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 love Dr. Pepper and peanut M&M's when I am on a road trip.

4. I broke both bones in my right arm in the fourth grade after jumping off a filing cabinet in my room claiming that I could do a triple axle – just watch!! 🙂

1. I love odd nail polish colors!
2. I am horrible at doing hair. Good thing I have naturally good hair! God only knows why He gave me two daughters! I get so frustrated trying to give them good hair do's and myself too!
3. I hate cleaning. My house is a disaster. I have been known to watch at least a clip of "hoarders" cause it makes me feel better about my house!
4. I love to collect mugs.
5. I absolutely loved college and wish I could go back. I keep reminding myself it won't be the same. I now have three kids, so I can't run around at night like I did before.
6. My husband is a professional Boy Scout, so as much as I like airconditioning I frequently find myself out in the woods.
7. I'm a hockey mom. No, not my son, my tomboy daughter. She's crazy, what can I say!
8. I'm way too easy on my kids and am pretending right now that I don't hear them when they're supposed to be asleep.
9. I want to write bible studies just like our siesta mama.
10. I have never believed the people who say that I don't need every shade of lipstick and every shade of nailpolish ever created. It's all I can do not to buy them all! The idea of starving my children in favor of lipstick and nailpolish always stops me!
Hey, I just realized I'm not totally boring!
