My sister Karrie blog-tagged me and I am supposed to write about 6 quirky (quirk, noun, a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism) things about myself and then tag 6 other bloggers. While I had to think long and hard (about 2 seconds) to come up with any quirks I possess, here goes:
1. I have a nervous habit of picking my eyelashes. No kidding - I am usually sporting at least one eyelash bald spot at all times.
2. I have to walk around the house every morning before I leave for work and say aloud as I check each socket: "Curling iron unplugged", "Iron unplugged" (whether I have used it or not that morning) to feel confident that the house will not burn down while I am away. (Nevermind the fact that both my curling iron and iron have auto shutoff features (a must-have in an OCD household)).
3. Along the same lines as #2 above, at least 3 of the 5 work days I have to turn around to go back and check that I have indeed closed the garage door - even though I know I have because I have audibly verbalized to Maggie "Garage door closed" as I watched it go down. (At 15 months, could Maggie already think her mom is a little loony? She might be right.)
4. I like corn as a whole, just not floating in my soup or hanging out in my rice as an individual kernal.
5. I prefer to write with a fine point Sharpie - perhaps this has something to do with my subconscious inner celebrity. I don't know.
6. According to my husband, I look at life through rose-colored glasses. Is this a bad thing?
7. Bonus quirk: I love to eat Macaroni and Cheese mixed with ketchup. Much yum. Try it.
So there it is - the stuff that makes me me. So now it's my turn to tag and I tag: (in no particular order)
Kylie
Jessica
Jenny
Dana
Kym
Maria
Riggins

U R a weirdo
You are definitely OCD. The funny thing is that Laine does some of the exact same things. Though his worry is that the oven or stove top is still on. And he ALWAYS backs up to see if the garage is shut. Drives me nuts!!!
I'll do my post here soon...
Hey anonymous, that's my sister!
You are silly. You verbalizing things to MagB like that will help her vocabulary. So they are teaching me in my literacy classes.
anonymous would be my husband! But I appreciate that you would have my back. Just like the time on the way to Houston when you had my back in the restroom. You are such a good sister!
I thought it might be Michael! Remind him that I have some pent up aggression that I am really needing to get out! hee hee
Bring it!
"Just like the time on the way to Houston when you had my back in the restroom"
Would this be the time when that lady accused you of peeing on the seat?
I actually find this ironic since Karrie has been accused latley of having a flushing disorder!
