I'M IT!

2-7 Random Corky/Weird Facts About Myself

1. I have a phobia of eating the remainders of any type of food. For example, eating the last pickle in the pickle jar...you can just forget it! Or the last mL of soda in the can... not gonna happen. Jason thinks I'm really annoying when it comes to this. He finds me opening new food items when the old one isn't empty yet. We basically have a fridge full of food with one item left in the pack, or just a little left on the bottom. Weird, I know.

2. I have to have my neck covered when I sleep. This was and still is a bad habit formed when "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" came out on tv. I've secretly been freaked out ever since. For some strange reason, I think that I won't be a victim if my neck/head is covered. I know, it doesn't make sense, but I can't sleep unless my neck is covered.

3. I have a huge DVD collection... love to watch movies. So, can someone explain to me why I get so excited when movies are on tv? I already own it, but now that it's on tv it is so much better and I have to watch! It not only takes longer to view while on tv, because of the commercials, but I already own it. Why do I get so excited? Weird. I think it's like a surprise...maybe?

4. This is something that makes me cringe and want to die. When someone accidently rubs my hand and lifts my nails slightly, it drives me crazy! Especially with my toes. It scares me that my nails will get lifted and fall off. I know that this won't happen unless there is a greater force, but still, it triggers the thought of it and freaks me out. Kills me.

5. I'm really weird with textures. My couch right now is like a tan, suede material and I can touch it. It's fine and comfortable. But if my feet rub against it, it induces a cringe, racing heart and chills. I can't do it. I don't know why.

6. I am deathly afraid of consuming expired food. I throw things away at least two days before the expiration date. It scares me. I just think, maybe the person labeling the expiration dates made a mistake. What if they were wrong and it actually goes bad before the predicted date? I think I know where this one came from. My mom used to buy the gallon chocolate milks from the grocery store. As some of you know, my dad is an elementary school teacher. So one day, he scored a lot of free little chocolate milks from the cafeteria. He came home, opened each of the individual cartons and poured them into one of the old gallon containers that used to hold the store bought chocolate milk. Mind you, they all had their own expiration dates... It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out. Yes, I was not aware of what my dad did. I went to the fridge one day, poured me a huge glass of chocolate milk, and chugged away. It was the sickest thing in the world and almost landed me in the hospital. Truly. The date on the container from which I drank read later than the expiration dates from the individual containers my good ol' dad poured in it. The result was sour sour sour sour milk that made me puke in the kitchen sink.
Thanks Dad

I think I need to go on Intervention. Okay, I tag Kami, Rachel, and Liz.

Just what has she been up to you ask? Serious business, that's what

Where's Waldo?

It was touch and go for a while...

My Best Friend

I know...It's been a while...

I'm sorry it's been such a long time since my last posting. This is a picture of my friends Julie and Ashley...along with myself on one of our lab days. As you can see, we don't take life too seriously. I swear, I have not laughed so hard in my life as I have in nursing school. I've just been sitting here reminiscing of the times we've all had together and I'm crackin' myself up. It's been such a fun experience and I've met so many amazing people along the way. Graduation and moving on with my life is bitter-sweet because I'm going to miss everyone so much!
