Ericka Tagged Me!

Ericka tagged me! And so here we go with the meme thing.
1 - List seven weird/quirky habits about myself
2 - Tag seven people to do the same
3 - not just say “whoever wants to do it” or refuse to tag people

1. I kiss the back of my hand and tap the roof of my car as I go through yellow lights. I'm not sure why. It started with my friends in high school and it's just continued. I've heard different reasons from different people, but none of them are the reason I do it, because I don't feel like anything special is going to happen if I do/don't do it.

2. I can't feel comfortable living somewhere until I've put salt along all of the windows and doorways. It's my big "oooh I'm a witch!" concession. I don't work a whole lot of magic, but this is definitely one thing I have to do. Interesting sidenote, I never had to do it at our last apartment. I always just felt safe there.

3. When I'm fidgeting with my hands I will run one thumb across my other thumb nail, alternating back and forth.

4. I hate it when other people use words such as ironically or literally incorrectly, but it drives me flat out insane when I use them incorrectly because I have been subjected to the wrongness so much. (I've pretty much given up on ironic, but I will never stop the fight on the misuse of literal.)

5. Andrew enjoys pointing out that I drink from the left side of my mouth. This is one of those things that I don't know why I do it, but have become incredible self-concious about. If I had to guess I'd say it's because I can't drink and read effectively if I don't hold the glass to the side.

6. If I'm wearing a necklace, I'll constantly mess with it. If it has a pendant, I'll either rub it or tap it against my lips. It helps me think.

7. I plan to curse around my children. I am going to teach them that words are powerful, and there's no such thing as a "bad" word, just an inappropriate one. There will be much talking about what is appropriate and what isn't, just like with any other behavior. I am looking forward to my children. I think they'll be fun.

Now let's see... I choose: (from Livejournal) Melissa, Courtney, Mark, Sarah M., Jordan, Trish (who can fill it in for Rebekah if she'd like) and Jessica

Ok, this was sent to me or Rebeka, my choice.

1. I hate empty toilet paper tubes in the bathroom, your in there doing nothing anyway, change the roll!
2. I have a phobia of Alcohol, which is fun with a hubby who drinks 
3. I move my toe in an up and down motion, to relax, it looks like its hereditary, my mom makes circles, and Beka dose too.
4. I named nearly all my WOW characters the same thing.
5. I grew up in a house that didn’t believe in G-d, chose to become a faithful Christian, Then went and married a Jewish boy.
6. I like to “sneak up” on my food. Phil and Catherine like to watch me eat cause I sorta “pounce”.
7. I hate water.

I don’t know if Rebeka has 7 really weird or quirky habits yet.

1. She prefers to eat while we are both laying in bed with her on her right side and me on the left. Trust me I didn’t start this, when she was young, at night she would eat laying on her left, me on the right, since that put her beside me and away from Phil (who was scared of rolling over onto her). This preference puts her between us (prolly warmer).
2. She started climbing stairs practically before she could crawl.
3. She could roll (by choice) from her back to her front (at four months, when she’s not supposed to till six) and couldn’t roll from front to back till six months (which is supposed to come first).
4. She was born playing with her tongue, and continues to this day. Sticking it out, rolling it around and such.
5. She likes men with facial hair, preferably shaggy beards. (most babies shy away from fuzzy guys. That I’m aware of)
6. Rebeka is in cloth diapers(instead of disposable) and she informs us(by grumping) as soon as she’s wet, she doesn’t like it. She is usually a good quiet girl, so you’d think after seven months, we’d know that when she was grumping that’s what it was, but nope, we sit there looking at her “why is she so grumpy today? That’s not like her at all”.
7. Anything Daddy gives her to eat she gobbles up quickly and enjoys, anything mom has for her to eat(solids wise) she refuses, spits out, makes faces about.


Lisa, Toni, Catherine, Carissa, Liz, Chris, Phil

I made Phil do it, here is his.

1. Only listens to Christian music in the truck.
2. Cocoons himself in blankets to sleep.
3. Can’t pass up the opportunity to pun.
4. Deals with tension by using humor.
5. Has weird allergies, to red food coloring and perfume.
6. Very physical, likes hugging people.
7. He says he’s a hermit, but surrounds himself with friends.
