As per your request...
Meg and her weird habits/other weird things about me!
- I only eat the puffy part of each piece of popcorn. It can take hours to go through a bowl.
- I don't like to get my hands wet. If I take a bath, I even wait until the last possible minute to put them into the water.
- I don't like to get my face wet. Especially unintentionally. Like at the pool. Ugh.
- I always pull noodles off of the stove before they're completely cooked.
- I will take a route that has more right turns than left even if it takes longer to get where I'm going.
- I have to scrub out the kitchen sink before I'll consider washing dishes in it.
- I must be laying on my stomach in order to fall asleep. (Pregnancy was hell!)
- I never, ever, ever sit with both feet on the floor at the same time.
- I have to be wearing tennis shoes in order to do any sort of housework. Except folding laundry - then I prefer to be sock-footed.
- I rarely go without shoes.
- I hardly ever go without socks.
- I almost never eat before 11AM.
- I almost never fall asleep before midnight or 1AM.
- I always sleep in my contacts, because I can't handle the idea that I won't be able to see when I wake up.
- I have conversations with my pets. And I answer for them. And then I tell my family and friends about the conversations.
- I don't like egg yolk. I eat fried eggwhites.
- I dip my french fries in mayonaise, not ketchup.
- I like honey on McDonald's cheeseburgers.
- I am far from being a romantic. But I love getting flowers.
- My favorite place to read is in the bath tub. (Helps keep my hands from getting wet!)
- I stand up and take a shower when I'm done taking a bath, because I don't think I can get clean in a bath.
- I take more pictures of my kitten than I do my kids.
- I don't eat fish. Or any other kind of seafood. Even the thought of it can make my stomach turn. The smell of it will make me vomit.
- I have a hard time trying new foods. Much harder if the new food is a meat I'm not used to.
- I'm afraid of fire. (I set my parents' kitchen on fire when I was in the 8th grade.)
- I don't like to mix meats on pizza. In fact, I prefer one topping pizzas.
- When I find an author that I like, I read ALL of his or her books that I can get my hands on - as quickly as possible.
- I have a hard time finding new authors.
- I hardly ever buy CDs. There aren't many groups out there that I like well enough that I want to listen to 10 of their songs in a row.
- Bad (written) grammar annoys the hell out of me.
- It drives me insane when someone types "their" when they mean "there" or "they're."
- I failed typing in high school, but now type close to 100 words a minute with terrific accuracy. (Thank you, chatrooms!)
- I would rather spend time with computers than with most people.
- I have a hard time playing with my kids. I can talk with them. I can provide toys and games for them. But I have a hard time actually playing with them. (Strange, because I remember my mom playing with me a lot when I was little.)
- I can't stand stupidity.
- I always wash my face first in the shower. Then my hair.
- I can't stand not having my underarms shaved.
- I won't even drive from one part of a parking lot to the other without putting on my seatbelt.
- If I'm going to be in the car for longer than 15 minutes, I can't be wearing my coat.
- If I'm going to be in the car for longer than 20 minutes, I want to have a fountain Coke.
- I refuse to call my husband at work. I do, however, email him 50,000 times a day.
- I won't iron. Anything. Ever.
- I never, ever, ever wrap up the cord to a vacuum cleaner properly. (Which is why I bought one with a cord reel last month!)
- I love to cook. I may not be good at it. But I love to do it.
- I love to entertain. Unfortunately, I don't have any friends to entertain. LOL
