Bloggy Giveaways - $50 Amazon gift certificate
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER. THANKS FOR PLAYING. YOU’RE ALL VERY INTERESTING.
Surely, there is something on Amazon that you can find that you would like.
The rules for the giveaway are simple. With a catch. (So really, not simple).
You must leave a comment on this post but it cannot be something lame like “I want to enter this giveaway.”
Tell me something interesting - can you touch your nose with your tongue? Do you have more than eleven body piercings? Do you think Mark Twain is funny or irritating? Please, tell me something interesting, because I don’t think I can stand to read a bunch of “I’m in for the giveaway” comments. If you’re really pressed to come up with your own comment, try one of these options and fill in the blank:
a) Coffee tastes like _______ .
b) Flavor Flav is ________ .
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these _______ .
d) I have _______ children and two _______ .
e) Eggs taste best when _______ .
f) I _______ read(ing) All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you _________ ).
I will most likely do a random drawing. But if someone in particular REALLY makes me laugh, I might just declare that person the winner.
Oh, and bonus: no mailing involved. All you need is an email for me to send you the code. Which means anyone can play, US, International, Bloggers, non-Bloggers, etc.
Other details –
You can only leave one comment. So if you can touch your nose with your tongue AND have eleven piercings, leave both of those details in one comment or pick which one you’d prefer to tell. If you want extra entries, you can get one entry for every post of mine that you Stumble or Digg (or just tell me which other socal bookmarking site you prefer to use, I’m sure my button at the bottom has a link to it, but I’m only only checking Digg and Stumble unless you notify me otherwise) between now and the day I draw the winner, which is Saturday November 1st.
What I’ll do is send the winner an email or comment on their blog, wait three days for a response, and if they respond, they get the code. If they don’t respond, I’ll choose someone else.

Unusual thing: we have a pet hedgehog!
Great prize; thank you!

I think I’m number 1, so this won’t get picked, but, someone has to start, right?
I have two children and two cribs…2 cars…2 carseats…2 high chairs…oh and they’re both under 2! We’re like the ark over here
did I make you laugh? 
My feet are two different sizes. Not by just a little… literally two sizes. My left foot is a size 6 and the right is a 6 1/2 to a 7. So it makes buying shoes not fun!! My husband loves making fun of me for it, too. =)
Your mother has double-jointed thumbs! (actually my kid does and he goes to French school where they call him “Elliot aux mains des saucissons.”)
Everyone tells me I’m weird for this, but…I do not like sunny days, they make me feel sluggish and grumpy. On the other hand, cloudy, overcast days are when I feel best. My husband tells me either I’m wired backwards or I was a vampire in another life, LOL! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Hmmm, well, I can totally wiggle my ears, and I can burp really, really well. Now if that ain’t classy, I don’t know what is, LoL! Thanks
Well, what makes me a bit different from everyone else is that panic at the disco (the band) changed my life. no, they did not SAVE my life…the literally and simply just…changed it.
i loved to read so i joined their online book club when they formed it in the end of sophomore year of high school.
i read awesome books and talked about them. got into new authors. met really great people and became friends.
got my first pen pal and then my second from members of the book club.
became the board moderator at a point.
“won” an autographed book by chuck palahniuk, which is just amazing to have.
went to new jersey twice to see the bamboozle music festival and met some book club people both times.
started my blog (an online zine) with one member from the club which got me doing what i do now…being more interested in freelancing, interviewed by a local paper.
oh, and i was interviewed in a big music mag for being the mod of the book club.
it’s been…almostt three years now, and my life is completely and totally different…b/c of panic at the disco.
what’s that? you’re saying I don’t deserve to win b/c of all my good fortune in the past???
aw, shucks….but i really really really like books and music and i’m a poor college student? does that help any????

I was delivered not by the Stork, but by the Easter Bunny, and I’m the only person I know who can say that! Thanks for the chance!
I am missing a bone in each of my pinkie toes!
Just for fun…
a) Coffee tastes like being awake. Unless it’s bad office coffee, in which case it tastes like warm dirt.
b) Flavor Flav is yummy (I’m guessing- no experience here).
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these really dumb looking merchandising hats with ear flaps on them.
d) I have very energetic children and two is about all I can handle.
e) Eggs taste best when you are really hungry.
f) I should be read(ing) All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you zilch, in my book ).
I can’t touch my nose with my tongue, or lick my elbow, or anything unusual like that. But I have been rapelling. And directed traffic. And assisted with crowd control. And some other cool stuff - all as part of an experimental program called “Teen Police” at one of the military bases we once lived at.
In high school my favorite band was Uncle Tupelo. My friend and I stalked them for a whole day, but never talked to them. We were too shy:)
I’ve also done a belly flop off the high dive! I was trying to do a dive but failed. The Lifeguard even jumped in to save me. I guess it wasn’t pretty.
When I was coming into this world, I got stuck and was delivered as a conehead.
Eggs tast best when scrambled and layered with cream cheese!!

i’m deathly afraid of ronald mcdonald. not all clowns just him. i’ve been this way since kindergarten. i had a dream that everyone was turning into him, except for me and my sister. we were hiding and i turned around to say something to her and she had red hair. i woke up in a cold sweat. ironically though i ended up marrying a guy with red hair..
I have an extra thumb on my right hand! I’m not sure how unique that is, but it’s become a part of who I am!
orchestratenoise0726[at]yahoo[dot]com
Hmmm…I am a stay at home mom who is really much more of a group of people type of person. I also homeschool although my hubby is a public school teacher. My hubby also looks alot like Neil Patrick Harris.
I can read upside down and also write upside down with both hands (not at the same time)
Thanks!
I have a flock of 11 brown egg laying hens living in my backyard.
I live in a new neighborhood within our city limits.
Shhhhhh….don’t tell anyone they’re there!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I run an adult toy review company, which means I get paid to um…”have fun”! Yes, it IS the best job in the world!
I also know how to speak russian, french, spanish, and sign language. So when people are talking in another language in a store, complaining about prices or whatever thinking no one can understand them, I can respond them - it surprises them every time!
Sweet giveaway! Thanks so much.
I can touch my thumb to my wrist, and curl my tounge. Nothing super exciting, but not everyone can do it.
Egg tastes best when it’s a Cadbury.
quitecontrary1977@hotmail.com
My favorite colors are purple and yellow.
I think Mark Twain is boring! I like a lot of classic books, but Twain… ugh.
I had stomach trouble and needed surgery and now I do not have a belly button. I keep thinking that I would go and ask to get my belly button pierced and see the look on their face.
I like the challenge but have no real interesting thing about me, so I leave you with this poem I wrote a while back, that seem to describe my inept in coming up with something:
dissolve this weak tongue
a trinket without desire
my zest has vanished
I can blow spit bubbles with my mouth and I am double jointed!!! Yes, I can touch my nose with my tongue and I can also whistle and hum at the same time. I am a freak!
I can wiggle my ears and my nose, although not at the same time. I just tried. Next….
I like to smell my earwax.
And I agree, it IS gross.
: )
Interesting thing huh, well, I have a dog with no ear canals but he can hear a cookie drop from 400 yards away! I go to the mall to watch people, not to shop!
I am terrified of dogs. I read the whole 2444 pages of the Twilight Saga in under 20 hours. My husband is a deputy and I am a teacher so we are two of the most underpaid professions in the world and therefore I need anything free I can get. Also, for a sympathy vote…I teach junior high…so…feel sorry for me! However…surprisingly enough….I love my job!!!!
I like to eat pork brains and scrambled eggs together. Really grosses most people out, but you should try it sometime. Tasty!!!
sherri419 at gmail dot com
I can write with my toes. My toes are so freakishly long that I can pick up things and do some pretty weird things with my toes!
I always grow my red hair out really long, then chop it off to donate it.

My 3 1/2 year old made the comment!
Coffee tastes like burnt chocolate.
I was raised by a real life hippie.
I am a pastor’s wife.
I have a child with autism spectrum disorder.
I moved at least once per year as a child and went to 14 different schools in 13 years.
Well something interesting???? Im not sure I can comeup with something better then the above ones…( No belly Button, working for an adult toy company, and an extra thumb :)) So I will answer your questions.
a) Coffee tastes like dirt. ( I hate Coffee )
b) Flavor Flav is the most disgusting man. ( I have no idea how those woman kiss him)
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these pies.
d) I have 2 children and two dogs and one cat and two fish and one husband .
e) Eggs taste best when they are scrambeld with cheese.
f) I have never read All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you into many places ).
I love buttercups and fireflies…they remind me of simpler days when I was a little girl running barefoot on the farm.
I can’t stand houses with aluminum awnings over the windows (I’m looking at my neighbor’s house right now). And I don’t like front porches that are converted to sunrooms. They always seem like a junk repository. (again, neighbor’s house). Quite a random observation, huh?
Until I was 10, I lived on a boat named SNAFU. Yep, SNAFU, which my parents told me meant Situation Normal All Fouled Up. (Yes, I realize the F can have another meaning). It was a boat they converted into a houseboat from an old Navy launch (the boats that went out to rescue other boats, thus the name).
I used to be terrified of Michael Jackson as a kid. I used to have nightmares that he was hiding under my bed….
Maybe it was the weird hair and the leather gloves.
I can touch my nose with my tongue, fake a sneeze, move one eyebrow at a time, and wiggle just my right ear…but probably not all at the same time.
Something weird about me..Well, I have to make a plan and stick to it or else *I* have to be the one to alter said plan. It all has to be under my control. I don’t mind doing what someone else wants to do, but I have to agree to it in the beginning. If something changes halfway through the day, I’m *very* likely to have an anxiety attack and just want to go home, even if the thing that changed was for the better.
I have two kids which I why I’m often tired–mainly because they have friends, and our house is the gathering house, and they run in and out and make messes and have fun. I don’t know who Flavor Flav is. I like really good chocolate and Doctor Who.
Terrific giveaway. Thanks for offering it.
I do have a full house! I have 3 kids under 5, a dog, 4 cats and 2 fish. Oh and dh i have to clean up after as well!!!
I have Perfect Pitch and so does my daughter. My father has Relative Pitch, which means he can sort of guess which note he hears, but my daughter and I know exactly what note we hear.
Funny you should mention Mark Twain. He’s the source of one of my all time favorite quotes. Regarding Jane Austen, Twain wrote:
“Everytime I read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”
My kinda guy, Twain.
Eggs taste best when scrambled with spinach and cheese. That’s how I eat them every morning.
I trip over my own feet. A lot. In front of other people.
1) Coffee tastes like hobo butt unless it has sweet delicious caramel coffee goop in it.
2) Flavour Flav is.. I was going to write “the man of my dreams” but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Gross.
3) I have 17 children and 3 sister wives.
Hmm, I have a secret crush on a celebrity. I plan on keeping it a secret too. And I wish I Could touch my nose with my tongue, that’s cool.
Thanks
My company, Tooties Bubbles, is named after me! My nickname (Tootie) was given to me by my grandpa when I was 2. (And no, it is not because I farted a lot, he says it was because I acted like a little Toot.) To this day I have heard him say my actual name, Lauren, ONE time (And this is when he was with me getting my first car and he had to give my actual name for something on the title). He introduces me as Toot or Tootie to his friends and other people. But, I love it. Doesn’t embarass me at all!
I’m an environmentalist but also a registered republican and member of the Libertarian party.
I have 8 parrots, 4 dogs, 2 Rats and no time for me……hmmmmm….
I have had 3 kids in under 3 years!
My feet are two different sizes (like 8 1/2 and 9 - 9 1/2) and I have a whole extra bone in each of my feet!
Growing up we raised and bred arctic wolves, still have 3 of them today.
And I hate all sauces, I eat salad with no dressing, potatoes with no gravy, sandwiches with no mayo or mustard, you get the picture:)
i’ll use one of yours.
egg’s taste best when…. they are done! done, i tell you. done means done. not a little gooey, not just a bit soft, not well it’s only slightly wet in the very center of the yolk. no. that’s not gonna cut it. if i cut into my egg and there is the slightest hint of wet egg it’s going back. so be sure to break the yolk or it’s not going to get done.
ya, i have ordered my eggs at IHOP like that before. really! I have! for some reason my family doesn’t let me order eggs when we go out for breakfast anymore. pancakes, anyone?
aren’t you glad you posted that egg question???
We got to move these refigerators…. because, once again, the dog has peed in the kitchen.
Something interesting about myself…let’s see I’m obsessed with books. I’m obsessed with blogging. I check my email constantly. I love to do things “again, again” like I watch Enchanted six times the week it was released
Becky (laney_poATyahooDOTcom)
i hate it when people don’t brush their eyebrows and they’re all scraggly. even guys. my friend steve used to mess his up on purpose b/c it drove me nuts.
a) Coffee tastes like poop by itself but with a bunch of creamer its great.
b) Flavor Flav is incredibly annoying.
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these stoves?
d) I have one child and two feet .
e) Eggs taste best when paired with bacon.
f) I love read(ing) All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you high).
I have 4 kids, my name means “little violet” and as for reading right now…I have a HUGE stack of parenting books that are sadly neglected because I have difficulty completing any book that requires a thought process (refer back to the 4 kids to understand why).
I have a really smart dog - it only took her a few weeks to train me.
* I am one of seven kids.
* Our family used to have a farm with Chickens and cows along with other animals
* I play the violin and LOVE it!!!
* I have food allergies and can’t have wheat,dairy,pomergrants, clams,gluten, peanut-butter, and eggs.
* I help kids with violin every Saturday morning and have been for about five years.

Well I can’t think of anything else right now!Thanks.

Strange, I love to cook for people, but I can not stand the thought of someone handling MY food.

I randomly comment on people’s blogs that I don’t know, just hoping to get free stuff. Is that an odd enough quality?
my first daughter was born 6 weeks premature in a korean hospital, surrounded by korean nurses and doctors (i couldn’t tell the difference– they were all in scrubs!), and not a single one spoke english! at least we knew which baby was ours in the NICU :).
a) Coffee tastes like _______ .
exhiliration, heaven, and purely selfish sex (where who cares if your partner is satisfied, it’s all you!) all rolled into one.
Or, as Homer Simpson says, “groin-grindingly good”.
I am a twin!
But I’m not telling her about this giveaway! Because it’s awesome.
And because I’m the selfish twin.
I can move my bottom lip without moving anything else on my face. Try it. I learned it in High School. And it’s a good thing I learned SOMETHING while I was barely passing Physics, Chemistry and Geometry.
I hope you *randomly* pick me. I would love fifty Amazon dollars.
Don’t listen to all these joannie-loves-chachi-come-latelys. I am a regular reader of your blog. One of your core Bloglines subscribers. I mourned your blog absence and relished the day of your return. I defended you when Dooce started picking on you. (Okay, I made that last part up, but I would take her down if she ever so much laid a keyboard line on you, woman!) Ignore those others. They only like you because you’re giving away something free. And a true friend, such as me, would tell you that.
Thanks for the giveaway! Enter me!
J/K! Hmm, let’s see. My grandma has seven children in her family. My dad has seven children in his family. I am the youngest of seven children. Does this mean that I have to have seven children? I could, since I had my first at age 22, but my goodness, I don’t know if I could do the whole pregnancy thing six more times…
I can remember 3 or 4 dreams a night. I have traveled out of body on numerous occasions. Thanks for the giveaway.
My first tattoo was done by a person who appeared in the movie An Officer And A Gentleman
I can fluently speak Pig Latin. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Of course there are many interesting things about me but I don’t have anything OBVIOUSLY interesting, although I do have a neighbor who can put both her feet behind her head! A few random things:
-I LOVE the smell of pinesol (this is from being in daycare as a child!)
AND
-I could make cookies in a tree (I have the ears to prove it)
And for the record I think Flava Flav is very entertaining if not completely annoying along with Brett Micheals and every girl that’s been on his show!
Thanks for hosting!
I am a hypnotherapist and energy healer. Thanks for the giveaway!
Well, yes I can touch my nose with my tongue, although I don’t have a picture of it, I can show you my freakishly long ‘kiss’ like tongue and I have a daughter who takes after me as well with it. Wanna take a peek???

I also stumbled your post
(lyricsmama)
I’m half Ukrainian, but I only know how to say 2 phrases in Ukrainian. (spelled phonetically, I said I can speak it not write it!) The first is “Ya tu be dom pousrachi” which means ‘I am going to give you a spanking’, and the second is “Dominy Hroshi” which means ‘give me money’. So if I ever get stranded in the Ukraine, I could take up an ‘alternative’ career and earn a plane ticket back! Ha!

My favorite food is fruit
Clif bars and Luna bars are a close second. Please enter me and thank you for the giveaway!
I’m a Mormon Democrat living in Texas. Which means I can’t talk politics with my friends OR my neighbors. Ah well. At least a $50 Amazon gift card would make me feel better.
I can croak like a frog - very popular thing among toddlers.
I can roll my tounge and I can also roll it so there are two loops in it, making it look like a letter m. So I can spell, moo, mom and wow (upside down)

I have an 8 year old daughter named Riley and I’m pretty sure that she’s smarter than me. I know she’s smarter than most of the adults that I know and has more common sense than them too.
I can touch my tongue to chocolate! Any day, any time, any place. You name it! Woohoo go me! SUPERSTAR!
Well, I’ve been told this is odd, but if it’s a beautiful day outside I actually feel guilty if I don’t go to the beach! Let’s say we decide to stay in and get some work done around the house, I feel bad that I didn’t sit in my beach chair all day! Should be the other way around, but what can you do.
Something interesting?…..hmmmmmm i collect stickers and never use them, i think its something from my childhood, never having them maybe….well that seems kinda sad LOL

margelina@comcast.net
I can’t touch my tongue with my nose, but I have relatives that can! A niece and a nephew were both taught by their grandpa that they could do so, as it runs in the family on his side. Unfortunately that meant that when these kids were younger, they wouldn’t use a kleenex! Why wipe when you can lick?!! Eww. Thanks for the great chance to win! chattyhousewife(at)gmail.com

My first one got all messed up
My husband made me take out a life insurance policy before I could continue my hobby of horseback riding.
I would have a dozen kids if my DH let me.
We have three, so I guess that’s a start!
I have a tattoo, and next to it is a tiny scar where my daughter tried to scratch it off when she was teeny–she thought it was a sticker.
I CAN NOT sleep without the bottom of the sheet tucked in. My husband cant sleep WITH it tucked in. That about sums us up!
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to enter.
Eggs taste best when fried sunny side up!
My two-year-old baby girl has THE smelliest feet I’ve ever smelled. Seriously the smelliest! Even after a bath. I need to google that.
Okay, you’re suggestion about touching your nose with your tongue reminded me of my unique trait:
I’m tongue-tied. This is a for real thing. It means my tongue is too tightly attached to the floor of my mouth. I can only stick out my tongue about an inch.
Amazing but true.
(I think that earns two entries.
)
my first and middle name is Sarah anne. my family used to make fun of me when i was little saying that if i married someone with the last name of Rap, then i would be saranrap.
I once had over 70 cats
Thanks for the giveaway!!

Well..today was one of those days…I ran out to get the mail and my cat locked me out of the house! I apparently forgot to turn the lock so when he brushed against it..it shut and locked. I had to break into a window the size of a postage stamp because all the other ones were locked (yay for my always being scared someone is going to break in theory!)..and I almost got stuck! I could see that darn cat on the counter eating the sandwich I made before going out to get the mail as I tried to wriggle through the window! I am starting to think he planned the whole darn thing! Note to self: You need to diet, Angie, in case this happens again. That window was really small and those marks may be there until next week.
Hmm. Interesting things about me. I lived in Moscow, Russia for two years. I have lived in Alaska for 15 years. I have been in love with my sweet husband for 10 years. We’ve been married almost three years (December 31). I first kissed him five years ago. In three more months we will have a third in our family to cherish and grow in the Lord!
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these _______ Color TVs!!! Eighties flashback, and thanks for the earworm!
Thank you for the great giveaway opportunity!
I review books, which isn’t so unusual in the cyber world, but try telling people in the “real life” world that you do that–they think you’re quite odd.
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs…(Dire Straits)
Sorry, I don’t have anything else significant to add
I’ve always wanted to eat those tiny sugar ants (but I’m not brave enough)–they look sweet and crunchy.

Okay… I am related to semi-famous criminals–on both sides of my family.
On my father’s side, my great (or great-great) uncles were the Younger brothers. They were bank/train robbers who hung out with none other than Frank and Jesse James.
On my mother’s side, I am related to the Hamilton brothers. Raymond was part of Bonnie and Clyde’s gang and as a result of his life of crime was executed in the 30’s. A famous radio preacher at the time gave a sermon title “The Execution of Raymond Hamilton” that blamed his parents’ divorce and the movies for how he ended up. His brother, Floyd, considered guilty by association with his brother, decided he might as well be guilty. He ended up on the 10 most wanted list in 1938 and eventually was incarcerated on Alcatraz. He actually escaped, got in the water, everything. He was declared dead for a day or two because they thought he’d been shot in the water. He spend a couple of days freezing his naked keister off in a cave on the island before turning himself in.
That’s my comment. How about that gift card?
lol.. you’re too funny! well, i’ve officially declared the last friday of every month as SUSHI night.. and that mean this Friday is all about sushi!!

One time I went to see a KISS tribute band and the fake Paul Stanley put his guitar pick down my shirt.
Lets se….I served a 5 month tour in Iraq back in 2004-2005. My thumbs are double jointed. I love all reality television *hanging head in shame* When I was pregnant I could eat A LOT of Krispy Kreme donuts–to this day I have not had one since….
Thanks for the fun giveaway
I can put my fist in my mouth. (well…I used to, I havent actually tried it in years.)
I am a HUGE VOL fan from Tn. So big that in my former home I painted my half bath orange and white, my front door orange and white. (U.T. Vols colors are orange and white for those who have no idea what I am talking about)
Thank you,
Patty
I can stick my tongue up my nose. I used to be able to put both of my ankles behind my neck/head while sitting up straight.
I have three children and two eyeballs.
Fun giveaway! I need a new phone and Amazon has the one I want!
Hmmm. I have 5 pierings in one ear, 4 kids, 3 fish, 2 Airedale Terriers and 1 husband.
Guess I’m kinda boring.

Something interesting…I have 4 tattoos (very tiny and hidden so not even my readers know!. Really, and one I got with my mom and sisters on her 50th birthday. We all have the same tiny heart tattooed in a hidden place. I know, not so interesting. Well in 3rd grade my dad made me right to President Reagan to congratulate him on winning the election and in the mail I received a letter from the white house. The following week I received a large box from the white house!! An autographed picture of Ronald Reagan on a horse! Yes, I brought it for show and tell and was totally made fun of. My dad had it framed and it still hangs in the house…in my dad’s work room in the garage! Thought that might make you laugh. it is sad, but true!
I have two kids and four very spoiled rescue cats and one husband and one hamster and an unknown number of dust bunnies

I CAN touch my tongue to my nose!!!
I am a homeschooling mama to 4 kiddos..people used to call me Pamela Anderson when I was younger

) I have 1 children and two _nervous breakdowns a day
I have given birth 3 times in my living room!
a) Coffee tastes like iced coffee - I never seem to drink my coffee BEFORE it gets cold.
b) Flavor Flav is totally freaky!!!! And why does he have his own show?
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these dishwashers (I have no clue!).
d) I have two children (three if you count my husband who refuses to grow up) and two sore feet from doing too much walking today!
e) Eggs taste best when smothered in cheese! Better yet when I’m at a restaurant and not at home (I hate trying to remove egg and cheese from plates!).
f) I truly reading All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you a win!).
I have a tattoo… It’s a honey pot with bumble bees. It says “Hunny” on top of it. My husband always calls me Hunny. He NEVER refers to me as Kimberly unless he’s introducing me to someone.
I have four cats and a dog. My dog THINKS he’s a cat! He even loves catnip!
I have a hamster, Lucy. We adopted her from the animal shelter. She was abandoned there. Turns out she has DIABETES!!! Yes, they get that disease too. That is probably why they abandoned her. How sad is that!
I have a home business. My life is my computer.
Shall I go on or shall I bore you some more? LOL!!!
Thanks for a super duper totally awesome giveaway! How’s that for kissing up?
Let’s see - my hubby and I were engaged for 2.5 years before we finally got married. Everyone thought we were crazy but the timing was perfect for us! Thanks for hosting this contest.
I come from a long line of people named after presidents (first and middle names) but since there hasn’t been a female president, I got my own name.
I have Hitchhiker’s Thumb.
And if I’m going to move the refrigerator, I might as well move the color TV…
Thanks for offering this!
How about this? When I drive my son to school every day, there is an onion farm nearby so everyday we end up having discussion about onions because the air is FILLED with the aroma/odor.
I have zero children and two pets–1 dog and 1 cat.
Eggs taste best when they are scrambled!
I love my husband, but harbor a huge crush on Johnny Depp.
Thanks for the entry!

Eggs taste best with ketchup and black pepper. In fact anything is edible with either tabasco sauce or black pepper.
Thank you for this great giveaway!
talent? what talent.. haha… the only skill i have is an annoying one, everytime i clench a fist on my right hand all my knuckles pop. In other words, if i keep opening and closing my hand, it sounds like someone just poured milk in their rice krispies! So proud momma that I am…. neither of my children have the knuckle gene, it moved further up the arm…. if either of them extend their arms quicly, their elbows do the same thing
arent’ we a talented family 
Actually my daughter has us all beat. One day over dinner my son asked if it were possible to expell gas from both ends at the same time (good dinner convo), and my little 7 yr old lady immediately as if on cue… passed gas while belching (both rather loudly) and smiled and said “yup… you can!”
we are certainly very well mannered people
We have a weird dog who will not jump up on you (usually) but always loves to put his head on your feet no matter where you are. So I guess he has a foot fetish :-). He iwll do this to anyone!
Years ago my house was raided by the FBI. It turned out to be a big mistake.
I have traveled to 14 different countries around the world!
I pierced my ears, 3 times on one side, all by myself with a frozen orange and a sewing needle! I have a cookie cookbook with over 400 cookie recipes and I’ve made every single one! How’s that?
I can ride a bike better at 49 than I did at 25
I now fix my scrambled eggs with Braggs liquid amino acids (like soy sauce minus the GMO). Yum!
I asked my son what to say and here’s his input: “When I build with Legos I just think, think, think about what it should be built and then before you know it it’s done. Oh wait I need to tell you my dad builds with me.” He’s five years old.
Entertaining? Thank you!
I can wear my baby on my back!
this is cool she’s only 2 months old.
You’ve heard that people have attached or unattached earlobes? I have one of each - a genetic freak!
Thanks for the contest!
Way back when, when I was in junior high, my dad worked with a guy in Japan who made this new shampoo. He came home from a business trip to Japan, brought me a sample bottle and I loved it. It was pink and smelled like strawberries and it had these little beads floating around in it that looked like pearls. I kept talking about how much I loved the shampoo… and my dad told this guy in Japan. Next thing I knew, a photographer showed up at our house and took a bunch of pictures of me holding the bottle of shampoo. I ended up in an ad that circulated throughout magazines in Japan advertising the new shampoo! Why did it have little pearl beads in it? I have no idea!! That couldn’t have been good for the hair!
I have an awful fear of biscuit cans … you know, the popping. Anyway, thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway.

Since becoming a mother, my internal stream of consciousness has become exceedingly profane (whereas before I rarely even thought in vulgarities).
I LOVE black licorice and my daughter was born in Africa while we were living over there.
I had my appendix out twice…Long story!
I can pick things up with my toes…
I’m a 19 year old university student majoring in the social sciences [and minoring in english/math], and I believe in ghosts/poltergiests, the boogeyman, aliens, bigfoot, the new jersey devil, area 51, el chubracabra, ogopogo, mothman, nessie, and government conspiracy to make us all lazy, fat mindless droids -shifty eyes-
hehe, I’ve been told on occassion I was an oddball.
I have 2 children and 22 chickens.
I’m not very athletic, but I’m really good at Wii boxing!
I was a diver in college but jumping off of (small) cliffs into lakes still scares me.
I don’t know if I can do this twice, but I found an apple that totally looks like a butt!! I found it in my bag-o-apples from the store. Beat that!
hahahah I have slightly webbed toes thats interesting huh?
I went to 47 shows of one band one year, and no it wasn’t the grateful dead. and I held a full time job the whole year too.
I can twitch my nose like a rabbit.
Fun fact…I have broken both of my thumbs twice. Twice during softball, once in dance class and once when my sister slammed the van door on it. I had a great cast collection before I hit 16.
I love Amazon. Thank you!!

I have a tattoo. It is a japenese symbol and they told me it means warrior. But who knows if it really does lol!
I am not that interesting, but I will tell you that I am addicted to reading. I have so many books on my TBR (To Be Read) pile that I actually have several piles. Some of my piles are hidden from my husband! Does that stop me from buying more? No! I have a serious problem!
castings[at]mindspring[dot]com
Oh I I have done artificial insemination on cattle and yes, I still use that hand!:)
Something interesting about me…for some strange reason, I still know the dance moves to a nsync song.
I’ve also left a link of your giveaway up at my blog, it’s under ‘Giveaway List’.
Thanks!

Since I was a little girl, I’ve found stroking ribbon very soothing. Weird, huh?
zipster81(at)juno(dot)com
I have 2 false teeth-genetic and so my kids now have the same problem. Maybe not so weird. Uh…Now I have the song in my head and probably will for 3 days-from c) above…Good memories though! Color TV’s!
Hows this one for you:
My junior year college roommates (there were 3 of us!) are now both my sisters in law! One of the gals had 2 brothers and we managed to snag them both. Sadly neither one of us has a brother that is unwed….

Hi, my name is Fantacy…yes…really…no, I did not come up with it and change my name to it, it is the one my mom picked out for me when I was born…
I have 3 kidlets, 2 boys 1 girl ages 13, 10, 4…my 4 yr old daughter “loses” boogers in my purse (ok not LOSES, but LOST one in there on Tuesday)…why? you might ask…it is b/c she insists on smelling the top of my purse in search of gum since she is not allowed to get into my purse I often catch her sniffing the top of my purse seeing if she can smell the gum inside….Tuesday I caught her and asked her what she was doing and she informed me that she had “losted (her) booger in (my) purse” while sniffing for gum….
I can also cross one eye and leave the other totally straight…
wow how is that for a slightly disgusting, somewhat weird, and completely random trifold of randomness!?!
ty so much for the chance to win!
I have decided that coffee is best when I use flavored creamer and top it off with real whip cream. Everyday can be a yummy coffee day and it’s cheaper than Starbucks. This is my new fave!
enter me!
Man, I was going to say how that I have double jointed thumbs and fingers, but the first person to post does too! Well, I once had an iguana as a pet. Also, I can still do the moonwalk and the running man (don’t worry, not in public). I met Jimmy Buffet once. Hmm, that’s all I’ve got lol. Thanks for the giveaway!
My middle name is Moon and I lived in a tent when I was a little girl. Really!
Thank you for the generous giveaway!
foxsquirrelrabbit(at)gmail(dot)com
I used to be a modern dancer with a troupe called Naked Feet Dance Co. I once danced on hot coals. I also was a Moonie for two years. Now I’m a mommy!
I have 6 brothers and sisters And i love to dip french fries in chocolate shakes!
Great giveaway!
I have no kids (although I work with them), but my hubby and I have 2 cats.
My husband and I have unique terms of endearment for each other. Since I don’t “know” you and wouldn’t want to offend you or your readers you’d have to stop by my blog to find out what they are. (And they’re really not that bad!)
I have a big yellow lab that is just plain lazy or chicken. She won’t even chase deer out of our yard, unless I’m outside with her.

I buy tons of Halloween candy every year “just in case” even though we don’t get trick-or-treaters too often in our area. I just like the excuse to buy candy then “have” to eat it.
Geez, I don’t have anything strange about myself. I was born perfect and will die perfect…I wish!! I do have two grown kids who are a bit strange to me, I think maybe they got switched in the hospital. My son has tattoos everywhere, well not quite everywhere, but he has a ton of them. His arms are covered in what you’d call sleeves…My daughter has a few tattoos and colors her hair to suit her mood…right now it’s orange and brown for fall. And me…not one tattoo and the gray is showing in my hair. I should get a temporary tattoo and some color that will rinse out and go give them a taste of their own medicine.
My Grandpa’s name is Harry Potter. No joke!!!
I volunteered to be PTA president. Really, I did. Everyone laughs when I tell them that. (My husband looked up therapists when I told him.) I’m not volunteering again at the end of the year though, instead I’m going to be a Cub Scout leader.
OK, this is so not anything that I would normal put in a blog where others could see it but this just goes to show how much I need/want the gift cert.
A LONG time ago when I was in my early 20’s and working as an accounts payable clerk I actually put a booger (one of my own) on a check that I was sending out to a vendor!!! I had just gotten off the phone with the vendor and he was so condesending and mean to me and he had me in tears. Somehow, it made me feel a little bit better to picture his face when he opened his check.
Your giveaway is pretty cool. I stumbled upon the carnival site PURELY by accident/providence on SATURDAY. Whee for me, something to do all week.
I hate coffee, it smells like dirt and tastes like charcoal briquettes.
I love Chipotle, but their tomatoes suck because the fruit flies come out like, INSTANTLY, the minute you leave (oops) food out for like, 2 days, by accident, in the middle of a heatwave.
Nobody else’s food seems to come embedded with instant fruit flies.
I also quit eating at Rubio’s, the home of fish tacos, even though I LOVED their cheapola Taco Tuesdays, because last time I was there, I saw a weird employee goofing around, holding a cup of guacamole up in the air and flying it around like an airplane. And then she lost her grip (in more ways than one!) and dropped it upside down on the counter.
Instead of throwing it away, she scooped it ACROSS the counter WITH her bare hand back INTO the bowl and frickin’ put the lid on. She then set it on the shelf. I was so disturbed that I called over one of the employees behind the counter and told him about it, suggesting that it probably should not be served to any customers.
So that was fine, until the guy standing in line next to me started vigorously expelling God knows what from his cranium, via the nasal passages. Like, repeatedly.
And then inspecting the fruits of his labors in his napkin. Perhaps rubies and sapphires and other jewels erupted from there, I don’t know. 
But I’ve never gotten over the experience, as a whole, so I haven’t been back since. Imagine what goes on in kitchens that are NOT so open for public viewing.
Have a lovely day!
Black bananas are the tastiest…you eat them with a straw.
In 1992 I went down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. While down in the French Quarter, I met a girl about my age who looked totally goth, which was kind of a turn on for me.
We sat in this dark, smokey bar for hours and talked literature, music, etc. She was into The Cure (big surprise), early Depeche Mode (once again, big surprise) and really like Edgar Allen Poe. Me, being a Poe fan, led to us talking about Poe and all of his dark and twisted glory.
After about 3 hours of this, she invited me back to the place she was staying at. I thought I would get lucky, so I went along. We walked about 2 blocks north of the French Quarter to this old but very nice house. She let me in and when I walked in I could not notice but how dark and muggy it was in there, even more so than outside. She asked me to follow her and I go nervous when I heard several other voices.
Well long story short, she and her friends claimed that they were vampires and thought I would be a good addition to their brood since I could be a transition between the typical member and the typical population.
Needless to say that I bolted out of that house and ran faster than I think I had ever ran before.
One weird thing - I love to bake or make dessert, but cannot stand any other cooking. What an awesome prize, thanks for the chance to win.
My middle name is Delilah…for real!
Eggs are best…scrambled!
And Flavor Flav…don’t get me started. If I was going on a show to mack on a guy, I would want him to be at least a little cute.
I usually don’t participate in give-aways because I never win… but I like giving Karma a chance to redeem herself.
I am going to play off the other comments - which are fun (and interesting) hmmm….
I am so glad I didn’t live in a tent when I was little - totally an “indoor girl” here but my oldest would probably LOVE to live in a tent. Also, no middle name - certainly nothing as interesting as moon. Oh, why weren’t my parents hippies!? I was born at the perfect time (late 60’s) - I could have had a GREAT name!
I am so NOT double jointed. Could never even get a basic split down….
I do have a strange hereditary tooth defect - “peg tooth”. It has been capped since I was a teen but I am terrified that the cap will fall out and I will have a mouthful of coffee-stained, aged teeth and one tiny pearly white.
I can flare my nostrils easily
I was never a moonie or a dancer but think it would be interesting to live in a commune.
No tattoos - only piercings are on my ears. I guess I am kind of boring….
i only had one cat and found out I was highly allergic. I think 70 cats would kill me.
I think my head was round when I was born but who knows….
My feet are both the same size but went up 1/2 a size with each pregnancy - went from a 7.5 to a 9.
I could go on and on - thanks for the fun!
Um…I’m a SAHM and I like playing video games
Thanks for offering it!

I’m 35 and can’t ride a bike! I never learned because at the bike riding age, I was busy learning to ride horses and never bothered with the bike because I was truly that lazy. Now I’m too chicken to learn.
I have ____one CHILD___ and two ___newly adopted kittens (ugh) There mom was a stray and I found the kitties in the engine of my moms car. Ugh I hate a litter box lol! ____
I haven’t slept through the night in over a year - the beauty of children!
Ok I have a funny story for you or a gross story or it could be both, BUT I promise it is a true story.
I used to work as a teller at a bank and one day I was helping this couple. As I was processing their transaction the husband says to his wife “Honey, clean out your nose.” and then precedes to reach over and pick his wifes nose. I kid you not!! I thought to myself.. there is no way that just happened so I glanced over at the teller in the next window and she looks at me with big eyes and turns her back to me shaking uncontrollably trying not to laugh. I will never ever forget that day.
I hope that made you laugh and not sick. lol

I have a tendency to walk around the house on my tippy-toes. I’ve done this ever since I was little. The first time I met my in laws, my father in law said that he thought I was walking like that because their floors were dirty.
Eggs taste best when someone else cooks them. Come to think of it, everything tastes better when someone else does the cooking!
I have 3 children (all boys) and 2 bottles of aspirin on hand at all times.
Thanks!

I can whistle like a train. My kids think it is The. Greatest. Skill. Ever.
Shhhh, don’t blow my cover. *wink*
Thanks for the chance to win the Amazon money!
I think horned melon looks really gross, I want to live closer to the beach and I’d even be glad to help clean it up, I think Princess Beard is adorable (I teach preschool out of my home and she is actually quite talented), I hope you’re healed now from that infection, and you are funny even when you don’t try, although your dog is cute.
Oh, and about me, I love getting free stuff but I like finding blogs I want to read even more. I’m now a subscriber!
You know what’s really weird? I have a very long tongue, but I cannot even touch my nose with the tip of my tongue!

I have 7 kids, and have no intention of preventing more or trying for more. Whatever happens, happens! I don’t find that remarkable, but many people think it is interesting. The fact that we had a vasectomy after 5 kids and then had it reversed is interesting.
I find it interesting that I have survived after my last two children! Lots and lots and lots of poop play, eating, and weird smelling. Like the time my baby’s poo smelled like dead fish. It took us nearly a week to figure out that it was because he was crawling around and snacking on the cat food every day, lol. Otherwise he was fully breast fed!
Okay… I was changing my son’s diaper once, and he started making this odd gurgle sound. I kept his legs together up in the air and finished wiping this particularly messy diaper before I finally glanced over to see why he was making that odd sound. Turned out he was peeing, and the position I was aiming him in caused the stream to go directly into his mouth! He was gargling!
I felt so downright horrible, that I need the giftcard to buy him something nice, because five years later I still feel miserably guilty. So… thanks for the chance to win!
[...] been characters in a Flannery O’Connor short story b) They all made an appearance yesterday on my giveaway post’s comments. c) Possibly [...]
I like to read poetry by Eric Victorino.He has a book called Coma Therapy and one of my fav poems is how he used to work for plumbing and he got a boil or something on his his face and his buddy from work popped it with a rusty knife. His writings are just about every day things. he’s really good. thanks

I can touch my nose with my tongue, but I only have 1 piercing (other than ears) - does that make me boring? Let’s see, I was born on Halloween on my Mom’s birthday on an Army Base. Oh, and back to the tongue-thing, one of my daughters has my tongue and one has my hubby’s - isn’t that a weird thing to notice (maybe I have an unnatural obsession with my tongue, but hey, you brought it up.
I’m 23 and I’m afraid of the dark. *Did I just admit that on the interwebs?*
Peach fuzz gives me the willies!
I love eating cold spaghetti for breakfast!

hmmm..I live on a farm in nebraska and can fix fence, drive a tractor and chase cows! I have two little redheads…and yes..the stereotypes are true. Example:
daughter(as we head to the beauty salon): I want her to make my hair soooo beautiful!
Me: Ok. How do you think I should get my hair cut?
daughter: Umm…(pause)…with scissors!
I have a wisdom tooth that needs to be taken out, but I keep postponing it. Not because I’m so afraid of dentists, but because I’m worried about being “out of order” afterwards and the timing never seems right for taking a day or two just for recovery.
I have two children, both through different types of adoption. The first was a traditional adoption and the second was an embryo adoption (he was frozen for 9 years!). If that isn’t interesting enough, my younger son has 2 biological siblings that were created in the same test tube on the same day, but they are 10, 6, and 1 years old right now! That is the definition of fraternal triplets
I make star wars toys for a living, that’s right, and you know what, i totally love my job, I am a geek amongst geeks and I am so proud of it! On the other hand, I am pregnant and if my kid grows up to be a popular person, or some sort of bully I will totally blame myself for being such a nerd.
a) Coffee tastes like ___Throw up! but I do like the smell.____ .
b) Flavor Flav of candle is lemon or pumpkin ________ .
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these _____wait a second! I have to move a refridgerator to win, i have to think about this one.__ .
d) I have ____5___ children and they all act like animals (sometimes)____ .
e) Eggs taste best when ____scrambles with bacon, onion, greenpeppers, mushroom, cheese, maybe I should just have an omlette.___ .
f) I ____can’t think of anything smart for this ___ read(ing) All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you ________nothing, no one believes it anymore._ ).
shhh I got put in handcuffs because I punched a child sex offender (oops he was accussed only at that time)in court and they warned me if I didn’t apologize I would go in for 24 hours haha so I said I’m sorry you are such a pervert you are gonna get your privates chopped off in prison and the judge warned me again and I said I said I was sorry like you asked..put me away and the news will be down your back and he let me go.
I like to eat Mircale whip sandwiches, scrambles eggs must be drenced in ketchup in order to be eaten by me.
I get really nervous when I am in the right lane at a stoplight and I am going straight but the person behind me is blinking right! It drives me nuts! I feel so bad they have to wait b/c of me. I know, issues.
Be prepared to be amazed and completely astounded! You never have seen anything this cool!
Drum roll please . . .
I can pick things up off of the floor with my feet. Like a monkey. A yup.
Ahoy Matey!
Just pulling up anchor to eye yur give-a-thing-away…seas have been stormy and methinks the Amazon is where my old gal (ship) is headed…Winds were blowin’ us off course of course, and my compass fell in and got swallowed, many moons ago…so a hardy “Cheers and safe passage” (email) from yur kind heart would shiver me’timbers with joy!
It melted my heart when my late talker son, said “Mama reeeeeeeed.” this weekend.
I have one son all the time and about 20 from the months of September to May.
That’s right I’m a teacher and I could really use this gift card!
Thanks!
I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to NINE children (and SIX of those are boys… Believe me when I say “Calgon is my best friend!!!” lol). I have been separated from my husband for over a year (14 mo’s), and filed for divorce in April (due to physical & verbal abuse to me & the children, & infidelity- from him). So, I was a SINGLE mom to NINE for some time!! BUT… God has, through some really amazing ways, restored our marriage and family!! We are recently back together, and our marriage is stronger and more beautiful than it ever was before! God is sooooooooooooooooo good!
I am the youngest of 7 children. I have 6 older brothers. Thanks for the giveaway.
a) Coffee tastes like HEAVEN!!
b) Flavor Flav is GROSS!
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these now!
d) I have one child and two dogs.
e) Eggs taste best when they are fried!
f) I LOVE read(ing) All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you everywhere!!
NASA _should_ be sending me a letter any day now to let me know if I made the first cut in this year’s astronaut selection process!
Stupid NASA…I’m _trying_ to be patient, but gee whilikers - just send the darn letter (or package of information telling me where I need to go for my next-step interview - preferably this second option) already!
I don’t like to eat any food with my hands - I have to use utensils. Even with burgers and fries. I know, weird. Thanks for the generous offer!
It sounds like there are sumo squirrels on my roof. Maybe I should get out more.
I hate going barefoot. The only time I am is when I’m in the shower.
I’m into Polka-Dots!!
Thanks for this Great Giveaway
I have 3 children and two hands!

I can read upside down. It started when I was little and had to share books with my sister.
Well, I was going to mention my double-jointed thumbs, but apparently that’s not all that unusual. So, how about this:
My husband and I are exactly two weeks apart in age (to the day)…
Our two children were born exactly two weeks apart… No, really…
One was born to us and the other we adopted.
I doubt this was enough to make you laugh, but I hope it made you smile. Thanks for including me in your drawing.
Amazon huh? You know if I’m being responsible, I would use the Amazon card for Christmas gifts…but if I was being selfish, I’d use it on myself and look for a purse or some books that I’ve put off buying. See, I have 4 boys and everytime I try to go to the store to buy myself something, they whine and complain that I’m taking too long…they want to go home and play outside…or my favorite…can I have that?
I went without liking chocolate for about 5 years, then I suddenly decided it was the best thing in the world. Now that I love it, I can’t have any because of my daughter’s dairy allergy (i’m nursing). it’s a sad world when you can’t have chocolate!
thanks for the giveaway
I have 3 tattoos. And I want one more. When I got the first one, my mom came because I was 17. She debated theology with the artist while he was working. That made me a little nervous!
One time, I was cuddling my cat and reading a blog. I’m rather absent minded. I licked the cat instead of kissing his little head. Cats don’t taste as fine as you might think. Especially elderly shedding cats.
I’m not sure which one of us was more surprised, and I think he was offended.
I’m proud to say I can touch my nose with my tongue, I can even cross my eyes while doing it. I’d even be willing to post a pic if I won. He he, just kidding, kind of. I, however, cannot roll my tongue, but everyone else in the family can. Thanks for the giveaway!

My husband actually shot himself in the foot. That’s weird, right?
I have one child, two ears (thank goodness!) and CAN touch my tongue to my nose! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com
Something interesting, eh? Let’s see….well, …… hmmmm… I must be a horribly boring person! …..no, there must be something….there IS my toes, but do you really want to hear about feet? Feet are kinda gross. Well, that’s all that is coming to mind at the moment, so that’s what you get. My middle toe on each foot is bent completely over so the nail part is actually under my foot. It’s like a “folded” toe of sorts. Thus, I only paint the other four since it just comes right off that toe, anyway and nobody can even see it. There. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!
flava flav…..is the biggest idiot I have ever seen,why on earth they gave him 2 tv shows&now the girls have thier own reality shows ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when will it ever end!Their you go you did it,got me riled up about reality tv:)

I am a SAH homeschool mom. I have 3 kids and 2 dogs.
I’ve never been out of the US (except Tijuana and I don’t count that). I’ve never eaten apple pie or guacamole.
One day, I was in 1st grade at the time, I said my abc’s backwards without any preparation. My mom was so shocked that she made me go slower so she could write them down and check for accuracy. Thirty something years later, I can still do it, and really fast. My fifteen year old daughter spent many hours practicing so she could do it to and be just like her mom.
I can type 114 words a minute and I can spell words backwards in a rapid fashion. Honestly, that is my only talent! Thanks for the giveaway!
When my husband asked me to marry him (27 years ago), he also asked me if I would be willing to make all our bread from scratch. I said yes to both questions, and I have made nearly all our bread ever since. The only thing I buy is hot dog buns on the rare occasions we eat hot dogs. (I make our own hamburger buns.)
Such a generous giveaway! Thanks so much!
I work full time and have to pump 2x a day for the last, gosh, 13 months now… (she’s 16 months old). I pump in a closet at work, with no room to move, sitting next to shelves filled with brochures and my knees hitting the door. How’s that for something unique and bizarre? Oh, and we have an office mouse that likes the closet too. Um, yeah!
Thanks for the opportunity to win the Amazon GC

My daughter and my youngest brother were born 19 hours apart. And yes, I was married when we had her, and no, we are not Catholic.
I drink my coffee black with no sugar, but make up for that ridiculously when I drink tea!! Lots of milk and sugar. There are 30 people in my immediate family (siblings and their spouses and kids,our parents, and me)!
gitrecca (at) gmail (dot) com
both of my sons can not only touch their tongues to their noses but can actually put their tongues inside their noses!!
just a little too eeeewwwwwwww!
Many years ago I entered a karaoke contest and won 2nd place. The song I sang was Patsy Cline’s “Sweet Dreams”.
I have four tattoos, and one of them is misspelled. I am supposed to go get it fixed, but keep putting it off because for some reason, I kind of like it this way.
I can twitch and wiggle my nose like a rabbit. My kids think it’s hilarious. :o)
I’m the biggest nerd in the world. No, seriously. In elementary and middle school, I used to stay inside from recess EVERY DAY to help the librarian shelve books. I really did.
Don’t worry, though. I now have a thriving social life and am a stable, well adjusted 27 year old woman!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Well, I’ve been practicing yoga and got pretty flexible…I can wrap my legs around the back of my head.
I bind books for my work-study job and I actually set type by hand in order to print stuff!
I fell out of my own car, while it was moving and on my 19th birthday.
This is not something I choose to share with people. In fact, it’s downright embarrassing. But I’m a dork and well …
Yes, I was hurt. I had sunglasses on and they shattered on my face giving me a lovely gash in my forehead that required 25 stitches. I looked like Frankenstein, in real life.
Whew, that was painful to tell. *grin*
I’m doing a fill in the blank and then I’ll tell you the interesting reason why:
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these “Witches’ coustumes” (Done by 3 year old plural noun mad libs style) .
This line comes from a song that was popular when I was little by Dire Straits (obviously you know this). Playing “I want my Mtv” was the way mu parents would get me out of bed, or in the car, or out of my room from ages 2-5. I wore out 5 of these tapes in our house because of how often I made my parents play it!
I can wiggle my left ear but for some reason my right ear won’t budge.
My shoulders and collarbone are..well..boney (is that a word?). So when I hunch my shoulders (imagine the hunchback of Notre Dame) I have enough depth (hollow space? Indention?) in my shoulders that I can actually carry water…yeah, i know, impressive, right??
shoreview3(at)hotmail(dot)com
Lame, but I can tye a cherry stem in my mouth with my tongue! Good for a party trick, but that’s about all.
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway.
I think coffee tastes like burnt hot chocolate - yuck!
my secret fantasy is to be in a doris day musical. with doris day. how much fun would that be!
Something interesting about me: I’m obsessed with anything Joss Whedon. That means I love Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Angel, and anything that is “whedonesque”!
Other Stuff:
a) Coffee tastes like a*# without lots of cream and sugar.
b) Flavor Flav is older than me (but makes me feel old).
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color teeveeeeeees.
d) I have no children and two nostrils.
e) Eggs taste best when I’m eating them (as opposed to what, sitting on them?).
f) I am new to read(ing) All Rileyed Up but so far, I’m having fun. (Flattery will get you nowhere but will get me an Amazon gift card, hopefully!).
i have 2 kids and 2 headaches! daisy_collections(at)yahoo(dot)com
I cannot go to sleep unless the sheets and quilt on the bed are perfectly straight across my body. Hubby thinks I am the princess in Princess and the Pea…well, maybe I am.
Hey, I “know” Jody two posts up from reading her blog!
It is impossible to lick your elbow (go ahead and give it a try if you don’t believe me.) Also, I’m the sixth child of thirteen. Thanks for the chance to win.
When I was 2 I was hit by a car. I broke my femur and collarbone and had some minor head injuries. People always say “oooohhhh, that’s what happened to you!” when I tell them the story! LOL!
Well, after we got over the shock, we think its pretty funny that we are expecting a baby in March. Not amusing for the average person, but I am 41 and already have a 15 year-old and a 12 year-old. Gotta love a caboose baby to keep you young!
I have four rooster that think they should live in the house and two kids that would like to live in the chicken coop.
I have been to over 25 countries and I am 19!
It’s not terribly interesting, but I have never been able to cross my eyes. Every time I have tried and ask someone if I’m doing it, I’m only looking up. Pretty sad really.
The smallest two toes on either foot do not bend! My daughter finds this absolutely amusing and always asks me to bend my toes. It’s really not that funny in church.

READ MINE- YOU’LL LAUGH!!!
how bout this for interesting- i have one daughter and a baby on the way. but i’ve been learning the joys of motherhood as i go. recently i was watching someone else’s kids and was putting their little boy down for a nap. i took my eyes off of my 1 year old daughter for 2 minutes and what was she doing when i found her? dipping a bath toy into the toilet and sucking on it. YUCK!! like i said “i’m learning as i go” HAHA!!
I was born with a blue mole on my arm…I’ve had it checked out several times, its just a part of me
I like the egg question. I’m going out for breakfast tomorrow morning with a friend. We always order the same thing. It’s a chili and cheese omlette and it’s beyond yummy. That’s how I like my eggs
I am double jointed to the point that my hip often “pops” and making walking difficult. I mostly used this talent to gross people out when I was a kid.

ROFL - I was having so much fun reading through all the comments, I TOTALLY forgot what I was doing here! Too…many…bloggy…giveaways!
Now I KNOW nothing I could think of to say about myself will be anywhere near as entertaining as some of the things already posted.
We live on a 10 acre farm, and my father-in-law just brought down 3 *deceased* hairless newborn rabbits. Freaked the he!! outta me, so I thought I would share.
If I won, I would buy myself some of my favourite reading: rather obscure sci-fi. Greg Egan, Cory Doctorow, A.A. Attanasio…stuff nobody seems ever to have heard of!
Happy Halloween!
Okay, this is my chance…today, while homeschool reviewing memory stuff with my kids, my daughter runs over to me. My “perfect” moment of feeling like an okay mom turns into using babywipes to get the poop out from between her toes. Dog poop is not fun to wipe out of toes!
I’m a woman that loves to hunt and fish!
Thanks for such a fun giveaway!

Hmmm something interesting about myself is that I have an upside down f-shaped scar on my left thumb it looks kinda weird I got it in the eighth grade after it had gotten infected I used to tell people that i was practically like harry potter except not because the scar is not on my face, I’m not fictional (or am I? hmm hehe), not a wizard (as much as I’d like to be), and there is no Voldemort out to kill me (or is there? I sure hope not).
thank you for the giveaway this would really help me for my christmas shopping
ooh that smiley reminded me of this cute/funny smiley I saw recently that just made me giggle
((o-o)) <— John Lennon smiley hehehe
I just decided to answer them all…because I can…except the third one because I was just stumped and had nothing.
a) Coffee tastes like bitterness, but it wakes me up in the morning.
b) Flavor Flav is SOOOO done.
d) I have one child and two non-hypoallergenic cats that MUST GO!
e) Eggs taste best when somebody else cooks them.
f) I liked read(ing) All Rileyed Up. (Flattery will get you a gift card).
Let’s see, I’m a reality TV junkie. I’m a HUGE Elvis fan even though I was only 4 when he passed. I’m a coffee fanatic. Could drink it all day long. Thanks for the awesome giveaway
Have a safe and Happy Halloween.
Okay, I don’t know you at all and this is the first time I have ever visited your blog. I wish I knew you and what you are like…besides the obvious uniquely clever blog title. I love anything clever…whether it be inventions, solutions, jokes or stories. I don’t find “stupid humor” at all funny…I decided a long time ago that David Letterman gets paid to say and do whatever amuses him because it is certainly not amusing to me. Okay, every once in awhile he has a few clever top tens…but that’s about it.
I hope you enjoy reading all of your comments.
I am the oldest of 7 children - 6 girls and 1 boy! And we were all homeschooled.
Oh, and my youngest sister is less than 2 years older than my oldest daughter, LOL! Got that?
I have three children through adoption- international and domestic. I’m a hygienist that obsessively crunches ice. And I’ve worked as a costumed 1st-person historical interpreter.
At the age of 10, I obtained my amateur radio license.
during labor i turn into a crazy comedian, but everyone was afraid to laugh because they weren’t sure if i was trying to be funny or not.
i can wiggle my ears, i figured it out in 1st grade when i read a book about a girl who wiggled her ears when she got nervous
Eggs taste best when scrambled
Sorry bu Flavor Flav is a bumbling idiot, although probably a very rich one indeed
Eeeew, coffee tastes like poop. I hate coffee, nothing can make it sweet enough for me to drink! I like chai and hot cocoa. Oooh, that makes me want some cocoa! I’m off to make some, the perfect bedtime snack!
I am currently wearing an eyepatch, and it’s not for Halloween (I have an eye injury). But I’m glad it’s the right week for it, I look less like a freak!
I have one daughter, one dog and I can ride a unicycle! Just ear piercings right now and no tattoos so far!
I don’t know what you might find interesting about me, so here are a few things about me in general: I’m a math student, I like to knit, I play a flute in the community band, and I add jam and mustard to my grilled cheese sandwiches.
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs.
Thanks, now that song will be stuck in my head. Good thing I like it.
I am the fourth of six kids and my husband is also the fourth of six kids. However, I do not plan on having six kids though.
We got our license to be a foster family in the mail today
I ALWAYS Read All Rileyed Up. Flattery will get me the gift certificate!
I am missing teeth and have extra bones in my feet.

I’m afraid of squirrels.
Eggs taste best over-easy mixed with grits and sopped up with toast!
I have an extra bone in each of my feet. It makes me very very flat-footed and prone to sore feet and backaches. I felt very important when I found this out.
I just got back from a year in the UK to get my masters, and now i’m TOTALLY broke! It was SOOOO worth it tho!

Thanks!
A friend wanted to have one of my baby hamsters so I let her. She called me a while later and said she hadn’t checked him in a while and apparently his leg got caught on the wire cage (aquariums are the best housing units) and was broken. I actually took him in to have his leg amputated. He seemed like he wanted to live. I kept him after that and we are no longer friends.

For real, not in that joking, “I’m pale” kind of way ;D
I’m double jointed in almost all my joints… I’ve traveled all over the us and part of the world just because I could…. Moved to hawaii because it was there… Dropped out of College in marine biology BUT somehow ended up with a job helping rehab marine animals AND was part of a once in a life time medical proceduce on a dolphin with cancer… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg… wiicked13 [at] yahoo [dot] com
I don’t like eggs.
txhottie_86 at yahoo dot com
I am scared of monkeys (creepy flying ones from Wizard of oz) and Clowns (Stephen King’s It).
When I was a kid an older lady would always give us kids those orange circus peanuts. I detest those things but didn’t want to hurt her feelings so I choked it down. To this day when I see them in the store I want to gag.
I like mixing peanut butter in my vanilla ice cream and kind of whipping them together.
Thanks for the contest!
Something interesting….I was born without toenails! (I don’t think that is very common, is it??) Oh, they grew in by the way! (:
Something interesting about me, hmmmm. How about I’m the oldest of seven children, Great giveaway!
sweetanlo92292(at)yahoo(dot)com
We have a great dane and he stinks right now…which is very noticeable due to his enormousness.
Here’s a funny story. READ ME!! A year ago while I was walking into church with my nice Sunday clothes on, I gave my 8-month old nephew a ride on my shoulders. Right as we got in he puked all over my head and it dripped down onto my nice suit. Everyone looked at me and laughed. I, on the other hand, was totally disgusted and started gagging from the smell. Now I’m a father and can handle the baby puke a little better.
oh man, some people here are REALLY trying hard to win with their essay-long comments! hmm…something interesting about me is i can twiddle my toes. you know, just like you do with fingers, over and over again. it’s pretty gross. thanks for the giveaway!
Okay…not so much funny talents…i can sing. You can visit my band’s site, http://www.fusionworshipband.com When I was young, I was in a Burger King commercial and laughed uncontrollably the whole time. Thanks for the giveaway.

I have three crazy dogs and a six month old daughter. The combination doesn’t allow me to either sleep or stop cleaning.
People spit at me on a regular basis at my job. Not on purpose (usually). I’m a Speech Pathologist. I have protective “eye wear” (aka a snorkeling mask) that I am supposed to wear, but rarely do.
coffee taste like morning air.
I have an unnatural fear of olives.. yeah, weird, I know it. And Flava Flav is flava-licious. LOL!!
What a great giveaway! Love, love, love amazon.com! I have a long wish list. LOL!
My fingers and thumbs are double-jointed. I guess that’s what it’s called. I do know that I’ve been grossing people out for 50 years. It does look scarier as my hands grow more wrinkled. LOL!
Thanks!
I have a scar shaped like a Nike swoosh.
I’m a horror movie fan. I love to watch all kinds …..except one. I am absolutely terrified of Freddy Krueger and I cannot watch any of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I was so scared of him when I was younger that I’d only fall asleep from exhaustion.
I played basketball in a small town in high school. One time we were lined up waiting to rebound the other team’s foul shot. The girl faked and I started to go into the key. It was a big game and I didn’t want my coach to be mad, so I figured if I just sort of leaned into the key the girl would shoot the ball before I lost my balance. But no. Instead, I just slowly fell into the key and landed on my hands while my entire hometown watched (and filmed, I should add). I have never been able to live this down, but it always makes me smile. Hope you did too!
I gave birth to a son who can touch his elbow with his tongue. They say it’s not possible to do but he can totally do it. Go ahead, you know you want to try it!
let’s see - i found out i was having twins 2 days after i told my hubby “i’m so glad we’re never going to have twins.”
today my girls ran around in diapers and mittens…think we positively reinforced mittens too much the few cold days we’ve had? it was 70.
I totally giggled at the name of your blog, I have a friend whose dd is Riley & she’s a very spirited child (I adore her, seriously, on the days my friend is pulling her hair out I’m laughing & telling her how much I love Riley’s creativity & spirit LOL)!
Something about me? Hmmm . . . I LOVE hanging laundry on the clothesline, get GIDDY about it, how weird is that?!?! LOL.
I have more than eleven cats, does that count? Each one is named and we can tell them apart (of course!) I tend to rename or nickname them though. They are Misses (Momma), Ornery (Momma), Sketti (Momma lol), Mister (mister-Kitty), Possum (Posse), Buttfrack (Fracky), Favorite (Paybee), Teeny (Sweet Teeny), Tiny (Yubby), Princess (Pretty Pretty Princess), Gandolf (dolfy) and Fluffy (Fluffy-Nutty). Those are only some of the names I call them
(Check out my giveaways for $5 Amazon gc, $5 DiNG gc, $20 Cozy Moments gc AND a sports jersey!)
Wow, this is so generous of you! =) Hmmm… I can’t really think of anything too interesting about me… I think I have slight OCD or tourettes or something, because I have good numbers (2,4,5,8,9 and 10) and bad numbers (3,6,12 and 13). Sometimes before I go to sleep it makes me feel better if the time ‘adds up’ to a good number…yeah, I’m very weird!
Anyhoo, thanks for this awesome giveaway and I hope you have a great day!

I CAN touch my tongue to my nose. I’ve read over 170 books this year. I once licked a slug (hey, it was the 6th grade camp relay race, our team was in the lead, but the finish was to lick a slug, no one else would do it, the other team was closing in, so I went ahead and did it…and it was gross!)
Eggs are best when cooked eggs-in-a-basket style!

I ate ants up until I was seven years old. I don’t know if that falls in the unusal catagory or just plain strange.
My daughter said Eggs taste best when 2 pieces of toast (with butter spread both sides)
I can only roll my tongue to the right. I try and try but cannot get it to roll to the left.
I have two daughters. One is 27 and my baby is 8. I also am grandma to 2 of the cutest little boys in the world!
Eggs taste best when they are baseted

flavor flav is…. so outdated
I love photography and am thinking about photo ops all the time.Yesterday I took my son to the park at about 4 and as we were walking up (the sun was facing us) I notice a mom changing her baby’s diaper. No big deal, until all the sudden I see a gleaming (in the sun) stream shoot over to the right! I guess she didn’t get the diaper on fast enough and with the cool breeze, he just let it go! All I could think was “I wish I had my camera!”. But then I realized that the lady might not have been too happy about me snapping pictures of her son’s pee. Oh well
Coffee always smells better than it tastes.
I have 2 kids, 2 chickens, and 2 dogs.
My hair was pink in college.
I love spinach.
I have 2.5 kids and 2 eyes.
My mom went into labor with me during an ultrasound to determine when I would be born. I have always had a mind of my own!
I don’t speed anymore because if I get stopped I’d have to show my license with the picture of me bald. I had to get my license renewed during my chemotherapy treatments for cervical cancer. My hair has grown back and I could go get another picture made but then I’d speed again.
This is a great one! Thanks for the chance to win
I love to go for a walk really early in the morning!
I am currently reading 5 books, I am scared of worms (don’t know why) and when I was little I came home from church and my brother had hung all of my barbies from nooses with ketchup dripping from them - from my bedroom ceiling.
My elbows hyper-extend and I always got yelled at when I took dance because my arms didn’t look “straight”.
I actually like the smell of skunk! I know I am weird, my hubby tells me all the time!
Happy Halloween!!
Let’s see … something interesting about myself … my husband and I are both military brats. We met in high school in Germany. I turned him down when he asked me out! He’s in the Air Force now and we’re about to have a big life change. He’s deploying to Afghanistan for a year. We currently live in NM, but I’m moving to MD with the kids to stay with my mom/step dad while he’s gone…major upheaval! But I don’t want to do the single parent thing for a year. We have a 5 yr old daughter who has Down syndrome, and an 8 month old son who refuses to leave my side. I’m a die hard Red Sox fan; and I’ve converted my hubby who is/was a Dodger fan
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
I play the flute in a local community band, I love to read, and I have a terrible cold right now. Thank goodness germs can’t pass through the computer, right?
I can grab my pinkie w/ the same had it’s on (and slowly one finger at a time). Sounds easy till you try it;)
I can’t think of anything really interesting- I had mono when I was a teenager. Not very exciting, I know. But it’s the only thing I can think of.
Spooky story… I bought a bag of Twix to hand out on Halloween. But by the time little trick-or-treaters arrived, they were nowhere to be found. Strangely the wrappers were left behind…
I have a bent pinky. (It’s genetic, my Dad has it too!) And eggs taste best with green peppers.
Hmm the word “Neko” means cat in japanese, yes, random
I have four kids ages 5 and under!!
and I live in a 2 bedroom trailer
and I have a cat
and I am left handed
and I hate being cold
and my husband loves Amazon.com (so do I)

I am a Socio-cultural Historian of early modern Britain. Seriously.
I like your mad libs so I thought I’d do them too!
a) Coffee tastes like __an “o” in a cup_____ .
b) Flavor Flav is __one cracked out dude______ .
c) We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these ___color TVs____ .
d) I have __no_____ children and two ___oh wait, make that three cats____ .

My husband and I eloped. To Las Vegas.
I hate chicken with bones in it. No KFC for me (unless it’s the boneless wings…!)
I like your suggestions. I like eggs covered in cheese and grits with grape jelly. Yummy breakfast. Thanks for the giveaway. semtaylor(at)yahoo(dot)com
I can’t curl my tongue. Everyone else can!
I am double jointed in both my thumbs and in my tongue. It causes quite a sensation at parties!
My ears do not hang low
They don’t wobble to and fro
I cannot tie them in a know
I cannot tie them in a bow
I can’t throw them over my shoulder like a Continental soldier
My ears do not hang low
But they do look rather lovely with the earrings my husband gave me for Christmas last year.
I’ll be stumbling this too!
I can stick my whole fist in my mouth
I can turn my tongue over, something I was surprised to discover that most people apparently cannot do
Something unique about me - I can turn my tongue upside down one way and then the other.
i secretly watched I love New York. she reminded me of an old co-worker. weeks later another co-worker of ours told me she thought New York was the long-lost sister of XXXX. gotta love it!
Thanks!
The doctor who performed my emergency c-section was named “Dr. Cutting.”
I once had a crazy old landlady named “Dottie.”
A friend was cooking us dinner and he burned the bread. His name was “Char.”
And finally, …
One time we were checking out babies in the maternity ward and my friend pointed to one that said she looked like a cheese log (because of the way the baby was wrapped, not because she was rolled in nuts). Then we looked at her name and it was… BRIE!
So, you may find this funny and you may not… I teach theatre at a college in Colorado. I was discussing in one of my acting classes a choice that Blanche DuBois (of Streetcar Named Desire) might make in the play and a girl in the circle said “Are you talking about Golden Girls?”. A young man, across the circle, said with as much indignation as he could muster “That’s Blanche Devereaux!” My students might not know contemperoray classic theatre, but they know their eighties television programs!
I have two boys they are 2 and 10. With my 10 year old he was a typical little boy always doing boy things. But boy this time around my 2 year gets to see all the things his big brother does and let me tell you it makes life interesting. He is only 2 but he climbs trees. he goes to the neighbors with his brother and rides his scooter on the ramps and tries to do tricks. The funniest thing is he saw his brother grabon to the bottom of the automatic garage door as it was going up and ride it so now if he comes out with you when you open the garage up he does the same thing. It is something else to watch him hang on all the way to the top. It scares me to death and I do my best to keep him safe but it sure does make things around here interesting.
Oh, dear, I am very boring…well my family is descended right from Vikings
I am having a terrible day! KIDNEY STONES! How terrible is that? I feel miserable and just pray they go away soon.
Usually I feel like I’m not unusual at all… so how about my 2 favorite lame jokes ever?
Why do seagulls fly over the ocean?
Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be bay-gulls (say it out loud)
Why do giraffes have such long necks?
Because their feet stink! (also applies to my brother!)
I hope to adopt two kids, and hope at least one is a little person. Someday….until then a girl can dream right?!
I have 3yo identical twin girls!!!

I can mix flavors while eating, like Joey in Friends. Fries with ice cream - no problem!
And I couldn’t help reading the comment just above mine. The doctor who gave me my epidural was aptly named Dr. Needleman! How’s that for coincidence?!

I speak pig latin! And I have one daughter, I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I love Starbucks and books.
I have a red-headed daughter with blue eyes - both my husband and I have reddish-brown hair (my husband’s more red than mine) and hazel eyes! Where’d the blue come from?
I remember things alphabetically in my mind, kind of like a file cabinet. So if someone asks me the name of something, even if I cannot remember, I can usually come up with the first letter.
I had my first child in the front seat of my neighbor’s car at a fire station.
Eggs taste best when fried–crispy on the edges, just a touch of runny in the middle.
I have 2 freckles on my neck that look like a vampire bite. lol
Coffee tastes like mud. I have never aquired a taste for it. Thanks!
Eggs taste best when you put salsa on them.
Eggs taste best when they are eaten hot scrambled.
I’m sitting here with cotton candy stickyness on my skirt ’cause I took the children to a harvest party tonight and I rushed home to enter more bloggy giveaways.
I have 10 chilren but I only took 7 to the party. My husband took the other three to a movie at our pastor’s brother’s house.

eggs taste best by itself, anything added make it worse
Flavor Flav is too darn old and need to give up wearing Jerseys. I mean really, he is like 100
Something interesting…I carried a base drum in marchng band in highschool…might not seem interesting until you know that I was about a foot to a foot and a half shorter than anyone else in the drum line! Thanks for the give a way!
I got my haircut today by a lady whose last name is Butcher. Funny thing though she never cuts my hair short enough!! This is no joke!
This would be awesome to have…I can twist my tongue in weird ways.
Thanks,

I’m a twin!
I am interested in starting my own blog, but don’t have a clue where to start. Wondering if there is a blogging for dummies book.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
Although it isn’t weird to me, it is considered unusual: I am one of 13 children. All of us share the same two parents who have been married for 30 years. Nine of my siblings are brothers. I love coming from a large family!
I am embarrassed to admit that I like the smell of Axe body sprays. And I am not a teenager
I’m tired. I have a cold. I was out all day with three kids, only one bathroom break for myself, and a half of a meal. I’m home and resting, but it’s now 13 minutes until midnight. I should be sleeping, for sure. Or at least drinking a tall glass of water. But instead, I sit here entering bloggy giveaway contests, because I don’t want to miss out on any of them. And they’re so dang fun! I’m really going to regret it in the morning.
Unless I win that $50, that is.
I will tell you my new favorite Halloween joke. What do you call a bee in a ghost costume?
A BooBee!
Hope I made you crack a smile!
I have 3 children and two tattoos . . . that’s 3 monkeys, a butterfly, and one cherub.
Thanks for the fun (and generous) giveaway!!

Flavor Flav is scary but I can’t look away.
Eggs taste best when fried.
I always have to have a book to read. If I run out, I will read my 12 yr old son’s books
I love to have conversations with people while they are talking in their sleep. You can find out so much about a person that way. LOL
Thanks!
i like to put chocolate syrup in my peanut butter sandwich. yummy!!!!!!!!!!
I dressed up as a Library Imp for Halloween. (I work in a library.) Horns and all. I’m not sure why everyone kept saying it was my real personality coming out. :0)
I can write backwards (i.e. mirror image).
I have never met anyone else with my first name, although I do know that they exist! Thanks for the giveaway!
eggs are the best when my husband makes me an omlette! I would love to win! Thanks! =)
