1) I MUST sleep with socks on my feet.
2) I constantly have some type of music going in my head, but am often unaware of it.
3) If I had my way, I’d always use the THIRD stall in public restrooms.
4) Don’t make me drink that last sip in the glass – it grosses me out. Well, unless it’s a mixed drink. (What!? Dang. I’m just bein’ honest around here. yeah uh huh)
Name four of your quirkiest quirks.

1. I have to fall asleep with cold pillows and sheets.
2. I will not touch anyone’s feet..
(just thinkin about it makes me squirm)
3. I sleepwalk and talk in my sleep on a regular basis.
4. Getting old totally freaks me out!!!
1. I have to have Friends on as I go to sleep.
2. Ears creep me out. My own ears, others’ ears. All ears. (I’ve been known to clean my ears several times a day.)
3. The number of songs in my iTunes library must always be in multiples of 5. If I finish downloading, and it is not, I will search for more songs until it is.
4. I have two toothbrushes, and use them both daily. It takes me a good 5 minutes (sometimes more) to complete the process of brushing my teeth.
1. I check the locks on all of the doors before I go to bed even if I’ve already locked them.
2. I do not like to have the sponge showing near my sink so I put it in the sink to hide it.
3. I often start my sentences with a Spanish word and finish the rest in English.
4. I won’t eat seafood because alligators live in the water.
I know, right?
1. I still rub the satin like on the tops of blankets or the lining in jackets with my fingers…sometimes I will even buy said blankets or jackets for the satin edges.
2. I am really discussed by and will break up with you as a friend if you talk too much about your bathroom situations.
3. My birthday is on an american holiday.
4. When my husband and I hold hands we lock fingers like my pointer finger in his thumb. Only those fingers. We ALWAYS do this…so this proves to be a problem because whenever I am holding hands with somebody else like for mealtime prayer or helping an old person or kid cross the street or something…I lock fingers with them and they they comment and think I am a freak.
1. TYPING: I can type one handed almost as fast as I can two handed.
2. EYE CROSSING: I can cross one eye, then both eyes, then the other eye like those lizards that swivel their eyes around.
3. DRIVING: I love driving big vehicles. I thought this was normal until I have found that there are people that do not actually like to drive. I do.
4. COMMENTING: I avoid being the first commenter on a post. Just don’t like it. Also don’t like the thirteenth slot either for superstitious reasons. I love love love being the 100th commenter.
This is what I can think of right now:
I CANNOT sleep with socks on my feet, no matter how cold it is.
It makes my stomach hurt when people use bad grammar.
It also makes my stomach hurt when I eat any processed cheese.
And when my kitchen is a mess. I cannot go to bed with dirty dishes anywhere in the house.
1. I snip fuzz balls off of old sweaters just to keep my hands busy while listening to the TV.
2. The whole house is a mess if the floors have not been cleaned…it matters not that everything else is done…the floors must be spotless. (My house is never clean.)
3. I will not use shears on my bushes. It creates dried brown edges on the cut leaves. Yuck. I individually snip each limb until I get the perfect shape. Takes hours and I have MANY bushes.
4. No meal is complete without a salad and it can’t be just lettuce — that’s NOT a salad.
I have issues.
Ok. Seriously. Y’all are weird.
I mean, I love you, but you’re weird.
I’m just sayin.
1. I have to drink milk when eating Peanut M&M’s, unless I am at the movies and then a $4 bottle of water will do just fine.
2. I strongly believe that girls don’t use the bathroom for anything but “powdering”.
3. Before leaving a place, such as the office or the restaurant, I pat all my pockets and chest to make sure I have my keys, wallet, phone and sunglasses (hanging on my shirt).
4. I dislike when people pick lint of my shirt or fold my collar.
I am sure I have so many more (or better ones, for that matter) but at the time-these are the only ones I can think of.
Why did you say that right after mine???
5. I’m extremely sensitive…almost paranoid.
LOL!!!
I was coming back to change the time signature to make sure that it didn’t follow your comment, but, alas, you’ve left multiple comments in it’s wake.
You’re just gonna have to take my word for it. It’s not you, Red… It’s not you!
Ha ha ha! You two are making me laugh.
wait
It’s me isn’t it?!?!
Fine, I’ll take the dig. Just as long as you are not pickin’ on my friend Michelle.
1. I hate wearing shoes.
2. I love to clean out my younger kids noses and ears, and clip their fingernails.
3. I talk to myself, a lot! (o.n.l.y. c.h.i.l.d.)
4. I feel lost without a beverage, but havne’t worn a watch in years.
Thank you, Angie, thankyouverymuch.

(Kids are into Pig Latin these days – it was the first thing that popped into my mind so I thought I’d go with it. After all, Mandy’s motto this week is WHY NOT? Right?
)
1. I have to end on an even dollar amount when I am pumping gas
2. I have to have a clock near my bed because I have to know what time it is when I wake up in the middle of the night. Actually I just need to know if I have time to go back to sleep.
I am sure there are more, I just don’t have time to think about it right now. I’ll come back later.
1. The bed must be made before going to sleep. I cannot sleep in a wrinkly, mess of a bed. My hubby is very patient when I’m yanking sheets out from under his sleepy self in an effort to do this.
2. I always cut off the very ends of enchiladas before eating them – and I love me some enchiladas!
3. I will not go deeper than I can see my feet in any water. In the Gulf of Mexico this means I can go exactly 3.5 inches.
4. Since pumpkin carving season is upon us . . .I hate, hate, hate the smell of pumpkin guts. Nauseating. Must leave the room or breathe through my mouth. Seriously an issue. Cannot eat pumpkin pie because I automatically think of that smell. Ewwww.
@Elizabeth: I can’t sleep with socks on my feet either. The thought repulses me. I hate wearing socks any time I do not have shoes on to accompany them.
It’s almost impossible at this point in the day to narrow my quirks down to only 4! Might use up too much of my remaining brain power and send me to bed at 7:30 instead of 8:30! Ha!
Love,
Jlo
1. I will wash my sheets several times in a row until they REALLY smell like my laundry detergent.
2. I wipe my dog’s butt after she poops…I can’t believe I just admitted that on here…I don’t want poop on my couch or in my bed!
3. I sleep under covers to keep from feeling vulnerable during the night.
4. I can not stand to see some one spit…it makes me gag!
1. I’m incredibly scatty. I will, for example, find my coffee cup in a cupboard somewhere. I will have NO idea who put it there. Or offer my hubby a cup of tea only to realise hours later that I haven’t poured it. The scattiness gets worse – much worse – if I do something righ brained, like paint a picture or something.
2. I don’t do pudding / dessert without coffee. Impossible. And don’t burn the coffee. I can smell if you’ve made it with water that still has bubbles in it.
3. I nod off in any moving vehicle if it’s nice and warm in there.
4. @ mandy – also have music in my head most of the time. Think in lyrics some of the time and God speaks to me like that, too. Unlike you, I don’t have the creativity to make it up myself…
err righ brained = right brained
1. I hate the outdoors but love fresh air. I stay in the house and open the windows. But I love camping. Go figure.
2. I can’t step on cracks in the sidewalk, and if I do it with one foot by accident I have to do it with the other foot. It’s an unconscious thing I noticed one day. WAY weird.
3. I cannot drink my milk without gulping. Jake points this out to me everytime. I mean, I CAN, but it’s very hard for me. Seriously.
4. I have an obsessive compulsive urge to pick, everything. Even if it’s not on myself, I will pick it on YOU. YOU being anyone in front of me that I know well enough to reach over and pick something on.
Jake is usually my victim. The boys have had to endure this a time or two as well. Pick or pluck actually. This weird trait is probably most annoying to me of all of them. I hate it.
1 – i’m early.
2 – i play christmas music in august (but we’ve already talked about that)
3 – i have to set two alarms (not because i’m a heavy sleeper, just because i want two options)
4 – scented candles make me hungry.
oh i forgot the best one.
when i watch a dvd i have to put the subtitles on. the english ones. im not sure why. and i can watch movies with the sound off and the subtitles on too if i want.
oh – and here’s a funny game – watch a movie that you know well (and can quote) with the spanish or french subtitles on and go to town trying to quote your favorite movie channeling juan valdez.
um… i’m with you on the last sip thing – it’s ALL backwash… NAST!
1. Toilet paper MUST “flap” over and down so that if I need it, I can just hit the roll and VOILA, paper.
2. I create new words to every song I know and sometimes sing them outloud, therefore ruining songs for everyone around me. This is bad, since I usually do this with worship songs.
3. I HAVE to blow my nose in the shower.
4. My flat sheet MUST be folded over my comforter at all times, sleeping or not, or I’ll have an anxiety attack and freak out… mostly on my poor husband.
Um… yeah… I think I may be borderline.
1. When writing, I always have to have three examples in my sentences (idea 1, idea 2, and idea 3) – even when 2 or more than 3 are more appropriate.
2. When eating colored candy/food (skittles, m&m’s), I separate the colors and eat one of each color at a time, somehow saving the smallest number til the last few rounds
3. I must grab 3 pieces of paper towels when drying my hands after washing them. It doesn’t matter the size or thickness, it has to be three.
4. I’m with Jenni, I blow my nose in the shower… it’s even gross to me, so I apologize to all.
1. Ice must be cold.
2. Rain must be wet.
3. Boiling water must be hot.
4. Grass must be green.
1. have to brush my teeth with warm water
2. can keep a single song on repeat all day while i’m working
3. i have to throw my head back when i swallow pills
4. two weeks. enough said.
