Linda at 2nd Cup tagged me. It is SO HARD for me to go on and on about myself...but I'll give it a shot, for the sake of art.
The rules for this meme are: (1) Link to the person that tagged you.
(2) Post the rules on your blog. (3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. (4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. (5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
Missy Quirks
1) I love Judge Judy. It just might be my favorite show. I think it is a fascinating sociological study and I have learned so, so much about how people with absolutely no values live and seek revenge on each other. I think I started watching it when Shep was a newborn so now it has the comforting element to it. After Walker gets home, my favorite way to de-stress is to watch it all alone and sometimes fall asleep to it. Certain programs become like comfort food to me - the summer between my sophomore and junior year of college, my boyfriend broke my heart into 48,763 pieces and I made a whole videotape of Bewitched and laid on my mom's couch in a depressed stupor all summer, watching Samantha twitch her nose. The black and white ones only. Made me feel better.
2) I always sit down in the shower (that was Walker's contribution). I mean, why stand when you can sit? He also added "You eat like a dude" but I am not counting that. He also said I am a clutter fiend and I leave a Missy trail throughout the whole house. And that I don't like Stevie Wonder. Ok, ok, sorry I asked.
3) I am the hairiest white girl you have ever seen. I know that may be TMI but I spend so much time, energy and money trying remove or bleach about 75% of the very dark hair on my arms, legs, and face that it is a little bit of a career. And boy, did pregnancy have a field day with that predisposition. I keep my tweezers in my car (the best light) and at every stoplight I flip down my mirror and get to plucking. You can tell how much I have gotten out of the house by the state of my unibrow and, er, mis-stache.
4) I am a germophobe. Getting married and having kids has changed that a lot, but I am still very upset about the fact that my children were sitting on the grocery store floor today and to be honest, I have been a little lazy about potty training partly because the idea of taking them and their little wandering hands into public restrooms makes me break out in a cold sweat. The only public potty I sit on without putting TP down is at church, because I consider that as a sign of faith. Jesus will protect me from the potty germs on consecrated ground. I cannot go to bed without a shower and every night when I get in bed I ask my husband if he has brushed his teeth. It really, really, really annoys him.
5) I take about 15-20 vitamins and natural supplements every night. This shocks even me.
6) I have a brother named Jay who is a blues guitarist. If you know blues guitarists, you probably know who he is. In that genre, he is slightly famous.
Really, I could go on and on, but it only asked for six.
Ok, the tag-ees are:

Wow! Hmmm... I have to come with 6 quirky/random- yet entertaining facts about ME? OK- but it might take me a day to come up with it all...
Missy, Thanks for stopping by. I want to respond to your comment on my blog.
It makes me really sad to hear that there are women waiting to be mentored and no one is showing up.
I have the opposite issue here. I am waiting to mentor and love on younger women and I can't find them.
I went up to one woman who is 29. (I am 50) She had shared some in church so I knew a little. I felt like God was telling me to offer my heart to her, so I did. She looked at me kinda strange and thanked me. She came to me a week later and said, "my husband thinks I should take you up on your offer".
I said, "well what is God telling you?" She said, "well God speaks through my husband". "Yes", but what do you feel like God is saying?"
The point is she doesn't even know she needs an older woman in her life. As far as she knows she is doing just fine. If she doesn't want an older woman cheering her along on her journey then there is no point, in my opinion. She won't be open.
Most of the younger women I come across seem just fine on their own, no real need for an older woman 20 years ahead of them to walk with them.
I offer where I feel God leading, and trust Him with the results.
It's kinda sad, isn't it? I desire to mentor and there are not many women desiring and your friend desire it but there are not many women offering.
If your friends want, you can send them to my blog and they can write on there to me. I would love to encourage their hearts.
Have a blessed day!
I enjoyed reading about you. Your children are just precious.

Fellow germophobe here...
Fun list! :) I enjoyed reading and learning more about you.
This should be fun, because I am pretty narcissistic and don't mind at all talking about myself. :) Mind if I steal your clever title though? I don't know if I could come up with a better one... :)
Oh, and another thing... thank you for your last comment on my blog. Your words fell on fertile soil. :) And I am totally looking forward to being freaked out by God! :) I'll keep you posted on my what's-goin-ons. :)
Thanks again, xo
First of all - thanks for the tag! Although, it will be sheer torture to come up with six things about myself!
Secondly - 15-20 vitamins and supplements a NIGHT? That's a post in and of itself and I do hope you'll share.
Thirdly - I also like to think of church as a germ-free zone. And I would NOT use a public restroom until I was like eighteen. I think I might have done some permanent bladder damage.
(And would you look at that? I can't even shut up about myself in someone else's comments. Awesome.)
Oh my gosh Megan, me too! I would NEVER go in the nasty restrooms in high school and hold it till I got home. I retained an amazing bladder until December of 2002. Hmmm, wonder what robbed me of my superpowers??
it's a choice: children or super elastic bladder. I guess I must have been attached to my super, long-car-ride-worthy, whole-concerts-at-a-time, entire-work-day, bladder. ;-)
You forgot to mention that you smell lipstick before you buy it.
:)
Oh, yeah, some readers have known you for a loooong time!
