6 Things Nobody Would Know About Me...

I have been tagged by Elisa, so I will try doing this for once, I don't usually do them.

1)I don't like to wear jewelery other than my wedding ring and the occasional pair of earrings. It makes me feel tacky for some reason, whether it is or not.

2)I love to recycle. This one is nerdy but I feel really happy when I do it. If I am out and need to throw away something recyclable, I will bring it home to recycle it instead of throwing it in the garbage. So if you ever see me put garbage in my purse or car, that is why I do it.

3)I can't eat cottage cheese. The texture of it makes me gag.

4)I don't deal with stress very well and often do deep breathing to relax enough to handle situations.

5)I love to paint. Sometimes to relieve stress I buy canvas and paint. My paintings aren't very good and I only show them to Jon, but it is very therapeutic and is a great creative outlet.

6)I secretly wish I could wear ballet flats all year round. I wear them in the cold right up until it snows and it is impossible to wear them. I love just being able to slip them on - no zippers or laces, it's the best.

This was so fun to read! I learned a lot of things that I never knew about you before. I had absolutely no clue that you love to paint! What kinds of things do you paint?

I mostly paint nature scenes. Flowers, trees and grass, that kind of thing.

Nice Maria! I love to hear the things that don't get talked about much, probably why they are quirks! I thought you would put the one about when you are mad you clean. I remember that for some reason...
