MY WEIRD QUIRKY THINGS

Several of my fellow-bloggers have listed some quirky things about themselves, and even though I know it started as a tag, I decided to list some weird and quirky things about me.

1. I too have to load the dishwasher "just so". When I was a kid I used to wash dishes the same way. I would line them all up on the counter - plates first, then glasses, then serving bowls, silverware, and finally pots and pans. At least I would try to do it that way, until my mom would come along and mess everything up by putting some dish she found somewhere into my "plates" water. Sheesh. I had to make an effort to not drain out the water and start over. :0)

2. After I have been shopping to the grocery store, Target, Walmart, Sam's, or even the mall, the first thing I do when I come home is wash my hands with anti-bacterial soap.

3. I think it is so boring to go through my daily routine of showering, putting on make-up, etc. so I put on headphones and listen to books on cd every morning. I also do it at night taking off my makeup and brushing my teeth. It's amazing how fast you can listen to a book when you do it at least an hour and a half a day.

4. I am a true fanatical Harry Potter fan. I have read the books 3 or 4 times and have listened to every book on CD 4 or 5 times so far.

5. I hear tunes in my head all the time. (Not songs you hear on the radio - ones my head makes up. Not full songs, just one or two lines over and over.) I usually do this when I am stressed, and I find my fingers rubbing or tapping the tabletop, pillowcase, chair arm, or some piece of my clothing in tempo. My husband has asked me more than once as we're going to sleep, what I am doing. I don't even realize I am doing it.

6. I like to talk on the phone, but I have a hard time just calling someone and asking how they are doing unless I have a purpose to call. This excludes my parents, who I do call and just ask how they are doing. When I call them, sometimes I hardly even do any talking and just listen to how they are doing.

7. I think that if you have a problem making it through a movie because you always drink a soda and have to pee, that if you get a frozen coke (icee) you will be able to make it all the way through the movie, because the coke has to first unfreeze before it can be turned into pee.

8. I will never play a piano solo again. I will acompany someone or a choir or congregation but will not play a solo.

9. I eat oatmeal every single morning. And I love it.

10. I hate ward socials. I actually really just hate socializing at any organized events.
