Are we all weird?

Okay, in my last post I blogged about how totally AWESOME it is that
God created
EACH one of us
totally unique, one of a kind, a masterpiece!

But,
SERIOUSLY?


Look at yourself....

I mean
reeaaaaalllly look!

Don't you have a few weird things that make you-
YOU?

Of course...

but this is not about YOU,

this is about ME!


Here are some weird things about me that make me
"totally unique"
"One of a kind"
"A Masterpiece"

(ha ha!)

I have a little "beauty mark" on the right side of my mouth.

My son (he was about 7) asked me why I had that little beauty mark there.
I told him (of course what my parents told me) that it meant that I was a good kisser.
He then asked me why he had a beauty mark on his "peeps".
(that is what we call his private part)

cricket....cricket...


I also had an operation on my left 4th toe.
There was this bone growing out of my toe and it hurt my toe when I wore shoes,
so in the 5th grade I had it "filed" down.

It is one weird looking toe...
do not ever ask me to show it to you.



I had a belly piercing that I had taken out my 6th month of my first pregnancy.
It looked wrong-
A big old belly with a belly ring sticking out of it?
Very classy, ohhhh yes.



My left thigh has a scar about an inch long on it.
When I was about 6 or 7,
I was riding my bike and as I turned a corner,

I hit the white brick wall that jumped out in front of me....

the corner cut my leg and there was blood EVERYWHERE.
I went home and my dad put Bactine on it then some Neosporn and
finally a large bandage.

I like having that scar.
It makes me feel tough.



I played the violin through High School and was the Concert Mistress.

I have 4 root canals. 4!

My ring fingers are double jointed.

My favorite food is candy,
more specifically,
HOT TAMALES!


When I "reeeallllly" laugh,
I tend to throw my head back (not intentionally)
and I've actually hit it against the wall or separators at restaurants
while laughing hysterically.
My friend Brad has lovingly given me the name
"Cruella"
(as in Cruella De'ville in 101 Dalmations)
because that used to happen so much when we went out w/friends.



So there.

I've told you WAY too much about how God has
made ME totally unique...
one of a kind...
a Masterpiece~

now it's your turn!


10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

  1. OK, I know you and I'm still laughing out loud!! And how come you thought of me when you came up with the title?? I am not weird...at least in my own mind!

    But this is about YOU!

    First - knew about the beauty mark. Didn't know it meant you were a good kisser. Your son's "beauty mark" - I'm sure he appreciated you sharing this fact in blogland!! Even the crickets are silent on this one - just sayin'

    Second - I cannot believe that in our whole writing weekend you did NOT show me this toe!! Now, I HAVE to see it...it haunts me.

    Third - No, belly piercing and pregnancy do not go well together. Especially with that lovely brown line we get - what is THAT all about?!

    Fourth - Totally get this one. Remember how I felt about my sprained finger from playing basketball, and my swollen hand from playing handball? Yeah, I like the tough look too...

    The last things -
    Knew about the concert mistress - but just recently! I think this is one of the most fascinating unknown facts about you...so far...I'm still waiting for more.
    4 root canals - do you just have bad teeth (Hot Tamales) or do you just love spending $$$ getting them fixed?
    Wow - double-jointed. Impressive.
    Also, just recently discovered the Hot Tamale addiction...so sad.

    And you are REALLY gonna regret revealing the "Cruella" thing - that is never going to die!

    BUT...on a final note. YOU are a wonderfully unique person - a beautiful woman of God - my lovely, and weird, and special friend. You are a Masterpiece - and the Master knew exactly what He was doing when He made you - just the way you are!!

    Love you so - GOD BLESS!

  2. Sharon..you did not share any one or two weird things (that I don't already know, ha ha) about you!

  3. OK, since I see that you're still determined to waste time, I'll share a few - OK, more than a few, I'll give you 10 (look at it this way - you can use up more time reading them):

    Hmmm...

    You're probably going to regret this -

    Both of my kids were born by C-section (not sure if you knew that or not).

    I once changed my cabin assignment at a church snow camp in junior high, without telling my counselor - we spent hours praying for the "missing girl in the snow" - until we found out it was me.

    I had three car accidents by the time I was 21.

    I still believe in Santa Claus.

    I had a wart removed from the bottom of my foot when I was 6. (Mmmm, yummy...where are those Hot Tamales now?)

    I have a phobia about barfing.

    I used to have nosebleeds as a kid ALL the time - had to have my nose cauterized like three times.

    I had a cyst removed from the base of my tailbone - yes, by cracky, I did...

    Three things that I hated to eat as a kid, and I still refuse to eat now - Lima beans, Brussels sprouts, and Creamed Corn (maybe it's the barf thing - where ARE those Hot Tamales...)

    I nursed both of my kids until after the age of 2 years old. I finally weaned them when they started asking for Mr. Booby in public.

    There you go - a few, 10, of my random weird things. I've got a million of them.

    LOVE YOU!

  4. Lol! I was laughing so hard! I think I've had three root canals one more to catch up to you. I've always wanted to pierce my belly button but haven't and maybe I will. I had three tattoos removed by lazor which was very painful, a butterfly on my ankle, a rose on my back and a heart on my middle finger. Must I go on? My two middle fingers twist to the side.......weird???? Yes, I love your sharing God definitely created us uniquely different!

    Too funny!

    Lov ya!
