Hi everyone! Erik and I have been very busy with house stuff. We can’t really talk about it (we don’t want to jinx it) until late next week. Until then, I’m going to do something I haven’t done in almost two years – Embarrassing Admission Day!
Only instead of random embarrassing admissions, you have to comment with the random things they get freaked out by. This includes everything from the things that genuinely scare you to the ones that gross you out or give you the heebie jeebies.
This is mandatory, people. If you read this blog, you must comment – it’s roll call time!
Here are mine, in no particular order:
- Heights, but only when I’m on a ladder or similar seemingly unstable structure.
- Pickles
- Dachshunds
- the basement of our current townhome (when it’s dark)
- Long fingernails on men
- Loud noises
- Cockroaches
I know there’s got to be more, but I can’t think of any at this time. So everyone else – comment away!
Mine are snakes and spiders (the general rule is if something land moving was intended to have more than four legs or less than two that things is not my friend).
Umm.
OK. When I’m sitting down and my legs are stretched out in front of me (like on a table), I’m always afraid someone is going to trip and fall and make my knees bend backwards. Ouch.
That’s all I got.
Oooh–I have to think.
Mullets.
Riding on the back of a motorcycle.
Let me ponder a bit more…
pickles touching me
olives touching me
a toenail snagging on the sheets
loud bass (makes me queasy)
oily skin
birds
overly dry hands
micro fiber towels
Cicada Killer Wasps
real blood and surgery images/video
Medical needles and Shots too.
shadow people ghosts
hairy/stubbly legs
Weighing myself on a scale. I prefer to go by how clothes fit…
snakes. I hate snakes.
OK, I officially read that the jinx-able timeframe is up, so TELL US ABOUT THE HOUSE ALREADY!
You officially read that where, Fitz? Because we’re not announcing anything until Wednesday, at the earliest.
Becky – micro fiber towels?
I read it online somewhere. It was on wikipedia. It said right there that any jinx is officially off the books as many as four days before a closing. It’s true! Really! I swear!
I think it’s in the Bible too.
the feeling on my skin. it is as if they are cutting me. totally freaks me out.
I concurr.. Micro-Shocking Towels are like rough fiberglass insulation against dry cracked skin. *However* They sure can buff out a coat of wax on the old CRV and leave it nice and shiny! I\’m just saying…
Fitz – you’re full of it. You’re going to have to wait another day.
Hoechs – I never thought of it that way. Now I must seek some out and rub them against my arms to see what it feels like.
I remembered another thing that freaks me out – refried beans.
obviously penguins.
also nicholas cage. although, that’s more hate, but he does freak me out.
bugs, especially roaches.
popping champagne corks (there’s a fear of eye loss there).
becky – i think “fellowship” should count on yours.
dang Pizza. you are GOOD! i guess since i have banned the F-bomb from my life, I didnt think about it.
