Stuff about me for ANDREA! LOVE YOU GIRL!

I was tagged by my friend Andrea (Luke's Mommy) to do this...here are the rules!

The Rules:1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.


My eight random facts and/or habits:

1. I am a terrible driver. I drive over curbs a lot to the point that Allen used to called me "curby". I have ran into my own vehicle...in my own driveway....more than once. Then yelled at Allen for it. He shouldn't have parked behind me! LOLOL I recently hit a bucket in Orlando on I-4. In my defense though it was either the bucket or another car...I chose the bucket. It tore the mirror off the passenger side of the truck (scared said passenger to death too). This was easily repaired!

2. I am not the best housekeeper. Okay, let me rephrase that. I suck at housekeeping. I am getting better in my old age (30). Once I have thoroughly cleaned something though, if you come behind me and mess it up, expect the "wrath of Trish". (at least if you live in my house...that means you Allen!)

3. I know I have mentioned this before in an older blog but I will expand on it more here. I enjoy watching TV on mute. I am not sure why, usually I like it better with the closed captioning on. It drives Allen insane. Sometimes I don't even realize I have done it until Allen says "OMG PLEASE TURN THE SOUND ON, I wanna watch TV, not read it!!"

4. My favorite time of day to go to Walmart is at midnight. There are less people there and the parking isnt so awful. It is annoying though that they are restocking and waxing the floors so you can't get to certain things. I remember in my single days going to Walmart in my pj's...(Kristy remember the phone cord computer line thingie......"i have to check your receipt ma'am!" LOL)

5. I do believe I have a flashing sign on my head that says "talk to me, tell me your life story". This happens to me a lot. A pure stranger will come up and start telling me all about their family, kids, husband, friends etc etc. Most of the time I stand there politely and listen because I have no idea what to do in that situation!

6. I leave the TV on all night. It became a habit long ago and I can't fall asleep without it most nights. I love Nick at Night and watch Roseanne, Fresh Prince and the Cosby's while I drift off to sleep. I used to watch Golden Girls EVERY NIGHT but they don't come on anymore! I love all those 80's and 90's shows.

7. I don't answer my front door for anyone unless I know them or it's the UPS or mail lady. Many reasons for this. One of which is because Makily and I are here alone at times and you never know what psycho is running around ringing door bells.

Another is I can't STAND door to door sales people. Drives me CRAZY. It irritates me that they come to my home where I am usually busy doing something, then to top that off they take up my time and force me to listen to some sales pitch for something that is overpriced and that I can't afford. I don't have the heart to slam the door in their face so I stand there and listen which aggravates me.

At one time I also had a terrible problem with a lady that was a certain religion that would NOT leave me alone. I had advised her that we were Christians and had our own home church but she would not listen. This was around the time when Makily was very little and I was VERY crazy. She always rang the bell RIGHT as I had gotten Makily to sleep and woke her up...or she came when I was in the middle of a tube feed that I had been working on for an hour. Even after explaining our circumstances she still kept coming.

8. When Allen is out of town for work, I have a hard time sleeping by myself (although when he is home he snores like a frieght train). It's gotten harder since we moved Makily into her own room. I find myself sleeping on the floor in her room more often then I sleep in my bed.
