ReplyDeleteThat's nuts! Do you cover your ears and scream "turn it off! Turn it off!"
LOL! You're right...I didn't know most of those things about you. Fun list!
ReplyDeleteI knew lots of those things ;0)...I am pretty sure I even have pictures to back it up!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is that you don't like to look at condiments on a plate. That made me laugh out loud. I think you forgot the one about watching the Lawrence Welk show, LOL.

ReplyDeleteThat was fun to read! You sound like a wonderful baker.... mmmmm... i love love love wheat bread, especially homemade.

ReplyDeleteAnd I still have a weird, sinking feeling whenever I hear an ice cream truck. I think that must have come from you :0)
Interesting things. I fall asleep in the movies too! Even if it's one Paul picks and there are explosions and gunfire.
