Quirks

If some of you remember, I did a post last November about Quirks. I had everyone submit their quirks in a quirky quiz, and then rewarded a winner. It was hilarious. You must go back and read the comments, they are so funny!!!
Janeal has recently tagged me to submit my quirks once again.
I know I have alot, but I can't think much right now...but I'll give it a try here!
1. Just like Janeal, I am obsessed with teeth, but mainly with
what's in them!?
After every meal or snack I have to consult with my husband, friend, or compact mirror.
I will NOT go walking around with oreo's or lettuce stuck in my teeth. Talk about humiliating!
My husband get's SO SICK of answering for me when I give him the cheesy "check my teeth grin." I'm just saving us both embarrassment!
I don't think this should really be classified as a quirk either. It's self-awareness.
Hello, we should all do it!!!

2. I have an equilibrium itching issue. If my right elbow itches, I have to then scratch my left elbow too (even when it doesn't itch), because my body has to be balanced. Or if my right eyebrow itches, next comes the left eyebrow.

I know. Weird. That is a definite quirk.

3. I can't stand feeling anyone's breath on myself, including my own. At night I have to sleep with the covers up to my chin (mostly for warmth too), and my arms wrapped in the blanket as well. I can not let my arms feel my breath as I breathe at night. ANNOYING!

4. If a rug or towel is not lying or hanging straight in the house, I have to fix it. It bugs me when things are skewed a little...but my house can be a wreck in the meantime. Just make sure the rugs and towels are straight! lol.

someone PLEASE straighten that rug!

I can't think of anything else right now. I know, I'm sure my close friends and family could list a million more for me. Oh well...that's good for now!

If anyone else wants to submit their quirks, feel free to share!

Let's bask in our quirkiness!!

If I am somewhere other than home and we just get done eating I always show Tyson my teeth and say "is there anything in my teeth?" I know he gets sick of it, but I'm with you....I'm saving myself embarrassment. Every once in awhile he'll say yes just to see my reaction.

Your itching issue is funny! Thanks for doing this it was fun to read.

Holly said...

SO funny! I love reading everyone's quirks it makes me feel not so OCD myself! LOVED it! :)

Lindsey said...

I WISH I could think of quirks that funny! I am sure my husband could... But, lets not ask him.. mmkay?

Hollyween said...

I've missed your blog, Jill. It's nice to be back in blog land.

I am totally paranoid about having stuff in my teeth. That and 'breather' boogers. Ya know, the kind that go in and out every time you breathe. Sick.

TexasTwinsTwice said...

haha--cute! I'm concerned with the teeth too...but i always have my hubby check my ears. It just bugs me when I see stuff in people's ears, so I try to always check mine. And I'm right there with ya on the rugs thing.

Ashley said...

Hey I don't have ANY quirks none whatsoever. So don't make me reveal them!!! LOL. I have a post somewhere in my archives of six crazy quirks maybe I'll repost them.

Marilyn said...

Sneak peeking at your blog ever since I got your name on Ashley's favorite things swap. Just need your address..if you will e-mail me at romar6@juno.com This was such a cute post about quirks...and I've got a few...just ask Ash!

your blog address is quirky kirky--you must have more quirks than you wrote down. Your equilibrium quirk is pretty quirky I've never heard of that before.

The only quirk I can think of right now (because I just woke up) is that during the night I canNOT handle sheets and covers over me that are not straight, flat, and tucked in--I can't sleep properly if the bed covers come un-tucked in the night. That kind of goes with anything I am doing I can't work in clutter, I can't eat a meal in a mess, and I can't leave things undone or unsaid--it eats at me forever if I do....Maybe I'm a perfectionist...I like things to be orderly and done in order....my daughter is picking up the same quirk and cleans areas before she'll color or eat or whatever...

So yah I'm sure i have a lot more than that but that one comes up everyday.....
have a great weekend Jill! Thx for the comments on my blog---I totally agree with you.

I am with you 100% on the "teeth" thing. I am always asking my hubby if I have anything in mine and sometimes when he is feeling funny he won't give me a straight answer and I get soooo irritated.

Another one of mine would be that I can't sleep if the cover are wrapped around me or if I feel trapped... sleeping bags MUST be unzipped all the way. Sometimes my husband will want to sleep on top of the covers but then I can't move the covers and I start freaking out... I know... strange!

Christal said...

SO fun I loved reading that makes us all feel more normal. If we didn't have our quirks we wouldn't be us! So not weird at all.

Reeses Pieces said...

Those are funny. I love the rug one because I'm the same. The breath one is way funny. How can you feel it while your sleeping? Isn't it funny how we're all quirky in our own ways?

The Brann's said...

Funny you should mention the run thing. I can have dirty clothes, and toys strewn everywhere, but I agree....the rugs HAVE TO BE straight!!!

Emily said...

I just have to comment on how interactive your blog is! You are so cute! And I will never reach the "30 comments" that you receive almost everytime! I nominate you as the "Ultimate Blogging Queen"! Love you tons! Love the quirks! :)

Lindsay said...

So funny! I always do the teeth check too! I've got a million others as well that I'll have to post about sometime!

Lisa said...

How funny. I told you one the other day that I do... Chew on my tongue!? i just do it without realizing and then have to stop myself. Weird and it's sometimes embarrasing.
I have also been caught many times cleaning my bowl or plate completely, ie.. there is any extra yummy sauce, or chocolate, salad dressing etc... I scrape it clean. One time a waiter caught me and asked if i needed a spatula for that!!! oops. Manners!? I sometimes just do it.
And, crumbs, sticky spots or anything i can feel on the floor that doesn't belong there bugs me. It can be cluttered (a little) with toys or whatever, but not the other.

Hello!! I wrote about one of my biggest quirks on my birthday post but I absolutely loathe food smells. I can't go to restaurants where I will leave smelling like the place. Like Denny's or Mongolian Grill. I have been known to have my mom cook bacon for me at her house when I'm making something with bacon in the recipe because I don't want my house to smell like it! (Thank goodness for the pre-cooked stuff!)

Niederfam said...

I'm with you on #4, isn't that weird, it can be total chaos everywhere else, but towels, rugs, anything hanging must be perfect!!! Ha ha......
