My Quirks:

1. I have to have a clean car...vacuumed, polished, and kid-crust free. In fact it's gotten a little out of control, without realizing it I've made comments to some close friends about this little "quirk" I have and now the word is out! No one gets into my car without noticing if it's clean or not, and it's even worse when I get in their car...."oh sorry, does all this DIRT make you uncomfortable?" SO embarrassing!

2. Like my good friend Dallas...I plan time to make my plans. I have to have my day set out in my head when I wake up, with only little flexibility. I plan almost everything, fun, eating, blog reading time, showering, and working out. The result of a day unplanned or having to make major adjustments is never catastrophic, but I do get grumpy sometimes. I have become much more laid back about this since marrying Olin....who in his perfect world there would be no plans (which is something I love about him), so therefore it's caused me to adjust and be more flexible. Although I wouldn't really call myself flexible at this point (if we're speaking honestly here) but I would say maybe..."slightly" bendable.

3. After I hit adulthood and began having my own little family, I've noticed that I have a few "must haves" and "won't live with outs", these I have realize come from maybe when I was a child not getting enough of or wishing I had more of these things. I will share a few....
1. Clean, white socks- the funny thing is I only care that my children have them
2. Sweets- I love having treats in the house, I love something sweet around 3pm everyday, even if its a bite-sized candy bar or small scoop of ice cream.
3. I like to have something fun to do everyday, I don't like going through the day with only work on the agenda.
4. Nice lotions and creams- this is actually a recent discovery. Olin brought me home a sweet little bundle of gifts and it included some if these.

4. I indulge in a TV episode during nap time. I like to do this, and the bad thing is I haven't figured out why. I like a large variety of shows, and sometimes I'll just get on youtube and watch dumb stuff for 30 minutes. This is just something that I can look forward to on those hard days I guess. (this is usually when I'd have my treat)

5. I spend WAY too much time on the phone. Coming from a family of 12 children, and being a social person, I guess it's something I like to do. Luckily on our plan we have free minutes to 10 people.....all of which get used. In a typical month my phone will have between 2000-3000 minutes and 200 texts. I once had 1000 texts...oops! This is really something I've worked on lately, my last bill I only had 1500 minutes....progress.

6. I only like to shower every other day. This really grosses people out for some reason, but it wouldn't if they had dry skin like I do. My hair gets literally crispy when I shower everyday, and my face starts to flake...I know, it's so dang nasty. So every other day is how I roll (unless of coarse I get stinky from working out or by doing something fun, that never holds me back from showering everyday...don't worry)
