10 Of My Quirks

Well, this is a lot like the 25 things about me where you tag people, etc. Only this one is a little bit different. Instead of saying where you live, what state your hair is in, etc. you will share bizarre little things about yourself. Maybe you have some guilty pleasures, maybe you have some OCD that you desperately try to hide, whatever the case may be this is your chance to spill it. Let's all remember to be honest, not to judge, and to have some fun being able to embrace our oddities and laugh at ourselves. Thought this might be a nice mid-week tension reliever.

So please, if you are tagged, copy and paste this entire post. Then replace my quirks with your own and tag up to ten people, unless you have A LOT of quirky friends then tag em all!!! Have fun!

1) I hate fruit scented things, I prefer to smell like nothing or a light scent of herbs or flowers.

2) I hide chocolate and other little treats around the house. This drives my husband nuts. The fact of the matter is that years back I had a diabetic boyfriend that did not take care of himself. I, having a horrible sweet tooth would regularly have something sweet around, so I started hiding it for his own good. Now, I think I do it cause it is my ONE indulgence being that I no longer drink, smoke, party, drink pop, etc. If I forget to hide it my husband eats the whole thing. Sometimes I think it would be kind of funny what people would find in this house if I died. Ha!

3) I have an odd fascination with forensics, and murder and crime documentaries. Not Hollywood CSI but Snapped and Forensic Files. If Bill Curtis narrates it, I want to watch it.

4) I have a very sick sense of humor. I almost always think of the double side to most comments. I'm such a pervert, I can't help it, my own mother was always like that. It's permanently ingrained, though I mostly keep it to myself when I need to or it's inappropriate.

5) I love giving gifts to people that do not expect it. I like to give things to people always. Not even something fancy or expensive. I have run into a few people that were thoroughly freaked out by this.

6) I can smell everything, always. It is a curse. Though my nose has solved some mysteries and has caught a few people in lies before too. I wish it was not the case but I smell EVERYTHING!

7) I do not have "shows," like most people. I just really have no interest in most of the popular shows, PLUS I have a toddler and trying to watch almost anything can be very frustrating so I just watch old reruns and such when I catch them after bed time or nap time etc.

8) I am anal retentive about organizing. My house is NOT always clean or spotless but my brain works like a puzzle and I like things to fit together or to be easily accessible for highest living efficiency. I thought I got better with time but last time I had a friend here who wasn't like that and she looked in one of my closets, she was completely boggled.

9) I almost never answer my phone. I call people as I need to or I filter calls according to my mood and energy. I have always been like this but I think it's worse now because trying to talk on the phone with a toddler is often more trouble than it's worth.

10) I hate to waste anything. I have started to feel like an old lady at times regarding this issue. The last time I went out to eat with my sister I took all the clean unused paper napkins, the unopened butter pats, and wrapped the uneaten bread from the bread basket in a napkin and put it all in my purse to take home. I will not take things that would still be on the table and used like individual jellies, ketchup, etc. Only the things that will get needlessly tossed after I leave. Sounds silly but makes a lot of sense to me?

Now I am tagging Stacy of Squirrel Chatter, e-goose, Cheryl from Red Pens & Diapers, Angie from Wylie Mom, Martha from A Sense Of Humor Is Essential, Jenn from Living On A Whim, Nadine from In Blue Ink and Berrybird from Lake Loop.
