I was tagged by Ordinary Girl. I'm fending off work anyhow, so I thought I'd take a moment to do it.
a) Post the rules, then list eight things about yourself.
b) At the end of the post, tag and link to eight other people.
c) Leave a comment at those sites, letting them know they've been tagged, and asking them to come read the post so they know what to do.
1. I adore cooking for other people but I hate cooking for myself. It never tastes as good. I like making complicated foods -- the more steps the better, but I stick to homemade mac & cheese and pb&j sandwiches for myself.
2. I have terrible eczema that manifests itself on my hands when I'm stressed. I've had it under two fingernails on my right hand ever since I got in that fight with my former best friend 2 months ago.
3. I get absolutely freezing during the day if the a/c is under around 76-79 degrees, but I always get hot at night and have to have the fan blowing on me in order to sleep (this also makes Christen sick).
4. I absolutely can't eat sweets in the morning, but I can drink soda. Not that I'm allowed the caffeine anymore, but still ....
5. I'm a closet slob. I make huge messes, but I never want anyone to see that I'm a slob so I'm always cleaning. I also spread out when I'm doing a project to take up all available desk space, no matter what size the project.
6. People think I'm quiet but really I have a slight speech impediment that causes me to repeat words sometimes. I notice it more than my companions.
7. I edit absolutely everything I read, sometimes with a red pen. Whenever I complain about a typo in a newspaper or a book or magazine, Christen asks me if I want a red pen. Even more secret is that sometimes I have to resist the urge to send the edited copy back to the publisher.
8. My favorite board game is Trivial Pursuit, and I have a copy of every trivial pursuit ever made. I'm no good at it, and I lose consistently (when I can get others to play) but I still adore it. I'm secretly petrified of having to get rid of my games to make room for baby, as they're all stored in the spare room right now.
So I'll tag ... anyone on my blogroll -- go!

Hi, stopping by the new site. I'll have to backtrack a bit but some interesting tidbits from you in this post; I love these kinds of insight memes. Not sure if I wanna list my own though, maybe if there's a real slow day at work...
It drives me crazy to find a spelling or grammar mistake in anything I write. It's usually from editing and being in too much of a rush to notice the sentence is a hybrid of what I wrote and what I edited and it's not readable. (And my spelling for the most part sucks. I blame spell check for making me lazy.)
I'm also really anal in the same way about stuff I read. It's not so much grammar or spelling, but inconsistencies in formatting that drives me bonkers.
