Re: What are your quirks??

  • I have to have the bed made before i can sleep... but i rarely make it in the morning.

    I love popping zits too... So when Cj gets them i am all over it! hahaha

    I don't use online bill pay because i love to buy the cute stamps

    i have to have the towels folded a certain way if it is wrong then i redo it

    i have an excel document for a grocery list and it is organized to the lay out of the store I shop at most often =)

    i eat m&m's and skittles in order of the rainbow (roygbiv) and then i save the brown m&m's for last

  • I'm trying to think...

    I know I am pretty weird but nothing comes to mind (b/c its normal to me, lolz).  So I texted C, my sis, and my mom, this is what I got back:

    1)  OCD - I have lists for everything

    2)  I am a minimalist - I get anxious and stressed when I see/have clutter, I cannot sleep if the bedroom is messy

    3)  I am insecure over things I apparently should not be insecure about...

    Hmmm...can't really think of anything else...

  • First the stolen ones:

    I love when Cam is sweaty...It smells good! One of the first things he ever said to me, was "Do I smell?" So I smelled his armpit...

    The volume on anything has to be an even number.

     

    Now for my own:

    I get mad at Cam when he doesn't put my clothes away right, but when I "put them away" i just throw them in the box in my closet.

    I can't go to sleep if my water jug isn't full.

    I have like 100, no exaggeration, notebooks. Not written in, they're just pretty.

    I have a bunch of planners, but rarely use them.

    It makes me nervous to talk on the phone.  

  • Here is what I can think of at the moment...

    - I am really weird about what I like that is chocolate.  I don't like chocolate for the most part, but I like chocolate frozen yogurt (or Frosties!), brownies (as long as they are not too rich or fudgy), peanut M&M's (but I can only eat like 10 at the most at one time before it's too much chocolate), Reece's Peanut Butter cups (but I only like the mini ones, and I only can eat like one or two), chocolate cake (again - not too rich or fudgy), and that's about it.  I hate chocolate chips (and thus chocolate chip cookies), pretty much all candy bars, anything that is pure chocolate (like Hershey kisses or chocolate bunnies), anything that is dark chocolate or has a bitter cocoa flavor, chocolate sauce drizzled on anything, etc.

    - I don't like coffee at all, but I love the smell of it, and I love being in a coffee house or especially a bookstore that has a coffee shop in it because I love the smell (I really love the smell of books too, so the combo of coffee and books is super happy making for me).

    - I can't sleep if the sheets are not tucked in under the mattress or if it gets all bunchy.  I have been known to wake up in the middle of the night if the sheets feel bunchy to get up and remake the bed so that I can sleep.

    - I don't like my foods to touch or to mix together.  If certain things touch each other, I won't eat the part that is contaminated by the other food.  Because of this, I sometimes use several little plates to eat meals so that my food won't touch.

    - I LOVE fountain Dr. Pepper, but don't really like soda out of cans very much.

    - I don't like wearing shoes without socks (unless it's flip flops), and so there are a lot of shoes that I think are super cute but that I won't buy very much because I can't stand the feeling of most shoes without socks or tights.

    - When I was a teacher, I used to write the date in the upper right corner of my white board, and I used to plan out what color I would use for each month and try to pick colors that "went" with that month (like orange for October, or icy blue for January, red or pink for February, etc).

    - I have an obsession with office supplies.  I LOVE shopping for pens, markers, sharpies, calendars, desk accessories, etc.  When I was a teacher and had an excuse to go buy all this stuff, I was seriously giddy inside the office supply store.  I could spend hours in there picking out the perfect grading pens and markers, stickers (and yes, I taught high school), the best colors for white board markers, etc.  One of my favorite times of the school year was back-to-school shopping, setting up my classroom for the new year, creating seating charts, thinking about how to best organize my year, writing in my day planner, and planning and tweaking my lesson plans.  =)

    I love Pepsi, but only from the can or fountain NOT the bottle, that is just gross

  • -I am the biggest germaphobe you will EVER meet. Having preemies made it about 3 jillion times worse

    -Despite being a germaphobe, I'm a total slob. I HATE cleaning. HATE it. I will do anything to get out of cleaning.

    -I cannot stand when the blankets/sheets are tucked in to a mattress. I'm tall, my feet hang over the edge of the bed. If I'm constrained by the sheets I get angry.

  • The TV volume has to be an even number, unless it's 23

    I have to make the bed in the morning or I feel messy.

    I don't like being barefoot on cold things like cement or tile.

    Towels and t shirts have to be folded correctly

    I can't stand clutter, it gives me anxiety.

    These are two of my worst! And since we have all tile floors in my house, I almost never take my shoes off at home.

     

    Other than those:

    If I'm not walking/talking with someone, I count my steps and try not to step on the cracks in the sidewalk.

    I get frustrated if the dishes aren't put away the way I think is best in the cabinets.

    I reorganize dishwashers so the dishes are in groups and all facing the right way.

    I love baths, but bathtubs make me feel dirty.

    When I am bored I do thumb opposition excercises and rarely realize I am doing it. (EXAMPLE)

    I organize my closets by clothing style (spaghetti strap, tank top, t shirt, long sleeve, day dress, formal dress, party dress, etc.) and then by color but I can't mix my "business shirts" with my "regular shirts" so they are in a different closet.

    Love the taste of bananas, but refuse to eat an actual banana

     I will eat pork, but refuse to eat ham.

    The bed must be made before I go to bed, even though I crawl right in it and mess it all up.

    I cannot sleep unless I go through my "routine"

    I "sleep eat"
