I've Been Tagged!

Okay, I've been tagged which means that I get to tell you about 6 quirks of mine....those silly things we all do out of habit, nervousness, excitement, etc. So here goes...

#1 - Money: Whenever I carry cash it has to all be organized. Every bill has to be facing forward and up, it has to be neatly stacked, and it has to be in order - smallest bills on top to the largest bills on the bottom. Don't know why, but it drives me nuts to have it any other way.

#2 - Toilet Paper: I like my rolls to wrap over the top. If it is wrapped under the bottom, I'll switch it to make it "right". I apologize if I've ever done this at your house - I can't help myself!

#3 - Closets: I may have shoes spread all over the closet floor, but if my shirts are not hung the right way it will drive me insane. All of our shirts should face to the left with the short sleeves grouped together and the long sleeves grouped together. Sometimes when I get really ambitious, they will even be hung by shades of color as well. I also can't stand to have loose hangers in between clothes. I'll collect them and the free hangers get their own section in the closet as well. Boy, I'm beginning to sound a bit OCD!

#4 - When I concentrate really hard, especially when I am drawing or painting, I stick my tongue out without realizing I'm doing it.

#5 - Bedding: I can not go to sleep without having a blanket or cover over me. It is the middle of summer in Arizona and I still have to have covers over me before I fall asleep at night or even to take a nap. It's a weird comfort thing. Just like if there is a pillow around on a couch. I would rather hug it on my stomach out of comfort.

#6 - Even numbers: I like even numbers. Somehow I feel like odd numbers are more of a jinx. The volume nobs on the TV or Radios - if they have a digital number, you can bet that I will put it on an even number. I can't consciously leave it on an odd number - even if '17' sounds best, I will put it on '16' or '18'.

Well, there you have it - As if I need to give anyone more reasons to find me weird! Now, who hasn't been tagged yet that I can pass this on to?

I'm going to tag Heather C., Alicia O., Mariah F. (yes, this can be your first blog!), and Marci N. and anyone else that thinks this might be fun and hasn't done it yet.

Hey! I enjoyed reading your tag comments. I feel bad I missed seeing you, too, but we'll have to get together another time when you come up. Did Mariah have her baby and how is she doing?
