Tag, I'm it!

Even though I specifically told Brittany not to tag me, I knew it would get back to me somehow when she tagged Jen. She has now tagged me on her blog, and I am supposed to list 7 quirky things about myself. I am not sure that anyone would specifically label me as "quirky," but I am pretty weird.

1. I sometimes (not all the time) count my steps, especially on stairways. I know the specific number of stairs I climb to reach the 2nd floor at work to my desk/lab...borderline obsessive compulsive some would say.

2. I will not drink the bottom of any drink in a can or bottle...I can't stand the thought of backwash, even my own. On that same thought, I have a lot of trouble sharing a drink with a straw with Reagan because 1-year-olds are notorious for backwash.

3. I have an order of how I get ready for bed and for the routine after I get out of the shower in the mornings. I even say the bedtime order in my head when I am done to make sure I didn't miss anything.

4. After cleaning the kitchen or the bathroom, I must dry everything because I hate waterspots and streaks.

5. I get teary-eyed very easily, like if I even see a cute child or think of a sweet moment. I also usually bawl with sad movies (like quivering lips and everything).

6. When I eat something like Chex Mix, I have to have the same combination in every bite (2 corn chex and a pretzel...the rest either gets thrown away or Nick eats it).

7. I have to check my alarm clock at least 4 times after I set it to make sure it's set right with the am/pm selection correct.

So, now that I made myself sound like a whacko obsessive compulsive by telling you just some of my quirks, I am supposed to tag my blogging friends. I only have 2 since many of my blogging friends have already been tagged.
