a little quirky...I guess!

I have been tagged by Jodie!

Let's see just how Quirky I am.....
tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours:


Quirk #1:  I pop my gum.  I do it all the time, but when I am nervous, in a hurry or really concentrating on something it gets a lot louder and a lot more popping!

Quirk #2:  I make a list for everything.  It doesn't matter what the list is for, I make one.  I have them all over the house, in my purse and in the car.  I guess I do it because it makes me feel more organized.  I do it so much that now if I don't have a list for it, I forget!

Quirk #3:  I will only trim mine and the kids fingernails out side on the porch.  I hate to have the clippings flying all over the house and if I try to aim for the garbage, I will usually only hit it once in ten fingers and ten toes.  It's much easier to go to the porch.

Quirk #4:  I have a hard time being away from my kids.  I know so many people who love to drop off their kids and leave them all day.  I do love "my" time, but I prefer to have the kids with me.  When Erick and I would go to the Temple, and leave the kids with someone, I couldn't get home fast enough.  Erick would always want to stop and get a drink or something to eat after and I just wanted to go pick up the kids and then go get a drink or something to eat!

Quirk #5:  I pop my knuckles.  I know- I have heard it since I was a kid, my knuckles are going to get huge, but I can't stop and believe me I have tried.

Quirk #6:  I hate to loose ANYTHING!  If I loose it, I can't rest until I have found it.  This is the case with things like my keys, my cell phone, the camera, and it carries on to a list I made 2 months ago to game pieces, and even the kids toys.  When they get a new toy, I make sure I know what all the parts are and how many there are so that I can do a random check and make sure we still have all the pieces.  I makes me crazy, but I can't stop.  The worse things I have found so far is, Bryn loves the My Little Pony Ponyville, and there and shoes that you can get and  some that come with some of the ponies.  Well for a pony that makes 4 shoes.  I go crazy when I play with her if I can't find all four shoes to all the sets we have.  It is so bad, and I will spend most of the time we are playing, secretly looking for the lost shoes.  I will play like I am going shopping and then dig through the toys looking for the shoes!  Needless to say, my ponies LOVE to shop!!!

Quirk #7:  One extra, I brush my teeth every time I leave the house.  If we are going to leave just to go eat, I brush my teeth!  Erick doesn't understand it, but I feel like I am forgetting something if I don't brush right before I leave.  I have the kids do the same thing, so I guess they too are doomed to be quirky too!

Okay- I guess the conclusion is I AM QUIRKY!
now I tag: Laura, Jandi, McKel, Rindi and Tiffany!

How funny Leslie! I guess you are quirky! But I think that we all are in our own ways. But it's fun to hear about others quirks. Staci

I love it! You and I are SO much alike! I had a good laugh reading your list, especially about not being able to have things lost. I obsessed over this toy Sophia and I couldn't find FOREVER! It was finally found, so yes, I rest better now too :)

Leslie I love you and all your Quirky things, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that has many lists.

Yeah, you definitely are quirky. I still can hear that gum popping in my ear. I'm still thinking that you have more quirks you didn't list, but I can understand if you were getting tired of typing.
