Me, Quirky??

I was tagged by my friend, Yvonne to list 6 Quirky things about me. I honestly had a hard time thinking of things that could be considered quirky... After a few days I still couldn't think of much. By this point, I was thinking I must be a pretty normal person and maybe even cool! haha! But then what is considered normal or cool? So with no luck, I asked my husband if he thought any thing I did was quirky...I shouldn't have opened my big mouth! He laughed and started listing off all these things about me that he thought were so weird, like he had a list right there just waiting for me to ask! Geesh! I was thinking, "Ok, ok, you have already named six things....ok, thanks." Anyway, here are quirky things my husband and I came up with:

1. I pick at things...pimples, scars, scabs, sunburns, hang nails, anything that is pickable I pick! And NO, I don't pick my nose...haha! for that I like using a kleenex. That's just gross, we won't even go there! But everything else is fair game! Sometimes I don't even realize I am doing it, until Ryan tells me. "Honey, quit picking at my pimples!"

2. I talk in my sleep. Ryan gets home late from work and by then I have already been sleeping for an hour or two. I like to know when he gets home so I don't worry...(not that I would really know, since I am sleeping!) So when he tries to wake me up, I say weird things to him. For instance: "Did you give Celeste a bath?" (Celeste being my younger sister who is 15 and lives in Rexburg!) "The cookies are still cooking." "The water is shut off." "Did you get the dishes done?" Or sometimes I just stare at him for a long time he says, before I realize where I am. Which those times I can usually remember the next day starting at him, but don't remember some of things I have said.


3. I am easily startled. If I am frightened by a noise or a touch that I wasn’t expecting I always jump, scream, shake, run or sometimes…well, I probably shouldn't go there... So whenever Ryan comes into a room where I am, or comes home he gently calls out to me while knocking on the door “I’m coming in…” so I won’t jump, or scream. And something that kind of goes along with this is, If I sneeze more than twice in a row usually the third sneeze always gets me, I pee my pants...ok, so I went there! It was inevitable. Yes, I pee my pants, not a lot but enough! I know, I know, I seriously have the weakest bladder on the planet, that's what comes with having kids and a mom that has the same problem. It must run in the family! lol. thanks MOM! ;) But you can't judge me on this, sneezing is totally involuntary and so is the pee! "Free the Pee!"




4. Ryan says a quirky thing that happens, that he wished didn’t, is when we play card games or board games... 9 out of 10 times I win. I don’t know how or why, I just do. The first five years of our marriage he seemed ok with it, and it didn’t seem to bother him. BUT then all of a sudden just this one day while we were playing, he literally blew up at me!! I guess it was just one game to many that he had lost and well… I guess I can’t blame him!




5. He says, I eat food weird and too fast. For example, today we grilled some hotdogs today for lunch. After every bite I would tear a little bit of the bread off of the bun and put it on my plate. It’s not that there is too much bun for the hot dog; I just like more meat then bread when it comes to eating hotdogs. And I eat really fast because I grew up with two brothers, and if you didn't get your helping, it was gone in a flash!


Or when I eat a Reeses Peanut butter cup; I eat only the outside and throw the middle away. It’s way too much peanut butter! I guess that’s why they call it a ‘Peanut Butter Cup’??

6. I have two left feet. No, not really but I am constantly running into walls, doors,tables, desks, tripping on stairs, my own feet and falling into people. It's great fun, let me tell you....I mean, I can hold my own on a tennis court, but you bet I am tripping all the way there! Just yesterday, I smashed my toe into a step stool and as I was yelling in agnoy as I tripped and hit the bathroom door on my way down. At least once a day, I bash my foot, elbow or head into something!



Phew! That was really exhausting! It probably was for you too, having to read all of that quirkiness! So take a break and get ready to post your own quirks! Anyone that reads this is tagged by me!!
