I'm Weird, Are you?

Some of the writer's of blogs I frequent experience the same thing, but what about those of you reading this? I get weird stares/comments when I mention the following:
-I bought bushels of corn this summer just for the sole purpose of having my own frozen corn
-I saved the cobs instead of throwing them out so I could make a corn chowder this winter. I made it last night and it was awesome.
-I asked for a sock loom for Christmas and got one.
-I have a compost bin
-I really want chickens. Judy- I am really envious of your chicken tales lately.
-I make tortillas, English muffins, and bread from scratch.
-We use cloth napkins during every meal, not just when company comes over. And unless we are having a party that is over 12 people, you will never find paper plates in my house or our toy hauler.

These are just a few of the items that make me "weird"

I wouldn't trade any of it. The same people that think I am weird are also the ones that love coming to my house for dinner. Most people my age either don't like to cook or if they do cook it is usually processed foods that they are preparing. I cook about 80% of all our foods from scratch. Being able to work from home has allowed me the extra time necessary to cook this way. I have been making some wonderful breads lately, unfortunately I always forget to take pictures.

So, are you weird? I hope you are in this weird club with me because I love being a member!

DEFINITELY in the weird club with you! And I wouldn't trade it for the world. Even my children recognize how 'different' our life is from some of their friends. But they're just fine with it the way it is... good thing- they don't have much choice.
Stay weird!

I want to be as weird as you. Sock loom?! I have no idea what that is but it sounds cool. Keep up the good work!
