7 quirks

Thanks for the tag, Michelle:
Hopefully you all don't think that I am too crazy. :)

1. I have tweezers in my car...and I use them. It seems like I always need them when I look in the mirror, and the light in the car is amazing.
2. I see people's names in letters, and count each letter automatically, and they have to end in an even number, or I recount them again so they do end equal...It's not as bad as it used to be.
3. I collect and have binders and files full of kids craft projects and activities, and it is all very organized, but it is the only aspect of my life that is.
4. I stress eat, and I love carbs and sugar, but hate being over weight.
5. I hate wearing socks.
6. I hate cleaning, and hate having a messy house...so I am pretty much depressed about my house all the time, it is either too messy, or I have to clean. And I like to make messes. Of course there are those rare days when I have just cleaned my entire house, and am happy for at least a day or two. (I think I see some kind of a pattern here with #4, and this one.)
7. I love the sound and smell of fresh garlic sizzling in olive oil.

I tag everyone reading this!
