I was tagged by Trish to post 6 weird things about myself, so here goes

1)I, like Trish, organize my closet according to color. I think maybe this is something a lot of people do, and I follow the roygbv "rainbow" color scheme: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. I have found it is most pleasing to the eye. (I put pink in front of red, and brown, white and black at the end, respectively.)

2)I am serious about EVERYTHING being in it's place! I am constantly putting things away when I walk through the house. Every morning when I am finished reading I fold the blanket and drape it over the chair the exact same way. Books, shoes, magazines, etc....all has it's place and must be put back. I am always picking up after Jordan. I have a feeling this will be seriously challenged in me when we had kids. Oh well- for now, it is what it is!

3)I really like it when my email inbox is empty. I get a major sense of accomplishment knowing that I have dealt with that email and it can now be deleted. It is rarely, if ever, FULLY empty, but I can usually keep both (my work and personal) inboxes down to about 5-10 emails by the end of the day!

4)I have an obsession with tea! I love my loose leaf tea and love to try new flavors, and find new stores that sell it. I have my whole tea collection- 25 round tins, each labeled with information on the type of tea and brewing instructions. I have no less than 2 cups per day, but most days 3-4. (Don't worry, never more than 2 cups of caffeinated tea) :-)Most tea is very light in caffeine anyway.

5)I really don't like to paint my toenails. I know this is totally gross to some people, but for whatever reason, if I do- it chips really quickly and I just don't like the upkeep. (my husband would say it's b/c I'm always running into things) So, for most of the year, they go bare and unpainted. I will always do them for special occasions like weddings, but that's about it.

6)I love pickle juice! (my mouth is actually watering as I write this- weird, I know) Don't know why- always have. I love sipping it straight from the jar...dill, not bread and butter or sweet, but it just tastes so good to me. I'm sure I'm sipping 3 times my daily intake of sodium, but hey- no part gets wasted!

So there you have it!

I am another one to fall victim to the flu bug in Tennessee. I know most of the country is getting hit hard with it, but TN's numbers are through the roof. Our county's school district even closed for 4 days because of it.

I got a lot of rest yesterday and am continuing to rest through today and tomorrow. Feeling better already so hopefully by Monday I'll be back in action and ready to go!
