Six Quirky Things About Me!

I have been tagged by Rebekah (a.k.a. "Supermom Extraordinaire" and one of my best friends!) at The LaBouffs to do this meme. Even though the purpose of my blog is to report on my daughter's health, it is important to make time for fun things like this.

The rules for this meme are: (1) Link to the person that tagged you. (2) Post the rules on your blog. (3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. (4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. (5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

Six Quirky Things about me....

1. I can't cook if there are dirty dishes in my sink! I am so with Rebekah on this one. I just stare at the sink and think to myself, "Where do I begin? I am never going to get dinner on the table on time....maybe we should just skip dinner for tonight? Hey...now, that's a brilliant idea!"

2. I am a partial germaphobe (yes, that is a word!). Okay, maybe a major germaphobe. For example, yesterday when my daughter came home from her first day at school, I wanted to scrub her down from head to toe with antibacterial soap and wash away any bacteria that may have jumped onto her precious, little body. If bleaching a child from head to toe was permitted, I would have been all over that!

3. In my opinion, woman over 40 should not have long hair. Sorry to all the ladies out there who read this and think, "Hmph....well, I never!" It is my "thing." Every one has their "thing" and this is mine. And I can promise you this - on my 40th birthday (which is 9+ years away! ACK!), I will NOT have long hair. Mark my words.

4. I have an interesting therory on how to prepare a baby's bottle. After I put the formula in the bottle, I have to turn the top of the Avent bottle three times so I hear three, distinct "clicks" before I tighten it and give it to my son. Granted, I got this wonderful tip from a dear friend, but now it has become a habit. I am convinced that if you do not hear those three, lovely "clicks," the milk will leak out of the bottle and all over your child when you are feeding them. Try it. You will see.

5. I can not sleep with my hair down. Each night, before I go to bed, I put it in a ponytail. The thought of oily hair touching my face at night while I sleep grosses me out. Also, it prevents pimples.

6. I can not go to the bathroom if the toilet paper is facing the WRONG direction. This last one bothers me more than the others. Toilet paper should be accessed from the top of the roll and not from the bottom. And I will admit, when I use a public restroom, if the "TP" is facing the wrong direction, I will take time to help the janitorial staff out by flipping the roll over. Until then, I can not use the facilities in peace. :)
