A few weeks ago i was tagged by my friend Trish to list 6 quarks about myself. I really wanted to do it,but i was about to post a bunch of awesome zoo pictures, so I waited. But then i got tagged by a different friend Tawnya for the same thing. So here goes, one for me and one for Joe. Our quarks that make us sooo different.
Our 6 Quarks:
1. For some reason, I get SUPER hyper right before bed time. I always have. I can remember when i was little, running down the hallway singing at the top of my lungs and then jumping on my parents bed and licking my mom's face. Ya, hyper may be an understatement. I have no idea why I get so wiggly and silly and crazy right before bed time, but i just do. I really cannot help it-I've tried. It takes me at least an hour to fall asleep-bare minimum. Joe is just the opposite. If I wasn't there to bug him to almost death, he could crawl into bed and be asleep in less than five minutes. Every night is a battle...and I always win.
2. Joe is a planner. Every night as he is brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed he plans out his next day. What time he will wake up, what he wants to accomplish, and everything in between. If he has an open window of time in his planning, he fills it. Even on Saturdays! He hates waking up and not knowing what he is going to do for the day. I, however, hate being scheduled. It leaves no room for spontaneity. Sure I have things that I'd like to get done, but without the pressure of a deadline. There is nothing I love more than the complete and total freedom of an open schedule.
3. When I am meeting new people, and even with friends, I always feel like I have to watch what I say so that I don't offend people. It started in junior high when I told someone that "i used to be so nerdy with my glasses", and my friend with glasses really had her feelings hurt. I felt so bad, and I have always tried not to do that ever again. Joe has an interesting sense of humor sometimes, where he says rude things to people and tries to play it off as sarcasm. For example, Joe used to tell his/my family that he really didn't mind when their kids touched their nasty germy hands all over his stuff. But then he doesn't laugh it off after, so as to give the recipient the reassurance that he was only joking. The truth is, he really means what he is saying, but assumes that everyone will just think he's joking. It drives my crazy. If he ever does this to anyone, you have my permission to tell him that he is a jerk.

nice i like to know that you get really hyper before bed to i thought it was just me. (you probably have not deen me do this. because i don't like to be hyper in front of family.)
I also get hyper before bed and I too LOVE the openness of no scheduling. Once I have things scheduled I get bogged down and I seem to be less likely to get things done. Oxymoron, I know. And once again...same person!!!
Isn't it so funny how people are so different. I remember thinking Nick and I had a fewdifferences, but I found out we have a lot!! IT makes things fun!
Thats funny. I remember when we were roomies and we always goofed off before bed. I remember you staying in me and Moke's room FOREVER, just wanting to talk or whatever...finally we had to tell you to go to bed! haha...that was so much fun.
didn't we have to throw you outside a few times just to have some peace and quiet inside!? You know me...... spontaneous too! I think I had a plan all along, but I just filled it up with having fun and as long as I have fun, it seems to be in the plan.
Hey Joe! I found your blog through Stephanies. I can't believe you have twin boys, that is awesome. They are adorable. Good luck in dental school and living so far from home. It is so fun now that everyone our age has kids. It seem like yesterday that we were back in highschool. Your welcome to check out my blog and see my little boy. Take care, Shawna
hey jess..i will for sure send you a coupon...i'm not for sure when i will be sending them so just keep looking in your inbox or maybe even your junk mail (just incase it gets sent there) for the next week or so.. I bet shopping for two little ones plus you and joe can get overwhelming..this coupon is good at all old navy, gap stores and banana republic and online.. 30% off your purchase!! YEAH. hope everything is going great! you
Opposites attract!! Lance says we fill each other's gaps. How could we all not be planners? We were raised by Peggy whithead!! It is in our genes!
I keep waiting for the rest of your quirks! Haha, I also tend to get really hyper right before bed, and then yell at Joseph for not staying up and listening to me. This fight occurs at least once a week. At least you always win, that must be nice :)
