Fun Friday! = Six Things

Miss Zoot tagged me (Well, not me in particular, but I like to think I'm that important.) to list six things about myself I have not talked about before on this site.



1. I don't wear shorts in public much at all. I was born with my knees facing slightly outward and they were supposed to turn in as I got older. They did. My legs are weird though. My knees still don't match up with the bottom of my legs. I'm very selfconcious about it for no reason.


2. I'm blind as a bat. I wear contacts because it's supposed to slow the progression of my horrible eyesight getting worse. I could see fine one day when I was 8, next day, blind as a bat. I keep regular eye appointments (every year, unless more spots appear suddenly, "floaters") with specialists. It's the only "dr's" appointment I've kept up with in my life. I'm late on my appointment this year because the last eye doctor I went to told me I had "eye dandruff."


3. I'm a collector. I collect everything. Dishes, kick knacks, pillows, anything black and red, dolphins, grape stuff, books, blankets...and I always have. (barbies, troll dolls, purple iris stuff, stamps, M.C. Esher calendars)
I also obsessively clean and cull my stuff every few weeks. Except for the dolphins, grapes, and the dishes. The dolphins remain, but the dishes go in plastic containers in the garage until I get a bigger house with an actual china cabinet.


4. I'm not religious but I love Christmas. I like the decorations. I love the Christmas lights and the evergreen wreaths and the candy canes and nut crackers and Santa clauses and And AND!!


5. I've seemed to stay in touch with the majority of my high school friends, but I can't seem to hang on to very many friends I made in college. I don't know why that is. Seems like it would have been the other way around.


6. And finally...I have a "thing" for people with blue eyes and brown hair. It's an obsession really. My husband has blue eyes and brown hair. My dog is black with a blue eye. (I accept minor variations.)
