To pass the time: Get to know your "Quirky Bumpie"!
Name something you do that someone else might find odd or quirky!
I'll start:
1. I am not afraid of heights, at all, but I absolutely cannot walk on sidewalk grates or manhole covers for fear of falling 84749830 feet down.
2. I don't eat almonds. Not because I don't like them but because I have to bite them in half (not easy). I don't know what I am looking for, but I can't eat it without opening it and looking first.
3. I can't leave the house without it being picked up and presentable. Why? Because I'm afraid if the cops/firemen have to show up for some reason while I am gone, I want it to "look nice". I know this is seriously messed up considering that it looking clean would be the LAST thing on my mind.

Re: To pass the time: Get to know your "Quirky Bumpie"!
1. I don't mind bugs. If I find one where its not supposed to be (like a bathroom) I can easily pick it up and flush it down the toilet and wash my hands afterwards.
2. I cannot sit still - I literally have to be multitasking most of the time.
3. If I wash one hand, I absolutely must wash the other.
1. I hate hate hate cotton balls. The sound of them being pulled apart gives me goosebumps and makes me want to pull all my teeth out and I cannot stand the way they feel.
2. I hate when closets/cupboards are left open.
Even at my age i still hold my breath going over bridges. When I was little I would be afraid (not of heights per say...just hate bridges) and my dad toldme to hold my breath and I couldnt fall..still do it and DH thinks Im nuts
Oh, I cant be stopped under a overpass either....I would rather run a red light or stop on the other side and make people honk at me then pull up and be under it.
1. If I use hand sanitizer, I have to put it on once rub it in, and then put it on again to kill the germs it just killed.
2. When hanging shirts in the closet the hangers have to be hanging the same way and the shirts have to face the same way.
3. When folding shirts and towels they have to to be flat. If a hem rolls up I have to fix it. I have tried to let it go, but I always dig through the pile in the end and fix it.
When I laugh really hard, one of my eyebrows arches way higher than the other. But when I try to raise one eyebrow (which is one of my favorite faces ever), I can't do it. So, when I would raise an eyebrow (if only I could), I lift one with my finger.
quick question: how do you wash only one hand?
1. I am kind of a clean freak too.....I can't have things on my counters or table at all. It has to look clean and fresh when I'm home. Also, everything has a place, and I want things in their place. It's annoying sometimes.
2. LO's clothes are perfectly organized by color, size, and shirt/pants. I like to know what she has available.
3. I love being the first person LO sees when she wakes up, and the last one she sees when she goes to sleep. It makes working a little easier knowing this!
4. I don't mind my dog licking all over LO. Some people think it's gross, I don't. They are best friends!!!
1. I call silverfish 'crunchy bugs' because of the sound they make when you squish them.
2. I tell the boys that babies are not born with diapers or bibs but sometimes they are born with a brother.
3. I still mourn the loss of Snapple Mint Iced Tea which was discontinued about a year ago. DH and I drank our last one in celebration of the BFP.
1. Bridges scare me. I either speed up or crack the window before going over.
2. I am OCD about picking up around the house.
1. I don't eat anything purple....well, artificial grape flavored.
2. I have to always look back at the garage door to make sure that it's closed.
I count things everywhere I go. I think that makes me slightly OCD.
I also refuse to put cream cheese on my bagel. I have to have it on the side, so I can dip each bite into the cream cheese before I eat it.
This is me. I also refold shirts if the shoulders are uneven. And if someone folds a towel "inside out" (with the seam facing out), I die a little inside. And I have ever refolded a hand towel in someone else's bathroom.
Like if you need to wash your hand or something and you are holding LO, you turn the water one and try to wash that one hand..... I cannot do it. I have to rub my hands onto each other to wash them
I had no idea cotton balls made a sound!
I am OCD, so I have many quirks
But besides that...
I have to kiss DD on the forehead everynight before I go to bed, even if she is already in her bed asleep.
When I eat oreo's I only eat the side that has icing, I throw the other half away. My Grandfather HATED that I do this.
i have a crazy fear of fish. i'm scared they will eat my toes off. this makes swimming in lakes downright laughable.
when i clean, i have to move from the front door to the back door. this means my hall is always spotless and the back office, which i never seem to get to, is a holy mess.
I hate when people put their feet on me. HATE it. And DH does it to me all the time.
I also play the "what if" game over and over and over, and drive my DH crazy asking him all sorts of ridiculous "what if" scenarios.
I also despise my belly button. I don't know why. It was really tough when I was pregnant and it popped all the way out. Ugh, I just got the shivers thinking about it.
1. I am afraid of squirrels, no joke.
2. It takes me twice the amount of time to finish my meal, compared to everyone else around me. A 6 inch sub at Subway is a good 35-40 minute meal.
3. My favorite pasttime last summer was riding my boyfriend's Yamaha R1 (sport motorcycle). I learned how to ride on the first try...no more of that though!
i hate pumpkin pie. terrible, but true.
i need to always iron my clothes - even if i'm only heading to the library or the grocery. kinda difficult with baby taking up all my time, but i still do it. DH thinks it's nuts.
my cat's name is maximus lord kittensley furface. my late pomeranian was named peachie-puppy von barkwoofington. i had a hamster called fidget wingnut busyblunderbuss. thankfully, DH had a hand in naming our son - he's a nice, sensible "edward."
When I shower, I have to work from head to toe - wash hair, rinse, condition, rinse, wash face, rinse, wash body, rinse, shave, rinse.
My closet is arranged by item (shirts, dresses, skirts, pants), by sleeve length if applicable and then by rainbow order color. But my dresser drawers are a free for all.
1. I can't sleep with sleeves on. Long sleeves or short sleeves. I can only be in a tank or cami. Even in the middle of the winter.
2. I immediately move when I feel or see someone standing too close behind me on the subway platform. I get goosebumps and am paranoid that they are going to push me in the tracks. Crazy, I know.
1. I hate it when the sheets come untucked from the foot of the bed. I'll even get up in the middle of the night to tuck them back in again.
2. I always neatly fold my underwear after doing laundry. DH takes his boxers and stuffs them in the drawer - I'll go back later and fold his as well.
3. I cannot stand the feeling of crushing a bug. I trapped a beetle under a glass once until DH got home so he could pick it up and throw it away. Even thinking about it gives me the heebie-jeebies.
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
1. it really bothers me when a room is not symmetrical, and especially if something is not centered on a wall (be it a picture, piece of furniture, etc.)
2. i absolutely hate the feeling of dry lips, and am constantly applying burt's bees.
3. i always wash my face the same way, and rinse it off twice.
I must shave my legs every day. I hate stubble with a passion. A passion.
And who said they hate artificial grape? ME TOO! Ever since I had one of those damn_chewable Tylenols as a kid. Barf, barf, barf.
I do the same thing with Oreos, but I feed the half with no icing to the dog!
My co-workers make fun of me for this!
this! totally.
1) I can't stand day-old water. If it's in a glass and it's from the night before I will feed it to my plants. I hate the taste of stale water.
2) I do not own one pair of jeans but I do wear a lot of pant suits and formal pants. It's weird but I hate jeans on me.
3) I am better at reading foreign languages and understanding them than I am with verbal conversations.
4) I am adopted from a third world country
oh..hangers much always be the same way for me as well as color coded. My closest looks like a rainbow
speaking OCD....my firends all make fun of me for keeping my 3 yos stuff so neat. Such as...you know those a b c magnets for the fridge? At all times, unless DD is standing there playing with them, have them in perfect order. My freinds mess them up or hide a letter everytime they come over just to be stinkers. lol
1. I wash my hands about five times in the shower.
2 I have to do the same routine in the shower everytime or I feel a little dirty. (Wash hands, wash hair and leave shampoo on it while I shave my armpits, rinse, wash hands, wash face and rinse, wash hands, wash body and rinse, wash hands, rinse everything again, wash hands.)
i just LOLed at this. so funny!!
oh you just reminded me of that and now i want to puke! thanks lol.
I can blink with both eyes (obviously), but I can only wink with my left. I cannot close my right eye indepenently.
I have to have notice that people are coming over--no 'just stopping by.' Why? Because I have to clean my house first. And that does include making the bed, even though no guests would ever go in there.
I'm an absolute freak about how things are folded. The towels have to all be the same with the tag on the inside and the fancy edge on the outside. We have two colors, and they're stacked every-other in the closet. My socks have lettering on the outside of them, so there has to be a left and a right and they have to be in the drawer with the lettering on the outside. Hanging shirts have to face left. I iron all shirts and pants (yes, jeans and sweatshirts, too).
I can't eat the ends of anything..no crust on the bread, no banana ends, no pickle ends, no poptart ends, and etc.
To turn on a lamp I always have to click it twice to turn it on and twice to turn it off
I can't stand to squish bugs..eww..I hate it when they pop..uck. It gives me the whillies thinking about it.
I do everything left to right. Change diaper, left side gets snapped first. Put left leg on first, left sleeve first, left sock first.
ALso, the two things I am most scared of are the dentist (I have to get nitrous for a cleaning and exam) and being sticky. I can't stand touching something sticky and immediately have to wash my hands afterwards. Wiping them on a napkin or using sanitizer does not work. I can still feel the sticky. Cotton candy, honey, and the bottle of syrup make me shudder with dread...
Now I can remember somethings!!
I can't sleep with socks on I feel like suffocating! (sp?)
I can't drink water in a glass tha was filled with something else before
I HAVE to eat drinking water..no juice no sodas no nothing
