Seven Quirky Things...

Well, I guess I am a true blogger now! I have been tagged by my friend Lisa! Here are 7 quirky things about me...

1. I'm not much of a movie person. As in, I don't really enjoy going to a movie theater. I like the popcorn and treats, but I guess I haven't seen a really good movie in a long time that keeps my interest for two hours. This could be because the majority of the movies I've seen lately are animated! Anyway, movies are also very LOUD in a theater, which bothers me. Maybe I have sensory overload issues...

2. When I am in a public place, I sometimes actually look for the exits in case of an emergency. I know this sounds really paranoid, but I do.

3. I am addicted to reality T.V. My favorite shows are Jon and Kate Plus 8, Little People, Big World, Top Chef, American Idol, and Project Runway. Not so much Survivor anymore.

4. I am an American history buff. I have this thing about JFK and the Kennedy family. Ever since I was young I was very interested in JFK, even though he died before I was born. And one of my favorite shows on TV is PBS's "American Experience". Yes, I'm a nerd, and through the years I've learned to embrace my nerdiness!

5. I love animals and enjoy going to the zoo as much (or more) than my kids. I like to visit neighbors when they have new puppies or kittens! I can't go to Petsmart on pet adoption day. I want to bring all the animals home with us! Last time, we almost brought home a beagle! We already have 2 basset hounds!

6. I love sauerkraut. My husband, who lived in Germany for two years, does not. He likes me to open the windows when I eat it.

7. I lived in Alaska when I was a teenager and for fun we used to hook up my neighbor's husky and drive the dog sled around the neighborhood.
