Seven Quirky Things

Ok, so I was tagged by Laura to say 7 quirky things about myself and then tag 5 more people. Here it goes:

1. I am a clean freak, but only in the areas where people can see. My closets are rarely organized and my drawers are always a mess.
2. I can't stand kids who walk around with snotty noses or even dirty ears. I am constantly checking my kids ears and noses to make sure there aren't things that shouldn't be there. It just so happens that both the kids HATE when I touch their noses...
3. I really don't like shopping that much. This is weird considering that my mom and two sisters LOVE it. I especially can't stand shopping without something in mind to buy or no money.
4. I LOVED high school so much. I'm not sure why but it was a fun, happy time in my life. I would much rather go back to high school than college.
5. One of my favorite shows is "America's Next Top Model." I'm not sure why, but maybe it's my secret desire to be a runway model someday.
6. I can't stand any creepy-crawly things. I will do anything to avoid bugs, which is why I really don't like the outdoors much. That is my biggest nigthtmare, to be covered in bugs and no way out!!!!!!!!
7. I'm a very picky eater. Don't like most fruits or vegetables, no seafood, pork, dark meat chicken, or even coffee. I really don't like church potlucks because you can't see what's in that casserole your eating and you don't know who made the food (maybe their kitchen is dirty). I'm a mess...

Ok, now I tag:
1. Tiffany Nevil, come on girl, I know you hate these things but do it for me?
2. My sister Desi, I know you won't but it's worth a try!
3. Sarah Heymann because I know you will:)
4. Travis, because I'm really curious
5. Ashley Holcombe because it's fun:)

I hear you on the kids noses thing . . . Clara hates it, too! And your cleanliness comment made me feel better after being at your house last night . . . I came home and felt like my house was disgusting compared to yours!

WOW! I'm really impressed with Desi's answers. I gotta say amen to the northwest thing on drinking coffee through a straw. I think all these Baristas are weirdos when they ask me if I want a straw. Why would I want a straw for my coffee? Then you are drinking the hottest part of the drink first. Doesn't it burn your mouth? Weird northwesterners...

I love it! I am so glad that so many people are playing along! Too funny. I am really weird about snotty noses and ear wax too. I hate it when my kids' noses are runny (which they have allergies so is just about all the time!) and I wipe it (which my kids also hate) throw away the klenex and look back and they have a whole big snotty mess again! I also have been know to carry Q-tips in the car in case I catch any ear wax while we are out and about!
I hear you about the casseroles too! I am pretty picky too, (mainly because of my allergies, but also because I am weird)

What a fun post! I loved all your answers...and I have to say, I knew a lot of them...the creepy-crawly bug thing, the picky-eater thing, etc., but I didn't know about the clean freak thing, or the nose/ear thing. ; ) I have to say I am the same way about those things...especially the ears. YUK!!! I can't stand it! Anyhow, thanks for an interesting post. And by the way, THANKS, DESI...I am literally sitting in a hotel room at this very moment, and now am totally grossed out! We've been here for 4 days now, and although it is a super nice resort, I can't help but look a little closer now, and think "Ewwww..." ;)

Good ones, Crystal! It's funny that most people that attended TBS have great memories of High School. I wish I could have gone there! You have to check out my blog now...I have a surprise for you. You'll probably never tag me again..ha!
