Imagine opening that little beauty at work, like I did. Right at the front counter, where the public comes in for building permits etc. One of my co-workers was impressed enough to yell "Siobhan! Your Mom is off the hook, YO!"
I had been anxiously awaiting this package, as my mom has called me every day for a week to see if it was delivered. So when it arrived, I tore into the package right away, saying "Gee, I hope this isn't wildly inappropriate since I'm opening it right here at the front counter." Imagine my surprise when I opened up what appeared to be....well, anyway... It was pretty embarrassing.
In other non-news, I tend to think of myself as a non-phobic person. However, the other day, I found myself chatting with a friend and listing the things that creep me out and I realized-wow, I have a lot of hang-ups!
So for no particular reason, here's a list of things that make me uncomfortable:
- Birds. No big surprise here. Especially this time of year, blackbird nesting season. I've already had my first attack of the season.
- Cotton balls. Or more specifically, synthetic cotton balls.
- Anne Geddes. I do not understand what is cute about babies dressed up as vegetables. Why? Why would a person paint a baby to look like a lettuce leaf?
- "Painter of Light" Thomas Kincaide.
- Sarah McLachlen. I REALLY hate her, but I don't know why. I can't even watch that stupid SPCA commercial with all the cute kittens because she's in it.
- Mayonnaise that hasn't been constantly refrigerated. By constantly, I mean for more than the 30 seconds it takes to spread some on a sandwich.
