Who Are You???? who....who.....

[d2vasquez]

Ok girls let's get to know one another and instead of telling us "I am Darla, mom to 2 girls from California...." let's have a little fun and answer the following questions:

Tell us a fun fact about you and what weird hang up do you have i.e. you have to sleep on the right side of the bed only, you don't like chocolate but can eat rocky road and so on....but remember I am not a lawyer nor do we have any lawyers on staff so please refrain from admitting anything that could be used against you in a court of law!:rofl::rofl:

Ok I will go first.....

Fun fact about me: I can sew (with a real machine) and redecorated my whole dining room with cute little chair covers and all. (ok probably not fun but I am not really good with peer pressure! hehehe)

Weird hang-up: I always have to sleep with the TV on and will wake up instantly if my dh tries to shut if off!

[Darcy Baldwin]

FUN FACT: I can sign (a bit rusty, but I can still do it!)

WEIRD HANG-UP: I'm just like Darla ;)

[amanda heimann]

Fun Fact: Growing up we had 9 dogs (that I can remember), 1 cat, 1 rabbit, a baby alligator, a hedgehog, a snake, a bird and fish. My dad is a veterinarian.

Weirdness: I eat mustard. By itself.

[Laura M]

Hi ... my name is Laura and I am addicted to digital scrapbooking ... Oh wait ... this is not DS Anonymous -- is it? LOL

Fun fact about me: I am a horrible painter and really love to do it... DH hates it when I whip out the paint for the walls. I also make wonderful jewelry. Gosh, I love to paint.


Wierd Hang Up: DH said to say "Making the house clean 24 hours a day!" I am a vacuum a holic.

[KimberlyGiarrusso]

Fun fact about me: I know all the presidents, by heart and in order.

Weird hang-up: I freak out if I see a guy driving without a shirt on. I can't help myself, I always have to yell "Put your dang shirt on!! You are driving a car for God's Sake!!!!"

[KimberlyGiarrusso]

"Making the house clean 24 hours a day!" I am a vacuum a holic.

Can you come to my house? :giggle:

[Mandy]

Well, I know who to go to now if I dust off my sewing machine and start learning to actually use it.

Fun Fact: I have had about a million favorite crafts in my 32 years. Canvas stitching, cross stitch, sewing, quilting, tole painting, crochet, knitting, scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking, floral arrangement and I'm currently thinking about trying my hand at soap making.
LMAO!

Wierd Hang-up: I have to call my DH all the time. ALL the time. I know it drives him nuts but I have this awful feeling that something is going to happen to him one day (his job requires a lot of driving) and I'll never have had the chance to say I love you.

[Charla]

Aww, Mandy, that's so sad and sweet!! :cry: :wub:

Fun Fact: Ummm, what have I not told people a million times already??
I'm the only redhead in my family of 11, and even though DH has very curly hair and my mom's hair is curly too, it looks like my girls are getting my straight hair (well, mine is wavy now, but it was stick-straight growing up).
And I bought 4 new shirts today (much needed, for anyone who saw my Closet (http://www.thedigichick.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/95287/ppuser/5710) page), 3 of them being TEAL!!! :giggle:

Weird Hang-up: I am obsessed with DH's inbox. We have access to each other's inboxes, and mine is always hovering between 10-25 messages (usually things I need to do all the time, not all things I can ever actually delete, which drives me crazy), but DH's is currently at 670+, with close to 200 unread. He's had me help cut it down a few times but never as much as I want to. I'm trying to just let it be but it drives me crazy!!! :giggle:

[JCSimon]

Fun Fact: I'm a quilter....as addicted to making quilts as I am to digi-scrapping.

Wierd Hang-Up: (Funny you would mention it, Darla). I HAVE to sleep on the right side of the bed. Can't sleep in the middle or on the left. When dh is working out of town & I go to visit, I make him move if he's been on the right.

[cherekaye]

hmm...i'm not good at these things, but we'll try it out :)

Fun Fact: I ...am not fun. uhm. :thinking thinking: I am addicted to my ipod. Not just love it. Addicted. I have some 150G of stuff that I transfer off and on my 80G ipod, and it is all ruthlessly organized and I have finally conquered the smart playlist phenominon (sp).

Weird Hang-Up: - there are so many to choose from. I love peanut butter, but only with things, and only with ODD things - dill pickels, black olives, capers, pretzels, etc.

[d2vasquez]

Weird hang-up: I freak out if I see a guy driving without a shirt on. I can't help myself, I always have to yell "Put your dang shirt on!! You are driving a car for God's Sake!!!!"

And this comes from a person whose kids refuse to wear clothes at home! Oh man Mandy I did tole painting too!! and uh Chere.....yeah that is unusual there with the pb thing you have going....

[lmccandless]

Fun Fact - I can super-speed read! I didn't take a class or anything, I was just born that way.

Weirdness - Looove to crunch on ice, especially from Sonic. It's the best, yummmmy...

[Priscilla]

Fun Fact: I am the baby of NINE kids and my kids are of 20-something grandkids. :D

hang-up: YEah---Sonic ice is good........but toys.....I can't have them scattered about -- if he's not playing with it THAT moment it has to go back in the basket.

[rh_scrapbooker]

Fun fact about me: I read about 4 pages a minute, and have since I was a kid. Of course, if it's something I *don't* want to read, I do read slower... :)

Weird Hang-up: No matter how much I try, I must fall asleep by sleeping on my stomach - which means I don't get a lot of sleep when I have a cold/bronchitis and have to sleep on my back with my neck propped up (you know, for nasal drainage). I cannot sleep on my right side, no matter how much I want to, because of a previous shoulder injury.

[YvetteSanders]

It appears I have tried just as many crafts over the years as Mandy, since I'm cleaning out the storage room right now in preparation for moving (Goodwill is gonna LOVE me!)

Fun Fact: I just found the box of keepsakes my Grandmother gave me before she passed away - I love the fact that I have a really ugly butter dish that belonged to my Great-Grandmother as well as pieces that my grandmother received as wedding gifts. I'll never use them, but I love the sense of history that goes with them.

Hang-up: Laundry - no one else is allowed to touch my laundry. It's not usually an issue, since DH does laundry maybe twice a year, but I still get freaked out at the thought of it!

[jenn-]

I am never good at this question. I always come off sounding boring.

Fun Fact: My brother and I share both a birthday and an anniversary. Our birthday is 2 yrs apart and our wedding days were 1 year apart (he is older and first married)

Hang-up: I have a thing about dates (hence stealing his wedding anniversary). My oldest 3 all have the same birthday (1 DD and twin boys), the twins were to be delivered sometime around her birthday so I just said I would be the cool lady with 1 bday for all 3 kids, then Brandon came along. No way I was going to be a month over due to get the same bday so I did the next best thing and got the same day of the month for April (I have medical issues that require inductions so scheduling wasn't an issue). Needless to say all of my kids are born on the 13th of the month. Oh and my nephew (not son to my brother), has my birthday so he is a cool kid.

[Susan Toon]

Fun Fact: Does everyone have a fun fact? WOW...I just must not be fun LOL this one has me stumped.

Hang up: I hate to use the last of something when cooking. When deciding what to have for dinner I can't use the last pack or hamburger until I have a back up. I guess it's this inner fear that someday I'll wish I had that hamburger I just used the night before <giggle> Stupid huh? My husband hates it. He always wants us to use things up before packing the fridge, freezer and cabinets. But I have this serious thing with making sure we have one of everything we "might" need.

[Brandy]

Fun fact about me: When i sleep, I guess i not only sleep talk/walk i get up and do things. It's usually interesting to wake up and jeff ask if i remember doing something last night lol.

Weird hang-up: i HAVE to have the tv on to sleep as well. it annoys me if it isn't on.

[jensurge]

Cool this is fun! :)

FUN FACT: I can stick my pinky toe up my nose! LOL (don't ask me how I found this out!)

WEIRD HANG-UP: I am a tiny bit obsessive compulsive about certain things, I hate bananas but love banana flavored things, and I clean our car while DH is driving it! :)

[dst212 (Daniela)]

Hmmmm, fun thread!

Fun fact: I can't ride a bike to save my life. I've tried, I swear. Activities that involve balance are out of the question for me. Dang, I can barely stand up and not topple over...

Hang-up: I don't eat pork, but I looove bacon. That's just one of a long list, but it was the first one I remembered. I also have the side of the bed thing.

[Charla]

Susan, DH is the same way!! (well, he doesn't cook but)...he always leaves a sip of water in his cup and then goes back for a refill. It drives me crazy because I'm obsessed with "finished," but he sees it like you: as a backup, just in case!! :D

[sascedar]

ha this thread has been funny- i'm a newbie here and it seems you lot are well weird. good- i should fit in!

fun fact: totally unco-ordinated! cannot play anything that involves a bat and ball. am able to recite the entire 'Very Hungry Caterpillar' children's book.

weird thing: have a sensory issue- touching carpet with my fingertips makes my skin crawl, but not particularly bothered by fingernails on chalkboard (handy, as am a teacher). can't lick the last bit of a paddlepop, because the wooden stick makes my spine tingle (urgh, doing it now). another thing- I can't eat the last bite of anything. hmmm.

[TraceyLee]

fun fact: i am the worst gardener in the world, yet i don't give up. in the last three years, i have planted numerous bulbs and plants in my front yard, in hopes that they would bloom, and the only flowers that we get are from the tulips and lilac bush that my mom planted before she moved, lol. i also name potted plants, and they're all named Herman.

hang up: i can't just sit still and watch tv. i'm either cleaning, knitting, designing, or playing a game on my laptop while i'm watching tv.

[OrphanAnnie1016]

This thread is fun so I thought I would join in.

Fun Fact: I've never missed a day school. Yes, I went from Kindergarten all the way to my senior year in high school without missing a day of school. I know you're all wondering how I did that. lol I only seemed to get sick on vacations and all appointments were done before or after school.

Hang Up: I can't sleep being touched. I don't know why but I just can't. DH really gets annoyed because I can't fall asleep being held.

[Fairytale_Studios]

cool thread - I like this idea!

fun fact about me: hard question, lol and the only thing I can figure to answer here - I own four ferrets whom are currently my only "children" - don't laugh, I swear sometimes kids would be easier to handle!

weird fact about me: I can wrap my legs around my arms and walk on my hands (I figured this out when I was young - don't ask)

[nightlily]

Ha! I love this thread!

Fun Fact about me: In 2006, my biological father and two sisters found me - all thanks to Myspace. (I had never ever met, heard from, seen them before...)

Wierdness: Oh, where to start. :whacky111: I have a habit of singing christmas carols before bedtime, loudly. I also shake my hands every time I get into a vehicle, and the sound of cotton balls gives me goosebumps.

[nbeaudreau]

This is such a fun thread!!

Fun Fact: I used to develop and print my own black and white pics before digital came along. :)

Weird Hang Up: I can not stand to wear jeans in my own home. I wear my comfy pants (sweats or yoga pants) right up until i have to leave and strip them off as soon as I get home. They don't bother me when I'm out and about, just when I'm home. LOL!!

[MarshaZepeda]

OMG this is such a fun thread lol!!!

Okay, I see a lot of things in this thread that I do, too! ;)

fun fact: I'm the world's worst interior decorator. I have tried to "hang" things and have only succeeded in making HUGE holes in the wall, LOL! I have cute *ideas* but just can't implement them! :rofl:

weird things: I'm sooo with sascedar with the sensory thing. Except i WON'T eat popsicles with wooden sticks because the feel/taste of the wood makes my skin crawl! And cardboard or paper rubbing together - heebiedeebiejeebies!!! Blech! And CHINET paper plates! AAGH! Let me fall over now... I can't handle it, LOL! ;) I used to CRAVE peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches - YUM! (and nikki - me too! it drives my dh CRAZY! I'm so a comfy chick at home. if you randomly knock on my door in the middle of the day, you'll catch me in my pjs! lol!) I shower every morning but will ALWAYS put clean pjs back on, lol!

[dlhoffer]

Fun Fact: Ummmm....dang, it is hard thinking of "fun" facts about yourself LOL...Well I love to crochet & have since I was a girl. Oh, don't know if this is fun but maybe interesting...My uncle raises sheep & I have helped deliver several baby lambs...they are such cute little things!

Weird Hang Up: Ok, this is much easier since I seem to have several to choose from...here is one...I am totally OCD when it comes to handling cash....all the bills have to be facing the same way & going the same direction or it drives me nuts! I'm such a dork LOL

[macochran]

This has been a fun thread to read!

Fun Facts: hmmm..this is hard as I don't seem myself as a fun kind of person... so I'll go with I grow gourds every year to make bird houses with them the following year... I paint some of them as I like to paint.

Weird Thing: I hate anything/or anyone to touch the middle of my back (down my spine)...including myself. That's the only place I am ticklish!

[annscraps]

You guys are so WEIRD! :rofl: Good thing - now I'm feeling a little more normal!

Fun Fact: I have 42 first cousins. Yep - big German families here!

Weird Hang Up: I don't like to order food at fast food places. I also don't carry the tray back to our table (although since having children I have done it). This may stem back to junior high school when I dropped a tray of 4 super size drinks in front of the boy's basketball team - I was SOOOOOOOOO embarrassed. As far as the ordering goes - I usually whisper it like it's some big secret - what a dorky thing!

[AndreaBurns]

FUN FACT: I love to run, and run often.... but I always quit around mile 4. I've never run more than 5 miles at one time... even though I ran over 160 miles last summer.

WEIRD HANG-UP: My feet must be warm. I'm usually in slippers in the winter, and I often sleep with an extra blanket just over my feet. I'm also with Nikki... I live in comfy sweats while I'm in the house.

[Dani Alencar]

Great game:

Fun fact about me: I look like an oldery if I don't smile too large to the camera when getting a photo. That's why you see a lot of large smiles pics from me. LOL (did I make sense?)

Weird Hang up: I can't sleep alone neighter only with my dd... when dh is not sleeping at home I call my cousin to sleep over or I sleep over her house.

[paperboutique]

Fun Fact: Hmmmm...I'm a city-kid...never lived a day of my life in the country before now and will NEVER go back!! You will have to haul me off this acreage on a gurney! LOL I took a photography class once quite a few years ago, but other than that, I am completely self-taught in digital photography and with computers/software.

Weird Hang-up: Every night around 10pm or shortly thereafter, I slip my socks off with my toes. It's a sub-conscious thing, someone usually points it out to me and then I have to laugh at myself.

[Paula]

Fun fact about me: I can trace my genealogy back to Adam & Eve on several different lines.

Weird hang-up: I can NOT sleep with my back facing the door. Can't do it, don't ask me to.

[mormishmom]

Fun fact about me: I still harbor a secret dream of being a teen idol pop star - think Tiffany or Debbie Gibson. However, since I'm almost 30 - it's not really an option anymore.

Weird hang-up: Toilet paper rolls have to hang over the front and it really irks me in public restrooms when I can't fix them. Along those same lines, I try to touch nothing in public restrooms. I flush with my foot, pump soap and paper towels with my elbows and save my paper towel to open the door. I look a little freakish.

[melrio]

Hiya chickies! I'm starting to open up as I am usually bashful at first but I see I 'know' so many of the posters here. So, here I am and...

Fun fact about me: I love riding on the Harley with DH. We have a great group of people that I consider my friends.

Weird hang-up: I hate cleaning my car so it does look like I live in it and is a huge mess!

[Dani Alencar]

Weird hang-up: Toilet paper rolls have to hang over the front and it really irks me in public restrooms when I can't fix them. [/quote]

:laught16: I do this too!

[JenBinAZ]

Fun fact: I started writing to pen pals when I was 12, and at the peak of my hobby I had 380 pen pals all over the world. I was 16 and we lived in the country so I never had friends over or really went places. I've met about 9 of them, and 2 were bridesmaids when I got married. One guy went to my Junior formal with me - he drove 4 hours from Albuquerque. I rarely write real paper letters anymore - it's emails for me, and I mail all the cool cards I make. AND I only stay in touch with about 15 of the girls!

Weird fact: OCD here too ... I went through a bad patch in 6th grade where I had to bend my legs backwards - kick my foot up behind me everytime I got out of a chair - and I was horrible with the counting - I couldn't do things (like bowling) till I counted to a certain # - and it was never the same #. I also did this with lightswitches and turning knobs on and off. My little brother was an OCD hand washer.

[marnie4two]

Umm, pinkie toe in the nose? Cotton balls make noise? LOL, this is a fun read!

Fun fact: I have flown loops in an airplane and can float a set of keys off of the dash.

Weird fact: I have a brand new sewing machine, table and all the supplies I need to learn how to quilt. I even bought the fabrics and patterns for a quilt. But, I'm afraid to start for fear it will be as addictive is digital scrapbooking. And I really don't have an addictive personality. Go figure!

[melrio]

Fun fact about me: I have 75+ pairs of shoes. I call myself a 'Shoe-a-holic'! I can't help it....I'm the southern version of Imelda Marcos!

Weird hang-up: At least once a month I love to cook Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, and Green Beans. It's my comfort food.

[my3hens]

Fun Fact: I recently found two of my brothers I had never met on Myspace! My mom and biological dad (or sperm donor as I like to call him) Split when I was two. He came back for six months when i was ten and I decided on my own he wasnt a good person and cut ties. He had had a son though around the time I met him around my sisters age. One day I was bored and typed my biological dads name in the search box at myspace and my 15 year old brothers name and profile popped up. I knew it had to be him. I messaged him and sent him a friends request and when he approved me and we got to talking I found out I had TWO brothers. We have met once already and are meeting up again the end of this month! So exciting. So I went from 2 siblings to 4 overnight! I also think I may have another sister out there but Im unsure whether or not Im going to pursue it because I really dont want my biodad in the picture REALLY long story.

Weird Hang up: I hate when Wes rubs his feet together. It totally grosses me out! So bad that I have to leave the room if he wont stop.
