Thirteen weird things about Mary, TT #10

Thirteen weird things about Mary OK, I am sure there are more than 13... if you can think of one, let me know! :OP 1. I have almost died 3 times in my life. I was close to drowning twice, and went into shock after surgery. The third time was really weird, I could hear everything going on (the doctor and nurses working on me) but couldn't open my eyes. I felt very peaceful and I thought to myself, "Oh well, I guess I am going to die." 2. I have to have something sweet- usually chocolate- after eating spicy food. 3. It never fails, I always get a little depressed at the beginning of spring. Knowing why helps, I finally figured it out about 9 years ago. 4. I love mac and cheese, but most of the time with hot dogs cut up in it. This really grosses my husband out. :O) 5.I obsess about new things and get burned out on it quickly because of this. I am trying not to do this with blogging. 6. I obsess about things in another way, I have OCD. I am not the kind that can't function normally, but I do tend to obsess until I take care of whatever it is. It could be something silly like fixing a crooked picture. 7. I have to make lists, otherwise I will forget something I want to do. If I forget my grocery list, I am a mess and usually can't remember half of it. 8. I can wiggle my ears. 9. I can pick things up with my toes. 10. I have had 7 surgeries in my 37 years of life. 11. I have a horrible need to be accepted, and it really bothers me when I know someone is mad at me or doesn't like me. I have known this about myself for a long time, and I am working on this. I now do things for people because I care about them, not because it will make them like me. 12. I wouldn't relive the first 18 years of my life if you paid me all the money in the world. Seriously. 13. This is something that I think is weird yet wonderful: When we first started dating, I told my husband every bad thing about me and my past (my parents, ect). You would think that after knowing in my heart after 2 short weeks that John was the one, that I wouldn't do something that would have him running scared in the opposite direction... I just wanted to know if he was going to stick around, and didn't want to invest myself if he wasn't. He didn't blink an eye- even after I told him that if we ever got married and I found out that he hurt our kids, I would kill him. :O) 18 years later, here we are. Shoot, the fact that he stayed with me after he got to experience all the drama for himself is a miracle. He must really love me.
