Time to play Tag again!!

I have been tagged by my sweetest friend of 25 years.....Renee (pronounced RuhNay - not ReeNee). You know the one.....if you are a reader of my blog - she is the friend that I visited in Utah - that spit a huge spit ball on my face while we were waiting in line for Chinese Take-out. Yes, that one. She is a looker - but that chick can still spit...don't be deceived!!!

Here are the rules: "MY UNSPECTACULAR QUIRKS"

2.Mention the rules on your blog
3.Tell 6 unspectacular quirks about you
4.Tag 6 following bloggers by linking to them
5.Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger's blogs letting them know they've been tagged.

So here we go...the quirks...

1. I am a winter air snob. In the winter you can see people breathing. If I am walking by a "less desirable" person - I hold my breath so I don't breathe in their fog they are blowing out. Actually - I hold it for just about everyone. Cuckoo.

2. I have a severe aversion to what I refer to as "man food". Beef Jerky, summer sausage, slim jims, etc. If Tom eats it - I won't let him near me....he can't be near me - let alone kiss me.

3. I am a massage conversationalist. I feel guilty that the person giving the massage, facial, manicure....whatever.....I feel guilty that I feel good and they are bored - so I feel it's my job to entertain them. This goes hand in hand with how I used to clean my house before our housekeeper came (back in the day)....and how I vacuum all of my carpets before the carpet cleaner comes.

4. I have the bad quirk of assuming every Arab or Mexican (since I can't tell them apart) is a terrorist. Though I know this is SO not true....I still am quick to assume that the guy in the produce department talking on his cell phone is actually giving the "go" to the guy outside in the moving van full of ammonium nitrate. This is so bad.

5. I eat before I go to church potlucks. I then will eat a little bit of what I brought....or a close friend brought. I feel strongly that there needs to be full disclosure at these things.....including....WHO made it.....WHAT'S in it.....HOW MANY animals (counter dwelling cats) are in their home....WHICH illnesses are being battled.....IF hands were washed......IF meatloaf was mixed with a utensil or hands......WHICH children "helped".......IF the dish it was delivered in was "hand washed" or on the high temp cycle in the dishwasher....AND the mental state of the preparer.....you never know if someone is bitter enough to defile just for grins.

6. I am an odd "deep" thinker. Probably as deep as the kiddie pool compare to most of you....but nonetheless....let me illustrate. When you yell into a fan - what do you say? What do you say when you are in a cave? What do you yell through a long wrapping paper tube? THAT'S RIGHT......"Hellooooooooo!" I have always contemplated this and whether it is unique to our society. Is this American? Where does this stuff start? I can't help but ask these questions. Well- I was exiting Kirklands the other day - and to my JOY I saw four little Mexican boys gathered around a floor vase. What were they doing? Sticking their faces in it and yelling "HOOOOOOLA!" "HOOOOOOOLA!" "HOOOOOOOLA!" You would have thought that I had just found the cure for cancer. I was ecstatic!!! (My friend Anne was a bit confused by this.) An answer to one of my deep, pointless thoughts. There are SO many more of those. For example....."If 7-Elevens are open 24 hours a day......365 days a year - why are there locks on the door?"

There you have it....and the list could have been much longer :) Now it's your turn. Who will I choose????? I tag.....
