Hi, Siestas! I think I’ve got a fun one! I saw this idea in one of those complimentary airline magazines and showed it to Michelle (who was sitting right next to me) with great enthusiasm and said, “I’m going to do this with the Siestas!” to which she dryly said, “Great, Ma’am.” (I adore her. To say that she has whiplash after going from Washington D.C. to Living Proof Ministries is the understatement of the year. She really doesn’t want to talk a lot about mascara and would not be caught stone-cold-dead in a pair of Capri pants. And never in her entire life has she had to keep a small bottle of anointing oil in her brief case…just in case her boss calls for it. She has also never before had a boss request a photo-shopped picture of herself on a Spiderman costume. A post for another time.)
I’m sorry. I have a little ADD this morning. Back to my idea. It’s not very original but I think it will be a blast. As we’re getting to know one another here in Siestaville, let’s hit the fast forward button. What are 10 things – right off the top of your head – that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don’t go for deep. Go for quirky. Don’t try to put them in any kind of order and don’t make them long. Just start typing. I’ll go first to give you the idea.
1. I have an addiction to Ziploc bags.
2. I hate wet socks worse than almost anything.
3. I was the only baby out of 5 born to my mother with no anesthesia. She never forgot it.
4. I wore braces for 12 years. I still often sleep in a retainer.
5. I am a read-aholic. I read over others’ shoulders. I walk the aisle on airplanes to see what others are reading. I read what’s laying on people’s desks during meetings while they think I’m listening.
6. I love Black music.
7. I need slices of cakes and pies to be cut neatly with a sharp knife and not gouged out with a fork. (Nearly just got a shiver at the thought.)
8. My children call me “Doodle.” I no longer remember why. Sometimes just “The Doods.”
9. I am a very slow driver.
10. I’m a go-girl. I love the rush of taking off in an airplane. I smile almost every time.
OK, Siestas! What about you? What are 10 quirky things we might not know?
1) I'm a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan.
2) I eat oysters out of the can
3) My best friends call me JED.
4) My four best friends and I have been together for well over 10 years now.
5) The thought of wearing shorts in public makes me cringe.
6) I've watched pro wrestling for as long as I can remember.
7) I love onion and extra cheese pizza!
8) I met my husband online.
9) When I get home for the night, the first thing I do is get into my pajamas.
10) I grew up around a restaurant.

To: Linda (Sewfordough)11:30 AM, dear sister, thank you so much for being obedient to the Lord in responding to my post about losing my mom this week. That was my "bediddlie" from God. See your name "Linda" was also my sister's name whom I lost when she was 8 and i was 9. and your "sewfordough" represents my mom and grandmother, who sewed making dolls to make a living for the last 20 years before they passed. So in commenting you allowed my Savior to gently tell me how much he understands my sorrow, and he loves me. So your post means more to me than I can possibly put into words. Thank you, and I praise Him! Thank you Beth for this opportunity! I really needed this.
