omg. both of you have reminded me of things!! my husband CANNOT rinse his dishes or pots and pans. i'm grateful he cooks, don't get me wrong, but when i go to do the dishes i spend time and energy i don't have scouring these dishes. grrrr. finally, our dw died and then he was able to rinse, on top of the clean dishes i had soaking in rinse water. can't win!
the other reminder is silly, but i talk to all my dolls and teddy bears. and the plants outside, too. if i have to move a doll i tell her why, and i introduce one doll to the others. wacko? i prefer to think of it as a rich imagination!

Except for the light switches and feeding the dog and cat..............I "represent" every one of these confessions/obsessions/quirks..............lol..... true, absolutely true.... and even more.

Ruth is SO RIGHT..... AMEN again.

This thread is SO funny!!! I can't fall asleep if the closet door is open, even if it's just cracked open a bit....I'll lay there awake tossing and turning not knowing why...until I think about the closet door....have to get up and shut it. Then fall right asleep !!

OMG! Me, too! The closet door HAS to be shut! And I have to sleep on the side of the bed furthest from the bedroom door. And have a nightlight on. And socks. How have I lived all these years, being so "quirky" (is that code for "NUTS"? LOL!)???

No, eating in the living room is NOT wacky. We NEVER eat at the dining table (well, right now it's covered with quilting stuff, so we couldn't if we wanted to!). We eat where-ever. I usually eat in bed & DH usually eats at his 'puter desk. It's a pretty casual atmosphere around these parts.

Oh, I'd forgot about my money. Yes, mine all has to face the same way & be from left to right, the smaller bills to the larger ones. As for eating at the counter, I read somewhere that calories don't count if you eat them standing up... LOL! Hey, it works for me (the thought, not the actual phenomena -- if it worked, I'd weigh 48 pounds)!

I don't think of them as quirks or habits. I choose to think of them as what makes me so adorable & lovable... LOL! And yes, mine drive my people CRAZY, too. When DH (jokingly) says "You are so weird", I reply with "Yes. but I smell good" & he can't help but agree. It's like this Happy Bunny cartoon --->

I have quite a few but the ones that drive DH nuts is that I have to brush my teeth and go to the little girls room just before I can leave the house.Also before I can quilt, sew or do whatever hobby my dishes have to be done before I feel like I can do them.Also One project has to be done and cleaned up before I can start another project. I have had to pack away a few and then they becomes a ufos cause I hate trying to figure where I left off and what I was doing again. Boy do I miss my sewing room here so I could just shut the door. Here I work in the dining room and find that hard to do sometime.

ROFL you're exactly right. But I find myself doing that nowadays. Scary!

I eat one row around then eat across the cob.
