quirks

I was tagged by my sister-in-law Nicole to blog six of my quirks.  At first when I started thinking about it, I was having a hard time coming up with six.  I asked Brooke to help me out, but he is a smart guy, he immediately said that I didn't have any quirks.  Well, this weekend the flood gates opened and I was thinking of all kinds of quirks that I have.  Here are six of them:

1. Condensation on cups in warm cars.  It doesn't bother me if I have a glass of ice water sitting out on the counter for a while and it starts to get a condensation build-up.  Now, take that same glass of ice water, but it in a warm car for a few minutes, come back to it and I want nothing to do with it.  It isn't like I won't drink it, I just usually wipe the outside off first.  I guess I just don't like getting dripped on.

2. Water from the sink.  Yes, I am a water snob.  Not to say I always have to have bottled water, I just like it to be filtered.  I really don't like drinking water from a sink or anywhere else that has water with a funny taste or smell.

3.  Expiration dates.  I don't like to eat or drink food if it is at all past its expiration date.  Yes, I know it is really just a sell by date and it won't kill me to eat or drink it...i just don't like to.

4.  Gristle.  I HATE eating any gristle on meat.  It sends shivers up my spine and ruins the piece of meat.  Brooke always makes fun of me when I dissect any meat I am eating.  I always trim around the whole piece of meat, even if there doesn't appear to be any gristle.  It may look gristle free, but I know it is there.  I don't just cut the gristle off, but i cut into the meat near the gristle a bit, just to insure no gristle has seeped into the meat.  I'll never get any fast food with chicken in it because i don't trust that they have cut out all the gristle.

5.  Water on my face and in my eyes....and up my nose.  So, I guess my face has issues with water.  I don't like surprise splashes in my face.  I have a hard time holding my whole face under the shower and if i do manage to do that, i have to plug my nose.  I always have to plug my nose and close my eyes if I am going under water.  

6.  Contacts.  I don't like to take my contacts out until JUST before i go to bed.  Brooke is always trying to get me to take them out a little before we go to bed, but i won't.  I don't like to lay down with my glasses on.  usually in the evening we relax on the couch and catch up on our recorded TV shows.  At some point I usually lay down so leaving my contacts in is just easier and makes more sense.

So, that is it.  Six of my quirks.....i have many more, but i will just stick to the six.  I now tag Marcey, Mindi, Stephanie and Melissa. (If you have already done it, don't worry about doing it again)
