.
I might have been heard randomly saying, "damn. jen's hard core..." at least a half a dozen times this weekend.

I love this! Especially about the stolen bookmark! That's simply priceless. For the record, I hate brussels sprouts and love jalapenos.

While Brussels Sprouts are mildly less odious than Celery... they are still on the list of THINGS I WILL NOT EAT.

Compulsions are weird. I floss AFTER brushing. Something in my brain would probably pop if I tried to do it BEFORE.

I'm glad you're giving the beach a chance. :) Yay to spending frivolously! ha ha

You floss before you brush?

Wha?

Love the list, esp the last one. I agree that any rebate should be spent frivolously, perhaps on buying 100 galls of water and dumping them in the street or something.

hot damn.

I floss afterward, cause the dentist said so.

I'm just like you at #3. I have put stuff on the list just to cross it off. Is that obsessive, or what?

I'm with you on the list, the brussel sprouts, and the spending.

I like the idea of nice deck furniture, C. I should buy a nice lounge chair or two for my deck as well. Oh, and brussel sprouts are nasty!
