filed in: Meme's

I’ve been tagged by the lovely Jane over at Cozy Reader!! Not tag you’re it like in the playground game, but tag, time to do a meme! This one is “Five Weird Habits About Yourself” this should be interesting!!!

The rules are: “The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You are tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.”

Now this maybe hard….then again….it maybe really easy, my kids are always saying I’m weird!

I cannot leave the house or go to bed without checking that the doors are locked and the lights and appliances are turned off at least 3 times. Once is not enough, twice is not enough but three times just to be sure everything is turned off and locked up tight. OCD I know.
I have a certain cup I drink my ice tea in. I won’t drink my tea in anything but my massive jug! It keeps my tea cold and it has a lid and a straw. I have to have a straw, sensitive teeth.
I sleep with 5 pillows, which I use to make a cocoon around me….one to support my back, one between my knees, one to hug, and two under my head. I got in the habit of this pillow cocoon when I was pregnant and never got out of it. Big D has to wade through the mountain of pillows to find me!
I can’t help myself from rearranging flowers when I see a pitiful floral arrangement. It’s just a shame to see beautiful flowers in a ugly arrangement!
When I am nervous or anxious, I have the habit of bouncing my leg. If we are in the car, the whole car will shake from the bouncing of my leg, it’s that bad. If I am conscious of it, I can stop it, but only till I don’t think about it again and then bam….bouncing again! Drives my family nuts!

So there you have it, my five weird things! I feel so, well…..WEIRD!!!! So now I’m going to tag five of my favorite and I’m sure a little weird friends…..

I too have five pillows. Probably would sleep with more if I could get them away from my daughter when she is here from college.

My worst bad habit is not biting my nails. I would never do that. But when I’m nervous, and that is often these days, I bite my fingers. I just can’t leave a hang nail alone. Bad, Bad, Bad.

My brother’s worst habit is cracking his neck. It grosses us all out. At least he is in Europe most of the time so he can make them nauseous there with his cracking.

BTW, I’m here from Wendy Wings via Michele or visa versa, I’m confused.

I love having tons of pillows in bed, but my hubby hates them, so I gave in. I am such a good wife!

No, your not wierd, and if I said you were then I would be callling myself wierd too! I get up, I don’t know how many times, out of bed before I fall asleep to check door locks, make sure the stove top is not on, and make sure all the kids are breathing. OCD? Maybe a little. I just call it being safe;)
