Thanks, Keri, I’ve been dreading this since Angelle started it.

A. List 6 facts/habits/confessions about yourself.

B. At the end of the post, tag 6 people and post their names, then go to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and pointing them your blog.

1. I absolutely hate touching newspaper. It makes me cringe, like nails on a blackboard cringe. I’m not sure if its the newspaper itself or how dry it makes my hands but I can’t stand it.

2. Because of Sean’s overnight work schedule and my deviated septum, Sean and I have slept in the same bed 3 times over the past 3 months. It kinda sucks…

3. My therapist suggested I take anti-depressants in May when she diagnosed me with PTSD from losing a job 2 years ago. I’ve been trying to quit them since July. Every few days I experience withdrawal symptoms like my whole body twitching and thats when I end up taking another pill (I think I’m up to 4 or 5 days between pills). The feeling is similar to having really low blood sugar. It really sucks because my first reaction to the feeling is that I need to eat, have some sugar or caffeine .. but it doesnt fix the feeling .. until I realize its probably the withdrawal. Within an hour or 2 of taking a pill I feel fine. But I think this is a contributing factor to my weight gain this summer.

4. I’ve gained 15 lbs in the past 14 months, and I hate it, but I’m lazy and should pick my ass up and go to the gym. Instead, I’m trying to come up with 6 confessional things.

5. I hate condiments. No mustard, no mayo, no ketchup .. yuck! It drives Sean nuts and he’s even tried to sneak mustard and pickles into my sandwiches. (yeah I hate pickles too)

6. Sean and I bought an entire litter of 4 dachshund puppies this year. Within a month we realized we had made a big mistake and tried for find new homes for 2 of the puppies. Our neighbors and their friends offered to take them. We ended up taking 1 back because he wasn’t happy in his new house (now he’s very happy at my parents). But to this day I worry and feel guilty about the fourth one, Newton. The last I heard about him was during this summer. He was still having potty training issues and they were keeping him outside during the day. When I heard that I offered to take him back that night, I even told Sean to follow him home and take him. But the guy said his kids are very attached to him. It makes my heart break to think about it and even last week I was sobbing about it .. I’m tearing up at this moment. Its probably my greatest regret of my life.

Okay .. most of the blogs that I read regularly have already been tagged .. but Liz, Arielle and Christina .. you’re up!
