Here are the rules: Link the person who tagged you. Mention the rules on your blog. Tell about six of your quirks, and tag six fellow bloggers to do the same. Then leave a comment to let them know they've been tagged.
Sounds pretty easy. You mean I only have to mention six? OK, here goes nothing:
- Anyone who knows me very well can tell you that I have a very difficult time making decisions. Just ask my husband about remodeling our home in California. When it came time to paint the outside of the house, he decided he would try to expedite the decision making process by convincing me this was an easy decision that could be made by looking at a small paint chip from the store. He assured me I would be happy with the color. Besides, it's only paint...if we hate it, we'll just re-paint. Bad decision. The house looked like a big peach. We re-painted. After the peachy color disaster, we settled on a nice Cape Cod look of grey, white, and navy blue. So if you can imagine the decisions that go into a remodel, you'll understand Bob's frustration. We made it through the whole process and were happy with the results, then we got transferred and built a home.....AAUGH!
- I fall asleep with the TV on. It's like a sedative to me. They say you shouldn't do it, but I do. It's actually pretty dumb too, because at some point I fall asleep only to be awakened by it to turn it off.
- I'm a little anal about drying the shower. Yes, we have a squeegee, but I have to take a towel and dry the whole thing out. We moved into a fixer-upper in California and the hard water had really done a number on the shower tiles. I swore I'd never let our new shower look that way. Thus my decision to dry the shower.
- I can't talk about blood. I do fine when I have shots, but when my blood is being sucked into a tube via a needle, you'd better be ready to catch me. I've gotten much better at having my blood drawn, but have yet to plop myself onto a cot voluntarily and have more than a tube drawn. It makes me weak just thinking about it. And PLEASE don't show me the veins in your arms!
- I don't like to wear shoes in the house. I'll put socks on my feet, but never shoes. Unfortunately, my DH and I don't share this same little quirk. Does he know where those shoes have been???
- I'm a little obsessed with dental floss. I always have it with me. I LOVE to floss.
So this was probably a little TMI, but there you have it. Trust me, there's a lot more where those came from. I hope to read your lists revealing your quirks. If you'd like to join in, I'd like to tag: Kimberly, Robyn, Michael, Susie, Purple Diva, and Christie...or anyone who would like to play along.

Oh, Mom! You are so funny! You know how I told you our water heater, downstairs is broken? Well, I have been showering upstairs and the first time I showered, my automatic pilot turned on, and I immediately began drying down the entire shower with my towel. Look what you've done to me...I'm ruined for life...ha ha! Also, I can't fall asleep without the TV on too. Devon thinks it's so weird, but unless he is in bed with me, I have to have the t.v. on. I don't know, it soothes me or something. We are so much alike, it's hilarious!
Ha ha. I have inherited some of your quirks...but I HATE drying out the shower. By the way, I know I'm probably stupid, but what does DH stand for? I know it's your husband, but what do the actual letters mean? Also--I have about 20 tags I've never gotten to...not sure why...just don't cross your fingers. I'm too much of a procrastinator! I like this one, though, so I'll try to do it!
Ugh, I just left a comment, and it disappeared. Anyway, I'm sad that I missed the "peach" house disaster, but those people were too kind to REPAINT the WHOLE THING for you. I can just imagine what you were thinking as you saw the "peach" color going up...
That story makes me think of the time we were TV shopping and I told you not to say anything so that you wouldn't discourage dad from buying the big screen that I knew we needed so badly!
Also, the other day we moved our kitchen table over to a neighbor's house for a dinner we were having together, and the first thing I thought when the table was gone was how easy it would be to mop the floor without the table in the way. I'M CURSED FOREVER.
I LOVE that you fall asleep with the tv on. I do that every. single. night. Only if you set the timer, it will automatically turn off while you're peacefully sleeping. Try it. You'll thank me.
Also, totally with you on the floss and shoes in the house thing. I HATE wearing shoes in the house. My dad is just like Bob - I think it must be a thing from that side of the family. Some of my brothers are the same way.
I can relate to the whole shoe thing for sure. I don't know why anyone would wear shoes when you don't have too. I loved hearing about you quirks, thanks for participating.
I am so with you on not wearing shoes. I don't even like wearing shoes outside. My grandma davis has to fall asleep to the T.V, I cannot fall asleep unless the T.V is off and the kids are ALL alseep!!!
Thanks for playing. I thought I didn't know you anymore. Your comments about the vampires not fighting. It totally shocked me. You are always so sweet and kind it caught me off guard. I remember when we visited you guys in CA. I don't remember if it was a game or a test, but you were yellow? and a I was red?. I doubt the colors are right, but it said you had a hard time making decisions. I guess somethings never change. And it said I really like to follow the rules. Sad but true, it drives my dh crazy. Miss you.
OH Diane...you so crack me up! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this list!
And here's what I do about the shoes...I have HOUSE shoes...shoes that I only wear in the house...so that they don't get dirty! I HATE wearing socks. DO NOT WEAR SOCKS EVEN IN THE WINTER TIME!
And the tv thing...I used to do...but my DH couldn't stand it. But the timer thing like Chritie said is perfect!
Now, for the last thing...I DID NOT KNOW THAT KIMBERLY WAS YOUR DAUGHTER! DID I? how did I miss that part? I have no idea. I think that is so AWESOME! small world for sure!
I am totally in awe of your quirks. I just don't know where I got my girls from because You all have the same quirks. I need to pick up some of your "Quirks" because it takes me all day to do one thing. You are so hilarious. I know Bob's thing is a CLEAN CAR. So I think you are both not from this planet or maybe it's me. WHO KNOWS!
My mom falls asleep with the tv on also...she claims it's do to the ringing in her ears!
Wish I could have seen the peach house...too funny! I can't make a decisions either, I need someone else to do that for me:)
I just love learning new things about my friends and it is comforting to know we share some of the same quirks, the TV thing seems to be popular, I am also guilty!
I have the same issue with shoes - I hate them on my carpet or on my tile where my baby walks and eats everything...I am a bleach fanatic! Call me a germophobe but that's just the way I am. Especially Dan's boots - I used to say "do they have tweeker juice on them dan??" code for druggie people he arrests and I don't know where they've been or what they've been taking into their bodies...yeah don't get me started I can't handle it! I think we're all a little OCD in this family and we all have our quirks. Yours are cute quirks mine are annoying:)
BTW I think my little gremlin daughter was messing with my blog and switched the profile name to her own - hmmmmmm anyway, it's Becky not Meghan leaving the love notes:)
