QUIRKS

I was tagged this morning by my sister-in-law, Shaleece. The object of this tag is to list 6 Quirks that make you who you are, so here I go...

1- I have to group like things together on the conveyor belt when I am checking out. Cold things together, clothes together, hygiene products together etc. Richard loves to mess with me and watch me get frustrated, by putting things up in a random order or by moving things around.

2- Some of you (my Canadian friends) may find this next one "normal". But since I am American born some people think I am quirky when I use the word "eh" or tell you to meet me in the Foyer, but it sounds like Foy-yay.

3-Going to bed in messy sheets. My bed rarely gets made. (I know- GASP!) This is not because I am a lazy slob, I love a made bed. It is usually because I get up before anyone else and there is still a child or sometimes, if I'm lucky, even my husband still sleeping there. And by the time I get back to it, either now a child is napping there or it is time to go to bed. Another reason may be that my bedspread is "Dry clean only" and with all the leaky sippycups, diapers, and sticky fingers in my house, it doesn't stand a chance. I do hope someday it will see the light more often than when we company:0). But every night before I can go to sleep I have to straighten everything out just like it was made all day long!

4-The first thing I do when I wake up is brush my teeth. I don't even wait until I've had breakfast. I can't stand the feeling of morning breath and don't want to kill anyone with the smell.

5-When Richard is gone I usually go to sleep with the TV on. I don't want to hear any noises that might spook me!

6- I like to eat dinner leftovers for breakfast. When I was younger I used to microwave onions with butter and salt on them for breakfast or have mozzarella sticks dipped in peanut butter.
Well, that's me. Hope I haven't scared you off.
Now I tag...

Thanks for playing along. What I find interesting about this tag is that when you read others quirks, it reminds us that we may have same or similar ones. Like going to bed with the tv on or the grocery store sorting, that is me too.

I sort the stuff on the canvyor belt at the grocery store too. It make it easier to put away when I get home. We're so glad you have a blog now. We can keep in touch more. We miss your family and wish we could see you more than just the occasional holiday when we make it to Utah. By the way - Emma's Halloween pictures were so CUTE! Girls are fun!

I love the sheets thing! I am the SAME WAY and Brian gives me grief every night when I straighten everything out.....just so I can get in and mess it all up again. :o) Welcome to the blogging world!

Alisa said...

I am totally the same way at the grocery conveyer belt. It's funny to see how many other people are the same way. I'm glad you've got a blog. Now I can "see" more of you. I'm off to respond to your "tag". (Can I only list six? Yes, I'm that quirky.)

I absolutely love the name of your blog -- you're so creative. I'm very impressed you did you blog so quickly -- weren't we just talking about you getting one like last week! I guess us old dogs can learn new tricks!!!
