Celebrate Valentine's Day in an Odd Way

We were tagged for the 5 Odd Things Meme by Becky. We in turn tag Anne-Marie cuz she's writing about some good eats and has some awesome recommendations for books and recipes the entire family can enjoy together.

5 Odd Things About Devra

1. My first crush was Chuck Scarborough, anchor for NewsCenter4, New York. (I was 6 years old, people. So don't give me too much grief!)

2. Hi, my name is Devra and I am addicted to flannel pajamas. I cruise Ebay late at night jonesing for jammies.

3. I own original seats from Mile High Stadium so our family can watch the Denver Broncos the right way and in Orange and Blue style.

4. While I am somewhat of a gourmet, I cannot boil an egg. I've tried, I can't. If you ever meet my husband give the guy a deviled egg. He loves them, yet I cannot make them. He's a good man, he deserves a good egg.

5. Technically I am one inch above the height requirement to sit safely in the front seat of a car, let alone drive one. If it is true that people shrink as they get older, I may have to move into a booster seat in a few years.


5 Odd Things About Aviva

1. No one in my house will load the dishwasher because they know I will unload and reload according to my own standard.

2. My mother, my daughters and Devra have banned me from wearing beige which is a color I am inextricably drawn to. They tell me it washes me out, but I don't believe them. (Psst, if you have anything beige, please send it to me, they raided my closet and took it all away!)

3. I hate shopping. I specifically hate shopping for clothing. This is why I am doubly pissed about my closet being raided.

4. If I am not wearing my contacts or glasses, I cannot see the big E on the eye chart without bumping my nose on the wall

5. I try to find multiple of five in everything. I even take an extra step on my landing so that I have 15 steps to get upstairs - OK, now that's REALLY ODD.

I don't do eggs well either. But my husband does.

I hate shopping too and can't see much without my glasses. Shopping without my glasses? Well, that's just mean.

I hate shopping too! Especially shopping for clothing.

And Devra, you will never be too short to drive. You can always get one of those foot-pedal extenders like that little people family does on tv. My grandmother used one in her volkswagon bug. I hated driving that thing with the foot pedal extender on the clutch!

Hey I would love the extenders, but the problem is how can my husband then drive our car? He is 6'1".

Tell your husband to get his own car. One that he can cook eggs in ...
