Tag! I'm it!

I was tagged by Colleen at My Blooming Rose to list ten things that make me odd. It was tough, but will be at the conclusion of the post. Until then, an update. I spent the weekend babysitting my nieces. We had a great time with soccer games, shopping, and tickle fights (They actually beat me!!!) C. continues to be excited about the baby. I purchased the Families of Vietnam DVD and loaned it to C. and J. C loved it and continues to point out things about Vietnam. This week I brought another Vietnam travelogue from Globetrekker and we watched it and she just takes it in. C. also told me this weekend that she will be so lucky to be the baby's cousin and that the baby is so lucky because she is being created by God. Who knew a six-year-old could say something so special to me!

As for the adoption, I'm still waiting. It will be nice to move up a spot one day. The referral dry spells are tough. Hopefully things will pick up soon!

Now, what you have been waiting for...drumroll please...Ten things that are odd about Cara!

1. I have to order college transcripts from seven schhols: one pre-high school graduation, three undergrad full-time, two undergrad part-time, one graduate school.
2. I prefer square-end/flat end french fries and rarely eat those that end in a point.
3. I have big hands. Not freakishly big, and they aren't "man hands". My grandmother used to say I had "piano hands". Too bad God didn't give me any sense of rhythm or musicality!
4. I get motion sickness. Really bad! I have trouble riding in the back seat and can start to feel bad within blocks. I've been sick in cars, planes, boats, trains, and even on a water bed!
5. I love to be barefoot! I know some people think it's gross to walk outside barefoot, but I love it! I love to feel the texture of what I'm walking on whether it be grass, sand, or sidewalk. Now keep in mind that I wouldn't walk barefoot anywhere gross (public restroom, for example).
6. If I'm having a sandwich I have to insist the mayo and cheese don't touch each other. So they get mixed up in my mouth, but I don't like them layered together. I think this goes back to childhood when I made a cheese sandewich like I would make a ham & cheese sandwich. It was gross!
7. I am a very routine oriented person in the morning. I get out of sorts if my morning routine is out of order. It can be interrupted at any point and I can skip a step, but the parts have to go in order. For example, my contacts have to go in before I put on moisurizer. I think a lot of this has to do with clean hands and when I wash my hands.
8. I love rain and storms anywhere except Texas. They seem to be so loud here!
9. Leftovers bother me. I always question if something is "still good". I'll eat them, but there is always the thought in mind.
10. I haven't had Thanksgiving dinner in over five years. I don't like turkey, stuffing, corn bread. Thanksgiving for me is corn and pumpkin pie so I normally save the days off for Christmas and work.

Is it too late to tag on this? If not, I'll tag Jenn at the Long Adventures and Kevin at Trollspotting (Are you reading, Kev? Miss you much as always!)
