Name six of your quirks....
Hmmm...only six? Sadly there are probably a lot that I could name. Here goes...

1. I only buy bananas in bunches of seven. I have no idea why I do this. I'm not normally a person who cares about numbers, but for some reason those bananas just taste better if they are in a bunch of seven. I bought a banana at work the other day from the cafeteria and had to stop myself from asking, "Do you happen to know if that banana came from a bunch of seven??"

2. I have a couple of words that I pronounce "weird". But they sound totally normal to me. I say envelope, Ahn-ve-lope. And apricot is AP (like the beginning of apple)-ricot.

3. I don't eat chocolate. I used to. After Miquelle was born I heard that chocolate gave babies gas. So I stopped eating it and never really started again. I do occasionally like to eat the edge of homemade brownies, but otherwise I don't really eat chocolate. It is funny because my kids all think I don't like it. When people hear this about me they think I am being really healthy. Totally not the case. I love candy, just not chocolate.

4. I do not like to wear shoes at all and only wear them when I absolutely have to. I wear them when I go out but the minute I step through the door I take them right off. Trevor often (pretty much everyday) puts his shoes on in the morning and doesn't take them off until he goes to bed that night. I would go crazy if I had to wear shoes that long. And I very seldom wear shoes that aren't slip on type shoes. They have to be able to come off fast!

5. I cannot stand toenails and fingernails once they are clipped. They completely gross me out. (But so do long fingernails and toenails so I have to keep my kids nails clipped.) Usually I will clip my kids toenails and fingernails after bathtime and I make a little pile (gag) of the nails. I am obsessive about none of my kids getting near the pile because if one of the nails didn't make it to the garbage and I (gasp!) stepped on it with bare feet later (not wearing shoes of course) that would just put me over the edge.

6. I am a complete hypocrite when it comes to the dentist. I faithfully take my kids twice a year for their check ups, but I haven't been to the dentist in, oh about, coughcough10yearscoughcough. I am a complete baby when it comes to the dentist. I had a really bad experience as a child getting a tooth pulled. Makes me shudder just thinking about it. I think it is crazy that my kids LIKE to go to the dentist. Back when I was a kid we didn't have movies on the ceiling, and video games in the waiting room and prizes for no cavities. We (at least I) had a dental hygenist that chased me down the hall (after I heard that I had to have a tooth pulled) and held me down in the chair while the dentist pulled my tooth out. Yup, good times. I wonder if my mom remembers that. She would probably say it wasn't as bad as I remember. It was. Believe me.

Now I'm going to tag Trevor (because he hasn't updated his blog in forever) Stacy, Leslie, and Rachel...just because I want to read about their quirks, and anyone else who wants to play.
