- I sneeze when I eat chocolate and if I sneeze once, I will almost always sneeze twice.
- I am really good at lists. To keep my life organized, I use an Uncalendar and I am obsessed with it. Sometimes I write a list of lists I need to write, or put things on my list that I have already accomplished just so I can check them off!
- I am the best orange-peeler I know. Seriously, try me. I can almost always get the entire peel off in one piece.
- My nickname when I was a child was Doo-Ball. I returned the favor by nicknaming my father Dirt Bag.
- I can type fast - like really fast, and accurate. So can my sister. I think it is probably from our piano-playing days and working at law firms.
- I don't buy carnations. No exceptions. However, I do not discriminate against flowers purchased for me - just in case you were wondering.
- I cannot paint my fingernails or toenails - seriously, I am terrible with the tiny paint brush. I think I own one bottle of polish and no polish remover.
- I believe Vick's VapoRub and Advil Cold & Sinus can pretty much cure anything. Too bad I can't get Advil Cold & Sinus without a prescription in Oregon any longer. Thank you, Idaho.
- Everyone in my family loves iced tea (more than is probably healthy) and I cannot stand it. Lemonade, on the other hand, is oh-so refreshing.
- My elbows are really weird.

You must be extremely bored today! You are right, we do type very fast, and my students are always impressed that I can type without looking at my fingers!
YOU are hilarious.
I am sneezing alot lately but not from chocolate. I am one of those sick freaks that hates sweets. I'd rather have a slice of cheese. Or a deep fat fried jalapeno popper.
I am getting nothing done today because I have a whole day and no structure. I can only perform under pressure and tight time squeezes.
I think carnations with baby's breath is a hideous "safeway" bouquet. But colored carnations by themselves can be kind of amazing. AND they last for 3 weeks.
My nicknames include: Lizzy, Barfy, Bethy, Geyser, Old Faithful, Twinnie....
I never paint my fingernails. I have Martha working girl hands. My toenails need serious professional help. My feet are a tropical fungal playground. Disgusting.
Ice tea? Lemonade? Nope. Chardonnay!
My drug of choice is exedrine. LOVE that shit.
Love ya!
@Alisha: Not bored, I have actually been keeping this list in my planner for months and finally came up with ten :)
I used to race my students and would buy them a milkshake if they could beat me at WPM and accuracy. Needless to say, I never had to buy a milkshake!
@Beth:I love you - I am seriously laughing out loud while laptopping in bed - Chad is like, "wtf"? Hahaha... you need a blog - seriously. What better way to track your adventures, crafts, recipes, and more!??
Think about it and I will think of names for your blog!
I am the same way - I didn't work on my thesis for three months and busted out 20 pages in one day before my draft was due. No structure or deadlines means I sit on the couch and drink a bottle of pinot gris... oops! :)
Agreed on the carnations, I have seen great things done with them - like http://www.hostessblog.com/2009/03/getting-creative-with-carnations/.
I too do the professional thing with the toes - but I have missed my last two appointments meaning my feet are often covered in socks to keep people from running away from the sight of them.
Miss you - wish I were seeing you in AZ ... I think I have said that a few times.
Ooooooo I think I need those recipes.
How do you set up a blog? My twin is always looking at design blogs. I don't think I have broken into the wide world of blogging but those carnation photos are awesome. I did a bouquet like the stick ones in my floral design class last winter. Maybe I need to sign up for a few classes again this winter. Do you have a cricut? OMG, you would LOVE it.
