Pet Peeves & Little Known Facts…

PET PEEVES:

Pointless phone calls. “So…what’s up?” “Nuttin…whazup with you?” “Umm…nothing really.” “…” “Cool.” “MmmHmm.” “…”

Being tickled. (And don’t try it, and think it’s funny. I get violent. And our friendship might end up on the line.)

Being scared. (Like someone jumping out of a bush & yelling “Boo!” for no good reason.) Grrr…

Taking your sweatshirt (pants, socks, etc) off by turning them inside out….and then tossing them in the laundry basket that way.

Being woken up for no reason, when I’m SOUND asleep. (Stems from being a light sleeper for eons…and coveting sleep even more so now that I’m preggers!)

Overly critical comments.

Loose change in my car console.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:

When I make a BLT, I HAVE to do it all out. Hickory vs. reg smoked bacon, cooked in my Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine x George Foreman. Fresh avocado or guac. Market fresh, organic tomatoes. Hand whipped dill mayo. Slightly toasted sourdough bread. It’s an OCD thang.

This may not be “little known” since I post hyper notes about it on Facebook all the time…but I LOOOOOOOOVE Cotton Candy!

l LOVE when it rains in San Diego! Other than the notoriously poor driving skills of the natives, it reminds me of home…and fresh, cleansing, heaven-sent smells of damp pine & wood. Now if I could just talk God into letting it SNOW here…Hmmm…

l adore gift wrapping! I like making my own wrappings out of old maps, or hand painted brown craft paper, or leftover pieces of junk mail. I love it when people *gasp* when they get a present from me.

I’m a stanch non-obligatory gift-giver. I don’t support “hallmark holidays” nor do I like giving gifts on “appropriate” gift-giving days. I love to find special items throughout the year and surprise people with presents, for FUN! Expectation steals honest joy, in my book.

It took me 9 months to build this:   (…and just wait to see what I’m building in the NEXT 9 months!)

I could live in a quiet little cabin in the woods forever. I love solitude.

I can’t WAIT to finally get some chickens in my backyard again. I crave fresh eggs every morning. And feeding them bowls of spaghetti, like my mom always did, until they’re stuffed full!

When living in Oregon, the rainy state, I wore a different pair of high heels almost every day. EVEN when driving my open jeep around town! Now that I live in sunny SoCal, 9 out of 10 days you’ll catch me in either Uggs, rainboots or Rainbow flips! *sigh* I’m complicated.

For every word you might use to describe me, you can also probably describe me with the opposite word. Funny but Serious. Spontaneous Planner. OCD clean…Messy. A dog person who loves cats. Rainboots & Stilettos. Loves snakes…Hates spiders. Hates talking on the phone…Obsessive social media “chatter”. Ranch-loving, grease monkey…City girl. You get the picture…again, I’m complicated.
