As we headed out last night to meet our friends I quickly grabbed a pen and paper. When I got in the car I told Jeremy that in the last 2 weeks both Amy and Stephanie had tagged me with a meme to blog 6 or 7 random or quirky things about myself. I explained that I haven’t had a chance to sit and think of any and could he help me?
He started laughing and said, “Well you have come to the right place! Do you want me to start naming them off for you alphabetically?” (Smarty-Pants!)
1. I can’t even look at wet hair in a drain. Even if it’s mine it makes me GAG! I will not touch it…EVER!
2. Switchplates with multiple light switches on them all need to be going the same way when I turn out the lights. Preferably down. And yes, I will walk across the room to flip a lone switch if it means the multiple one will be “right”. We have a few in this house that don’t ever match up when the lights are off. I try not to think about them.
3. Driving. (Jeremy had several under this category, but there is only one that I agreed was quirky.) I run my errands so that I only have to make right turns. If I am out and Jeremy calls me to pick something up for him, but I’ve already driven down that side of the road, he’ll have to wait until next week or do it himself. That may sound cruel, but if you’ve ever been down Hwy 78 you would understand why I am not risking my life to make a left hand turn to go back to Blockbuster Video. It’s a matter of safety, People!!!
4. I hate to be late and to be on time is to be LATE!!! I leave extra early to go places “just in case” something happens. Jeremy wouldn’t dream of leaving a minute before 5 minutes after we were supposed to have left! Then he tries to make up time on the road!!! This is why we generally show up places in 2 separate vehicles.
5. I have to follow recipes exactly as they are written. I can’t imagine omitting an ingredient or throwing something else in on a whim. Also, I cannot add fractions so doubling a recipe is nearly impossible for me. Most times that I need twice as much, I have to make 2 batches.
6. I don’t start and finish one book before picking up another one. At any one time I could have 4 or 5 books going. It depends on my mood which one I pick up at night to read.
7. Do not, and I repeat DO NOT, open the shower door if I am in there and have gotten it nice and steamy warm already. I will, without a doubt, give you an icy glare twice as cold as the arctic air that just blew in on me!!!
Want to join in the fun and list some random, quirky things about yourself? Leave me a comment and let me know when yours is up. C’mon…ya know ya want to!

Oh Girl! #2 is so like me! Of course, I admitted to the entire free world I sort my silverware in the dishwasher.
Thanks for playing along!
Doesn’t everybody sort their silverware in the dishwasher?
It’s about time – Just kidding! I was cracking up at your answers. The hair in the drain – I can understand, but you would hate me these days! The “only right turns” thing is really wierd. I love ya’, but that’s just crazy. But the hot shower – who can blame you? Fun answers!
We have much in common. I also hate to be late and have a billion books going at the same time and have proven over and over I must NEVER stray from the recipe. So not a good idea.
Have a great weekend,
Laura
I’m so with you on the right turns! And I go out of my way to find gas stations and shopping centers that have a light to help me get back out on the road.
And the fractions — me, too! But instead of figuring out the math, I wear myself out scooping. Instead of 3/4 x 2 = 1.5, I’ll do six scoops with the 1/4 cup. Of course, it is harder to keep count of all those scoops now that I have a little helper :)
Right turns? Is that the same as making a circle? Doing everything on the right side then coming back and doing what was the left?
