Quirks

I was tagged by my cute friend Ali .This is a fun tag because it gives you insight to the quirks that we all try to hide in person, but feel brave enough to write about on our blogs. :)

Rules: Link the person that tagged you. Mention these rules on your blog. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yourself and tag 6 fellow bloggers.

1. I have to have everything in it's place when I go to bed. Actually all throughout the day I go around looking for things to put back and clean up. Lance thinks I am really OCD but I REALLY like things to be put away and in their place... as in the chairs have to be placed back under the table, the dishes are done, the couch cushions in the proper place, and the beds made.


2. I have to have music on during the day. One of the first things I do in the morning is turn the radio on. Both Beth and I like to dance in the living room during the day. We have to take turns listening to our choice of music. It's either mine (which ever mood I'm in...country, classical, oldies, modern, etc.) or Beth's (always Little Mermaid...)


3. I LOVE free things. I am always willing to take stuff off of peoples hands. Last week was junk pick up in our neighborhood. I made Lance walk around the neighborhood with me looking for good junk on the curb. I did find a basketball hoop for Beth... she doesn't care it was on the curb :)

4. I HATE getting babysitters! Even if I'm paying someone I feel so guilty about having others watch my kids. I don't know why. They aren't hard to watch and are always sweet for others. Maybe I am still looking for that great babysitter!My mom probably doesn't believe this but I even feel guilty asking her to watch them...just not as much :)

5. Certain meals have to have certain side dishes to go with them. I guess I get this from my mom. Growing up we always had fruit salad with chicken, green salad with steak, noodles with pork chops, bread with soup, etc. Lance thinks it's weird that I won't have both a green salad and a fruit salad in the same sitting. Chalk it up to how I was raised!

6. Once I start a book I have to finish it. There have been a few exceptions to this rule. Especially when you get into a book and realize you can't handle the language or the plot content. Most books I fell obligated to finish, especially if they were recommended... I don't want to tell someone I fizzled out on reading it.
