Okay, I got tagged a couple of days ago from Mikelene. The assignment was to reveal my quirks. However, this task has really stumped me. I guess I'm either way too normal or I'm in extreme denial. I have been mulling this over, but each time I come up with nothing. In the process, though, I have discovered quirks of my other family members that I will share.
My husband: He rocks back and forth when standing. He can NOT keep still. He has constant movement for some reason. A.D.D. maybe?
When he gets out the shower, he lays spread eagle on the bed, under the fan, to get completely dry. He loves the cool breeze.
He has to have a pair of shoes on to walk outside, even if it's on the porch. He says it's a "safety issue."
He CHEWS ice cream! (It has a horse-like sound effect--kind of echo-ey. It's really weird.)
Frankie: He sleeps with his "daily" clothes on (blue jeans, whatever). I guess it's too much trouble for him to change into something comfortable.
Brandon: I can't think of a single thing. Maybe he's overly organized? Oh, I know, when he goes to the icemaker to get ice, he twirls his cup while the ice is falling down. AND...he bites off the husks of the popcorn and collects the fluffy section in a cup. Then, eats all the fluff at once. Weird, huh?
Kela: She is just OCD, period. She has to have things a certain way. Don't change her things. She freaks out!
Gabriel: He has to have a window open when he sleeps. He likes his room cold, sleeps in boxers, and then he bundles up with thick blankets.
Noah: He doesn't wear clothes. School has been an adjustment bc he actually has to cover himself with things other than his drawers. Who hasn't road by my house and seen Noah in his undies? That's what I thought.
Disclosure: I couldn't come up with anything for myself, but after asking around...
My husband says my quirk is that I change my voice when I'm talking to non-family members. Apparently, he says I sound much more sophisticated when I talk to others than how I act with relatives, especially phone conversations. He swears I do this...Do I???
I also like to sound intelligent in WRITTEN word and use the thesaurus to avoid repetition. I don't like using the same phrasology. (Is that a word? I didn't look it up. LOL) I can't stand sounding ignorant. It probably stems from the fact that my brothers used to tell me I was very "dingy" and "dumb." I'm making up for it now.
Mary, was quick on her observations: She says I pick my teeth constantly. I'm always running my fingernails over all surfaces of them...That is true. I do like my teeth feeling smooth. However, I don't do it NEAR as much because, several years ago, one of the kids had pin worms and it made me super nervous about my habit. I've evolved a bit.
I can't sit down to talk on the phone. I have to be up and moving about. That's probably why people hear me breathing heavily while talking. Mary says I sound like I'm having a workout. Sorry.
Tiff and Laurie, you're now tagged!

Funny how we never see outselves as doing things out of the ordinary. I think I learned a bit too much about Big Frankie during that post! Ha!
Those were so interesting to read. Thanks for sharing!
That was fun to read! I also don't like to sit down while I am on the phone.
Dang Marina...how do I narrow it down to a few??
Too funny! Let's don't forget that your family is OCD about their interests. We were just talking about this the other day.
Funny! I agree with Tyson. :)
I have a hard time sitting down to talk on the phone, too. I've gotta be multi-tasking. Why is that?
Well I agree with alot of what was said and have some of the same problems.. I'll call you and tell you the rest.
I love ya
So funny! I loved reading it!!
That was great Marina!
I love reading these! And tell Frankie that I rock back and forth when I talk too! Drives Brad crazy.... he won't look at me when I talk to him or he tells me to sit down! Funny!!
I used to do the same thing when I talked on the phone!
and ps: Mine and Mary Beth's blogs aren't private anymore!
