Quirk Tag

Nobody ever tags me on those cute little "3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals. . ." tags, and my friend Susan just tagged me with the "quirk tag" where you have to write about 6 of your quirks. So I've spent the last day and a half pondering my quirky qualities. Thanks, Susan, I'm feeling really good about myself :-)

I asked Russ for help and he said, "you can only write about six of them?"

Anyway, it really has been fun to think about. Here goes:

1. Andra reminded me that I hate it when people substitute K for C. Like "kozy kabin" or "kiddy korner". I just think it's a KRuddY thing to do :-)

2. I make myself feel totally responsible for the outcomes of sporting events. You know when the Diamondbacks won the world series? Its because I noticed that when I left the room they played much better. When I would come in the room to watch, they would play badly. So you can thank me for staying out of the room so Gonzalez could hit that base hit and win the game! And they didn't even send me a thank you note!!

3.I am a little bit of a germophobe. My kids have to wash their hands after school and pretty much anytime they come home from anywhere. I think this comes from staying up night after night with sick little kids. If handwashing is all we can do to prevent sickness, then darn it, we're going to do it religiously! I also clean the bathrooms every day and have to force myself to not do it twice a day. I love a clean bathroom.

4. I do not deal well with stress. At all. And there's probably 50 or so quirks that stem from this!

5. I can't go to bed without doing the dishes. But this combined with my obsessive bathroom-cleaning doesn't mean my house is clean. Well, it is clean germ-wise, but it is VERY "kluttery"so it never looks clean.

6. I stay up really late. And then I wonder why I'm so tired all the time. Duh.

Now I tag the poor souls who are in Primary with me, and could probably add lots of my quirks to this list: Jessica, Jane, Mia, & Adriane.
