So Thanks Niki, this should be fun....
This tag your suppose to list 6 quirks about yourself and then tag 6 more people on their site.
Well I don't know about you all, but I am pretty normal. This is going to be a challenge to come up with any ;)
So after digging long and hard, here is what I came up with:
Quirk 1: I shop name brand against my will. I try to buy the western family, no name brand, Smiths brand,
kroger,
ect, and I just can't do it. I pick it up and will put it back and buy the Del Monte green beans, the
Pilsbury Cake mix, the Kraft
Macoroni and Cheese... get the drift... it is sad, but true, and I know more expensive!
Quirk 2: Along the lines of grocery shopping, this quirk wasn't mine, didn't exist, until living with a man I will call,
mmm Andy, (not to instigate anyone) for 8 years, and then it all started. I have to check the dates on everything from, bread, ketchup, each individual string cheese, to toothpaste - I once bought expired toothpaste! - Which is why that is now on the list. So this anonymous person was obsessed with dates on dairy, things in the fridge, everywhere, and I got used to having to check with him, for him, because I new there would be an
integration after shopping. And now against my will, I still check, even though he won't ask me anymore( I think he knows he
succeeded in training me) It is bad!
Quirk 3: I like my closet organized. I think a lot of people do this, maybe not so quirky, but to me it is a must. I hang my clothes all on the same color of hanger - Black, they have to be the same distance apart, and they are organized by fashion, style, color, sleeve length,
etc. I am not saying that I am always organized and a clean freak, because I am not, and it isn't always in order, but when I put things away, it goes against the nerve to not have it just so and to do organize my clothes!
Quirk 4: When I develop film, I
immediately put it in my photo albums. I hate undeveloped film. I like my pictures in their books, in
chronological order! Small but
defiantly me!
Quirk 5: Wrapping - my family can contest to this... I can't just easily wrap a present. I like to go all out, even for my kids, which I know they don't care about. I mean I make bows, ribbon, the whole
shebang! During Christmas I spend hours wrapping packages with all sorts of decor. When I try to do the basic wrap job, I feel like I am under
valuing the gift. I feel like I took the easy way out! It's a sickness and my hubby knows, there is always a budget for wrapping during the Holidays!
and finally
Quirk 6: I am a perfectionist, but with that said, if it can't be perfect, I don't like to do it. For example, gardening, I was loving it, then I lost my steam, because it wasn't perfect. Flowers died, things didn't look the way I
envisioned,
etc. so even though I really love working in my yard, I would get frustrated and let it go because I didn't like the imperfections. or Like my house this year, with it being up in
ciaos, because of finishing our basement, cleaning never felt clean, among the boxes and crap from the basement in our living space. So sad to say, I wasn't motivated to clean because I could never get the result I wanted. - Don't wish this on yourself - It sucks!
And there you have it! Wasn't that entertaining.
And tag your it - Heather, Marci, Holly, Jill, Katie, and Liz
I took my kids to Fly Me To The Moon 3-D, by myself, knowing full well it could be a disaster. McKelle has been a terror at the movies in the past. And we have avoided taking her for a while now. Kenton thought it was so cool the way everything jumped out at you. He was really cute!
It is always nice in my world to see my little loved ones asleep in the afternoon! I was working, and couldn't hear the kids. I was really worried what I would see when I went upstairs. But when I opened my door, I saw them snuggled together asleep, and my heart just melted!
I think they were watching a movie and the impossible happened. I just love that they are becoming friends. They are so cute to watch together.
Well it's because I don't have one of these baby's. When we first started dating, Lance had just purchased a very nice Canon Film camera, $$$$ - so it has been really hard for us to then invest in a digital one too. Because we will want one with all the bells and whistles.
