I'm Tagged.....My Quirks out in the Open!

I've been tagged! The Rules are... tell about 6 quirks of yours and then Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same, be sure to leave a comment to let them know.

**some of these are embarrassing and might just require a 12-step program!! lolol**

1. One of my biggest quirks (or OCD as the Laurels used to call it!) is that the toilet paper roll has to be turned a certain way. It has to flow coming over the top. If I'm at your house and it's going under, I can't leave the bathroom without changing it....sorry!

2. Before I can cook in the Kitchen, it must be completely clean, and all dirty dishes put in the dishwasher, nothing in the sinks or on the counters and everything wiped off and nothing out of place. And by the time I'm done cooking, all pots/pans have to be put in the dishwasher or cleaned before I will sit down to eat--only exception is if my family is in there starving! I also can't stand cluttered counter tops--I have to have them free of clutter.

3. I constantly check for my purse when I'm driving in the car. I have to have it in my sight to make sure it's still there or if it's in the backseat, when I ask my kids if it's back there, they say there's no way it's still not in the car because we haven't even stopped anywhere. They get annoyed with me.....but at least I have never lost my purse!!

4. When I get up in the morning, I like to make the bed right away before doing anything else, sometimes before my husband even has a chance to get out!

5. All towels and bath cloths have to be folded a certain way and put in the linen closet/ bathroom cabinets so they're all uniform. (Morgan says I actually do that with all my laundry)

6. I go in a certain order when I shower and can't hardly make myself go out of the order--such as if I want to leave conditioner in my hair longer than usual.

7. I know, only supposed to list 6, but my friend Shannon's quirks reminded me of one that I can't believe I forgot.....my GermX...I don't leave home without it! I have some in my car, my purse and in my bathrooms at home and at the kitchen sink. I use it so much, my hands get so dry. I only use public restrooms in emergencies and try not to shake hands (nothing personal) which gets kinda hard on Sundays at church. I don't allow others to drink/eat after me--even my own family--I didn't let my children share with each other either--I feel we stay healthier that way..... I'm sure I have more quirks I just can't remember right now, but I think I've shared enough!

Basically I'm just anal about A LOT of things!! I tag Britt, Cheril, Marsha, Margot, Erin and my good friend Shannon--no more excuses--you have to create your blog now so we can know all about your quirks!! Thanks Jaime for this fun Tag!

haha, I wish I had a couple of your quirks... like making sure the kitchen is completely clean... sounds great.
And I actually started a blog (secretly) after we talked about it.. just to get the feel. Now it won't be a secret anymore... you still have to show me how to make it cute... even if no one is interested :-))
