I'm it again...

Boy, I am just super popular this week! My cousin Steff tagged me, so here I go again!

6 Facts/Habits About Me
1. I'm not the cleanest person in the world. That being said, I must have a spotless kitchen at least one time during the day, I absolutely hate getting dirty and I don't pet my dogs unless I brush them first. But my laundry is also overflowing, my coffee table is always cluttered and I firmly believe the best thing a child can do during play is get muddy.
2. I buy plastic plates that are separated into different compartments. Yes, I mostly eat off of "real plates" but I can't stand for my food to touch (I cannot emphasize this enough) and these plates make my life easier...especially when I 'm at a picnic eating off my lap. Also, I never mix Olivia's baby food. Some moms mix the fruit with the veggies and that makes me want to gag. I will only put fruit in her cereal.
3. I divide my M&Ms, Skittles and other colored candies by color group and then by even numbers. For example, when I eat M&Ms, I will only eat an even number of them and their colors must be coordinated. For example, I can eat two reds and two yellows because they are warm colors. I eat the blues and greens together because they are cool colors, etc. With the Skittles, I will eat the purple and yellow together because they remind me of irises and I love irises. If I'm left with an odd number, I give one to Aubrey or I halve them. (Yes, Aubrey knew this before we got married...)
4. I love to sing. I make up silly songs all the time. My life is a musical and Aubrey and Olivia are extras.
5. I'm in the habit of coloring and chewing when I'm bored. I guess that makes me a two-year-old gerbil. My desk is covered in scraps of paper that say, "Cheyenne loves Aubrey" and "CM + AM", etc., in all kinds of fonts. Also, I go through gum like a smoker trying to kick the habit. If I don't have gum, I chew on my fingers.
6. I hate cold weather. I grew up in Nebraska and I love the snow (for a while). Winter is also one of my favorite seasons. Alabama has, however, completely softened me. If it's in the mid-40's or below (considered warm to Cornhuskers), yuck. And yet I still go out without a coat and laugh at the people down here for being all bundled up.

So, I tag Tracy, Courtney, Meghan and Debbie

Oh Cheynee (i don't know how to spell it) you are too cute! I do the same thing with my M&M's!

Tiff said...

I think we all have a case of OCD. Eating even and color coordinated skittles. I never knew!

Meghan said...

Well, this might have been a little too much info about Cheyenne. Just Kidding! I love finding out that other people are as nuts as I am, just in different ways. I welcome the challenge and then you will find out what crazy I am.

Um, you know, you can get therapy for your Candy issues. :-D

I can't eat anything that has a springy bit in it...like those jiggly bits of chicken. It turns me off the whole content of the plate. Instant food turn-off.

Hm - perhaps my behind could benefit from a few more jiggly bits strategically placed in my food...
