"TAG! I'm IT."

You're supposed to list 6 Quirks about yourself. So few! Posted by Chelise. (Eric’s next!)

1. I quite like the smell of SKUNKS as your car passes periodically through the aroma on the highway. I think this strange liking began after I returned from Chile. I didn’t smell that smell at all for almost 2 years down there. And when I returned to our wonderful country and the occasional gift of that reaky smell on the road, it gave me a nostalgic sense of my childhood and taking trips in the family suburban. They say smell carries memories. Now I soak in the stinky stench happily.

2. I thrive on DAYDREAMS. I don’t think I would have survived years and years of working in boring places, or LONG distance running if it weren’t for the saving grace of a good daydream.

3. If I were stranded on an ISLAND and could only take 3 things (besides my husband and family): my comforter, my running shoes, and avocado or green olives.

4. I love the feeling of fresh shaved legs in clean cotton sheets.

5. I love seeing OLD PEOPLE EXERCISING. It makes me automatically smile inside and out. I teach Yoga on Wednesday mornings and without fail, Tomiko Yamamoto, an 80 year old woman, is always in the front row struggling through each stretch. You GO, Girl!! A couple days ago, I saw an old man shuffling along enjoying a brisk walk along the beach. Watch for these guys and cheer them on! Still going Strong!

6. I can’t sleep with SOCKS on.

I must sheepishly admit that I also enjoy the occasional stench of skunk whild driving down the highway. Maybe it's a Christensen thing...who knows. You're a hoot!

ERIC, ERIC, ERIC, ERIC (repeat this in your mind...in a chant-like fashion). It's about time for Eric's quirks to be exploited.
