Gina tagged me. She’s my cousin and we’re tight, so I decided to play along. Also, I still carry guilt for defacing her New Kids On The Block posters when we were 12. Again, I’m really, deeply sorry.
The Rules:
Link to the person who tagged you (check!), mention the rules (check!), tell six quirky, yet boring & unspectacular things about yourself (check!), tag six other bloggers by linking to them (uhhhhh), and then go to each person’s blog and leave a comment letting them know they’ve been tagged.
1. It took me twenty minutes to pick out a collar for Charlie. I think I might turn out to be one of those ladies who dress their dog for the appropriate holiday.
2. Sometimes I think my cat “allergy” is really just my nose and eyes validating my brain’s dislike of cats for being elitist.
3. I honestly believe that my dishwasher loading skills are unparralleled.
4. I take a certain bit of pride as I near the one year anniversary of my clothes dryer’s death. I have proven to myself that when the times get tough, I get tougher. Grrrr.
5. I call all my recipes “a secret recipe” because I like the mystery. They aren’t really secrets.
6. I have a method for using the same knife to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich WITHOUT getting streaks of jelly in the jar of peanut butter. I often marvel at the skill and look over my shoulder to see if there’s a fan also marveling.
Here’s the part where I tag six people. Only, I happen to have a bit of a summer cold (thankyouverymuch, Ian) and I feel like skipping this step. I’m a maverick. That’s how I roll.

AHHH! How sweet that you remember my posters……I don’t!!! Then again I forget my name at least 4 times a day.
“2. Sometimes I think my cat “allergy” is really just my nose and eyes validating my brain’s dislike of cats for being elitist.”
AMEN! I like cats for about 5 minutes…then my “allergies” kick up too! And darn it, Courtney wants a cat!!
“3. I honestly believe that my dishwasher loading skills are unparralleled.”
It must be genetic. I can pack a dw tighter than a size 16 rear in size 14 jeans…and it all gets clean! Oh and thanks for the reminder that I need to start the dw.
Sorry your under the weather. Maybe it’s your subconscious not wanting to see me….you know the NKOTB guilt. I seem to be remembering them now……not really!
Love,
Ummmmm….what’s my name again??

Dear Amy…
Cats are not elitist…they are picky. They pick there owners and they are snobs. Oh …. I guess that does make them ELITEST.
The best thing about a cat is that you can get a huge bowl pour a 5 pound bag of food in it, clean the litter box, flush the toilet and leave for 2 weeks and you don’t need a kennel. Bad I know.
If I was there I would stand up and applaud your PB&J knife skills.
Maybe you could make it up to Gina for the poster by giving her your ticket to NKOTB.
It is always so fun to mess with you. Hope you feel better soon!

You HAVE to share your PB&J wisdom with us. Teach me… I am your willing pupil.

I don’t think anyone should have to apologize for defacing an NKOTB poster. Ever. You did the right thing.
And I join you in the dishwasher loading thing. I even surpass my beloved Mother-in-law’s skills. Oh yes I do.

Hey lookie, lookie I’m leaving a comment! It’s one with no point, no rhyme or reason but a comment none the less. Are you as excited as I am?

Eric’s Wife…where have you been all my blog life?
Had a blog party tonight at my house with my homeys in Edmond…Theresa was in attendance from the CA as well as Natalie, Kim and Deleise. Awesomeness and greatness happened.
And then all of a sudden people start talking about this Amy chick and I’m like “who?” and they’re like “Eric’s Wife” and I’m like “wha??”
They continue to tell me you are huh-larious and so I had to find out for myself.
They were so right.
You are now on my google reader. I will read you everyday, oh new blog friend o’ mine.
