10 Unusual Things About Me #L&SR #Wednesday Blog Challenge 4.17.19
Okay here we go with 10 unusual things about me.
10. I was a radio DJ for several years – It was fun. Saw lots of great concerts, met lots of my favorite Rock and Roll stars and bands. But I have to tell you there are a lot of weirdos in that profession. So yes, I fit right in! LOL
9. Do you remember your dreams? I always do and they are in vivid color. Yep, some of my wildest dreams were the basis of my books.
8. I like ice cubes in my chocolate milk. In fact sometimes I freeze it to make fudge bars. Yum!
7. Learned early on to respect the paranormal and never mess with a Ojou board. <shiver>
6. I can remember sequences of numbers that I’ve seen or heard but my neighbors’ name not so much.
5. I rock out to rock and roll music from the 60’s thru 80’s. But when I write I like quiet.
4. I hate shopping.
3. I know all the dialog and songs word for word of Dirty Dancing.
2. I love raw carrots fresh out of the garden (after their washed of course) But hate cooked carrots. On that note, I love to garden and do pretty well at it. But have never been able to grow broccoli. (Tried 3 years in a row). The plant always grows to nothing but huge leaves. Anyone out there have any idea what I’m doing wrong?
1. I love coloring Easter eggs. But mine have to be multi-colored. Here’s a couple of ways I do it.
a. Place one cup of rice into each baggie. Add 7-8 drops of food coloring into each one.
b. Close the baggies and squish the rice around so all the color mixes in well.
c. Open up and place 1 hard-boiled egg inside. Close the baggie and shake it around until you have your desired color.
d. Repeat step 3 until all the eggs are colored. Have fun mixing two or three colors or make a fun rainbow egg with all the colors.
e. Place the eggs back in the carton or on a paper towel to dry and store in the refrigerator.
Ever dyed Easter eggs with shaving cream? I have.
- Spray the shaving cream into each cup in the muffin tin.
- Place several drops of food coloring into each cup. Feel free to add multiple colors to one cup! Swirl the color into the foam using a cotton swab.
- Gently set eggs in the cups, swirling several times, until completely coated.
- Allow the eggs to sit for 10-15 minutes
- Remove the eggs and rinse with cold water; store in the refrigerator.
After all this fun, hide the eggs Easter morning. After hide and seek is over, peel the eggs and make devil eggs. YUM! At least that what I do! LOL

This is so cool Tena. I have some similar quirks memorizing lyrics.
Thanks for the cool Easter Egg variations.
“Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”
You got that right!!! Thanks for stopping by Charlotte!
Fun! I’ve done the shaving cream (with my preschool students) but will have to try the rice (sounds a LOT less messy!). re: Lyrics. My husband claims I know a song for just about every situation (he’s not wrong!). My post is here: http://jhthomas.blogspot.com/2019/04/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-ten.html
Thanks for stopping by Judy! I’ off to check your’s out! LOL
Its so cool that you were a DJ!!!
it was a fun experience I’ll never forget! Thanks for stopping by!
Loved to read more about you, Tena. And loved the thoughts on the eggs!
Hi Jean glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful week and happy Easter!
Fun list! I hate when people mess up lyrics–especially my husband. I’m always correcting him.
Thanks for stopping by Jennifer. Oh, me too on the lyrics. My hubby hums along when he doesn’t know the words. OR sometimes he sings his own words (funny) to familiar songs.
Thanks for sharing. I too hate shopping.
Good to know I’m not alone! Thanks for popping in. Have a happy Easter!
I was just wondering how I was going to dye all those eggs I’ve been volunteered to bring for this Sunday’s dinner! Thanks for the tips. I’m going to try the rice one. Great post!
Happy to help!Let me know how it works for you. I love that particular way. Thanks for stopping by! Have a happy Easter!
This is such a great idea, Tena. I’ll have to share my quirks another day. One thing about me – I’m a writer who doesn’t know how to type. Things I share with you – I also hate shopping and love classic rock.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. So do you use hunt and peck to write? We are in good company with the things we share! LOL Happy Easter!
I hate shopping too. Other than that your list was interestingly weird or weirdly interesting. Nice to know you better!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great rest of the week! Happy Easter if you celebrate.
Funny re: Dirty Dancing… I can probably do most, but I CAN do the words and music to “Pirates of Penzance” (which I noted on my own post from today, here: http://www.mariannearkins.com/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-10-unusual-things-about-me/ ).
I love all your egg decorating ideas!! Just in time for Easter 🙂
Happy to help. Love coloring Easter eggs. Thanks for stopping by!
I am digging those eggs. Very cool.
I wanted to be a DJ for a while, but I’d want to listen to the records, not spin them, so I’d probably get fired.
Good list!! 🙂
Love the Easter egg dye tips. Gonna try them on Saturday. Knew the other stuff, as I am sure you expected.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you had a good Easter!
I was never a DJ, but I work in IT and through One Of Those Moments I would up as a regular photographer for Annual Local Music Festival, which certainly produced some memorable experiences.
Whether or not I can remember my dreams is a direct measure of whether or not I’m getting enough sleep.
Carrots should be crunchy, dammit.
And Dirty Dancing is a great film.

Thank you for stopping in, I be by to visit your blog shortly!
Sorry I was too busy to get my blog done yesterday but I enjoyed yours. I seem to have a knack for being able to memorize strings of numbers too. Even got tested a million years ago because a teacher sent me. Since music has been a great part of my life, I explain being able to do it because of rhythm. Numbers have a certain rhythm to me which helps me remember, I think.
Hey Kathy! I agree number do have a rhythm or cadence to them. Thanks for stopping by!
Loved this post, Tena! You are one fascinating lady. I’m going to try your Easter egg colouring recipe. Sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing.
