Night in "the City"...I made it!

Last night my sister conned me into go'n shopp'n with her into "the City" for the last of her Christmas gifts.

Anybody who really knows me knows that I have a severe hatred for go'n to "the City" any time between Thanksgiving and January 1st due to the INSANE shoppers!
City people + Christmas shoppers + Bad attitude(me) = Don't do it, OR, take lots of meds....I took the meds...it wasn't enough :(

Yes, there was people getting in our way, following us like "why are YOU in MY way" and just all around aggravation- mainly on my part.  But, I survived...and...more importantly...so did THEY!!!

On our way out of town we spotted a light display and went to check it out. It was really cool! They had a sign that told us to tune into a certain radio station to watch their lights dance to the music...and they did!!  That's a lot of smarts up top if ya know what I mean!

The real highlight of the night was this conversation with my sister:

(Turning onto the off-ramp)
Me:  Watch out that looks like a government car, you should slow down.
(Passes the car)
Sis:  No, they had Oklahoma plates.
Me:  How do you know that? (it was dark...and she was flying)
Sis:  Because I seen that lady on the plate...the Statue of Liberty.....
Me: (immediate reaction and hillarious laughter) The Statue of Liberty???? It's not the Statue of Liberty!!!...in Oklahoma???........(Side Note: my sister LIVED in Oklahoma for a YEAR!)
Sis:  Well, Ok, not her, but it's some lady on the plate...I've never seen it up close!
Me: You used to LIVE THERE!
Sis:  They changed the plates right after we moved back....( ummm...yeah....)
Me:  Well, lets just Google it and see what it is :)
Sis:  You do that....
Google SAYS:

Me: LOL...you idiot...it's an Indian with a bow and arrow!!!! hahahahahahaha
Sis: From a distance it looks like a lady....SHUT IT!!!

My Quirky Quirks

I was just thinking about the strange things other people do- ya know...those times when you see something someone does or says and you think...what a nut-job, right? But, that got me thinkn bout all the weird things I do and how- if I told you bout 'em- you'd think...Wow! What a nut-job, and then feel better about yourself! So here's a few of my quirks to help you make it through the weekend....

I have to fill the cup completely full of ice before I put my Dew in....a few cubes does not cut it!

I can only drink light colored pop without ice, and only if it's cold...

I won't drink dark colored pop without ice, and refuse to drink it room temperature...PERIOD! My husband drinks his Pepsi room temp and it DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! YUCK!

I will not drink milk unless it has cocoa in it....totally serious...I can have it in my cereal or any other form except plain...I WILL PUKE!

Speaking of puke...I will avoid puke'n at ALL COSTS and suffer in misery until I have forced it to take the next exit...ya, (things ya wish you didn't know, right?)

I crush potato chips with my finger and then eat the pieces....I don't like biting into a chip and half of it falls down your shirt!

I know I'm a hillbilly but I HATE when people use the word "Pacific", instead of Specific!!! HOLY COW...I've seen NEWS ANCHORS say it!!!

I eat green beans with my fingers...

I cannot talk to you when I am putting my hair in a ponytail- and you shouldn't try talkn to me either!!!....DANGER!!!

I cannot stand for my husbands toe nails to touch me! I WILL BREAK YOUR LEG- seriously...get them OFF!!!

I hate that I go through ALL my boys names before getting to the one I'm actually yelln at...I've turned into my Great Grandmother...

I love the smell of coffee but HATE the taste of it!

I have "Shopping Cart Rage!"....there are OTHER people in the store...stop jack-knife'n your cart in the aisle!
I have a fear of geese...not the ones in air...the GIANT ones that CHASE YOU!!! I am actually afraid of birds flying in close proximity, and I have good story on that, but later :)

I also have a paralyzing fear of SPIDERS, but who doesn't right??

I have a very strong blink reflex...I can barely get eye drops in and the eye dr. HATES me! Ok, maybe hate is too strong but I know they roll their eyes and go "Oh great, here comes the big baby!"

I don't care how clean your dog is...I don't want his wet nose to touch me..and if it does I will be polite and wait the appropriate amount of time before dashing off to the bathroom to scrub the disease off!

I detest voice mail!...of course unless it is really important then by all means...just don't leave the message "it's just me- call me back"...That is why I have CALLER ID!!!

Okay, I'll stop now. Don't want to scare anyone off...:)
Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
