Am I the only one
with weird quirks and behaviors? I know I am not. It struck me this morning that I do have some weird little “things” I do. However, I bet I am not the only one. Here are a few of my quirks that come to mind…at least those I’m willing to share LOL:
1. At the drive-thru, I try to drive quickly to the screen to see what the people in the car in front of me just ordered.
2. Would rather put a beverage in the freezer for 30 minutes than put ice in my glass….too distracting and uneven coldness.
3. When I chew gum, I CANNOT dispose of it unless the last chew produces a “pop”.
4. I’ll wear mix-match socks when I can’t find a matching pair (I’m 35 not 13 and don’t even care about color scheme)
5. I really pronounce mix-match “michmack”…I have a masters degree and don’t feel bad.
Any you care to share? Come on, it’s very liberating:)
Let’s see… I always feel compelled to refold clothes on a display at a store when they’ve been messed up by other customers. When I was a kid I used to have anxiety because the car tires turned forward way more than they ever turned backward and the unevenness of it drove me nuts. I have to rinse my toothbrush in hot water when I’m done brushing, if there is any paste residue on it the next time I brush I have to get a new one.
When does the liberation set in???
YOU KNOW, I MAY HAVE BEEN EXAGGERATING ABOUT THE LIBERATION SETTING IN. BUT AT LEAST YOUR NOT ONLY IN YOUR QUIRKINESS.

Hey first time coming through. This was a cute post. Is it cute enough for me to share MY quirkiness…..hmmmmm, let me think about that one.
I Also pronounce mix match the wrong way. I say ‘mitch-match.’ I have NO clue where that comes from.
I hate wearing socks. I have a TON of them but ONLY wear them in the winter time if I’m wearing something where someone can tell whether or not I have on socks. And I’ll wear them in the house with my slippers if I’m REALLY cold, but that’s about it.
I hate peanuts. They are so nasty to me, but I like snickers.
I hate peanut butter, but love peanut butter cups.
When I vacuum I get irritated when I see feet print in the carpet. I’ll vacuum very strategically so my lines are JUST SO and there are no feet print.
I could go on for days, but everyone would probably think I was looney. Lol

Only on your blog would I come clean like this Safa!
1. I only make my bed regular when I am part of a couple. When I am single like I am now, I only make my bed on bedding change day or when I CLEAN not straighten up my bedroom.
2. One of my greatest fears is what the person at the drive-thru might do to my food so I am over the top polite to all drive thru personnel no matter how slow, dumb, or deaf they appear to be.
3. Even though he is now 18, I still don’t mix my son’s laundry with my own nor do I wash our things together. It started because when he was a baby I kept his things separate and used only Dreft or Downey detergents b/c they are formulated specially for children’s sensitive skin. However, even once I started doing his laundry in the same detergents I use for my own I continued to keep our laundry separate.
4. I cannot stand to eat chicken on the bone nor the skin of the chicken which pretty much makes me a skinless, boneless chicken breast girl or I forego it all together….call me crazy, but I just can’t do it!
Okay, that’s enough…..you’ll probably never visit my spot again now…..LOL!

LOL… this is funny. Ok…
- I CAN NOT sleep with my hands and feet covered. I really cant.
- I am obsessed with doodling figure 8’s and stars
- When I wash dishes I have to stand with one foot propped on the opposite leg’s knee (picture a flamingo)
- As soon as I get home I have to be barefoot… I think my children inherited this one from me.
