Yesterday I went to RA doc and he ended up giving me a cortisone shot in my left knee and I got all my refills on my meds I take for RA . Today is a shopping day run since we will be getting dumped on with 6-9 " of snow between today and early tomorrow so I think a no school day will be coming tomorrow for daughter and I hate going out in that mess so I will go and get a few things today . and I must start making those 100 invites for my friend Linda’s Daughter Whitney she needs them in June and the cards I am making her take alot of time just to make 1 let alone 100 so I figure If I starts now and make at least 20 a month I may just get them all done for her.. so between today and tomorrow I am wanting to get those done or at least start working on them. Have a Fabulous day and looking forward to hearing all the weird thing you all do .. you may also leave a comment "why you like to visit my blog" BUT this is not a must and remember there are no bribes allowed Hee! Hee! I will see you tomorrow until then make someone smile with your Beautiful hand stamped project today .
Until later .. Happy Stampin!
I had my nose pierced when I was a teenager. That was really unusual when I was a teenager 20+ years ago. I did it to shock my parents, but my dad just laughed and my mom went out and bought me loads of different colored studs for my nose! 🙂
I don’t think I do anything weird! BUT I always were red on Valentines day and a heart pin.
Cindy
Not sure I do anything unusual now, but I did go through a phase of eating scrambled eggs with ham and pickled onions, don’t ask me why, I thought they were great (and no I was not pregnant at the time!!!!)
What a great idea, he he
I KEEP WARM WITH A HAIR DRYER.
PAM
Darn, I am not first today!!! The weird thing that I do is shave my legs every night. If I don’t take a shower and shave my legs, the stubble running on the sheets keeps me awake and I don’t sleep. Now this is really weird I know and I hated to admit it to ya’ll, but that is what I do!!! Drinking pickle juice is not that strange, Dawn. It is good!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful and creative work with us. I would love one of these cards.
Love,Cheryl
Hmm…I love to eat sushi it might be strange for some but I love it.
My daughter makes these wonderful cabbage rolls filled with hamburger, sausage, rice, garlic, onion and spices. They are cooked with sauerkraut and hot red peppers – I love to eat them cold for breakfast. Dawn – thanks for sharing so much – I learn lots from you.
Olive juice is really good also…but my daughter and I both have to cut off the ends of sausage and pepperoinis (sp)….just can not eat the ends…YUCK….LOL
Dawn,
We are shoveling here in Illinois too. 9 inches. Yuck. The weirdest think I do is put sugar on liver when I eat. Hated it as a child so I put sugar on it to tolerate it. Became a habit. Gotta have something to cover up the taste. Thanks for sharing your creations.
Dawn (also)
I don’t eat breakfast ever but I must eat a turkey sandwich everyday at 11:30 for lunch.
Very cute valentines and I like hot peppers on my tuna which is pretty much to me the same as pickles so I don’t find that too weird. I like to eat the inside of the raviloi’s first and then the outside. I have been doing this since I was a little kid. Not sure how weird it is but some think it is.
Ps Love reading your blog. You share so many great ides. Susan
You are not t he only one to love pickle juice, we fight over it here at our house to:) Another thing others might consider weird is we ike cold pancakes for lunch with a little bit of margarine and a sprinkle of sugar… yyuuummmmyyyy
I have to say the weird thing I do is eat one thing at a time, I can’t take a bit of meat and then a bite of vegetable or potatoe, I have to eat all of one thing first before I eat anything else, weird I know.
Pickle juice in tuna rocks! I don’t drink it .. but do love it in tuna salad! Ok, my wierd thing is raw hamburg .. little salt, little pepper, little nibble or two while I’m cooking something. It’s a guaranteed thing to make someone else go ‘ewwww’!! LOL!!
well i’m tried of ink getting on my clothes when i stamp.so i stamp in the nude……ha ha ha could not come up with any thing wierd…….
Mine is not food related. I have a thing for silky materials. I rub the material in between my fingers whenever I get a chance! Everyone calls it “silkies” & I have a silky in almost every area in my house I spend time (oh except for my stampin’ room-I need my hands too much!)Sometimes I get so caught up in it my tongue will start to come out. LOL I can’t believe I am posting this on the internet!! Anyways I have been doing it since I was a little kid & I doubt I will ever stop. My mom said I would walk down the aisle carrying a silky, but I didn’t. 🙂 It helps to relax me especially if I have had a stressful day. Happy Stampin’
I can not stand to go barefooted!!!
I absolutely love your blog and all your creativity! I would love to have something you have created!! I drink my milk loaded with ice! I like it ice cold and others think it’ weird to have ice in a milk glass! Happy VDay! Lisa
I guess you could say that is weird for me to believe that I will actually one day win the Publisher’s Clearing House (aka pch) so that is why I enter every chance I get. I also enter many other free contests in the weird hopes of winning the Big One!
I put mayonnaise in my pinto beans and I put sugar in canned tomatoes. Love it that way. Love your blog. I think it is the best. Mary
I don’t find what i do and love to do ODD but my children certain do. I took accordion lessons and have a lovely, amazing accordion..and have really enjoyed playing. My younger kids hated me doing it, practicing it, working on it WHEN their friends arrived. And NO ONE, no one wanted me to play it for their wedding receptions. Not fair.
okay..I am the queen of weird behavior…
I eat the frosting off of my tastycakes before I can eat them…
I can’t have the cabinets or drawers open in the kitchen (cabinet gnomes might escape you know)…
my food can’t touch on my plate…and I have to eat things one at a time…all my potatoes…then all my meat…you get catch the idea…
my husband tells me that I am a closet freak…cause no one knows about all my little idiosincrasies (sp?)
Hmmmm, this isn’t easy!
*I must have lights on in the house if I go out at night… hate coming home to a dark house
*I like eating mustard… just give me a spoonful
*I’ll also drink white vinegar
*I absolutely hate black pepper
I have so many unusual things about me that I just don’t know where to begin. Mind you, I don’t find them weird at all but my loved ones tell me otherwise. So, here are a few things they define as unusual…
1. I love to drink creamer straight from those little containers sitting on tables at restaurats.
2. Each night, I have a crack down, meaning…I crack every joint I can before crawling into bed starting with my neck, then upper back, then twisting side to side for my lower back, and, of course, the first and second joints of my fingers, and finally, my toes. Then…I’m ready for bed.
3. I hate to waste a yummy treat and have been known to lick my ice cream bowls clean.
Okay, maybe I am a bit weird?!?
I like to eat honey straight from the jar! Yum!
LOVe your blog – so glad I came across it!
Sandy Kay
I prefer my ice cream from our favorite place to be eated with a plastic spoon not a metal spoon. The metal changes the flavor! Weird, huh?
Cute cards, Dawn!
A quirk I inherited from my dad – I have to have my food all come out even at the end of the meal – meaning I eat a bite of each thing in turn, so when I finish I have one bite of each thing left on the plate. (my dad and his 11 sibs were punished if they didn’t eat like this) I hate my food to touch.
My husband also thinks it’s weird that I have to have my butt covered when I sleep, even if my legs are hanging out of the sheets. 🙂
When I was younger I used to eat pickle relish out of the little packets, and I love popcorn with French onion dip!
OH my….well my DH would say that a weird thing I do is to eat sugar on my cottage cheese! We’ve been married for more than 33 years, and he still shivers when he sees me do it! LOL!
I think the weirdest thing I do is a thing we always ate when we were kids. We would have toast with liver paste on it, and then on the top we would put corn flakes. All that crunch, and the liver paste was sticky enough to keep the corn flakes from falling off. Mmm, now I need to add that to my grocery list!
Weird……lots of things I’m told.
But, I LOVE saving things like the colourful kleenex boxes for the background of an ATC card or an embellishment on a scrapping page or a card!
I don’t think this is weird, but my family does. Ok, maybe a little OCD, but here it goes…
I am always checking esp. when I go away from home, to check if the lights are off and maybe sometimes I unplug things. And to check and double check, triple check to see if I locked the doors. Not sure why, but I do and love the reassurance that these things are done. Weird I know.
Have a good V-day celebration.
OK my friends all think it is weird but I add tuna to my macaroni and cheese. It is soooo yummy…..
I do not know what my mom (Susan) is talking about…I loved listening to the accordian when she played. Even listened to it over the phone.
I really don’t know what I do weird b/c I think I”m normal! hehe. So if any of you know me and what is weird about me…let me know and I’ll post it here!

O.k. Well, I never thought this was weird but my hubby does…….I drink the milk from the cereal bowl after I eat all the cereal. Surely, I’m not the only one who does this but it grosses my hubby out…….
I have been known to eat my candy bars from the outside in. First the peanust then the nouget on a salted nut roll, all the chocolate off the Butterfinger bar before the crunchy center…you get the idea!
hmm something weird about me, there is so much to chose from….ROTFLMBO! Let’s see I choke on triscuit crackers every time I eat one, I know I just shouldn’t bother but they are so good.
I don’t think this is strange, but my husband and kids do. I drink milk with my pizza. That’s how we always had it when I was growing up. My husband insists pop only. Oh well. Go figure, he’s the dairy farmer! I love your blog.
Wow, this could be a long list.
1. Refuse to eat Mayo outside.
2. ALL new clothes must be washed before wearing them
3. Won’t eat any meat thats been in the fridge for more then 3 days.
4. Won’t eat dairy products that have been in the fridge more then 5 days.
5. All stamping paper, ink pads, and markers in alphabetical order.
6. Peanut Butter, Salami and cheese sandwiches.
Just to name a few. Kirk says I’m “Monk”. Ha ha
Ok, weird things I have done… HMMM..
* back in high school I used to eat the school pizza with a mix of ranch and ketchup.
* Another friend from high school turned me on to ketchup in mac n’ cheese. I still crave that from time to time.. LOL
* And yet another was inherited from my grandfather. Mix syrup and peanut butter together on a plate and sop it up with bread… yummmm!
I ENJOY ironing!! Hated it when I was first married, but then DH got a job that requires pressed clothes, so I pulled out the iron, and learned to love it! It’s relaxing for me. 🙂
Also, I forbid my DH from touching my neck! Just the thought of it makes my neck muscles tighten up! 🙂

WELL, I HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH “LINT-BALLS” IN MY SOCKS. SO WHAT I DO EVERY MORNING BEFORE I PUT MY SOCKS ON, I TURN THE SOCKS INSIDE OUT, AND PLUCK THOSE LITTLE LINT BALLS OUT(I MEAN EVERY PIECE OF LINT) OF MY SOCKS. I DON’T LIKE THE WAY IT FEELS AGAINST MY FEET.
I really don’t think this is so weird, but anyone who shops with me will tell you it is! When in a store, I HAVE GOT to touch (and feel) everthing I look at. If it gets my attention (even if I am not going to buy!), I have to feel it!!
Love your blog!
Cheryl
I was at a restaurent in Ottawa called the Works. I wish I could remember the name of the burger, they all have funky names.
But my hamburger had Nutella, banana, peanut butter and jalapenos then the burger on top. Ate it on a semi dare but it was really good! I’ve made it at home once or twice now!
YM
I can pick up money with my toes. Talented aren’t I?
What a fun giveaway! Love the boxes! I just have to say I’m pleading the 5th on all my weirdness….
I, like Kathy McD, love sugar, lots of it on my cottage cheese! I also love sugar & butter only on my french toast–no syrup for me! I love to eat my Reese’s peanut butter cups like eat all the chocolate around the outside then eat the inside. YUM!!! Same with swiss cake rolls!
My really weird thing I love to eat is Finely cut onions and ketcup. I give a good squirt of ketcup on a plate and mix in the onion. Or buttered bread squashed in popcorn,then folded over to make a sandwich….
I eat my scrambled eggs with mustard on them! Yum!
one of the weird things it’s that I was collecting my own fingernails in a small box, (I don’t do that anymore)

People think that I’m weird for have a pet bunny. I treat my girl like a dog. She lives in a room in our house not caged. I’ve potty trained her. I taught her how to sit up on command. When out side playing, I can call her in by calling her by name which is Baby Girl. Because of her hair loss, every day I have to put on my special clothes to play with her (toss the football, chew the paper roll, chase, and blanket burrito)and to give her lots of bunny hug and rubs. I vacuum her and bathed her. She also helps me in the garden by cutting the old flowers off of my plants when shown and asked. Weird or not, I’m crazy in love with my bunny!
I also have two water turtles named Ping and Pong who share space in Baby’s room in a 50 gal water tub. I thought that they were so much fun until I got my little fuzzy butt.
I eat ketchup on my steak, even when in a fancy restaurant! And I also HATE white socks. Thanks for this blog candy contest Dawn! It’s the perfect pick-me-up as I prepare to go shovel the driveway for the 3rd time today (gotta stay on top of it or it’ll get CRAZY!)
I am new to your blog and just love it. Great ideas. The only weird thing I can think of about me is I hate and I mean hate to have my feet touched by anyone. It drives me totally crazy.
There are a lot of food wierdness… I really don’t have one with food, but this might gross you and everyone else out. When I am in the shower (espically if I have a cold) and my nose is running, I will blow my nose with my hand in the shower, then wash off my hand…
My theory behind it is I don’t want wet tissue to blow my nose (I hate it sticking to my fingers) and the snot goes down the drain anyway with the water…
My husband is grossed out by it, but I still do it! =)
All the canned foods in my pantry have to be in alphebetical order. It drives my daughter crazy. When she comes to visit she jumbles everything up, just to tease me. She says I am “Too Anal”.
he he… this is fun! well I know for certain that I am odd, let’s see… I used to drink pepsi & milk mixed together (don’t know where it started but I just liked it), I can’t stand having my closet door open even a crack when I am sleeping, and I like cool water, but can’t stand to drink it with any ice 😉
I think one of the weirdest things I do is sort my M&M’s before eating them! First by color, then by how many of each color there are, if there are 2 red, 5 green and 6 yellow for example, I take the 2 red, 2 green and 2 yellow and move them aside. Then the remaining 3 green and 3 of the yellow and put those aside. Then the last yellow one gets eaten right away. Then the others based on th the smallest pile to the largest. I know – I know…LMAO!! Don’t laugh too hard!!
Weird…me??? Of course!! When I eat scrambled eggs I like to put ketchup on them. My Dad always did this and according to my Mom, it is a Canadian thing to do. Can’t wait to see how many people actually post on your blog today.
Not sure how *wierd” this is but people have told me that when i am the subject of a picture I tend to hum very softly under my breath while i am smiling and waiting for them to snap the pic. To be honest, I don’t even realize I am doing it. Would love to win that awesome diaroma. great job.
Oh my gosh I do sooo many of these things, I don’t feel as wierd anymore – thanks guys!!!
Hmm…I love to eat white cake mix straight out of the box with a spoon….not anything added, just dry. I think that’s the thing that wierds people out the most. That and I love eating Rolos with tortilla chips…I swear it’s good…even better for PMS!
I love salt on my grapefruit. My husband thinks I’m weird for doing that. I have never met anyone else who does this.
Proably pretty normal for some – but all I could think of. When it gets cold in my stamp room, I use my heat gun to warm my hands. Can’t stamp with cold hands now can you?
I have to smell all my food before I eat it. Even if I know what it tastes like. I only smell it once though – not with every bite (so that makes it ok, right?) 🙂 I don’t smell drinks though – except wine (and that’s socially acceptable). 🙂
triple love your blog – so creative and cheerful!
Karen (basketmom)
Dawn those cards are fabulous!! I’m loving all the comments posted — I fit right in with so many of y’all! And I NEVER make tuna salad without pickle juice — that’s the only way and it’s the best!
Now as for something weird for me . . . guess I’ll confess to only eating watermelon with salt on it. Mmmmm. And when we have biscuits, I only want butter on them and then sprinkle sugar on the melted butter. Now I might need some biscuits for dinner LOL!
Yeah!! Another Dawn! I swear I have never seen so many “Dawn’s” until I became a member of SCS. We are EVERYWHERE on there:) Pretty neat! Anyhoo, I suppose drinking pickle juice isn’t weird if you preggers…lol I don’t really see any other desire to drink it in everyday life…lol But hey, we all have our “tastes”:) I used to love eating Crisco as a kid…I told my hubby about my gross infatuation with it a few years ago and he never lets me live it down!!!
Dawn

Oh yuck…pickle juice… that is weird!! As many of the comments I’ve read seem to be related to eating this is something weird about me. I don’t like to have different foods on my plate touching each other. Makes me sick to see food piled up on plates at “all you can eat” buffets!!!
Something that I do that may be weird to others…Where do I begin? LOL – Well for starters I actually kiss my cats on the lips (some people find that horribly offensive)although I don’t know why. When I was younger I liked to read the dictionary and still enjoy looking up new words. Ida
My kids(23,27 &29) come over & drink ALL the pickle juice so I end up with shriveled dry pickles….I like tamale,mustard & bologna sandwiches. Very tasty. I chase my grandsons around acting like a gorilla.
Okay, I am definately wierd in my eating habits. When I am having a craving and can’t find anything good to munch on, I mix cake mix with water and add chocolate chips and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Sounds wierd, but is tasty. I obviously have an eating disorder of some type. 🙂
I also like pickle juice, but the wierdest thing so my family says is my FAVORITE SANDWICH . I take Miracle Whip & spread it on a slice of bread & then spread peanut butter on the other slice. I then slice sweet pickles lengthwise & cover one slice of the bread put together as a sandwich. OH MY GOSH you have to try it. I also put salt on my grapefruit ( great)
I get weird looks when I ask for vinegar to go with my french fries. You pour vinegar over the fries and then salt them down good. Yummy!!
I’ve enjoyed reading everyone else’s too.
I can’t think of anything. My DH has to put his right shoe on first, but he puts his left leg in his pants first.
I kiss my cats too. I always count the steps when I go up or down them. I sneeze and blow my nose at the same time.
My weird thing that I do, is that I can’t start a project until I have everything just perfect. Like buying every color stamp pad and paper that SU! has.
I jump out of perfectly good airplanes…In fact, that is how I met my husband. Everyone asks since I lived in a military town, if I was active duty…The answer is NO, never! I am not that tough! I admire the gals who do it, but not me! I have an immense fear of heights. However, I always wanted to skydive. So one day I decided to do it…I have been injured before but kept coming back until I got my “A” license…In fact, both my husband and I have our names in the same USPA magazine for my “A” license and his “B” license. We were married about 2 months after we met. We were friends for a month, he broke up with the gal he was seeing to ask me out…We dated less than a month, were engaged for a week and got married on Myrtle Beach, yes, on the beach! This June it will be 9 years! 🙂
Ok Dawn, The only reason I’m giving you this info is because your boxes are so darn cute!!!….
OK, at work when I have to go #2 (poop) I wait until no one is in the boys bathroom and hurry and go, so then no one will now it was me who made the girls room stink….And that don’t happen very often cuz I HATE going bathroom in public.
Hmmm – Weird thing??? That is a really good question. One weird thing I do I guess is when I eat a HoHo. I first take off the outer layer of chocolate in sheets if you will. Then I unroll the rolled up cake part and scoop up the frosting, and THEN, when the frosting is all gone, I eat the cake! It makes it last much, much longer that way ;OP
I don’t know is this weird? When I want to remember to bring something with me when I go somewhere I put my keys in the freezer. So when I go to leave and I can’t find my keys, I remember they are in the freezer and then I wonder why, and then I remember what I want to bring.
I also set the timer to remind me of all kinds of things like when to turn the sprinkler off or how long my kids are allowed to play their video games. We have a lot of timers going at once around here!
I love your blog, Dawn, you remind me of my neiece’s friend, Sarah.
I love baked potatoes with cream corn and sour cream… everyone i know seems to think it is the weirdest thing!
Crystal
I wear a necklace with my parent’s ashes in it. It helps me feel like they are close to me.
My husband thinks I’m crazy, because I but peanut butter on my pancakes. But you know what my daughter loves it too, so I’m not the only crazy one. I just love your blog!
I don’t know if this is weird or not but my kids think it is – I CAN’T blow a bubble, roll my tongue (although I hear that’s either in your genes or not)or whistle….I’m orally handicapped….
hi Dawn- love your blog! My weird thing is peanut butter with vanilla ice cream – sooo good you should try it!! thanks for sharing all your great ideas; hope i’m not entering too late!
Beth B.
Dawn,
You are so much fun!!!
My weird thing is that I have to separate all the m&m’s in an individual bag by color. Then I eat the ones that have the most until they all have the same amount in each color.
I also eat one thing at a time (just like Shell said above)
I had an ex-mil who made homemade potato salad with gherkins & put some of the juice in with it – yummy!!
Oh Wendy’s french fries dipped in their chocolate frosty is the bomb!!!
I can’t do anything unless it is the last minute….note that it is 3 minutes until 10:00! Now I am going to make valentine cards!
OOps, guess I didn’t know your time zone….I’m too late…boo hoo
My husband and my brother-in-laws think my three sisters and I are weird because we like bananas sliced length wise, spread with Miracle Whip salad dressing, and sprinkled with lots of crushed peanuts! YUMMY!!! For my Tummy!!!
Ok I am not the only weirdo! I just read all 86 ,messages in one sitting. I also refuse to eat food that is touching on my plate. I also only eat one thing at a time. Salad, Veggies, Pasta, Meat.. you get the idea I hope… I have to have my feet uncovered at night to sleep, I have to have everything out I own for stampin before I even start. There just is so much madness or should I say weirdness? Oh and I used to color sort my clothes for myself and my DH till he started helping with the laundry and I couldn’t keep up. Or when I am reading stuff for school…. I have to have all the chapters printed before I will even start, Then my notebook, pen, pencil, highlighter, flags, and whiteout or I can’t read and take notes…. Oh and when I was a kid I used to love to put chips on my sandwhiches… only meat though not on peanut butter… hahaha!
