Tag {You're It!}

I was tagged by Megan. Here are the rules:


  • Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
  • Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them.
  • Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers' blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

Quirk Numero Uno: I get annoyed when I call my bank, or any other business establishment in the United States of America, and the first thing said on their automated system is not in English. (I'm not racist, and believe that many people from Mexico and South America are very productive individuals - but we are in America, where our National Language is English, so why are we catering to that? - on a side note, if Ryan were ever to drag me South of the boarder to visit some wonderful places, I would wholeheartedly expect to speak their language...not that I even know two words in Spanish or Portuguese, but I would at least listen respectfully and nod. My intention was not to offend with this quirk...it's just that...an odd quirk.)


Quirk Number Two: I love to Iron...I really enjoy the 'task' when I have the time; the ironing board, starch, iron and spray bottle are ready to go, and I have no distractions. Because that rarely happens, I rarely iron. (Deep down I know I'm not a bad wife for not ironing, but it does annoy me...weird, I know.)


Quirk Number Three: Before a hymn or any other song is sung, I have to read who wrote it, the year, and what tune it is to. Stuff like that is interesting to me.


Quirk Number Four: Even if I just posted moments ago, I have to check my blog to see what it looks like if someone else were to look at it...and even if I don't think someone else has posted, I have to check their blog, too....I guess you could say I have an addiction. (I don't think my insurance covers that kind of counseling. Does yours?)


Quirk Number Five: I call my mom at least twice a day - even if I have nothing to tell her, or no questions, I have to call - just to talk, I guess. Good thing we have 'free' mobile-to-mobile.


Quirk Number Six: I prefer to type rather than write...It just looks more neat. Maybe that's my issue. I'm a perfectionist...in some things. (definitely not getting my dishes done - although when I do get them done, I have to wipe all the wet spots down, and sometimes even get out a towel to dry off what I just wiped off...like the counter or the sink...I despise water spots!)


I tag: Tiffany, Rachel H., Heather, Lindsey, Linsey, & Cherisse

I'm right there with you on a lot of these, Deanna! I just don't know about the whole ironing thing. Although, it is a life saver when sewing!
