Chez Larsson (the ultra organized Benita in Sweden) listed her six quirks today and challenged others.  So here's a try at mine:

  1. Preferred toppings on waffles/french toast: peanut butter + real maple syrup. [listing it as a quirk since I get made fun of for wanting peanut butter at breakfast.
  2. When I picture the days of the week + months of the year and even hours in the day, I "see" it in my mind as going from right to left…with midweek (Wednesday) being in the middle….and saturday/sunday on the far left – to end the week.  Same thing with months.  June is in the middle..and since we're in September, it's more left in my head.  So for the day, I picture midnight as far right on a timeline…with noon being in the middle…and afternoon just left of center.
  3. I've had two concussions with resulting short term memory loss.  You can tell me we've had a discussion about something and I'll thoroughly deny it.  Tell me anyway that we had the discussion.  Yet I'll remember random things…..hold on..that's #4.
  4. I may have short term memory loss but I'll remember random things like the fact that your cousin has a green bookcase at home or that your niece's best friend prefers to watch the movie "Mary Poppins" repeatedly.

  5. I don't like making left turns while driving.  So I'll go a bit out of my way to go right instead or find a place that has a left turn arrow..making it a more precise turn.

  6. I can't whistle. I can blow air..but can't whistle.

Done.  Six quirks.  Anyone else?  I'd love to read yours!

 

(sorry – spacing issues. awaiting typepad's help with this….. the perfectionist in me is frustrated that the spacing is off.  but I suppose that makes me human! imperfect!)

    hahah do you think your dislike of making left turns stems from your time spent in SF – where it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to make legal left turns?? ahhah

    EXCELLENT THINKING. that has to be it. never try an illegal left turn on 19th avenue. not that I tried it. I would use the San Francisco Left Turn instead (three RIGHT turns to go around the block and find your way from there).
