My 6 Quirks

One thing I've enjoyed about blogging is reconnecting with old friends (old as in I knew them years ago- OK, there's really not a great way to say this without OLD sounding literal:)).  Anyway, a blast from the past, MM sent me this tag and I thought it was a fun one, so with the help of my dearly beloved family, I've come up with 6 Quirks you may not know about me.

1. I squirm at the site of someone wiggling a tooth.  Wayne has been the one to help our kids pull their teeth out, sometimes with pliers.  I don't go near the action, however the kids have been known to torture me by running up to me wiggling their tooth.  I gag thinking about this quirk.  

2. I have big teeth and purple eyes.   THANKS, Grace!  Here's another....Every now and then I dust off my sewing machine and whip up a sewing project, but for the life of me I can't read a sewing pattern.

 

3.  I call Wesley my boyfriend.  True story.  I also kiss him all over his face as often as I can without making him annoyed with me.  Sounds like a good girlfriend, huh?

4.  I've mentioned this before, but I have a terrible sense of direction.  A recent illustration... I got lost on the way home from church last Sunday.  GPS was having a hard time finding the satellites, so I just kept driving on a scenic road.  I found a nice farm with purple cabbage and made a mental note to come back this week,  so it wasn't so bad.

5.  This one would drive you crazy, Julie K., but if you've ever watched NCIS and have seen Zeta botch English terms by saying things like, "I'm over it, boss." rather than "I'm on it, boss," you'll know how "endearing" this quirk is.  :)  I have been known to botch phrases and such on a semi regular basis.

6. I have a very hard time sitting for a long period of time, unless I have something to do.  ADD? Perhaps.  There's so much going on all of the time at our home that I get distracted or pulled from tasks very easily.  I would call it multitasking except that I find it hard to keep track of my multi tasks- I've been known to burn batches of cookies, but thankfully not the whole kitchen. 

So there you have it.  6 quirks.  I hope to overcome at least a few of these in my lifetime, but will be sad when it's just plain weird to continue #3.   I have to laugh, because unlike MM's hubby, Wayne was more than helpful with this list:):)  He thought preferring diet drinks over regular should have made the list, but I think that's perfectly normal behavior.

I tag.... Holly (another reconnection through blogs), Shayla (uber talented SIL), big sis- Sherry  (1. Posessive about cookie dough), LL (part of the challenge will be coming up with your 3 blessings at the end--I love that part of your blog!), Cheri (b/c I really don't think you can come up with 6:)), and CO Julie (another "Old" friend....she has a way with words.  I'm still chuckling over her last post:).  AmyPete, you'd enjoy this post from Julie's blog).
