That crazy woman over at Musings of a Housewife tagged me with this meme. And whatever, at some point it had to start, that I would have join the fold of meme followers and play along. So, reluctantly, here it goes.
A meme. My first one. The rules of this meme are that you list 7 random and quirky things about yourself that others may not know and you put them on your blog in hopes that others will find them amusing or interesting. Okay fine.
1. I drink a lot of milk. really, it’s a lot. Probably a gallon every other day. It does a body good, right? 
Some find it revolting, many find it intriguing, I find it delicious.
2. Until recently (like within the last 2 years) I refused to wear my hair up because I thought I had big ears. This fear was validated when in 10th grade, my friend Curt told me I had big ears. Now, in my adult maturity and self-love, I wear my hair up due to a combination of not thinking my ears are big anymore and not giving a rats if my ears are big anymore.
(Man, I have been in a tattle-tell mood lately what with outing my friends Erica and Curt for their SLASHING and SPITEFUL comments. This is funny to me because I seriously hadn’t thought of these moments for YEARS and then they came spewing out of me while I was writing. I couldn’t stop it. I’m healing, you guys, I am healing here by outing you. Just kidding. I promise I remember all the nice crap you have done for me too, I just haven’t written about those things yet… and the nice things aren’t as funny)
3. I can’t have my blinds open, like, one MINUTE past nightfall. Creepy Creepenstein will be looking in my house, I can feel it. Especially now that my Blog is so incredibly famous and well known, you just can’t be too careful, you feel me?
4. I have to put lotion on my feet every night before putting them under the covers. Without fail, every night. Because scratchy feet on soft sheets is the most disgusting, horrible, loathsome, pitiful sensation in the whole wide world, that why. It gives me chills just thinking about it. So, lotion equals lifesaver. Plus every night my husband gets to creepily say “puts the lotion on the skin….” and that’s fun.
5. I’m skipping 5.
6. I use a disposable razor for about 6 months before disposing of it. I use my disposable contacts for about 4 months before disposing of them. My husband and I share the same toothbrush. None of these stem from money saving motives. I’m just not good with change and I’m somewhat lazy.
7. I’ll elaborate on the toothbrush thing. After my friend Kellie asked if it was a matter of money and that if it was, she would BUY US another toothbrush, I started exploring our toothbrush techniques in more depth. Why do we share a toothbrush? Why don’t we buy another one whenever we are at the store? Why does this not bother either of us? Why do our friends judge us with such disdain at knowing this?
And…… I have nothing. I think it stems from neither of us wanting to give up our rights to the better toothbrush. And we have TRIED getting two NEW toothbrushes at the same time so that there wouldn’t be a better toothbrush, but it didn’t work. I don’t know why we do it. I have to ask myself, would I want this for our children?
And the answer is yes. Yes, because we share our toothbrush in love. And I hope our children can have that same kind of salivate-sharing relationship that we have.
Don’t be jealous people. You too, can start sharing a toothbrush.
I know I’m supposed to now tag 7 other people to play the game, but I’m not going to, I’m rebellious like that. If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged.

Sharing a toothbrush is wrong in so many ways, never mind all that other gross stuff that you two do together.

Ahhh… hilarious. I’m laughing out loud at all the comments right now. But I have to say it’s adorable that you love each other so much you can share teeth scum. YUCK! I love my DH to pieces but I hate when he uses my toothbrush (it doesn’t bother him a bit). I just discovered your blog. It’s hilarious!! Congrats on starting your journey. We just mailed our dossier to our agency yesterday. I can’t wait to be waiting!! Email if you’d like a waiting buddy,
