It's tricky narrowing my quirks down to 7...
1. I can't stand a dirty car. It drives me crazy, especially since 90% of the time it's just plain gross. When things get really bad, me and the kids jump in the car and detail it. Yup, look at them having a good time. I can feel them dirtying it up as I write this!
2. I must have a mid-night snack every night at about 8:30pm. The kids are in bed then, and Sam and I have usually settled down to watch a Food Network Program. Unfortunately, we are very susceptible to what their cooking on TV, and usually, what their making is what we'll try to re-create at home. The nachos at 9PM...definitely not a good idea in hindsight.
3. Fingerprints on any household surface drives me nuts. Yes, I realize it sounds like I'm a clean-freak (and I probably am), but if I see prints I'm all over it with cleaner. And yes, with 4 kids, I'm wiping it up a lot.
4. The last sip. Every night, before we drop off to bed, I have to have one last sip of water. And it won't do if Sam is up and around and it's convenient for him to get it. For some reason the water just does not taste as good unless he's stirred from the warm bed and has to walk a ways to make it happen. Yes. I'm mean.
5. I detest having my hair professionally cut. I think I've only made it to a Super-Cuts 3 times in my lifetime before I said never again. Before I was married I trimmed it myself, and later Sam took over. He does a great job, but that still doesn't stop him from trying to get me into the hairdressers chair.
6. My feet are, and forever will be, extremely personal to me. I do not understand how people can get pedicures (or manicures for that matter), because the whole idea of someone touching my toes gives me the willies. Sam knows the worst gift he could ever get me is anything to do with a spa treatment. Yuck!
7. I love cookbooks...and cooking...and eating...and basically anything that has to do with food. It is so much fun to pour over new recipes and select those that I'd like to make for the whole family. My favorite new cookbook is "The Best Light Recipe" by Cooks Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. There is nothing better than taking classic recipes and trimming them down so they taste just as fantastic but are healthier for everyone.Okay, those are just a few of my quirks! I can't wait to read about some of yours!
