Quirks

Here is a Tag titled the 6 quirks of Trish:

1. I like things symetircal. Balanced. There was a quilt someone was making in the store today and they only had three of the four sides of a star. What was supossed to be the fourth side was a solid border. Drove me NUTS!! When I eat colored candies like m&m's or skittles I eat evenly by color and evenly distribute which side of my mouth I use to chew them. If one foot has a scratch I have to scratch the other as well my claim is otherwise i'll walk crooked. etc. etc. etc.

2. I like the dishwasher loaded in a very specific pattern. I like specific dishes in very specific places in my dishwasher. Like it will only clean my large plates if they are on the right side or something. Speaking of dishes, I have to wash right to left.

3. I always shave my right leg first.

4. I always turn the radio down as before I shut the car off (and tried to do so the entire three weeks I was without a radio when it was stolen- I kept reaching for the non-existant knob)

5. This one is pretty normal but i'll share anyway: I do not like my foods to touch. I usually eat all of one item then to the next and so on and I rarely drink during the meal. Liquid refreshment is an after thought. I often don't put a drink on the table for dinner and Michael (ever so kindly) reminds me to do so.

6. I like to sleep, as scott would say, "burrito style" I like to be completely wrapped up in covers. Thus the phrase wrapped like a burrito. Also often wrapped inbetween my legs so my skin doesn't touch. I tell Michael either he has to sleep right next to me or far enough away the covers can cover my back. NO AIR. It's cold and I don't like it. Michael claims this causes me to be a blanket hog and I have since replaced tucking the covers under my body by surrounding myself (I mean that very literally) in pillows. Michael often refers to my new method as a barrier. So be it, at least he has his blanket. My only exception is if I get hot I can stick my right foot out of the 'burrito'.

I guess I'll have one more . . . . I like to be tagged but I don't necessarily like tagging others (I'm kind of the same with forwards) who really likes to be IT anyway. So, if you want to do it. do it. :) I would love to hear more of YOUR quirks, I just won't call you by name.

All this time I thought we were partners in "quirky" crime....but I am quite opposite in several ways. I may have to do my own post on quirks!! Yet I will never eat at Taco Amigo without you, for fear that the fries/drinks will disappear before my burger is gone!!! Love ya sis.

We are related - diddo on most of the quirks but the m&m's are a little out there. I will share a quirk about our kids. Nothing worse than bathing them, putting clean clothes on them and then later seeing them on the toilet for a couple minutes. I hate the smell of #2!

I feel for Michael with the whole blanket hog business from the burrito style of sleeping. I've yet to come up with a good solution for Scott. I feel you on the radio thing (nothing worse then getting in the car and then it BLARES you). Maybe I'll do a quirk post. P.S. I got your email and I swear I'll respond.

Ah, this explains some things! Just kidding. If I ever posted my strange quirks you might run screaming. And I don't know if I could limit it to 6...
