Seven Interesting, True or Weird Things About Me!
I was tagged for the same tag by two of my favorite bloggers, Fragile What and Stuff in My Brain. Both blog about their lives. Personal blogs are my favorite.
I have to list seven unique things about myself that people may not know. They should be interesting, weird or true. Then, I tag seven more amazingly wonderful bloggers to do the same.
One: Stuff in My Brain was talking about how he does finger games and it reminded me of a weird thing I do. When I am driving or walking or thinking...okay I guess I do this a lot...I will use my pointer finger to write out words that I see or write out one word that has to do with something I am thinking. I trace the letters in a small fashion in the hopes that no one will notice what I am doing. Joe always notices and finds it kinda funny when I do this. He will ask, "What are you writing?!" Usually, I don't really realize I am doing it. I guess it helps me focus or not focus on something.
Two: I like urban decay. I do appreciate the homes near us that are kept up and nice looking but I also enjoy looking at the ones that are really run down. We have a lot of condemned houses in our neighborhood and I enjoy looking at them and wondering what brought them to their decrepit state. I enjoy driving under bridges that are practically falling apart, we have a few of these in our neighborhood. I like the way the stone is breaking apart from the wall and I see designs within the areas that are falling apart. I love alleys and seeing the backs of houses, mainly janky looking ones. It brings me great joy to drive through ghost towns and see any abandoned buildings. If I could I would be one of those people that breaks into abandoned buildings and photographically documents what they find. I believe they are called Urban Explorers. I have extensive photos of some places I have been but Joe would not allow me to go inside. He is the wise one in the family!
Three: I love wearing my hair in pig tails. I love it even more when Maizie and I both have our hair in pig tails.
Four: I love dry erase boards. If I had my own studio I would have one wall be a giant dry erase board. I think Maizie would like it too.
Five: There are some days when I feel homesick for New Jersey. Despite my employment challenges and other mishaps there are certain days where I feel "itchy" and misplaced. It feels like I am not where I am supposed to be, even still. Which, to me...is just plain weird. Or maybe it is just a craving for Bachagaloops Pizza.
Six: Sometimes I miss my sister Melissa so much that it physically hurts.
Seven: If I could take my dog Darwin with me everywhere I go, I would.
Now I will tag seven others. If you have time please do the above tag and have fun with it! Hopefully none of you have all ready done this particular tag! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

That is such a beautiful photo of you and your sister.
MB: I've been tagged with this one already! I'll try to dig it up and provide a hyperlink in my next posting.
Thanks for thinking of me!

You strike me as a piggy tail person, so I think it's cute that you enjoy them.
I love the abandoned building picture. I want so badly to peek inside.
I have actually done this meme twice and I can't think of another 7 things! You can see my first 7 here and numbers 8 - 14 here.
Thanks for thinking of me for the tag. Maybe next time.
:>)
I love the odd and unusual buildings and strange elements around town too. Almost everyday I pass by a fence with a steer head (plastic) on it; I keep meaning to take a picture and blog about it. Things like that really make me wonder about the people who live there.
Geesh! I knew it would be hard to find someone who has not done this tag before, but I did not know it would be this hard. Oh, well. I guess I am one of the last! Time to think up some new tags friends!
Well Marla, you're in luck, I have never been taged for anything even remotely like this, so I will think about it and get on it.
Thanks!
Katrin! Great! Enjoy, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I changed the tag to include two people I don't think have done this one yet. Thanks for letting me know Jerry and Amy.
I haven't been tagged with this one either. Thanks for thinking of me! And I have a similar hand thing. I will sign the letters of the words floating through my mind over and over again. I do it at night, and it gets on my husband's nerves.
Now that you mentioned the dry erase board I will imagine all my dream houses with a dry erase wall. That would be soo coool!!!
thanks for the tag. I haven't done this one yet, so I will soon.
I love dry erase boards too. when I was in elementary school, my dad worked part time at the local community college teaching drafting. A couple times a month he would let me come and I'd spend half the night covering and then cleaning the 2 walls of dry erase. He even had scented markers for me. mmmmmmmmm. :)
I prefer a dry erase board over a chalk board any time.
I think you look awesome in pigtales, when my sister and I were little (and plagued with very short hair) we would put dishtowels on our heads and we would make pigtails with rubber bands and pretend we had long hair.
I also love urban decay. I love to ride the train into the city and look at all the buildings in various states of disrepair.
I love seeing pictures of you and your family.
I'm also a fan of urban decay. There are some gorgeous, old, run down houses around the Twin Cities - abandoned buildings too. I often wonder what they used to look like in their pristine state.
I've been planning a while now on doing another post on what the three of us like. I may have to get on it more. Or I may do this (even though I wasn't tagged). It's fun to share and learn new things about each other.
I invented the eraser for dry erase markers- had to learn everything about white boards, inks and care so if you ever need help of want to test out our new products- it is on me! Julia@kleenslate.com visit my web site at kleenslate.com and I will send you some samples-

I've said it before and I shall say it again; Maizie is absolutely gorgeous. Her smile will melt a thousand hearts.

I can't stand chalk and have to have a dry-erase board for teaching. When we lived in SF, I always felt agitated and "itchy" too because I felt so out of my element (which is Texas--quite an element). And I missed my sister VERY much while we were out there.
Maizie is just adorable.
i liked reading your answers. and seeing the photographs. i miss my sister too. sisters are something special, eh?
oh, and i LOVE your pigtails! my hair doesn't work long but i've tried to put it in pigtails anyway! i have pigtail envy!
I think you did a great job doing this meme! Your answers were a lot of fun, and interesting. However, I especially loved the pictures that you posted. The one with you and your sister is just beautiful. I also love the one of you and Maizie with the pigtails. It adds the perfect touch to all your posts.
XOXOXO
