Quirk Tag

I have been tagged. Thanks BriAnne!

The rules are to list 6 quirks that I have.



1. I can listen to the same CD (or song for that matter) over and over again. Cal can not do this, he needs change, but if I love the song/CD that I am listening to, I can listen to it forever.

2. I love lipstick. I love how it adds a splash of color to my face.
Now that natural, nude, or glossy, are the "in" thing for lips, I find myself on a lipstick hunt for the perfect "nude" lipstick. I will probably buy about 15 to 20 lipsticks that I think will work, and then end up not using them more than once, until I find the perfect shade.

3. In our bathroom, we have two soap containers. One that is for liquid soap, and then a soap holder for bar soap. Now here is the quirk, I can't have any color but white soap for the bar soap. I know, I know, so weird. I don't care about the color of soap that we shower with, that can be blue, green, tan, it does not matter, but the bar soap in the soap holder by the sink, has to be white.

4. This is a recent quirk that I just realized that I have. It is not that I have just realized that I have been doing it, no, I have been doing it for quite some time, however, I have just recently realized that it is a "quirk" and I am trying to turn it around, and not have it happen anymore. I am a pessamist. I have always thought of myself as a happy person, one who always looks for the positive in everything, and I still do. I do look for the positive in things, but only after I have already thought of all the gloom and doom that will happen first. For example, say we are going on long road trip. Before I think about the beautiful drive, the fun music we can listen to, the fun company and conversations that will be had, and all the memories that we will make, I will first imagine us getting in a car accident, or getting pulled over, or having to drive in a big snow storm and sliding around on a patch of ice. Gloom and doom I tell you, Gloom and doom!

5. I am pretty sure that I have mentioned this already here, however, it is definitely a quirk that is worth mentioning again, and I am going to add to it as well. The quirk is that "Everything has a place and everything is in it's place". I would consider myself an organized person, but really, things need to go where they belong! There is a place for almost everything in our home, and that is where it goes. That is where we go to look for it, and that is where it needs to be put back so that we can find it again when we need it.
Something to go along with this is that Cal and I don't really keep things. We usually throw things away if we have not used them for a while, or if they just are taking up space without being helpful. This however, sometimes gets us into trouble....like the time we wanted a new monitor for our computer, so we decided we would save the "old" one for a minute or two in our storage closet, (just in case). After several months of using our "new" monitor, we decided that the old one was taking up space and took it to D.I. I kidd you not, not even 24 hours later, our nice "new" monitor broke, and we ended up having to buy a new one, since our "old" one was now property of D.I. Oh, well, it was almost totally worth it since we did not have it taking up space in our storage unit...doing nothing! Ha!


6. Thanks to a little reminder from Cal, I remembered quirk # 6. It is our bed. It is not the bed that is the quirk, but how it is made. First of all, our bed has to be made every single day. No exception, well, I guess there could be an exception, and that is if someone is sick and needs to be in it during the day. Also, I just like it made a certain way, We have 15 pillows that go at the head of our bed, and I have to admit, I like them placed in a certain way and a certain order. Call me crazy or weird, but that is the way it is. Let's just say that I am pretty much the only one that makes the bed in our house, because I am just that picky.

So there you go. 6 big, weird quirks of mine, right out there in the open.

I was going to tag a couple people, but I thought that this was fun, and if you want to put your quirks out there, for everyone to read, give it a go!
