I've been tagged to do this by the lovely Sis. Jewel, and of course, I can't help but comply. Here's 8 Random Things About Me:
1. I can't live without dental floss. Really. I am very obsessive-compulsive when it comes to my teeth. If you had teeth as . . . prominent as mine, you probably would too. Those suckers look like elongated chiclets in my mouth. Anyway, I didn't have a cavity until I was 19, and the dentist admonished me for not flossing every day. From that point on, I became a born-again flosser.
2. I am wild about sunflowers. I like them a WHOLE lot. They're just really happy, classy, naturally beautiful flowers. I mean, I guess all flowers are "naturally beautiful" by the very fact they're flowers, but sunflowers aren't as . . . sophisticated as roses and orchids and flowers like that. They're not all soft and velvety, they're bright and spunky.
3. The purse I have gotten the most compliments for carrying is a small, colorful purse with ladybugs on it that I got from the thrift store for $2.
4. My best friends are far away. It's not hard to keep up long-distance friendships when you're really good friends, but it's uncool that you can't just spontaneously hang out like you used to do in college.
5. I am deathly afraid of credit cards. For the longest time, my dad had me convinced that they were the spawn of Satan, but I had to use one recently. I am praying that this isn't the beginning of the end.
6. I'm a long shower junkie. It's been an addiction for a long time that has been nearly impossible to break. There is something so soothing and magical, bordering on bewitching, about a hot shower that makes it so hard to leave. Maybe I'll sober up once I get my first water bill.
7. I'm a teacher and I'm not ready to go back to school. Everywhere I go, I see my little students. The snaggletoothed smiles that greet me at Wal-mart and the mall and Panera Bread and wherever else I might go are like haunting reminders of the time to come. Like little ghostly voices whispering, "We're coming, we're coooommmiing!"
8. I alternate between the following ringtones for my cell phone: "Everything is Beautiful" by Starfield, "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts, and an orchestral version of "Moon River."
Now, when it comes to tagging others for memes, I usually chicken out. Plus, most of the bloggers I know have done this like a million times. I look at them like email forwards--I'll read them, but I don't pass them on. :-)

I wandered here from Jewels blog.
Your teeth are fine, It could be worse you could have Star teeth like my fathers, bright and shiny but they come out at night.
Credit cards are great slaves but terrible masters, common sense will see you right.

Okay, I'm a religious flosser, too. My teeth just don't feel clean without flossing, you know? My fave flowers are daisies! I carry a basic black purse. *feeble grin* What can I say? I used to have all kinds of purses and shoes that matched but as I've gotten older, I've gone to basic black, though it DOESN'T go with everything, like my mother always said! I understand about friends being far away. Oh, and about the credit card. You can tell the credit card company to limit your credit line. We did that with ours. It was $38,000. We had them set it at $1000. I'm a bath junkie! We're talking one big prune here, when I'm done! LOL AND my ringtone is a rooster crowing because it is the only tone I can hear when my phone is in my purse!! And it is a great conversation starter! Thanks for doing this, Chantell!
Your 8 are cute! I have sunflower drawer pulls in my kitchen. (My decorations are all birdhouses, but my mother gifted me with the drawer pulls & they work!)
