Random Quirks

I am following Angie's lead and taking her tagged idea of 6 quirks (or more) of myself . It is fun to see others quirks, so I dare others to do the same. Here goes;

#1. I drink water right out of the tap. Not cold, or even with ice. I get a fresh, big glass of water in the morning, then refill as needed. It sits on my counter all day long and into the night. Sometimes I drink my water from the day before. I know, it's weird, but I can drink more of it that way. If I do get ice water when we are out, but I like a straw, because the ice hurts my teeth.

#2. If I order a mixed drink....I want 2 of those little straws with it. Not one, but 2. My friend Kristen always new this about me and would always make sure that I got my 2 straws. (long, long time ago)

#3. I am a self proclaimed liberator. I LOVE to cut the vines, picker bushes out of the trees around my house. Some of them aren't even on my property, but I feel that I have to do it to save the trees. If it isn't done, the trees get strangled by the vines and die. I have even been known to take my pruners on a walk with me to liberate while walking on the bike path.

#4. I love to prune the bushes and trees around my house. Or anyone else's for that matter. (Just ask Robin or my mom) They need to be a certain way so that my gardens get the optimal amount of sunshine that they need.

#5. My second toe is longer than my 1st. (I have heard that this is a sign of intelligence-ha ha)

#6. I never thought that I would get married. Heck, I never even thought that I would have a serious, nice relationship. This is not because I didn't want it, but growing up, I never knew that relationships that are on the TV really existed. I didn't know that people grew up in households with respect, love and patience. I surely didn't see it in my house, and I didn't even see others around us.

#7. I can't stand sitting in traffic, and worse, I can't stand being lost, while in a car. I get so frustrated and look for ways out constantly. I'll take back roads, just to keep moving, even if I know that it will take a little longer.

#8. I can't stand my toenails being long. I keep them very short. I look at other girls cute toes, painted all cute. Their nails don't look long in actuality, but for me, they are too long. I just can't do it.

#9. I vacuum my kitchen floor everyday. Sometimes 3-4 times, depending on the crums, etc. that fall on the floor. I do not like having stuff on the tile and walking in it and having it stick to the bottom of my feet!

So there you have it. I am weird, just like the rest of the world, but in different ways.
