The assignment is to.....
1- Describe 10 things about myself that you might not know.
2- Tag seven rockin' blog buddies to do the same. (I don't know if I have 7 to tag, but I'll try my best!)
10 Things About Sarah That You Might Not Know
1) This might just be as OCD as I get, but when I use the paper towel dispensers in public bathrooms I like to reel it out seven times so that I rip on "8". I think it comes from my dancing because it just feels right to pull down 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and then rip on 8! You can't exactly use 3/4 time when you're at the paper towel dispenser, it doesn't work!
2) If I could go anywhere in the world and money was not a problem I would go to Australia! I wouldn't go to surf, or to snorkel, but I would just like to take lots of pictures and go visit Hillsong Church!
3) I don't have a favorite food. There isn't just one food that I would say is my favorite to eat all of the time. I like to try new things and I don't discriminate. However, there are a few foods that I will NEVER eat.....salmon (bad Norway memories), escargot (it's friggin' snails people, come on!), cow tongue (somewhere there's a cow trying to lick its baby and it can't,what a stupid thing to eat!), pork rinds (fried pork skin, blech!), frog legs (I may hate frogs, but I don't want to get back at them by eating their legs)....there might be more, but that's all I can think of right now!
4) I have a problem with people being in my "personal space". For example: For some reason whenever I'm at the grocery store the person next in line has to always stand withing a pinkie's reach from me. To avoid this, I try to put my shopping basket between myself and the freak whose invading my territory. I don't understand why they have to be so close to me, there's so much room for them far away from me! Listen! If I don't know you, but somehow I can manage to guess the perfume you're wearing, the size of your shirt and smell what you've had for dinner on your breath, then you're too dang close, back off! Phew!
5) My favorite place to be is Dallas, TX. I want to live there more than anything! I know a lot of texans in my neck of the woods don't particularly like the Dallas area, or the traffic, or even the people there, but somehow I feel right at home! It really has everything there and fun things happen there! If you've lived in San Antonio for a while and are used to having certain things available to you like a good deli, a bagel shop or even a bakery where you can just stop in anytime and have the best danish known to man, then Dallas is really like a Godsend! It isn't just one city either, there are oodles of other suburban areas like Grapevine, Southlake, Irving, etc. that have a lot to offer. It's a great place and I hope to live there one day :)
6) I do not like the number 6. I associate it with the devil and I just do not like it.
7) I lack confidence in my talents. I'm not exactly sure why, but I know that I am very aware of what others think of me. I know I've said I don't care what others think about me and I don't, but I do. I just want everyone to like what I do and how I do it whatever it may be. Perfectionist much? Sometimes......
8) I make the best mashed potatoes! I've been making Thanksgiving dinner with my mom since I was about 10 or 11 years old and she taught me how to make mashed potatoes and many other things. My mom is a great cook and baker! So is my dad too! And my husband....
9) I cannot cross my eyes completely. I have one eye that's nearsighted and one that's farsighted. I do wear glasses for reading and such. I don't need them for driving. You would think that I'd be more blind than I am, but my left eye is much stronger than the other, so it overcompensates for the lame right eyeball. Oh ya, I also have astigmatism!
10) I'm addicted to sweet tea, body waxing, pedicures, massages, Jason Mraz, The Office, So You Think You Can Dance, Sex and the City, the city of Austin.....and many, many more things!

Who knew you had an OCD!!! I would have never though.
I'm with ya on eating snails, tongue and frog legs. If the French really knew how gross it is to eat those things they wouldn't be so snooty.
And since I didn't do my last tagging blog assignment, I might just have to combine the two in one post. Or maybe MY OCD tendencies won't allow me to do that. Yet, my practical side would. You have one complex friend. I LOVE YOU!!!!! True story.
