A teenie little giveaway.
1. Just leave a comment here and answer a burning question:
Do you talk to yourself?
I was in the grocery store talking to myself about different pasta options and wondered if anyone heard me and thought I was cuckoo. I talk to myself all the time when I'm at home sewing but public "self-conversation" may be a little more rare.
2. If you mention my teenie giveaway on your blog, leave another comment telling me and I'll enter you a second time.
I'll do the drawing at 7:00am PST on Tuesday.

Wow 203 comments. I guess I don't stand a chance, but I love Moda and I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't talk to myself out loud, but my mind is going 100 mph. That's why I don't turn on the TV or radio. I like it totally quiet so I can think.
but I have a daughter who does.
Maybe those with most imagination are the ones who do.
~a
Yup...hate to admit it, but I do talk to myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat's even sadder is...when my kids reply to something I've said, but realize I wasn't speaking to them. They don't listen when I AM talking to them, but listen when I'm not. Typical!
Oh well, guess it's one of those "gotta be there" moments.
I do talk to myself but now people just think I'm talking on mycell and so I don't get such strange looks anymore.
ReplyDeleteI thought everyone talked to themselves. I work by myself in a glass room. People walking by my window always wonder who i'm speaking to. Keeps them wondering. I also talk to my computer screen, the dog (who listens very carefully) and my longarm (lizzy).
ReplyDeletemaggie
ps. I love the Moda
Thanks for being so generous yet again!
ReplyDeleteI do talk to myself. Mostly at work at my desk. Unfortunately, my office-mate talks to himself as well so there's a lot of "Were you talking to me?" going on!
Yes, I talk to myself., But al lto of the time I can disguise it by appearing to be talking to my young children!
ReplyDeleteyes, I talk to myself every now and then!
ReplyDeleteI blogged about your giveaway here: www.ilmioangolinocreativo.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYep...I definitely talk to myself, but I like to think no one hears me :o) What cracks me up are the people talking on a blue-tooth headset at full volume...now they look and sound crazy :o)
ReplyDeleteDoes talking to your computer count? Or your sewing machine? Or the ankle You just turned??? Then I pretty much talk to myself every day!!
ReplyDeleteMary Beth
Of course!! I can't get my family to listen to me, so I have become my best audience.
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself once in awhile - esp. when I do something stupid.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog. My friend at Mountain Musings sent me. Love the Oh Cherry Oh line, I have a project in mind, already have the backing bought and purchased...actaully I said that all to my self....:)YES I do talk to myself, especially when I am trying to decide which fabric to purchase at our local quilt shop! :) Don't hae a blog but I'll tell my friends to come visit.
ReplyDeleteYou can reach me at
our10kids@cox.net
Oh these are so pretty, thanks for a chance to win. I talk to myself too, who else will listen???
ReplyDeleteOh, do I talk to myself! Really, I actually mumble to myself and people are always asking me, "What?" and I have nothing to share.
ReplyDeletei talk to myself all the time.
ReplyDeleteNot only do I talk to myself but I answer myself too. I spend a good deal of my day alone and when I get home I have to remide myself that I am not alone and try to be aware of talking to myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI sure do! I also talk to my sewing machines, my car, my house, my plants and my dogs. :-)
ReplyDeleteAfter reading some of the comments people left I am starting to think something is wrong with me because I don't talk to myself! LOL
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself a lot ... especially when I'm driving or in the shower. There are some interesting conversations that happen - it's probably a good thing I only talk to myself when I'm alone! :)
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself when I'm irritated by someone (until my kids point out that I am doing it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I talk to myself, though usually not out loud. You know you're aging when, like my 80-year-old friend, you start talking to yourself rather loudly because you're also hard of hearing!!;-)
ReplyDeletefunny that you mention the grocery store--that's when i find myself doing it most!!
ReplyDeleteHell yeah!! And about all sorts of random stuff!!
ReplyDeleteMy other half thinks it's hilarious coz I don't realise I'm doing it:
"T, ur talking to urself again!!"
" Hmm, What?? Am I?? Oh!!! Need o stop that sorry!!"
10 seconds later..........
" T,......."
Never mind!! 1st sign of madness my, um, elbow!!!
Tia xxx
Yes indeedie I do and sometimes I answer myself as well. ;D
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself all the time. Everyone in my house knows it and even people at work tease me about it. I can't help it... there is a lot going on in my head and I have to get it out!
ReplyDeleteOh my yes! I talk to myself all the time. My husband thinks it's very weird.
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself all the time. Usually I am by myself but occassionally someone happens by and I always feel extra cuckoo!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love Oh-Cherry-Oh!
I have been talking to myself as long as I can remember. I think it is more like muttering. I used to be embarrassed when people I worked with caught me talking to myself, until I realized that I wasn't the only person who did it. I also thought the tendancy to do this ran in my family two of my sisters also do it!
ReplyDeleteTheresaJ-Quilting Under Clouds
I always talk to myself when I'm working.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely talk to myself. I also sing to my dogs when no one else is around. Does that get me an extra entry? Giggle
ReplyDeleteOh... I dooooo.... many times!!!
ReplyDeleteAm I crazy?? or just I spend too much time alone?? hehe I need my husband back or I will go nuts! (he is working abroad for 1.5 years now!!)
love
marta
Yes, entire conversations...but all in my thoughts. Sometimes it gets quite noisy in there. Thanks for the opportunity to win your wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeletemstclaire@twcny.rr.com
Of course I do. I have 3 young kids. If I didn't talk to myself, who in the world would actually listen to me??
ReplyDelete:-)

msolomo1@maine.rr.com
oh, yes, i do talk to myself. i try not to do it in public. it's a good thing i usually have a 3 year old in tow...so i don't have to. :)
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself a lot. More than I like to admit. Tuesday (the 9th) is my birthday. I'm hoping for some birthday luck! thanks for the opportunity to win. I do love cherries.
ReplyDeleteMary
Sigh...yes, and I talk to inanimate objects, too. The other day after a quick, hard rain I found myself talking to the worms that got washed out up onto the sidewalk. I was telling them they were going to get stepped on. LOL.

i have conversations in my head all the time...the problem with that is that sometimes, i expect my husband to understand what i'm talking about when i start to talk out loud (after 10 years he's getting better at it)
ReplyDeleteI do but never realize it until my 6 yr old says "um, mom, who are you talking to?" Kids sound so cute when they're confused!
ReplyDeletetotally, but usually just in the car or bathroom
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me!!.....I talk to my self all the time! My other half always says who are you talking to? I say...My self....
ReplyDeleteI definitely do, especially when I'm problem solving. I'm not sure if I do it in public - no ones ever called me on it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I do. Thankfully I have never been caught...that I know of anyway.
ReplyDeleteAlthough if so many of us our self-talkers, why should we be embarrassed if we are "caught"??
I have to talk to myself to keep myself straight!! I can't follow instructions as well if I don't read them to myself-out-loud.
ReplyDeleteOh absolutely! It sort of came about as a result of being married to an engineer for the past 12 years. Those who are very familiar with engineers know what I'm talking about :D I also talk to the plants in my flowerbeds -- especially when they are doing particularly well -- a little positive affirmation goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteLove the charm pack! YES, I talk to myself. I talk to myself all the time. Use to hear it was ok unless you answered yourself. Guess I'm loony as I answer myself all the time.
ReplyDelete250 comments. That is a lot of people who talk to themselves...
ReplyDeleteOf course I talk to myself, all the time, in public and private. Sometimes it's the only way to get a decent conversation - and to have someone laugh at my odd sense of humour...
Pretty fabric!
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself a lot! Even with people around, then I say to whomever is around "you don't have to answer me, I'm just talking to myself" Can't say I've ever done it in public though!
I just posted about your giveaway!
ReplyDeletehttp://justthegoodoldboys.blogspot.com/2009/06/another-giveaway-at-twiddletails.html
Yes, I do talk to myself. Mostly when no one else is around, but there have been times where I have wondered if people thought I was crazy.
ReplyDeleteAre there really folks that *don't* talk to themselves? Of course I do!
ReplyDeletei so talk to myself, but i just say i'm thinking out loud!! love your charm pack and hope i'm the winner!
ReplyDeletei just commented about your give away on my blog ... hope you get even more comments! http://candlelitequilter.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself all the time. Sometimes when others are present.
ReplyDeleteSo relieved I am not the only one. I usually talk inside my head but find my lips moving. I must look like a crazy person:)
ReplyDeleteI always talk to myself the stuff people hear isn't so bad but I'm glad people can't hear whats going on inside my head ! LOL !
ReplyDeleteYes, I talk to myself daily. I guess it helps me keep on track. My 8 year old son heard me one day and he said mom, you answer your own questions.
ReplyDeleteum, yes, I do talk to myself. I didn't realize just how much until a customer kept saying, "pardon?" because I was talking to myself as I was ringing up her sale (my way of keeping straight all the items I keyed in on the cash register...) LOL
ReplyDeleteooops, you´ve got me - sure I´m talking to myself. All the time when I discuss which fabric I have to choose to my projects. Lovely give away you offer. :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly in my head. I try not to talk out loud.
ReplyDeleteIf you have several personalities and one talks to the other does that count as talking to yourself? well count me in....I talk to myself all time and sometimes even answer.
ReplyDeletehttp://kellyannsquilting.blogspot.com/ check out my blog and see your blog...bloggers doing give-a-way what a great thing. and while you're there if you see it with time left my giveaway ends on Monday, look for my giveaway post and drop me a comment.
ReplyDeleteThese days it really isn't that strange...just stick one of those bluetooth things in your ear and everyone will think you're on the phone! Problem solved :)
ReplyDeleteDCK1758@aol.com
Yes I do talk to myself and i got caught way before hands free phones in my car and was stared at by a police officer who was rolling by...heehee
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself all the time LOL! You would think with 4 kids at home all day long I wouldn't need to...but I still do. Sometimes I will talk to myself about a recipe I am working on, or my "chores" that I still need to get done for the day. Its like I am my own personal reminder.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I talk to myself!! What really scares me is when I answer myself!! hehehehe! Hubby thinks I'm crazy anyway, because I carry on conversations with our farm animals!! Now if they answer then there may be a big problem!!
ReplyDeleteKristie
I forgot, I mentioned you on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI always talk to myself. It's so embarrassing! Especially at work! A man I used to work with had a little saying: People who talk to themselves either have money in the bank....or they're crazy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cute giveaway!
absolutel YES! I am soo happy to see there are so many others who do. Often I think I'm a bit cookoo.
ReplyDelete:-)
And all this time I thought I was so special because I was the only one :(
ReplyDelete*giggle*
I live alone for ten years now, and yes, I do talk to myself often.
ReplyDeleteI do talk to myself and my kids think I'm kooky when they hear me! ~ which I like to think is rare.
ReplyDeleteCheers, (or is that Oh-Cherry-Oh)
Dionne
PS - what a GREAT giveaway!
Yes!! Usually when I am doing math.
ReplyDeleteFunny question. Yup - since having kids, I talk to myself. Alot. I think it has something to do with spending big chunks of time without other adults around, narrating things instead of having conversations: "Are you hungry, baby? Do you want some milk? What about cheerios? Do you want to read a book?" etc. My baby just stares back at me, as her older sister did. I then talk to myself in other situations as I'm so used to hearing my own darn voice! I'm hoping this will stop once they're both fully conversational.
ReplyDeleteI definitely talk to myself, but I usually remember not to do it in public. Singing to myself, on the other hand, I do without even thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself all the time, but since I read somewhere that Einstein talked to himself, I consider it a sign of genius.
ReplyDelete;)
I don't talk to myself, but I talk to my kids alot about things that I don't really want their opinion about. "Should we get this one or that one." They answer "That one." I say "Hmmm, we'll get this one" which is the exact opposite of what they've just indicated.
ReplyDeleteI don't talk to my self ... but I do talk to my cat, Trudy ... and to other drivers who do dumb things when I'm driving ... does that count?
ReplyDeleteTalk to myself? You betcha! That's not so bad, it's the "answering yourself" some say you need to watch out for...
ReplyDeleteI must admit I do. Most of the time it is just in my head but, more than I like to admit, it does come out when I am at the computer, or sewing, and sometimes at the grocery. I usually look around real fast and hope that no one was close enough to hear. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear I'm not alone.
I talk to myself in the car! But that is easy to make it look like you are singing to the radio!
ReplyDeletei talk to myself in my head... but not out loud... and my mom always said it was ok to talk to yourself as long as you don't answer yourself.
ReplyDeletei talk to myself in front of the mirror, especially if i am prepping myself for an interview or important conversation. i also like to talk to myself in the car sometimes. one time a room mate caught me and it was slightly awkward!
ReplyDeleteI talk to my self. It helps my children to talk to them-self too. I think it's good.
ReplyDeleteinbal
I talk to myself out loud a lot! But it's mostly me trying to remember the answer to a question I asked someone else. Kind of like saying it out loud jogs my memory. However, I don't typically hold conversations with myself out in public! I saw some other comments about making noises and talking to other "drivers", I DO this all the time. My kids think it's just too funny, me talking to the driver in front of me who can't possibly hear me, but it makes me feel better to get rid of the frustrating feelings towards other drivers rather than hold it in. How's that?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love, love your blog!!
I talk to the tv when I see something that I think is ridiculous. Also, I talk to other drivers who follow too close. Otherwise, I am pretty quiet.

I talk to myself quite often. Sometimes outloud and sometimes only in my head.
ReplyDeleteauntiemcpete@aol.com
I do. I noticed my girls talking to themselves and thought about how strange it was until I caught myself doing the same thing and realized they probably picked it up from me! Cherry-Oh is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am always talking to myself, and here lately I found myself muttering on about no one picking up after themselves.
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself all the time. You shouldn't worry about it unless you start answering yourself.
ReplyDeleteMAry
Yes, I also talk to myself, but mostly in my head, so not to confuse those around me!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI do talk to myself. Mainly at work and at home..not usually in public. I share an office though...so my "office-mate" looks at me strangely every now and then. I usually talk to myself when i'm trying to figure something out and am frustrated..usually with sewing :)
Yes, all the time. My husband is a musician and travels a lot, so I often find myself talking to the dog. This week both the husband and the dog are gone, but I just keep talking. I also catch myself talking in stores, work and out in public. No embarrassing stories, I usually stop myself before it gets out of hand.
ReplyDeleteYes I do, mostly lately when I am playing on the computer... and cooking, and driving, and really anything else. Sometimes I am the only one that listens to me talk! So why not talk to myself! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI talk all the time, so I suppose one could ascertain that if I am alone whilst talking, it must be to myself (do I sound super smart here? I'm trying to make it sound like talking to yourself is normal and all the scholars do it). Sometimes I play it off that I'm talking to my cat..
ReplyDeletedmacclelland at gmail dot com
I don't blog so I had to tell myself about your sweet give away - and while your mom is visiting! I heard my girl talking to herself in the bathroom years ago during a visit from my parents. 'Why do I have to let Granny and Grandpa sleep in my bed all the time? Why can't mommy and daddy sleep on the floor?'
ReplyDeleteI have always talked to myself....sometime I wonder if people are thinking I have lost my mind....Usually I'm trying to remember what I needed to buy, or where I parked my car....
ReplyDeleteI do talk to myself, but it's more just muttering about why I'm the only person who knows where the trash can is or the laundry room or the dishwasher -- stuff like that. = ) I hope I'm not too late, because I love that Oh, Cherry, Oh.
ReplyDeletejessierey(at)msn(dot)com
Oh yes I talk to myself, especially when it's "Where did I put ......... I know it was here a minute ago"
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, well, yes I talk to myself all the time. And, yes, I do talk back! I also talk to people on TV. They have yet to answer back, though!
ReplyDeleteI only talk to myself at home (especially when something goes wrong).
ReplyDeleteSharon
Yes I have spoken to myself a time or two.thanks for sharing,Amy
ReplyDeleteNa, I already know the answers I get if I talk to myself. No fun in that. See now right now I'm thinking "that fabric is adorable" but becuase I didn't think/say it outloud it doesn't count for talking to myself, right?
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteOfcouse I do!! And I always get the best answer ;o))
I will tell evreone on my blog http://quiltan.blogspot.com/ about your giveaway.
Kristina in Arjeplog, Sweden
Sure I talk to myself, I might not always get the best answers but it helps sort out my thoughts if I say them out loud.
ReplyDeleteI've put a link to your giveaway on my blog: sajkosissan.blogsome.com
ReplyDeleteYes I do especially when I'm cooking. I find myself telling me, myself and I what to do out loud...I also find myself singing out loud too when I think its in my head :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I totally talk to myself! Lol! Most of it is in my head, but the little voice in there has been known to have actual conversations and disagreements with itself. It'll say,, 'hey, I like that' (about a craft item or something) and then it'll reply 'yeah, me too!'. And then I'm like 'dudes, you're both the same person!' But then there are 3 of us talking and I'm thinking... does that make me slightly crazy?! :-)
ReplyDeleteAhahaha :-) Anyway, thanks for the chance to win. I've been coveting one of these for A-G-E-S but am too poor to buy one :-) So fingers crossed!!
