Duck, Duck, Goose!

While on vacation I got tagged by Maternal Mirth for a meme: Six UN-Spectacular Things About Me.

All I can think about is, "I can only list SIX?!?" There are quite a number of un-spectacular things about me, but I'll try to be stick to the rules.

Speaking of rules...

1. Link the person who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

This has to be one of the simpler memes that I've seen. Works for me, because I'm still ridiculously braindead from vacation. At least as far as blogging, housework, childrearing, and conversation are concerned.

Here I go, 6 out of 24902 un-spectacular things about yours truly:

1. In order to get the opportunity to be a SAHM, I had to quit work (duh). In order to quit work, I had to break my contract at work. Due to said breakage I was not allowed to teach in my state for a year because my teaching license was suspended. Boo freaking hoo, I don't like high school kids anyway.
2. I am a recycling maniac, much to the chagrin of my husband. The place where we vacationed did not do recycling, so everything was thrown away. It caused me great mental anguish to throw things away that I knew could easily be recycled.
3. Every time I hear the k.d. lang song "Constant Craving" I am immediately reminded of fall (October specifically) and get really happy. I hate the summer.
4. During my first trimester while pregnant with Livers I had major smell aversions. It started by reheating broccoli. I got to where I couldn't stand the smell of my dogs' breath or even my husband (poor understanding man). Also, for weeks at a time there was something in the kitchen that made me really nauseous whenever I'd walk in, and I never figured out what it was. No rotting meat, no piles of trash, nothing spoiled in the fridge. I probably spent at least $50 on air fresheners to get rid of the phantom smell but never did.
5. When the time comes to get back into the paid workforce, I would like to be a professional organizer. Anyone know how I would go about doing that?
6. Though capable of being an outgoing person, especially once I get to know you and am comfortable letting it all hang out around you, I am an introvert at heart. After social interactions I will often replay what happened in my head to determine just how much of an idiot or a douchebag I came off to be. My husband knows this about me and still will point out situations that probably came off badly to the other person once we've left.

I hope you've enjoyed a glimpse of my unspectacularness. In the spirit of the meme, I tag the following:

1. John Deere Mom
2. Tiaras and Tantrums
3. And Baby Will Make 4
4. Hippie Family Hanging Around...
5. Apple Joos
6. Ravings of a Mad Housewife

I'm surprised I got around to this (no offense, M&M), so I'll understand if you don't, either.

Regular blogging will recommence soon. I have approximately 900 pictures that chronicled the vay-cay, so those are forthcoming (not all, I promise). I haven't forgotten my award, either. I will be on it like white on rice in the coming days, I swear!

Peas.
