I’ve been tagged by Sara from the Estrogen Files to post 7 things about myself that you don’t already know. This was hard for me because I’m such an open book and I tend to write posts about things that most people only share with their bestest of friends. I’ve done my best to come up with things that I don’t think I’ve ever blogged about.
- I love pajamas. So much that many days you will find me still in them at noon. I’ve even picked up my kids from school while wearing them. Thank goodness for a carpool line. I do worry that I may get in a car accident and I’ll have to get out of the car in my jammies and slippers. Or worse, I run out of gas and will have to walk to the gas station. I’m also very picky about my jammies. I don’t like the silky or satin kinds which people seem to like to give me as gifts. I wear the flannel kinds in the winter and the t-shirt boxer kind in the summer. Spring and fall jammies fall somewhere in between. In fact I’m wearing jammies now and I know you are curious to what kind. They are blue pajama pants and a tee that reads “relax, unwind, let loose, chill out in the hills of Beverly”. That sounds kind of bad, doesn’t it? I got them from Target. What do you suppose it means?
- This one is in reference to number one. I often drive my car on empty. I wait until the dial is completely on the orange before I get gas. It’s stupid and fortunately I haven’t run out of gas. It must be the rebel in me.
- I read People magazine every Friday night. And I mean I read it. I don’t just look at the pictures. I read every article. If I don’t finish it on Friday I read it when I can during the week. I feel stressed if I don’t have it all read by the next Friday. I know, I have issues.
- I read the newspaper every morning while I eat breakfast. Not the online version but the actual black and white paper kind. And unlike People I do not read every article.
- Up until last week I did not own a debit card or ATM card. I wrote checks for everything. I could feel people getting pissy behind me in the check out lines. I pay most of my bills online and use Paypal so I’m not completely in the dark ages. It’s that rebel thing I’ve got going on.
- I’m not embarrassed to fart in front of my kids or friends. In fact I’ve been known to fart on friend’s answering machines. (Oops, I may have mentioned that before). I am embarrassed to fart in front of my hubby because he has never farted around me. At least not on purpose. I know, it’s weird, a guy who doesn’t publicy fart and boast about it. I do feel that we might be missing out on a bonding experience.
- I’m a glamour girl. I didn’t realize that some people think of me in that way until my sister’s friend saw a photo of me and said, “Oh, your sister is a glamour girl.” Not exactly sure what she meant and I was a little offended by it’s connotation. Am I a glamour girl because I do put my face on to go out in public, I dress trendy and like to feel sexy? If that’s what she meant well then I’m a glamour girl and I’m not apologizing for it.
Now it’s your turn to tell me 7 things i never knew I wanted to know. You are all “it”.

I love pajamas too but mine are mostly ALL Tweety! LOL on the farting. My kids actually think that I don’t fart! I’m such a priss about it! Oh well.

I LURVE PJ’s and would live in them all day if I could. I even have the adult footsie kind for the winter with kittens and toasters all over them (my husband hates them!).

Unfortunately, Mr. Mayhem farts in front of me FAR too often!

You are truly an enigma wrapped in a mystery my dear. A glamour girl who wears pj’s in public? Farting in front of friends but not hubby?
Odd.

YIPPEE!! Great meme!! You’re hilarious
Hubbers wants to know what’s wrong with your husband, since HE farts all the time, loud and proud!! He wants to fart on the answering machine now. Ah, my man…
And how can you live without a debit card?! It’s my holy grail…

You are lucky your husband doesn’t do the whole fart in public thing. Mine does. I too don’t do that in front of him but he has informed me that I am a “sleep farter.” heheheheh ….See…that’s what you get.

I worry about getting in a car accident while wearing my jammies, too. Can totally relate to being a jammie-loving glamor girl. Afer all, I am wearing a white cotton nightie with embroidered rosebuds and spaghetti straps as we speak. Oh, can’t forget the yummy, fuzzy purple chenille robe!

I wear pajamas all the time, too. They’re just so dang comfy! And I don’t like the silky kind, either.
I think my new favorite cool weather jammies are the waffle-type thermal jammies. NICE!

Farting? In front of friends? Maybe we need to rethink that whole roommate sitch at BlogHer. (No. Not really.) heehee
(I WISH MY hubby wouldn’t fart in front of me. He can stink up the entire freaking house!)
LOVE jammies too. Am wearing Target ones now as well! Now whenever I go to Target and see the jammies, I’ll think of you!

I thought you were glamorous when I met you. I don’t think you should be offended. Glamorous is a good thing to be. My own sister is pretty glamorous.
I, however, can’t muster it even when I try.

I was labeled glamourous too, but I don’t think it was meant in a positive way. Alaskan’s associate glamour with prissiness… and that’s worse than being “high maintenance.”
Whatever, I still like to look good and even put on my make-up to go for a run.
Power to the rebels!
