7 things you may not know about the Bartons

So, I'm answering Marianne's tag about the seven things weird about my family. But I'm also including things that maybe no one knows about our family.

-First of all I love my husband....I think he hung the moon. That being said, he has a quirk or two. If he wears a shirt for a little while and it's not "dirty" he won't hang it back in the closet because it isn't clean. However, he won't put it in the dirty clothes because it isn't dirty. Hence we have the "not clean, not dirty pile".

-I have a tie problem...not a Ty problem...a tie problem. I LOVE to buy ties. My husband must have 50 or so yet I still buy more, in my defense, I always find them CHEAP CHEAP.

-Brent and I like to heckle the news anchors. My favorite thing is Mark Eubanks weather report. He's such a dork! My best "Eubankism" is on time he said after lots of rain that "the water helps us but not in a good way."

-We still operate on a windows 98 system. (yes I know it's 2008)

-One thing no one maybe knows about me is that I play the piano and the flute. And I'm dang good. (no one knows that I am humble)

-My name in Linda Barton and I'm a diet cokeaholic. I drink a twelve pack of dc EVERY day. Thats my confession. I don't plan to change anytime soon.

-I don't ever put anything away in the same place twice. This stems from my inability to decide the perfect place for my stuff. Apparently I haven't found the perfect place for ANYTHING!!!

This is a sneak peak into my crazy life. Hope you enjoyed it!
Love ya blog family!

Oh-- I love it! You're a riot! And I can't believe what a good speller you are! You must have a personal assistant speller or something... :)

That was great! Not clean-not dirty pile? That is definitely one I have never heard of before!

And I thought I knew you...

I love the heckling thing. I call all the weather guys weather weenies for the same reason! I think we just bonded. =)

I am glad your not ashamed of your Diet Coke addiction, there is nothing wrong with that. I do need to borrow Jared or Katelyn when I am headed to the gas station, so I too will not have to get out of the car. You crack me up. Mark also has a not clean-not dirty pile, it makes me crazy.

Hi Linda -- isn't it great that everyone is quirky? The worst thing is how quirky our parents get, the older they get. What a bunch of lunatics, huh?
