Suzy tagged me to list seven weird things about myself. The mind boggles. Me? Weird? If you only knew. I will try to come up with seven odd things that won’t be TMI. OK, here goes.
1) My husband and I eloped. We ran off to Reno and got married in one of those drop-in wedding chapels. In retrospect, this wasn’t such a great idea. Not that he hasn’t worked out, but it was very upsetting to my parents and siblings. As well as being completely out of character for me. Tacky tacky. I was meant to be a Princess Bride, and never got the chance.
2) I sucked my thumb until I was a teenager. Having sleep overs with my girlfriends shamed me out of it.
3) My first job was working at the candy counter at JCPenny’s. As a result, I can take or leave candy and do not particularly care for chocolate. When I got home from work, I used to eat fresh oranges to get the taste of candy out of my mouth.
4) I love shoes. I even give names to some of them.
6) My fabric stash is larger than necessary.
7) I spoil my dog Ozzie dreadfully. He is very very naughty, but I can’t resist his charms. Here he is sitting in my husband’s favorite chair like he owns it.
OK, so now I feel a little too exposed. I am very odd indeed. Without a doubt. Do you still like me?
Don’t think I will tag anyone. Maybe this was all a bit TMI after all.

No wonder Ozzie likes shoes so much…he has lots to pick from…LOL! He is just so darn cute…he couldn’t look any more innocent if he tried.

If for no other reason, I’d still like you because you spoil your doggy just like I do. I think we should spoil our dogs to make up for all the poor ones who have to make their livings on the street. I wish I could spoil them all.

Wow, is your fabric in your garage? Look how tidy that is.
And #7.. nothing odd about that at all.

I used to work in a candy store when I was a teen too. It was a little store owned by a mean Greek man but he sure made good chocolates. I drove my parents crazy when I would come home smelling like chocolate. And if you’d like me to help you with your fabric habit I am willing to fly to California with an empty suitcase and help out.

Just wondering what TMI is? Too much information?
That fabric stash looks like maybe it is more than just what is in your sewing room?

Definitely not TMI Nicole! Fun stuff. My mom eloped to Reno too — she loves to tell everyone how she got married in her bare feet. Unlike you though, that’s just something my mom would do. Although she’s the queen, I can’t quite see her as a princess bride LOL!

I am so glad that you said that you were not that keen on chocolate, as neither am I. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one. Who can resist any chocolate dessert – I can.

Nicole, this is one of the cutest posts ever! I love knowing the little fun things that give us all character. I have no toenail on my big right toe, so I couldn’t wear any of those shoes lol. There, that was a little TMI too. And no one can have enough cookbooks right? I just recently started reading you but have enjoyed every second. Thanks for sharing those little tidbits. Love Stacy

Great post, Nicole. I think I like the one about you eloping the best. Maybe you should get married again to make up for running off the first time? lol…and Ozzie, I see he is back in your good graces again. He’s a pretty smart, cute as can be, dog!

How fun! More connecting.
I may miss shoes my friend but that DOES NOT mean I don’t love them so share pics when you get ’em!!! I still search out the cute ones – even in my state. I loooove shoes!
I collect a certain type of book as well, not cooking but collecting. We share loves.
My Bay Area parents also eloped to Reno!
…and hugest of all. The thumb.
I’ll just stop here. This is a lot of cosmic connections for so early in the morning. Even I’m trippin’ out.
