6 Quirky Things About Me

I can only choose 6? That might be tough, but I'll give it a try.

1. I cannot go to bed with dirty feet. I usually wear flip flops most of the year because if it's warm or hot outside, I burn up wearing socks and shoes. So by the end of the day, my feet are pretty dirty so I have to wash them before getting in bed. That's definitely not a bad thing, though.

2. I never lick my fingers after eating popcorn, chips, or pretty much anything that leaves salt or crumbs on my fingers. I don't know why. I guess I'd rather just wash my hands than lick them and have dried saliva lingering on my fingers.

3. If I pet any type of animal, I immediately have to wash my hands. This is problematic when I'm at my sister's house because they have a dog, and I like to pet and play with him. And even though I know I will pet him 5 minutes later, I have to wash my hands right after I pet him. I must have a 'clean hand' fetish.

4. I twitch right before I fall asleep. I usually don't know about it, but Jay sure notices.

5. I like to start putting dinner away before Jay is done eating because I always finish before he does. Maybe I'm subconsciously trying to get him to stop eating.

6. I don't drink more than half a glass of any juice, soda, or milk. So don't give me a whole glass because I won't drink it. Water is a different story.

Now I want to find out quirky things about Holly, Heather, and Elizabeth.

I am the same way with washing my hands! (This includes if I've eaten popcorn or something.) If my hands are dirty they have to be washed before I can relax, otherwise I just hold them out so I don't touch anything with my "dirty" hands. Glad to know I have a fellow OCD sister!

Germophobes Unite! I keep telling Chris to tell me if I'm getting TOO paranoid though. . .one OCD guy I heard about went to the Doc to talk about his fear of germs and the Doc made him put his whole hand on the bottom of his shoe and then stick his fingers in his mouth over and over until he wasn't worried about the germs anymore. I think I'd rather die!!

Your first three things are about washing your hands/feet! You are a compulsive washer. That is a good thing! I wash my hands all the time, too, especially as soon as I walk in the door from anywhere. And I think everyone in our family loves water so much because we never drank anything else growing up. I'm getting thirsty...

I don't like licking my fingers either. I'd much rather wash them. But if that's not possible, then wiping my hands on my pants is a good option. No wonder my pants were always dirty!
