Six Weird Things About Me
April 24th, 2007 @ 11:11 am by Mrs. Lovebug
1. I’ve never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I love telling this to people and watching them try to make me eat one. Not. Gonna. Happen.
2. The only way I can swim underwater in the ocean is if I hum to myself while I’m doing it. Otherwise, I freak out about things like piranha and killer whales. And this thing:
(Mr. Lovebug doing the water tango)
3. I make 3×5 flash cards of vocabulary words like “ichthyology” and “ectomorphic,” and I study them in my spare time. Please stop laughing.
4. Until about three weeks ago, I had no idea what a trunk show was. I thought it involved actual trunks containing designer gowns that you could look at but not touch, much less try on.
5. Apparently, I’m unconsciously obsessed with the number two. I tend to buy everything in pairs: framed prints, decorative vases, pets, etc. (Is this a sign I’ll have twins??)
6. I have a litterbox-trained house rabbit named Oliver. He’s got run of the place, and is best friends with our retired greyhound, though the irony is lost on them:
“Mom! I can’t believe you told them I use a litterbox! I’m so embarrased.”

i can’t stop laughing… too cute!
But seriously, how did you litter box train a rabbit and can any joe bloe (ie - me) do it too?
Love the rabbit. Love him! How do u litter box train a rabbit?
how adorable…the English major in me is trying not to admit that if I had spare time I would learn cool words too : )
I also would like to know how to litter box train a rabbit!!!
You are quite comical….loving your rabbit! I can’t properly train my dog….nonetheless a rabbit…how’d you do it?
I can’t wait to read you blogs. 
your bunny is so cute!! and i’m just as curious as the other readers..how did you litter-box train Oliver?
It’s all good about the sandwich - peanut butter and honey is much better!
Hooray!!! Now Mr. Lemon has more evidence that I need a litter-trained bunny to go with his boston terrier!!!
Welcome Miss Lovebug! I hum to myself too when in the water. It does make me feel a little more comforted. I don’t like PBJ anyway. I love your bunny picture!!!! Awwww
Hi Miss Lovebug! I just wanted to share that an old boyfriend and myself tried to litterbox-train our rabbit. Unfortunately it didn’t work. I guess you could call it laziness on us. Also, I am an island girl (Hawaii) and am deathly afraid of the water (go figure). Maybe I’ll try that humming technique the next time I’m in the ocean.
I love it. I can’t wait to read more of your blogs.
I am scared of the ocean as well. Maybe I will try humming in the future!! loL!
I love the bunny picture!!! How did you train him? My roommate had a bunny last year, and we ended up having to give her away because we couldn’t train her and she became more and more testy/mean.
Cutest bunny photo I’ve ever seen…!!! Welcome!
the bunny is adorable! that pic looks like something on cute overload. i understand your obsession with the number 2. i like things to be symmetrical too. there has been many times i yelled out “it has to be even!” aye.
I love that your rabbit and greyhound found companionship together. sweet, and hilarious.
I often find myself buying two of things, even when it doesn’t matter. Two vases, sure: one on each end table, right? But I’m talking two cans of corn, two [identical] pairs of socks…No idea what in my head makes me do that. Maybe I absorbed my twin!
cant. stop. laughing. hahahahahahah!!
I love the trained bunny. A friend of mine had one that peed on her twice the day we bought it, so we named her Tinkles.
Have you seen the movie “The Baxtor?” The main characters learn volcabulary in their spare time, too.
Hey everyone! Housebreaking a rabbit is easy and hard at the same time. It’s hard because you need to wait until they’re mature (post neuter/spay) before they’ll catch on (it’s the opposite of training any other animal — the older they are, the easier they learn new tricks).
But it’s easy in that they naturally “go” in one particular spot. You just have to find that spot, i.e. keep moving their box over where they went until they get it. It helps if you have the right litter (a special soft, fibrous blend) and you put hay in the box to tempt them (a staple of their diets).
Oliver will be thrilled to hear of all this talk of him.
hahahaha! your post is hilarious miss lovebug! Your rabbit’s pic is too CUTE!!! Now i want a house-trained rabbit! =)
LOL. You’re hilarious!
I litterbox trained my bunny, too! People are always amazed that he’ll “hold it” until he gets to his box.
That’s great–you’re hilarious! Water tango = priceless and vocab card = etymology/Greek Roots? Again, love it as an English teacher.
Maybe the everything in two’s is more an OCD thing? I am kind of like that…
Aw that makes me want a rabbit knowing that it can be housetrained! I had a big fat rabbit once and it didn’t do much 
I wonder how my puppy will get along with it though!
I have a bunny too Miss Lovebug! He’s a tiny gray fluffball of a Netherland dwarf.
Miss Plumeria: Ooh, a Netherland dwarf! Those are so sweet. I would love a Flemish Giant, but I don’t think it’s in the cards…
that there might be cute overload material!
SOO cute! Love the pic of Oliver, but I want to see your greyhound - I have one, too!! (Named Ollie, oddly enough…)
The water tango? Nonsense. Mr Lovebug looks like he just finished biting the tail off a water buffalo. Funny blogging Miss Lovebug!
I so want a bunny - I love them. And your bun is the cutest ever! sigh…
hahaha!! i dunno which is funnier - your post or the talk about netherland dwarfs and flemish giants
