My sister tagged me with a “meme” a few weeks ago and I still haven’t done it. So rather than put it off any longer ~ I will enlighten you with 5 weird things about me.

1. When I read signs (billboards, store front signs) I move my index (pointer) finger and “trace” the words out. Like I’m writing it down – in the air – for no good reason – and I can’t stop myself…

2. I play word association games to remember words, names or places.

3. I, like my younger sister, eat one food item at a time around my plate. I start with my vegetables and finish with the meat. I only deviate when I notice that I’m doing it (in front of others/restaurants) and I try to change my behaviour so I don’t look weird.

4. I eat my corn-on-the-cob one row at a time. My hubby tells me I look like a typewriter when I do it and it takes me a while, he’ll have finished 2-3 cobs to my 1. When I’m done… it’s perfectly clean and there’s NOTHING in my teeth.

5. I talk to myself outloud. This is especially if I’ve made a bone-head move or a dumb mistake or if I want to get back in control of my body. Let me explain that one… when I was in labour with child #2 (my daughter) the Doc broke my water and my knees starting knocking together, they said I was going into shock. I yelled at myself, outloud, in front of every nurse and person in the room (my hubby, Mom and oldest sister), “Shannon! Stop it! Get a grip!” My knees stopped shaking and I was again in control of the situation. I tell myself off a lot…

There you go, a little more insight into the Shash. 🙂
