This May or May Not be the truth about Me!

I've been tagged by Anissa to reveal a few random facts about myself. I had to think about what you don't know already, that I'm willing to reveal, and that isn't too dead boring.

1) I studied Pottery in college. This was in 1991, soon after the movie Ghost was a huge hit, and yes I had done my application for the course before I saw the movie!! I took a lot of joking about it though. I loved pottery; the wet clay squishing through my fingers, learning how to make a three dimensional and hopefully functional object, watching it take shape under my hands. The course also including drawing, art and craft history, photography and um...pub night. I only lasted a year. When Jethro got a job opportunity in Memphis, Tennessee, I decided not to finish the course. Now that I look back, I think the whole thing was an attempt to run away from what I really should have been studying, still telling myself that I couldn't write for a living and horses were just a hobby for me. What a joke. Like I thought I had a head for business to make a living selling my own work as a potter. In any case, I now have a high appreciation for hand made crafts!

2) I have ten moles on my face. Four in my eyebrows. Not including freckles. Seriously, I just counted them.

3) I have gained ten lbs in the last 6 months. I'm not totally happy about this. Because my Wranglers don't fit anymore. My chaps still fit around my thunder thighs up until about two years ago but I might have to give them away because I just ain't 18 anymore.

4) I wash my hair twice a week. Unless I get really dirty or the barn is particularly stinky. My friend's barn (where I chore twice during the weekdays) has dirt floors in the stalls and is bedded with shavings and really doesn't smell bad. I kind of like how my hair smells a few days after a wash and after a barn visit. And I don't think that makes me weird.

5) I am 36 years old and I still practice making funny faces in the mirror.

6) I have a pretty bad phone phobia. I hate anwering it. I sometimes go for days without checking messages and then I have to get Jethro to do it because I'd rather hide under my desk.

7) It's not that I hate housecleaning...it's just that I never know how to start. I stand there and stare at the mess, run a hand through my hair, wonder if I should dust first and then vacuum, or pick things up first, or wash the dishes, or should I run a load of laundry first and then sweep, or get a bag started to give to the thrift store...and then I either siddown with a book or go outside. This is why I don't often invite people over to my house...

8) I'm paranoid about dirty feet in my bed. In the summer everybody has to wash their feet before bed and I freak out if the cat and dog get their paws on my bedsheet. They're allowed on the comforter but NOT where I get in! I won't even wear the socks I walked around in during the day to bed. I have special bed socks. If I find grit in my bed I lose my mind. Oddly, tiny green bits of hay don't bother me. Again I do not think this makes me weird- I think it makes perfect sense.

I'm not very good at tagging people...so could you all just write back and tell me what we have in common? Or not!
