Well, I got quite a chuckle over this from Morning Glory and Queen Beth - So I decided to join in the fun!
9 Weird Things About Me
1. My left foot is larger than my right - it's a 6 wide, right is 6 medium. Makes buying shoes interesting! Slip-ons usually just don't cut it, and with boots I have to wear 2 socks on the right foot so my foot doesn't slip!
2. My little fingers both curve in at the last joint. Not from arthritis, I was just born that way! First thing I checked on my granddaughters is to see if they had crooked little fingers - now I can't remember if they did or not!!
3. Because my first name is unisex and I didn't use my middle name, I was assigned to boy's gym the first day of Jr High! From then on I filled out forms with my middle name "Annette" showing!
4. I organize all my drawers - my underwear drawer has all the undies rolled and put in rows by color. My sox all line up in rows in their drawer so I can see the colors without messing up the rest. I also organize the tops and jackets in my closet by sleeve length, then color!
5. I discovered, when we moved, that I own more than 100 pair of earrings - I wear the same silver hoops about 99% of the time!
6. I hate my car being messy inside - doesn't bother me a bit if someone else's is messy - just makes me crazy if mine is!
7. I am not athletic, and I don't feel I am very competitive, but I am really into weight training at the gym and I love to feel that strength in my legs when I crouch down and can stand up easily! I also LOVE to snow ski and feel great competition with myself to improve even as I am getting older. I picture myself being more physically active and maybe walking in distance events when I am not working and have more time.
8. If I had the opportunity, I would love to work on an archeological dig - I don't care where - the process has always facinated me.
9. I enjoy being by myself - I like to sew, read or shop - and I usually don't turn on tv or music if I am home by myself during the day. I am not unnerved by silence. I do turn on the tv however, if I am home by myself at night - if for nothing else than to mark the passage of time.
There! 9 things! - - You know - I guess I am not all that weird for the most part after all!! HA!!

Trip To Walmart
Thanks to my friend Terry - She sent this to me and I just had to share it!
Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are retired, and Mrs. Fenton insists her husband go with her to Wal-Mart. He gets so bored with all the shopping trips. He prefers to get in and get out, but Mrs. Fenton loves to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton gets this letter from Wal-Mart:
Dear Mrs. Fenton,
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may ban both of you from our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment. All complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below.
Things Mr. Bill Fenton has done while his spouse was shopping in Wal-Mart:
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the ladies rest rooms.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in house wares..... and watched what happened.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumes the fetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
And last, but certainly not least .. ;
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"
