It’s time for September’s Perfect Posts. Several weeks ago I read something Jail Diet wrote and bookmarked it thinking it was indeed a perfect reflection of feelings I had thought for a long time, but didn’t know how to express.

It is in regards to September 11th and worth your time. Go over and check it out.

Last week (or maybe two weeks ago now) Jail Diet tagged me on a “meme.” The challenge was to list 5 things that certain people (who may not think I’m the sharpest crayon in the box) would consider to be “totally lame,” but I am totally proud of.

1) I still have and proudly sleep with a green blanket. It is not my original baby blanket, because I cut mine up to make Barbie clothes then stole my brothers. When I say I sleep with it, I mean it travels everywhere I go. Detroit? Oh hell yes! It wasn’t even embarrassing when the security agent opened my suitcase looking for anthrax and lifted it up for the airport to see. I’m also proud to say my husband has known about this since we um…first got together…so he is very accepting of my unhealthy attachment.

2) I was so excited to see that Jail Diet did this. I always thought I should have been a dermatologist. If it weren’t for all those years of medical school I would have done it! I love picking at my own face. Pimples and zits all intrigue me.

3) I have serious OCD issues with cleanliness. I clean things obsessively. I’ve been known to get out the Dirt Devil Kone and clean the dining room floor before my dinner guests have finished!

4) I’m a hypochondriac to the tenth degree. The internet was probably the worst invention for people like me. A sniffle turns into the bird flu and a headache turns into a brain tumor…all with a few clicks of Google.

5) Long ago in a far off land when flexibility was not an issue I would bite off my toenails. There I said it. Judge me if you wish. I’m not necessarily proud of this, but I’m do miss the flexibility.
