Fun facts, kids

We were supposed to close on our house today. Bummer. Nine days to go, though! I pulled an "Old School" on Tim this weekend and we shopped for bedding, lamps, and paint supplies. There was NOT time for Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Life is still craaazay and I can't believe it's November already.

To stop thinking about the house, and for the people who are maybe reading this and who AREN'T my family, here is my weirdness, enumerated.

1. I'm weirdly sensitive to loneliness: I hate seeing people eating alone, walking by themselves where there isn't sidewalk, and movies about people who are lonely or don't have their basic needs met. Pulls my heart.
2. Extra sound drives me crazy -- don't sit next to me with your iPad playing YouTube while the TV is on. Or have the TV up so loud that I can hear it in the next room. Or have an obnoxious laugh. A person can only listen to so many things at the same time.
3. I think my cat has a human soul. No joke.... he likes to make eye contact with me/others and I think it's really sweet. And creepy.
4. My favorite style right now is equestrian -- if it wasn't weird-looking, I'd probably wear the whole get up to work, including skinny pants, a turtleneck, blazer with elbow patches, knee-high boots, a helmet and riding crop. But I won't. Came close last week.....
5. I feel more beautiful in my own clothes than I did on my wedding day.
6. I rarely like watching new movies.
7. I never keep receipts.
8. I sing to myself to keep myself company.
9. If you sit me down and try to give me instructions, A-Z, I'll stop listening when you get to B and start thinking about how I'll do it instead. No disrepect, just make all instructions have one step. Then, I'll listen.
10. I wish we could take passive aggressiveness out of the feelings repertoire.
11. I think I hibernate when I sleep.... I get space heater hot.
12. I LOVE Antiques Roadshow. Last night, a woman found out her arts-and-crafts style chair was worth almost $100,000 (one of only 4 in the country) and I wanted to cry. Total bucket list aspiration to become an appraiser for Christie's.
13. My house has to SMELL comforting to me, so I apologize in advance if all the Glade/Yankee Candle/bleach smells knock you sideways when you come in the door.
14. I hum after I laugh.
15. I really AM a shy person.... just, instead of being quiet when I'm nervous, I talk even more.
