Random. Really random.

Okay, I rarely do memes. Rarely as in, NEVER.

But every time I see this one, I find myself wanting to do it. Because it’s usually called something like, “Seven Random Things About Me” or, “Five Strange Things About Me.”

And let’s face it, I’m pretty random and strange.

So when Heather at Home With Heather tagged me to do this meme, I decided, hey, why not?

I’m choosing the “Seven Random Things About Me” title, and going with it. So in no particular order and of no importance whatsoever...

1. I’ve (not) got rhythm. I’ve played the piano for years. I’ve been singing since I was a toddler. But my rhythm is SAD, people. Very sad. John, on the other hand, has not only perfect pitch, but perfect rhythm. I knew I married him for a reason.

2. As much as I love the idea of a nice, long, hot bubble bath, I have a hard time actually relaxing in the tub. The reason? I never feel like the tub is clean enough. Either it hasn’t been cleaned that week, or it’s freshly cleaned and I’m just sure there’s shower cleaner residue in my bath water. That tends to make the whole relaxation thing a little difficult.

3. I have a small, very light mole freckle on my right hand middle finger. When I was a little girl, I was so horribly embarrassed by it that I would hold my thumb over it when I’d raise my hand to ask a question. Just to, you know, not draw attention to it. For some reason, I’m not so sure that was the best way to accomplish such a goal.

4. My signature crazy face. Now THAT is random.

5. Doing too much blog-hopping overwhelms me and I end up quickly shutting my computer and pushing it far away from me. There are a LOT of people out there, peeps. A LOT. And for some reason, that overwhelms me in a huge way. I tend to read the same blogs most of the time, and have a hard time finding new ones without being freaked out by the sheer number of bloggers out there.

6. I am terribly cheap. Not frugal. CHEAP. A penny-pincher. A miser. I hate to spend money. I have a really hard time with the whole “ya get whatcha pay fer” idea. Instead of spending money on a quality item or two, I end up spending even more money on a bunch of cheap stuff. Good character quality, that one. Mmhmm.

7. I have virtually no brain since having kids. I don’t know exactly what happened to it. I have a few ideas, but… oh, wait, what were they again? I don’t remember. Just like I no longer remember all the random things I’ve always thought I’d use if I ever did this meme.

So there you have it. Seven random things you never wanted to know about me.

(I am, however, going to be answering some questions on Monday that have been coming in via email and comments lately. Some of you have been asking some of the same things, and I thought I’d just answer them all at once. So if you asked me something recently, look for the answer Monday. If I remember it, of course. Which may be hard, considering my lack of a brain and all.)

Now the "rules" state that you're supposed to tag seven other bloggers to do this meme. But most of the people I know have already done it. Ages ago.

(I know, I'm always the last to jump on the bandwagon. Please don't hold it against me.)

(If you haven't already done this, and you want to, consider yourself tagged. And let me know you did it, so I can go find out if you're as weird as I am.)

I'm changing the rules. Instead of tagging seven people, I'm "tagging" all of you to tell me ONE random thing about yourself in the comments. Hey, if I have to bare my random soul, you do too.
