Weird things I do
My kids all say I am weird. I guess I can agree.
I don't let anyone pull the icicles off the house. I like the way they look and don't want them pulled off.
When I am in anyone's house I automatically (in my mind) start rearranging the furniture. I can usually come up with much better ways to fix it. One day I was sitting in my sister's living room, rearranging it in my head. She looks at me (and being somewhat weird herself and used to my weirdness) asks me how I am arranging it. I say, "Let me show you!" and we proceed to move around her entire living room- and well actually a bit of the kitchen as well. 
There are a lot more weird things about me, how about you?

My name is Donna and I have a problem....more like an obsession...a gross obsession....I pop bumps...not just my own...anyone's...if I were going to be a Dr I would definately be a dermatalogist. And it doesn't stop with acne....nope I've got ingrown hair issues as well...my family goes to great pains to hide their blemishes from me. Every once in awhile my husband will say, "Hey, I got something for you." my eyes light up..."Ingrown hair?" he answers "yep"....I run get my needle, tweezers and somtimes magifying glass....oddly,flowers and candy do nothing for me... 
Feels good to get that off my chest...

Ha, Ha I do this too! My BF calls it my "monkey mode" as I will pick a person over like those monkeys that groom each other on PBS nature shows.
You are not alone!

Girls, you need to come over here. Dh has some seriously bad ingrown thingys all over. Once a year I have to attack him. I do feel like a monkey. I haven't done it in a while.
I was gonna buy him one of those little vacuums.

Actually Melissa, I though that strawberry/ peanut butter/ sardine thing was a bit odd, yes I was reading your mind quite a few years back!

LOL The bump thing must be a female issue. I have it too. My thing is when I go to someone else's house I start cleaning (only in my mind though). I can't help it!

OMG I LOVE to do that! especially black heads. I've developed a pretty good tackling/grapling/hold technique so I can hold my 300lb hubby down. It got so bad that sometimes I almost salivate when I see one on a person's nose. PLEASE HELP ME! Oh, I also loooove to tweeze unibrows

I talk for my cats. In a raspy voice (same for both cats). They sing, too, and often change the words to songs to make them cat-related - for example, Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady goes: "Foxy Kitty - comin' to pet ya!"

Heh heh - I just remembered the song the tortie cat was singing last weekend, about the catnip-stuffed mouse toy:
Tortie, tortie, hallelujah,
Catnip mouse I'm gonna chew ya;
Sink my sharpened claws
In your soft and soggy jaws:
My paws go prancing on!
[Yes, everyone I know does think I'm insane, why do you ask?]

Your not wierd. Your normal. I do this too, head decorating. It must be the artist/creative person that lives inside me.

HA HA HA!! You guys are cracking me up about the ingrown hair/acne thing. . .now I can prove to DH that it isn't just me that has the strange obsession.
I have to arrange groceries on the conveyor belt in the category which they belong, otherwise I get a little looney. All of the boxed items have to be together, frozen, canned, and so on and so forth. My husband doesn't even try to help if he is with me. .he just stands back and shakes his head.
I started dancing all of the time when I am in the kitchen (which seems like all of the time). My kids have started doing the same thing! It makes me smile when I am just busting a move for no good reason and my 2 1/2 yo DD is bouncing around me and grooving too.
I am sure I have many other weird things that I do. . .but to me they aren't weird they are normal!

I have 2 weird obsessions---1. a tooth/mouth obession! I love white, bright, straight teeth and a huge smile... I floss and brush many times a day and check my teeth a 100x a day..My children went to the dentist 3 times a yr. for the first 18 yrs of their life (yes, I took them when they got their first tooth ) and I have more money in their mouths than I do in my house.They all (now) have one of the whitest, brightest, healthest smiles on the planet....... My teeth are not white and they are not perfect but it's not because they aren't taken care of... When, I win the lottery--I am going to have everyone of them capped and those who look at me are gonna need sunglasses...they'll be so bright
2. whiskers/hair on my face... I will pick at a hair until I make a sore or I pluck it......... I have told all my children IF they see me with hair on my face they are to pluck it or take me to get it waxed --NO matter how old I am or when I am gone --I will haunt them....I see women w/ facial hair and actually feel sorry for them--I would pluck/wax it if I knew them.
Dh said he is going to bury me w/ a toothbrush, dental floss and a pair of tweezers!!! You know it's bad when, you have a new toothbrush every month, every room/purse/jacket pocket/car/truck has several containers of floss --hidden and 25 pr.+ of tweezers!

Is it any wonder that males fear the females? How much more proof is needed?
Going to check last nights lotto now, will be back once the adrenalin settles......
It could be 19 million.....
Nope, but its up to 25 million for Saturday.

Melissa, would you come visit me? I need serious help with the furniture arrangement in my living room!!!!
I do the mental cleaning thing with people's yards...not that mine is neat and tidy all the time, but that's different, dontcha know. 
I'm a compulsive list-maker. I have to-do lists, done lists, goals for the year, the month, the day, stock inventory lists, inventory lists, grocery lists, the lists go on....

Crack me up! I enjoy my eccentricities...I am actually practicing being cuckoo so that when I am older...no one will pay me any mind and I can get away with tons!
I sing to my flowers! They grow much taller and bushier than they are supposed to....so I guess that they like it! I also sing to my cat, my dog and my chickens! My basset hound will sing along sometimes!
I do enjoy a good zit popping once in a while....but hubby has a gorgeous Native American/Scottish complexion...(they both look good in a dress don'tcha know!) and so alas...I don't get to pop them very often! I leave my boys alone! Poor things...they had to put up with me singing to them....so I leave their zits alone!
