I Am Not Weird

I've been tagged by Janina at Bear Bugga for a fun meme. I'm supposed to name 7 weird facts about myself. Sounds like fun, except I'm SURE there's absolutely NOTHING weird about me. So I guess I can't play.

Okay, you know I'm lying. I'm about as weird as they come. So I guess I can probably come up with 7 weird facts about myself to share. And how appropriate that this would come today, as it's Friday Fun. It's also my 50th post, and I was hoping to do something special! So here goes. Let's see...

1. I hate vegetables. I don't think that's weird, but my husband tells me it is. I will eat corn and peas, canned, but that's about it.

2. I don't think I can drive without singing. I know people must look at me like I'm nuts. It's a habit. But I usually do manage to restrain myself when someone, besides the kids, is in the car with me.

3. Speaking of driving. I don't really like to drive all that much. I had a couple accidents when I was seventeen and didn't drive again until I was twenty-one. Then I wouldn't drive on the interstate. I've gotten past that, but I still really hate driving in cities.

4. I fidget. Really bad. One of my legs is always going. It drives my poor husband nuts, but I just can't help it.

5. I don't think this is weird, but you may not have known that I have Attention Deficit Disorder. Lots of people think that only kids have ADD, but it's not something you outgrow. And I've learned that it affects women differently than men. Lots of times women don't really notice it until they have kids, which adds to their responsibilities and stress.

6. I'm allergic to wheat and milk. Yep, both of them. I get cold symptoms, like a stuffy, runny nose and cough. Sometimes if I eat a lot of chocolate or cheese, I'll get a terrible migraine. Now that I'm getting older, I've noticed that I also feel very fatigued if I eat a lot of bad things. I've been terrible about sticking to my diet recently, but I hope to get back to it when the kids are back in school. I feel much better when I cut out the wheat and milk, and I lose weight.

7. I don't watch much TV. Which is weird, because I used to watch a lot. I've never seen Big Brother, Lost, or Survivor. I do watch HGTV, Home and Garden Television. And I guess I watch a lot of Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. Darn it, I just realized I don't watch TV because the kids are always hogging it!

So there you have it, seven weird things about me. Probably more than you ever wanted to know. But I'd like to know more about some of my blogging friends, and the rules here say I have to tag more folks.
