It's Nestie Night! What is the weirdest thing about you?
We've all got our little quirks that make other people go, "huh?!"
I have two. Whenever I put ice cubes in a glass myself, it has to be an odd number, typically 5 or 7. I just cannot bring myself to drink a drink if I know it's not an odd number of ice cubes in there. If someone else pours me a drink, I can drink it fine, as long as they don't specifically say, "I put 4 ice cubes in there" which Jason usually does just to annoy me. My second weird thing is that I love peanutbutter and cheese sandwiches. It sounds gross, but it's so good lol.
So what's the weirdest thing about you?

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermME TOO!! Joe thinks I am sooo weird lol. I'm a big texture fan, I cannot eat/drink certain things b/c of their texture lol.
I'm bloody insane when it comes to grocery shopping
1. I cannot just go to one place to get all our groceries. I know this market has better pork and chicken, but another has better beef. Another market also has my favorite local eggs. There are also a few pantry items I will not buy anywhere but Trader Joes, because you can't get that quality for that price anywhere else. Basically I drive myself and DH nuts with trying to achieve this ultimate goal of the best product in town for the most reasonable price, if it means my whole sunday afternoon.
2. Loading groceries onto the belt. There is a very strategic method to belt placement of fruits, dairy, meats and baked goods. If DH is loading and I'm stuck behind the cart, unable to help, I go insane inside. I don't trust baggers to bag to my standards (on rare occasion one does and it makes my day), so I have to lay it out for them exactly the order they should be bagged.
Okay, now you all know I'm absolutely insane
I too have food issues...major texture issues..No oatmeal..no eggs...and no chunky drinks
I do not eat meat on a bone...my food cannot touch...and I eat my veggies first then my starch...then my meat..
I love the fact that my hubby is quirky too...not so much with food but with everything else LOL
I do this too! And it drives me crazy when they still don't bag stuff correctly. I even think about the size of the bags and make sure to group stuff to fill each bag. It should be easier for them, but for some reason about 50% of the time they do it wrong. I confess that I have been known to stand there by my cart and re-sort the stuff in the bags if they do it wrong. Anal, I know. But I don't want my tomatoes to be in the same bag as canned goods!
Another of my quirks is that I have to have equal feeling on both sides of my body. For example, if someone touches me on one arm then I have to immediately touch the same spot on my other arm.
I'm positive it is not my strangest quirk, but I also have to place my items on the belt just so. And I am annoyed when they still cannot manage to pack them appropriately.
I blow my nose like a trumpet - not exactly lady like.
I hate talking on the phone. I really have to be in the mood - or it has to be my friend Kate in OR because I hardly ever get to talk to her.
I hate audio-guides at museums and I refuse to use them. It irritates me when half a dozen people are standing in front of something listening to the guide but looking at the words on the wall and have no idea that they are completely blocking my view.
I'm sure there is a dozen other things I'm not thinking of, but that just makes me me.

Married Blog (seriously lacking)
When I burp, I actually say the word "Burp."
I'm quite sure there are about 300 things werider than that about me, but I can't think of anything until I actually do it
Considering DH gives me weird looks all the time, I'm sure it will come up soon lol
Oh I know I'm strange.
-I'm also a specific belt loader, and if possible, I will bag my own groceries. I bag according to where they get put away (pantry, fridge, fruitbowl, etc).
-I'm big with textures. While I like the taste of yogurt (usually), the smoothness makes me want to gag. I have to eat it with fresh berries or granola, so I can chew it.
-I adore wrought iron. And the feel of wet wrought iron makes me want to vomit.
-I hate to be on the phone. I hate to answer the phone, I hate to make phone calls. If I can do whatever it is online, I will in a heartbeat, even if it takes longer. I think it's the small talk and awkward silence that can happen. The pressure of feeling like I have to carry the conversation.
-We bring our own "bank" to work, and it has to be the same every day, to start. Two $5s, nine $1s, three quarters, a dime, two nickels and 5 pennies.
-I hate brushing my teeth. I mean obviously I do it, but I just don't like it, it's like dusting or sweeping.
-I love the smell of bleach. I own white towels specifically so I can bleach them. It just smells so clean.

-It drives DH insane, but I have to go down every single isle in the grocery store, in order. Once we are past a certain item, even if it is in the same isle, i refuse to go backwards. Sometimes DH will sneak & go back. lol
-I make a list for everything. Even if it isn't important. I just enjoy making them.
-I also hate to brush my teeth, but I can't stand to feel anything on them. So i brush about 3 times a day...even though it gags me every time.
-If there is anyway possible for me to avoid a telephone call, I will do it. Sometimes I pretend to not know where my phone is when its time to order a pizza, just so DH will use his phone to call. But, I just downloaded a papa johns pizza app to my iPhone, so I can order from my phone without actually having to talk to a person.
-I have to shake my sheets before bed every night. But, I always end up still having crumbs of some sort under me and I have to lift my body up and rake them out over & over until every single thing is gone. Sometimes I think I imagine it, because DH never feels anything.
-I could write a whole section about my food weirdness, but I won't. I will just say..nothing can touch, I eat one thing at a time, and I chew each bite about 15 times.
I am sure I have many more weird things, but this shall do for now.
Being new here I thought I'd jump in and share about my weird-ness! (break the ice a little)
I have an issue with drains (all drains) cant stand on or be near the drain in the shower, hubby cant touch the drain either or I freak out lol same goes for pool/sinks/ storm drains when were walking. they just make me uncomfortable.
I can't stand when my food touches other food on my plate...such as bacon and syrup from the pancakes....it just bothers me in my mind it messes up the flavor of whatever is touching each other...
When we buy can goods all the labels HAVE to be facing out... so you can see each one...same goes for when we put beer in the refrigerate and other odds and ends around the house...
And I think that will do it for now...
My MOH does that! I thought she was the only one. She also eats escargo and tried to make me eat dried crickets telling me they taste like sunflower seeds. I didn't buy it, and didn't try it. Bleh...
My wierdest thing is my memory. I can remember obscure things from years ago, like what I was wearing when I met certain people, but I can't remember a phone # long enough to dial it. It kils my husband! He tells me important things and I honestly forget all about them the next day. I tell him to write it down, but he never does and still complains that I don't remember anything lol
Dried crickets do taste like peanuts! In fact most of the edible insects do.
- I will eat anything! Any texture, taste, ect. Food is too good to be picky! I don't understand picky eaters at all!
- I need to double check that my apartment door is locked before going to bed. Otherwise I will sit up wide awake until I check it. It's only when going to bed for the night though. I can have daytime naps without needing to check the door.
This one is fun! I don't really have a lot of weirdness that I can think of off hand.
- I eat grilled cheese with Jelly. It's so yummy and the only way I can eat it!
- I am obsessed with cooking gadgets, utensils, electronics, but I HATE cooking. I avoid it at all costs.
- I remember almost every song I have ever heard. I have a horrible memory, except for when it comes to songs.
I cannot lay on my stomache. No matter where I am, I can't lay that way. I've never had any trauma or known anyone who has, but it's a serious fear that causes me to be a weirdo. I have a fear that someone is going to jump on my back and crush my ribs/chest. Sometimes I'll mindlessly lay on the floor that way and within seconds I pop up and I literally find myself looking around as if someone was behind me about to crush me.
I also can't walk over storm drains, or the storm doors on the city streets. I always know I'll be the one to fall through them. I will literally wait my turn until the sidewalk is clear before I'll walk over the drains. I also will jump over them, or take a ridic long step to reach over them.
Weird - oooooh!
I am late on this one but I have a few...
I will not, eat "shelf meat," for example, spaghetti sauce with the meat already in it, spaghetti o's with meatballs, etc. It just totally grosses me out.
Like many of the other girls, I also do not eat meat on a bone. I will eat a steak with a bone in it, but I don't eat chicken on the bone. I used to hate my food touching but now I just can't have my salad touch my main food or my main food touch my dessert.
