Okay . . .

1. I am grossed out by certain things that most people eat. Onions, sour cream, mayonaise are beyond gross to me. Other foods gross me out just because they are so artificial and wrong it is a "sin"-- margarine, artificial sugar, high fructose corn syrup, msg, hydrogenated fats, hormones, and genetically modified foods. This stuff is freaky.

2. I am afraid to use bath and body works body spray or perfume on my skin so if I do use it, which is rarely, I will spray it on my clothes instead of my skin and hold my breath until it dissapates.

3. I have a hard time bringing in all the stuff that winds up inside my car. So I look like a homeless woman driving around with a million jackets and toys on the floor of the backseat.

4. I like to walk long distances, but I am afraid to go by myself.

5. I hate antibacterial soaps and lotions. They scare me. I will only use Dr. Bronner's soaps on my skin and to wash my hands. I almost pulled Emma out of preschool when I saw another teacher using purell on the kids hands before snack. It it terrible for her intestinal flora. Don't use any antibacterial stuff with triclosan!!!

6. If could do anything that I wanted to do. And if I had the talent for it, I would love to write novels. I would want them to be so beautiful and descriptive, perfectly written, succinct, a bit ambiguous and mysterious, addictive, and life changing. I love to read books like this and I wish I could do it. I would prefer to write like Hemingway rather than Faulkner, more like Charlotte Bronte than Jane Austin. That is what I would like to do.

7. If Miley was a boy I would have thumb wrestled Dustin to death in order to name her Owen. I love that name.

I am not going to tag anyone because I can't think of who to tag.

Pumpkins

Last week we went to the Cal Poly Pumpkin patch.

It was the most beautiful pumpkin patch I have ever seen.
The girls got to wander around and taste rocks.
