Two memes for the price of one....

Tootsie Farklepants (I giggle everytime I read, say, or type her name!) has tagged me for a 7 things meme. I have done this before, here and here, but I'm sure I can think of 7 more....and I haven't taken the required photos for the other post I'm working on, so here goes:

You already know the rules. Oh - and Chantelle tagged me for a meme a while back where I was supposed to link back to some of my favourite posts. I'm lazy, so I'll combine that meme with this one.

1. My first kiss was with the Spanish cousin of a friend's next-door neighbour. We were all playing tag. The only English he knew was the lyrics to Motley Crue's 'Smokin' in the Boy's Room'. I was 10. That song still makes me smile and I still like Latin men - but don't worry Matthew, I'll always love you best.

2. I don't clean the house nearly as often as I should, but when I do clean something I tend to get a little obsessive compulsive about it. If you like the fridge, you should see what I can do with a linen closet.

3. I like re-arranging furniture. I find it therapeutic. If Hubs is away and I can't sleep I will do it in the middle of the night.

4. Sometimes when I watch my husband sleeping I have to fight back an urge to kick him repeatedly. Sometimes I give in and hoof him quickly in the shins.

5. At my sister's house on Christmas day as I was watching my beautiful nephew Bill play in his exersaucer, Bad walked up, put a finger in his mouth, and extracting it with a pop, inserted it into his cousin's ear. Then he looked at me, smiled and high-fived. Yes, at the tender age of 12 months, my son has learned to execute a perfect 'wet willie'. I'm so proud.

6. I hate wearing socks. If I didn't have children to set a good example for, I probably wouldn't wear them at all. I do like my slippers, and I covet these, which would render socks redundant, even in winter.

7. I think I'm addicted to blogging. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is flick on the computer on my way to make coffee.

Gah! I had a hard time with this today, and not only because I've got a child on each leg. I'm not tagging anyone, but if you feel you need an excuse to talk about yourself, feel free!

I am all about being barefoot or just wearing flip-flops. I can't wear them now, but I am so missing all of the pairs in my closet.

Hey, can you send me an email, so I have your email address? I always want to comment back to you and I can't cause I don't have your email address.

Good meme! Hope you and the family had a great Christmas - and that you'll all have a great New Year. It's been fun getting to know the Bad family. Look forward to reading many more posts next year.

I hate wearing socks too. But, I don't feel compelled to wear them for my son :)
He's never noticed, except when I need to re-do my toenails!!!

I HATE SOCKS TOO! You wouldn't believe the crap I take for it. They make me feel all constricted. And toe socks? Don't get me started.

Let's talk about rearranging furniture. i have never been able to do that-- I get used to things the same way- but I change paint and accessories like seasons.
