Quirky-ness

I have seen tags, read tags, but never participated in a tag....so for my friend Dawn, here I go.
I was asked to list 6 quirky things about myself.....some of these I may have mentioned before, so it may come as no new surprise.

#1. I always make my kids put on clean underwear...like twice a day. If clothes are dirty it doesn't bother me, but undies have to be fresh and clean, especially when little bummies sit on school potties then transfer those germs onto undies.

#2. Which leads me to #2. I am a deep-clean-aholic. If the silverware drawer or fridge has crumbs it drives me crazy....smudge prints on the cuboards in the kitchen, can't stand it, but messy toy rooms don't bother me as much.

#3. Toe and fingernails. My dad's and Todd's are especially fun. It takes two hands to trim those suckers! Long and dirty fingernails on little kids is gross.

#4. If I had a day to myself I would choose to go on a long run, alone. Go shopping, alone. Hit some antique stores, alone. Then come home and bike with Todd up to get a steamer. The theme here is that I enjoy the solace of being with myself. I can go, stay, leave, linger as long or short as I'd like and not worry about who else was with me.

#5. I'm very indecisive. It's a problem. I'll be at a store, can't make up my mind. Buy it. Regret it, and go back again to return it....and usually the whole process is repeated with the next purchase I make.

#6. I'm not a big fan of going out to eat. Lunch with friends, dinner with the family or even Todd and I. I think it's because I'm frugal AND I love the meals I prepare. My salads and pastas are just as delicious as any I've had.

Thanks for not tagging me :) I am the exact same as you with number 1, 4 & 6. You're an outgoing extrovert, so if you love being alone as much as you do, I won't feel like I'm a loner for loving it as much as I do!

woopsie- not number 1- but number 2! Dirty undies- whatever!

I love that list, those are quirky things. It makes me feel good about our relationship to know that I already knew most of them. I also love that picture of Brody and the list of his day. President Monson's talk was really good. Also, the ward activity...hello!!! Poor Lady Di, I would not want to follow after you in that calling. And that is quite the flower on Scarlet's little girl's hair, but it works. Your outfits were darling, and cheap/free right?

I'm with you on the alone time too. Nothing better than being with someone who totally understands you.

You and the girls and your germs. That makes me laugh. Tonight we went on a walk with Milly and Ryan was having her throw sticks and float little apples that were on the ground down this little ditch/stream. At the end he gave her the apple to eat!! You girls would never do that.

Those are all funny...I probably could have predicted most of them! I have some weird ones myself!

You are such a clone of your Dad with the exception of #3 & #5. I'm not allowed to comment on the underwear thing due to a court restraining order on the subject. Most of my exercise is solo although a highlight is bike and run with you. Otherwise, me and my thoughts (no headphones allowed).
