Are You Quirky?

I don't think I'm quirky at all nevertheless, I've been tagged by my sister, aka Charlie to complete this list. I now pass this little meme-virtual chain letter on to Ryann, Kam, Lisa, and Christy because some of them have time, yet some may just blow me/it off.

Here's the skinny:
1. link to the person who tagged you.
2. post the rules.
3. share 6 non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. tag at least 3 people.
5. make sure the people you tagged know you tagged them by commenting to them.


So, on to it... six non-important things/habits/quirks about myself:

1. I HATE to wear my seat belt. I don't like to wear it when I'm driving myself nor when I am being driven. My new car blings at me because I don't have it on which drives me crazy. So, I've now stooped to just putting the seat belt into the click and sitting on top of the belt.

2. I always wait until the last minute to complete school work. This includes when I am a student (which is currently) and when I am a teacher grading paper or preparing lessons. It is sometimes quite stressful, but I never wonder why I do it to myself. I just accept that I do it. My reward? I get some weird satisfaction in knowing I can wing it and still come out with a decent product. (I'm supposed to be grading papers right now, but this is a good distraction.)

3. I don't like sweet and salty treats. You know how some people will eat a milkshake and have fries on the side? Or, how about drinking beer and eating cookies? I can't stand those combinations. I'm pretty much a strictly salty person, so I just avoid sweets. But, if I do... I have to commit to a sweet, and I have to keep only a sweet path.

4. I totally look for bad grooming on people. I will check for earwax, rogue nose hairs, and blackheads on people. Usually, this is just something I do when students come to my desk and ask me questions, but I'll look at grown people I work with too. Maybe they are looking down at a piece of paper or talking to the person on their side? Well, I'll take that opportunity to stare at their t-zone, at their nostrils, or in their ear. Then, I torture myself with how I'd pick it, trim it, or swab it.

5. I'm addicted to tomato-based, non-meat foods. Salsa, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes, etc. I don't like to eat a lot of meat, and I sure love tomatoes. I'll chose salsa over queso and marinara over alfredo anytime. Too bad it takes carbs to go along with all the goodness.

6. No matter how long I'm traveling for or where to, I like to get everything to fit in one bag. I don't have any really big suitcases, so my one bag rule pretty much limits me to a medium suitcase or travel bag. I like it that way.

Josh is anti-seatbelt. First thing he does is disabel that bell that beeps at you when you don't put your belt on. I love #6 I can actually picture you analyzing how to fit everything in one thing so you won't need 2 bags

Ro actually converted me from a "checker" to a "carrier". I used to check my bag all the time - now, I try to make Ro proud and take a carry-on!

Have I ever told you how glad I am that you and I never refer to each other as "sis"?

Thanks for that.
