3 Strange Things I Do

-
I have about 50 pairs of underwear in my drawer but I only actually wear the same 15 pairs, wash them and go through the same 15 again.  I have no idea why I have these other 35 perfectly good underwear in my drawer that just sit there.  I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.


I read someone's facebook wall all the time that I am not a friend with, have no mutual friends with, have never met and more than likely never will.  I happened on their page one day and am kinda fascinated with watching their facebook life from afar.  If they change the privacy setting of their wall it's really gonna devastate me.  


The Fugitive is one of my favorite movies.  No matter how many times I watch it I get really nervous and pray to God that Richard escapes even though I already know he is going to escape.

What strange things do you do?   (Keep it clean, please!)

I annoy my husband by printing Scripture out in Greek, taping it to the bathroom mirror and not telling him what it says...

i've also been known to whip out my cell phone, mid conversation, and send a text message about another subject to the person I'm talking to...without missing a beat.

I occasionally paint the dog's toenails...

I have to sleep with socks on, no matter how hot it is. I can't stand to sleep in bare feet, and I have been this way ever since I was a child.

I used to work in the beauty industry so sometimes when I look at people I think in my mind what I would do to fix their haircolor or what I would do differently on their makeup. This is usually when I am in the mall people watching.

When eating hard candy and my children ask for some, I give them all of the "GREEN" ones, hate green candy even if they don't have a different flavor...

I sleep on the edge of the bed and then pray that I don't fall off once asleep...

I re-write a paper over and over until it's perfect with no scribbles, etc even though I'm going to type it soon after... the hubby HATES THIS WITH A PASSION, lol

Wow Erika, that is funny. I have to sleep with socks if it's the least bit cold. I can't sleep with cold feet. Then as soon as they warm up, I reach underneath, pull the off and throw them on the floor and pick them up in the morning when I get up. Habits!

Melissa,I realize in the middle of the night that I'm on the edge and scoot back over...I hate it that I always gravitate towards the edge. I guess that's just me..."edgy"...ha ha!

I can't stand for my feet to get dirty. I wash them especially during sandal weather many times throughout the day and apply lotion.

Candy, I rub my foot too,on the blanket. Wow, we are sistas from another motha! And I bathe morning and night too. Probably why my skin dries out at times but I can't help it, I can't go to bed dirty.

LaDonna, I should probably be applying lotion...

I thought and thought and couldn't come up with something odd that was also interesting. Then it hit me. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved to take chocolate frosting from the can, put it in a bowl and and mix it with peanut butter. Then I eat the entire thing. No one knows I do this. I usually feel sick to the stomach afterward because it is so rich and heavy, but I just can't help myself. It is sooooo good! I do it about once a year, and then vow never again....until I get the craving.

My product review of Zestra

I said I was going to do this.

I'm sure everyone but my loyal readers who know I have the courage or the lack of wisdom to do this thought I was joking.  )

Why has it been so long between my promise to do this review  and my actually doing it?  Well, not "it".  I mean, the review of course.  Silly people...I have slept with my husband since then.   It's just that I kept forgetting to order my free sample box of Zestra.  When I did remember, I didn't have my bank card handy.

Bank card?  Isn't this a free box?  Well, yes.  But you do have to pay the shipping.  I paid like $4 for it or something like that.  So I know, you're dying to know if it's worth it.  Others of you are clicking to remove your subscription from my blog right now.  Caio!

About a week ago I finally remembered to get out my bank card and fill out the order form to get my free samples.  I forgot all about it until I came home from church Wednesday night and found this plain brown packa…

Why You Should Never Hijack a Comment Thread
Social media etiquette 101

-

One surefire way to kill your influence in social media and wear out your welcome fast is to become involved in derailing somebody’s comment thread with your own agenda. Networking and hijacking aren’t the same thing. It’s surprising how many people don’t understand that this is a guarantee for tearing down a platform as quickly as you build it.


Passion is good, even necessary. I appreciate people's zeal for their personal core values. What is not appreciated is the attempt at a redirection of a comment thread when the comment has little or nothing to do with an original post or is twisted at best.

Social media provides ample opportunity for all of us to share what’s important to us on our own platform. Eliciting others’ responses and developing connections largely depends on our ability to communicate and compel. Some people are open to receiving private communication from others although they aren’t always able to answer personally or at length. But hijacking a comment thread no…

The real story behind the song, "Christmas Shoes"...

The other day my friend, Pastor Leanne Weber, blogged here about the song, "Christmas Shoes" with a funny quote she read on the blog, "Stuff Christians Like", which is a great site I like reading myself...
I have some thoughts on sad Christmas songs, and in particular the "Christmas Shoes" song...
One thing I really don’t understand are morbid Christmas songs. Christmas is such a beautiful, happy occasion. I think it a big strange that some people write sad songs about it. What would you say if you walked into my office and I was sitting at my keyboard and you said, “Pastor Deanna, what’s up? and I said, “Oh, just sitting here writing a song about my Grandmother getting run over…” You’d probably think, ‘how sadistic!” or “wow, she really does need a vacation.” Can’t imagine anything funny about my grandmother dying as she was/is my hero, but apparently some people find a Christmas song about Grandma getting run over by a reindeer to be funny…I never quite g…
