Wednesday Weirdness

Since it is Wednesday, I decided to write a few of the weird things in my life and weird things about me, too.

1) I eat kinda weird. My two favorite sandwiches are: A) Peanut butter, banana and bacon on whole wheat, and, B) A whole wheat pitas filled with crispy romaine lettuce, raw sunflower seeds, sharp cheddar cheese, ham and Italian or Raspberry Walnut salad dressing.
Yeah...kinda weird. But both are so YUMMY!
Also, I eat ketchup with fries ONLY. Never with any other food. Just fries. And I rarely eat fries, so a bottle of ketchup lasts me forever.The only time I will eat a dill (sour) pickle is on a cheeseburger.And my cheeseburgers have to have mayo, lettuce and pickle ONLY. Otherwise, it is sweet baby gherkins. Which I LOVE.
The perfect hot dog for me has mustard, a little bit of raw onion, diced sweet gherkins or sweet pickle relish, and COLE SLAW. Gotta have that cole slaw on my hot dogs! Nothing else.
I only eat plain chips. No BBQ flavor, no nacho flavored corn chips, etc. P-L-A-I-N.
I like my doughnuts plain as well. No glaze, no sprinkles, no icing. P-L-A-I-N. Unless they are jelly filled. Then they can have a little confectioners sugar on them.
Picky eater much?

2) I don't watch much t.v. and what I do watch is not "the norm".
I like 3 "network" shows, but I usually catch them in reruns on basic cable or on my computer. House, Bones and, now, Grimm.
I have never watched Glee, Community, 30 Rock, or any of the other popular shows....I don't even know what they are about, except Glee is about a high school chorus (I think).
I do love Project Runway. And Doomsday Preppers. I watch a lot of shows on History Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery, Discovery Science, stuff like that. I watch Deadliest Catch. I do like watching some of the shows on the SYFY channel. And a couple on BBC America.
Same goes for movies. I love historical dramas and documentaries. My all time favorite movies are The Lion in Winter and Lady Jane. I also like really cheesy horror movies.

3) I am not afraid of snakes, spiders, etc. I used to be afraid of heights, needles and the dark....well into my 20s for height, into my 30s for my fear of the dark and I was 50 when I got over my fear of needles.
How did I get rid of my fears?
I met them face on ! I went sky-diving and bungee jumping to get over my fear of heights. I threw away my night light and forced my self to sleep in a totally dark room to get over my fear of the dark and I started donating blood to the Red Cross to get over my fear of needles. Sounds weird, but it worked for me.

There's some of my weirdness.....and if I see any weird stuff to post later today, I will!

Odds and Ends and Pieces

Lily still hasn't kidded. She seems to be in some sort of  "holding pattern" waiting for the most perfect moment to kid.
No doubt it will be at THE most inconvenient moment possible. Driving rain storm or a sandstorm most likely.
Still, she is enjoying the extra attention. I check on her several times a day and make sure to scratch her right behind the ears. I go out at night and make sure all is well. I have even sat in her pen at night and given her ear scratching and tummy rubs until she falls asleep...with her head in my lap.
Not spoiled much, is she?
So, still waiting on her.

The Boy and the Girl have each had horrendous colds in the past couple of weeks.
I finally got it and it blossomed into a Class 4 sinus infection.
I have been combating it with lots of hot tea with lemon and honey, hot, HOT baths with lavender soap and bath oil and Halls Menthol-Lyptus cough drops.
The first hour I am up I am miserable...after that I am more or less okay.
Just takes two of three cups of tea.
The kids recovered nicely, the Darlin' Man hasn't caught it and my son hasn't caught it.
I should be okay by the end of the week, I hope!
**************************
Today I go to the dentist to get a recheck on the extraction that was done.
While I am out, I plan to stop by the feed store as we need some sweet feed.
I think I will stay glued to the Darlin' Mans side the whole time we are there!

 Weirdness abounds in recent news stories..
The Russians grew an extinct plant from a 30,000 year old seed.
Good thing or bad thing?
I dunno, but I have seen Jurassic Park enough times to be nervous about any extinct species being resurrected. They say the Japanese are hoping to resurrect the Mammoth from frozen specimens found in the tundra in Siberia.
Is that really wise? I mean...what bacteria did those animals carry in their digestive tracts?
That's just one thing that worries me.
Also, meat grown from stem cells?
I see all kinds of problems cropping up from that!

Well, time to hang up the laundry and then I think a shower for me. Lots and lots of lavender scented bubbles!
