I've been tagged!

So here are the rules:

* Link to the person who tagged you.
* Mention the rules.
* Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
* Tag six other bloggers by linking to them.
* Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they’ve been tagged.

Thanks Kris... I think. This is tough.

1: I am anal. All of my cutlery is nested on itself, ie: spoons all facing the same way nested into each other. It doesn't work for knives very well, but everything else works great. I had to let this go when my children were active in the kitchen. They just did not understand. Now that they are on their own, Oh JOY, I can keep my cutlery in symmetry again.

2: My spices are all stored alphabetically. See above.

3: I don't drink tea or coffee or juice or pop (soda for some of you). I just love water. I have a 20 oz cup that is in my hand constantly or I panic. My water delivery guy loves me.

4: I hate to shop. Online shopping has been the biggest delight ever.

5: I love birds. I had a curly willow tree outside my bedroom window with a squirrel proof bird feeder there. I could spend hours watching the hundreds of birds that came. Unfortunately, it attracted rats that climbed the tree and took up residence in our attic. UGH! The tree had to go. I have bird feeders in other places in the yard, but, it is not the same. BooHoo.

6: We have been in a whole house renovation mode for the last year and a half. It started with simply trying to take down the wallpaper in our guest bath. It would not come off and we had to remove all the drywall. Well.......... one thing led to another and another. We are getting close, but, will not be finished by this Christmas and I WILL NEVER USE WALLPAPER AGAIN!

Very big ICK on the rat story.... that's terrible!
As for the wallpaper, we had a similar situation - I HATE that stuff :).
My last name is actually spelled Hubick.. but I like HubINK better. Sounds like a new art line of inks! HA! I'm so happy you played. And yes, it is tough!
xoxo,
Kristin

The lesson here - you should have gone with your mixed media background , left those long strips added more texture and painted right the heck over it lol.
Pouf done.
You're familiar by now w/joint compound , I'm sure? Guess what I did to my walls , lol. . .

Would you please come to my house and organize me? I want to be ordered - I get it - I just can't do it!
Loved reading your stories.

And while you're at it...organize me too! My house is a disaster with boxes everywhere, oh why do I have so much stuff??? I really admire that trait!

Oh, & I love the creative spelling of my name...."dot" is actually how most people pronounce it but it's really "dodt" with a long "O"...hey wait, I should save this for one of my boring things...hehehe!!!
