6 quirky things

After reading Cheri's and therefore being "tagged", I'm now listing six of my own oddities. I'll feel much better if I find I'm not the only one who does these things, but I have a sneaky suspicion I might be the only one. I'm not sure I'm really ready to go public with these, but here I go anyway-

Promise not to judge?......
1. I hate movie theater seats, I cannot even imagine what gross things are on them (along the same line as hotel bed spreads...but I'm not even going to go there!) I will not wear anything shorter than capris and I always bring a hooded sweatshirt to wear to protect my hair.
2. I will not eat food from someones kitchen that I have never seen. I don't know what they did while cooking and prefer to stay clear of most homemade goodies. It also makes for a great diet.....
3. I believe that bathrooms are the grossest place in the whole wide world. I will not eat or drink ANYTHING that has been in a bathroom for any amount of time. I cannot even drink a bottle of water that has gone in the bathroom. On the same, but different note, I will not ever use a port-a-potty no matter how badly I need to go.
(Can you tell that I am a germ-a-phobe?....)
4. I think toe nails were made to be painted & I will not be seen in public with unpainted toe nails (even if I am wearing closed toed shoes...I will know they are unpainted).
5. I will not buy a pair of shoes that I cannot cross my toes in.
6. I have to have the perfect amount of ice in my cup of soda. It is almost as important to me as the perfect bite. I have even thrown away a soda because there wasn't enough ice in the cup.
So after thinking & admitting to my quirks I am reminded of how weird I am and wonder how I have any friends.....
Thanks for loving me just the way I am- quirks and all!!!!

So...let's hear about yours....let loose and share, I promise not to judge!

Well, Jennie, I don't think you are alone. Although you appear a little more obsessive, I am with you on the movie theater seats and bathrooms. My quirky thing is that after every shower, I have to flip my head 7 times to get the excess water out before I put my towel on. If I don't do it 7 times, "something bad will happen". If, for example, I am having a bad day, I may break the routine and only do 6! Hope this "quirk" makes you feel normal!

Thanks for sharring Jennie! =) It helps me understand you more... haha. J/k. But Brock still talks about that time in class when Jeff suggested we pray for you guys and you asked if people could not touch you, because you don't like people touching you. He thought you were soo funny!!! So some people think there funny! =)

I think that you should elaborate on the crossing your toes thing. How does that work? The only way I can get my toes to cross is if I manually manipulate them with my hands.
Come visit "On my way home..." to read about my quirks.

How does it work when you go to a restaurant and you don't see their kitchen? I think I'd be more afraid of what goes on in restaurant kitchens than in a kitchen at home. And if I ever make you cookies (I am a really good cookie maker), I'll just have to do it right under your nose so you can watch every move :). My latest cookie recipe I've been making is "Death by Chocolate" chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Mmmmmmm.
