Seven Weird Things

I've been tagged by my friend Adrienne, fellow blogger and grad student extraordinaire, to reveal 7 weird things about myself so here it goes...

1. I have a slight obsession with crossword puzzles and word searches. I do them in those cheesy books you buy at the grocery store. I however, NEVER attempt the New York Times one as I'm not that kind of smart.

2. I pay someone who is also named Jackie to wax my eyebrows at least twice a month. I can't pluck one hair myself without my eyes starting to water. I feel it's worth every penny to allow someone else to take this grooming task off my hands.

3. I love Paul Newman. Have you ever seen 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'? I rest my case.

4. I hate deer and lizards. The sight of them makes me ill. In fact, I love dogs and am OK with cats but for the most part I don't like a lot of animals. Sorry.

5. I met my fiance' in Pella, Iowa when we were both there for a week of sales training for the same company. I actually wasn't supposed to go on the trip but got in at the last minute. I lived in Phoenix at the time and he here in Philadelphia. I pretty much knew from day one that I hearted him.

6. When I lived in Seattle, I shared a single bathroom with 6 people including, a drunk wrestling loving musician, two rock climbing artists, a 40ish mumbling Moroccan, wine obsessed fisherman and a beautiful cancer survivor.

7. I could eat Wheat Chex every day of the week for the rest of my life. It is my favorite cereal hands down.
