A Few Things You Need To Know

According to darling husband, I witheld some of my major quirks until I was safely in the confines of marriage. An accusation that I vehemenently deny but, in the interests of full disclosure, I am going to share with you some of my adorable attributes that were apparently news to him.

1) I randomly burst into song. While I had done this prior to us getting married, the new addition was that sometimes these aren't actual known songs, but entirely made up by Kara ones, usually consisting of between one and three words sung repritively.

2) I hate nuts in chocolate unless it's Peanut M&Ms or Snickers bars (which I love)

3) I'm a total Nana. Yes even while on holiday. 10.30pm and it's all over. This includes New Years's, where I fell asleep in front of about 20 people (of whom I knew about 8) at 11pm.

4) Paying for a meal is serious business. When visiting a new place, if I find a great restaurant I am perfectly happy to eat there multiple times, than try somewhere else and risk having a bad meal.

5) I am the worst person in the world to share a bed with. I'm a shameless sheet stealer, and a wriggler and a heat seeker. Which ends up, at about 3am, with my husband hanging onto the edge of the bed without any bedding.

What about you? Any quirks that you'd like to fess up? Or any that you didn't even know you had until you got married?

What on earth is a Nana?!

Btw, did I tell you that I figured out that they sell TIM-TAMS IN AMERICA?! My friends at Pepperidge Farms bought the rights. Heaven. I eat them all the time now.

Let's see...quirks...

Apparently I'm a bear in the morning. As in, throw a raw steak my way and get out of the way.

Uh, oops!

Apparently its annoying when you can't sleep at 1am to play catch with the pillows by throwing them as high in the air as you can while keeping you back flat againt the mattress.

We also seem to have bladder-synchronosity, and with only one bathroom in the house, I can usually be found dancing around the living room, cursing.

I agree with May...what is a Nana?

I haven't had to share a bed with anyone yet, but I have a feeling I'll be a bad bed mate. I sleep in the middle of the bed, and toss and turn all night.

LOL. Really? A Nana is basically another name for Grandma.

If I was to say "Oh she's such a Nana", depending on the context it would generally mean either:
1) She goes to be really early (like by 9.30pm) or
2) She's just turned down an invite to go somewhere/do something on the basis of (1) she's tired or (2) she needs to wash her hair/do some knitting/can't miss something on TV
