Quirky

I was tagged by Mariana at the private blog of “The Schuller Family” to talk about 6 quirky things about me. It literally took me a week to come up with this list, and I've only got 5. Because, me? Quirky? I guess that means weird, right? Well, here’s what I’ve come up with:

1. The only way I like to drink soda is in a cup (prefer glass, but hard plastic will do), and with ice. But, once the ice starts melting, forget it. I do not like the waterish concoction that forms at the top if I am not using a straw.

2. When I find or receive a piece of jewelry that I love, I will wear it for long periods of time. I have worn the same necklace now for a year and a half, with the exception of wearing my (favorite) pearls to a special occasion once or twice in the last year.

3. I don’t like slides. Ever since an incident that happened back in 1996. I am flat out scared of them.

4. I prefer Target instead of Wal-mart. I prefer Banana instead of Gap. I prefer the Gilroy and Napa outlets instead of any mall. I prefer i-tunes over buying any CD.

5. After I drop the kids off at daycare, I come home and clean – and then go to work. Not clean, like dust and mop, but straighten it up. I like to come home to a clean house, and I like to go to work knowing the house is clean.

Okay, so this isn’t the best list of quirkiness ever created, but I really don’t feel quirky. I’m normal, and what some would describe as boring. But I like me that way.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you feel quirky and have a list, I’d like to see it.
