I was tagged by default (if you read Such Simple Pleasures, you are tagged. No warnings. - And, yet…you know you are going to do it because the more the merrier, right?)
1st - there is the Random one. List 7 things, some random, some weird. I did this once, but I figure there are so many random /weird things most people don’t know about me, I could do this for eternity and still come up with stuff.
1. I’m allergic to kiwi. My throat swells up, and blah blah blah. Haven’t tried it lately, but I’m betting I’m still allergic. Don’t try to put it in my food though (Steven). I’ll still have time to kick your ass before I keel over.
2. I can no longer drink Smirnoff Vodka. Sorry. Just can’t do it. I think I need to buy more quality.
3. I love organizational crap. Love it.
4. I like walking through open houses. You know, for sale. Not, as in “oh they left it unlocked, let’s take a peek”. That’s just downright creepy, you creep!
5. I could do without ice cream. And hot dogs.
6. Call me Sponge Bob Square Feet. Like my aunts, my feet are short (as am I) and more square (my toes are roughly the same size -ish)
7. I can almost NEVER find my ring size in stock. My hands are tiny. Once again, are you really that surprised?
And then…the book meme:
* Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
* Open it to page 123.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Post the next 3 sentences.
I’m choosing Faking It by Jennifer Crusie (excellent book so far - a light read)
“Everything shifted under her T-shirt, and suddenly he wasn’t mad at all anymore. ‘I know it seems like I’m in control,’ she said to him, her voice earnest, ‘but it’s a fake. I’m a big fake at everything. I was born a fake.’
‘Matilda,’ Davy said, ‘you weren’t born to do anything. You do what you do when you do because that’s where you are at the time. When you are ready to have great sex, give me a call. Until then, lie back down and stop moving around under that shirt.’”
**I swear it’s not “soft-core” porn or anything that I’m reading. lol.
Welcome back!

Did you see the Ellen show from Florida where she picked up some random woman’s book and started reading it out loud? The woman’s husband was sitting there and apparently this poor lady had left to use the restroom or something. Well, it was most definitely soft porn! Ellen rubbed up against the husband as she read the passag. It was so funny and I bet that woman’s friends are going to give her crap about it forever.
I promise, I won’t tease you too long!
…
lol I didn’t see that show. But, sounds like something she’d do! Honest, my book wasn’t all like that! lol…of course the page it picked it made mention. Although, the guy character in the book really did need to take one long cold shower. Haha.
