Quirky, quirky me.

My sister, Rebecca tagged me to do this so, here it goes:

The Rules:

Link the Person who Tagged you.

Mention rules on your blog.

Tell about 6 quirks of yours.

Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same.

Leave a comment to let them know.

1. I dissect all candy that I eat. KitKats are broken apart then the chocolate around the edges is eaten before I separate the wafers and nibble them slowly and individually (I do the exact same thing to Nutter Butters, too). Also, for Reese's, I eat the chocolate around the edge first then peel it off the bottom then top and eat the peanut butter last. I do this to Snickers, 3 Muskateers, York, Tagalongs (girl scout cookies)...everything. I even sort Nerds, M & Ms and Skittles and eat them all by color...it's very odd, I know.

2. I, like Rebecca, hate all hair that is not currently attached to someone's body. I hate showers, pools, floors. I wear sock and/or slippers at all times while in my house. I do not swim in pools and I refuse to clean my own bathroom; my husband has to do it. Earlier this week, the drain in my shower completely stopped flowing andI had to clean out the drain. I almost puked..all that hair...*shivers*.

3. I count incessantly. I count steps, tiles and stairs. I am always couting the lines used to make something, eg. the cuts needed to make the square shapes on the front of the pulpit in the conference center, during General Conference talks. I also constantly run my fingers along the edges of my finger nails (they are very square) and count over and over until I reach100. I also count the movements needed to crack my fingers, wrists, elbows and neck, up to 100. Once I reach 100, I start over and do it again..all the time counting. If the number of something does not reach 100, I find ways of counting lines or parts to make it at least add up to the 10s place.

4. All of my clothes, linens, socks, etc. have to be folded the same way. The seams, lines and size of all of the same kinds of objects must be identical. (Shirts all match, jeans all line up, towels are all the same exact size.) Also, they all have to face the same way in my drawers, no just dropping things in...it all has to be precisely organized.

5. I refuse to put vegetables on my plate until I have eaten everything else. I will eat my meal then eat vegetables before I take any seconds. I do this to keep the juice from the vegetable from running into the other food. Asparagus is especially bad.

6. I always check my shower for spiders before I get in. I look all over both sides of the curtain, all in the tub, the walls of the shower, around the bottles and behind the shower rack; it all has to be searched to ensure that a spider isn't going to crawl up my leg or drop on my head during the shower.

I tag Jennie W. , Carolyn D., and Kat H. and that's it cause they're the only friends I have who blog.

Ok, your counting thing is a bit quirky. It's funny how we have so many things we consider quirky in common. Must be our upbringing!
