I’ve been tagged!

Jen over at Sanctuary Arts at Home tagged me!  I’m so excited because it’s the first time I’ve been tagged since I started blogging!

She wants me to tell ya’ll 10 weird things about me and then I get to tag 3 other bloggers… A whole ten things, huh? It couldn’t be three or five…  sigh.  Well, here goes:

10 Weird Things About Shauntelle

1.  I develop color obsessions.  No. Seriously.  My favorite colors right now are certain blues, greens, and orange.  Practically all my shirts and dresses are one of those colors (or a combination of those colors).  And most of the items that I’m attracted to for decorating my home are one of those colors.  Pretty much whatever color is dominating my wardrobe at any given time is also dominating my home, my stationary, my jewelry, and my desktop.

2. I love country music.  Actually, I really love a wide variety of music, but I do adore country music.  Which wouldn’t be weird except I’m black… and ya know, it’s just not the standard thing… (but the times, they are a-changin’… anybody see Bobby Brown on Gone Country?).

3.   When I’m in the car by myself, I only listen to the French pop station on our satellite radio.  Yes, I took the mandatory language classes in high school/college, but no, I don’t understand a thing they’re singing.  Still, it’s my favorite station.

4.  I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 26.  So I’ve only been driving for 7 years.  (Not so strange in some big cities with great public transportation, but an oddity down South in Atlanta, where people start sneaking out to drive their parent’s cars when they’re 14.)

5.  I don’t like breakfast food.  I’ll cook breakfast for everyone else then eat leftover dinner… I like bacon sometimes, but that’s it.

6.   Ice gives me the heebie-jeebies.  I drink almost everything room temperature or hot.  And I can only drink something with ice in it if I have a straw and my mouth never touches an ice cube.

7.  I’m too chicken to watch horror movies, but I’m obsessed with watching all the ghost hunting shows on cable.   Especially the one with the Penn State students.

8.  I can generally tell you what store the furniture in most home decorating shows (and many commercials) comes from.

9.  I LOVE to read but have stopped buying books because I can’t stand clutter.  This is a serious connundrum in my life…

10.  I read really, really, really fast.  As in I read the last two Harry Potter books back to back in one day.   And I have on several occasions made my husband upset by borrowing 5 or 6 books from the library and finished them in a couple of days.

That’s it for me!  Now I’m tagging Tricia of Living at the Speed of Life, Courtney at Nesting Instincts, and Kate at My Journey.  The rules are simple ladies.  Post 10 weird things about yourself on your blog and then tag three other bloggers.  You can’t tag the person who tagged you, so make sure you go back and let them know when your post is up.  That’s it!  Can’t wait to learn more about ya’ll.

(And for those who are wondering, my regular Tackle It Tuesday post will be up later today.  Lucky you, two posts for the price of one!  lol)
