I've been tagged

I guess now I am officially a blogger. So, I am suppose to name 7 strange or weird things about me. Where to start? This is really hard for me. I know my husband would think it quite easy, but I have a rational explanation for everything I do. Just not rational to anyone else. I will have to look at myself from someone else's perspective.

1. I love to read and learn. This is not strange or weird per say, unless you knew me in Junior High and High School. I probably could have been voted least likely to make it to class, or school for that matter.

2. I home school my children. Again, see #1.

3. I absolutely detest shopping of any kind. I would rather do anything than go shopping. That is strange considering most women love to shop. In one area I used to live, there was a group of women who would go shopping together on a regular basis. I think I would pull my hair out. I think this relates to my being a tight wad. I hate to spend money. Every purchase I make terrifies me.

4. I dislike housework and cooking and I am not very organized. See #2.

5. I do not enjoy watching television or movies. There are too many other things I would rather do.

6. I am married to a man who loves television, movies, and shopping, and hates books. I guess opposites really do attract.

7. I do have my extravagances. I have to have my raw, grass-fed cows milk every week which sells for $3.50 per half-gallon, my REAL maple syrup and other great foods that I love that are worth the high price tag. I also am willing to spend money on books that I love, although I try to get them as cheap as I possibly can, and I have to really love them to pay full price.

There you have it. That was actually kind of fun. I tag anyone else that reads my blog, who hasn't been tagged yet and wants to do it.

I have a comment about #6
I being her husband you all know who i am.
i do NOT love shopping, unless shopping means stopping at every sports, rifle, shotgun, ammunition store and looking for hours and not buying anything due to being married to a tight wad, she called herself that in the blog so i am ok to repeat...so i do like shopping for guns and anything manly. also for me i do not mind spending money, the latest rifle i just bought, i paid more for it than i paid for her sewing machine, bread maker, juicer, and several other appliances that are in the cabinets collecting dust. so in all do respect i am man. i still love my opposite of me, wife

Ha ha, I did a post like this and we both hate to shop and both hate TV. I knew we were kindred spirits.
