I've been 'tagged' by my friend Kim to share 6 of my quirks...hope it's worth while.. hopefully I am not exposed as too much of a freak after this!
1. I cannot stand the sound of someone eating. (My brother used this to his advantage a lot while we were growing up) I don't like the sound of slurping, excessive crunching, scraping or any other related sound. Having children has given me a new tolerance for it though. But only for humans under the age of 5....
2. Before leaving on a long car trip I always take my car to get washed and cleaned inside and out. I can't stand sitting in a dirty car for a long period of time. And then I usually go straight to the car wash the day after we get back home.
3. I have gotten very claustrophobic as I get older. When falling asleep at night I cannot have the covers pulled up any farther than my shoulders (definitely not touching my face) or have anyone touching me.
4. I am a backseat driver to the extreme. I get so nervous when other people drive that I do the "invisible break pedal" where I slam my foot into the floor expecting it to stop the car or I tap on the door when they are getting too close to the car in front of us, and it gets excessively harder and faster the closer we get, and I have been known to blurt out "WATCH OUT!" or "OH NO!" involuntary (which usually results in the driver jumping and makes me even more nervous).
5. I tend to worry about my health or the health of my family to a point that it could be called hypochondria. I have thought I had SARS, Monkey Pox and I have learned to keep most of those concerns in my head because of the ridicule my family en stows upon me for it.
6. I am against ketchup at breakfast (it is a condiment that should only be used after 12 noon) and that goes for salsa, too...and fruit at dinner time, such as on pineapple on pizza, fruit should not be mixed with meat.
Thanks Kim...so now I have to tag 6 friends..so I tag Cyndy, Mollie, Maggie, Nicole, Amber and Laura.

Don't worry you were not exposed as a freak!! How are you feeling?
I'm not really sure I know WHY you would tag me.... you know I have absolutely NO quirks.....
Wow, I'm really going to have to think about this one...or maybe I should just ask those that know me well...they could probably tell me how weird I am :-) I love your answers!! I don't think you're a freak!!
I do the same thing with the back seat driving.... yet mine is holding on tight to the handle on the door of the car... and pulling weird faces or grunting (as uncle scott would say it)
Did you know.....
A freshly washed and waxed car on a road trip improves the fuel economy by 7%???
It's a well known fact!
Heidi - those are great! I listed the noisy eating thing as one of my quirks too! I thought I was the only one!
