Okay, I've been tagged. I've had trouble thinking of 7 weird things about myself. I'm a pretty normal, boring person. I even asked my wonderful hubby to name something weird about me, and he wisely answered that he couldn't think of anything. So, here goes...
1) I am an exercise fanatic. I sometimes think I am addicted to it...I truly love the adrenaline rush I get from it. I work out at least 5 days a week and have for almost 2 years, and I can't think of a week during those 2 years that I didn't get my 5 days in. I used to hate it and would come up with many excuses not to go. Now, it makes me feel energized, awake, and happy. Even when we were in Sea World last year, I was so pleasantly surprised to see the hotel had a decent workout facility. And, yes, I actually worked out while on vacation because I couldn't stand it. Once last year, my kids had a stomach bug. They recovered, but I could feel it coming on. I went to the gym anyways. I somehow made it through my workout before going home and vomiting. I worked out twice last week at 5:45 a.m. because I had busy days, and it was the only time I could go. I love it.
2) I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day. Breakfast - Weight Control Cinnamon Oatmeal; Lunch - Turkey Sandwich on Whole Grain Bread with Baked Lays and a glass of Iced Tea. Same thing; everyday. Sometimes I meet friends out for lunch, and if it's somewhere like McDonald's, I always eat before I go because I would honestly rather eat my turkey sandwich for lunch than McDonald's. Every Saturday morning, Brian makes waffles or pancakes for the girls and himself. I happily eat my oatmeal. I am very predictable.
3) I have watched Oprah almost everyday since she began her national show in 1986. I can remember coming home from middle school and turning the TV on everyday to watch her. Luckily, these days we have DVR, so I can watch it at night and breeze through those commercials. I don't always agree with everything she says or does, but I usually find the topics of her shows very interesting. I find her to be an amazing woman who has overcome many obstacles to become the influential woman she is today.
4) I read the obituaries daily. I have done this for as long as I can remember. I see children the ages of my children, moms the same age as me, men and women the same ages as my parents. I have learned of the deaths of former classmates, teachers, neighbors through the obituaries. Some people think it's strange or morbid, but it always makes me so thankful for the many blessings in my life. The two strangest ones I've seen was a man in his 20s who had died from an infected ingrown toenail. The other was a lady who had died and the second line read that she loved to shop at Walmart. That line will definitely NOT be in my obituary.
5) I can not stand unpainted toenails. It drives me crazy. My toenails always have paint on them. Granted, in the winter, it is sometimes chipped paint, but I really do not like to look at my toes without polish. I remember being big and pregnant and painting them, even though I couldn't see them.
6) I have a terrible fear of bees/wasps. People always say not to bother them, and they'll leave you alone. Well, they don't leave me alone. They fly after and chase me. I still run from them. I dread when summer gets here, and I hear them buzzing around.
7) I am a coupon clipper. I love them. Every Sunday, I spend a few minutes clipping them. I have a coupon organizer and place them by category. I purposely avoid Walmart because they don't like my coupons. Every thing has to match up EXACTLY with the coupon and can not be expired. For example, I once had a coupon for Centrum Silver...I bought regular Centrum; they wouldn't take it. This is why I love Target. I actually used a coupon from 2006 the other day...they don't care. If it says you must buy 2 of an item, I just buy one because I don't need two...they don't care. Emma took Tylenol Sinus medication out of my buggie the other day; I still used my $1 off coupon (not knowing she had taken the medicine out - I wasn't charged for the medication though, which is how I know she took it out)...they don't care. I love Target.
So, that's my list...maybe I'm more odd than I thought!

OK, I went and bought the oatmeal this morning. I am in a breakfast rut and you inspired me!
Wow, you have some very odd habits that I would have never imagined.
Love it!
I used to eat the same thing for lunch every day of the work week (actually since I was in elementary school - lunch meat sandwich, chips, fruit, dessert). My best friend from work always laughed at me because I ate it every day. Beginning in 2008, I have changed - I have not had a lunch meat sandwich yet! Woo Hoo.
It's fun reading others "weird" stuff, then you don't feel weird because you are similar. I have a few on your list that are mine too. You have to guess.
