So, I got Tagged

My friend and neighbor Haley tagged me. And I thought that since I have taken nearly two days to think about it, I should attempt to post on it. The deal is, that I am supposed to list 6 of my quirks. I am sure I have way more than that, but some of them are a little hard to put into words. So, here goes....

1. I hate to plan parties!! I am NOT an event organizer, if I am put in charge of something, then it is almost a guarantee that it will flop! It is inevitable that everyone will either be out of town on that date, or will completely forget/have an emergency.

2. I don't like needles, and I can't stand to watch the first few cuts of a surgical procedure. Why is this quirky? Well, I am going to be a nurse..so this could be a problem..so let me clarify..I don't like needles coming at me, in me, etc. I have absolutely no problem administering them to others! The other issue, well, let's just say that the OR will NOT be my specialty! I am fine once everything is laid open, it just gives me the willies to watch someone being cut, don't ask me why...it just does.

3. I have never looked my age. I haven't starting enjoying this particular aspect of my genetic makeup just yet. All the middle aged women I have ever talked to keep telling me how much I'll enjoy it when the time comes. Right now it can just be downright annoying when other talk down to me, or I get passed over for certain things because I 'look' too young. Though it is fun to watch the jaws drop when they finally get around to finding out my actual age!!

4. I, along with my pal Haley, LOATHE making decisions! It seriously puts me under major stress, and it drives my poor husband crazy. Maybe subconciously it is a way to shift blame from myself. If I don't make the decision, and everything ends up in a big mess...hey - not my fault! I didn't make the decision!!!!!! I'm sure part of it also has to do with the fact that I am a people pleaser, and don't want anyone mad at me if my decision is a bad one. So, basic point, I try not to be the one making decisions...(Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..I'm such a good little ewe!)

5. I am an agressive driver. Anyone who has ever been in the car with me knows this. If you are having an oblivious day, or you are majorly distracted, or if you just LOVE going slow and/or have nothing better to do, PLEASE (and this is the nicest I will get in regards to this subject) STAY AWAY FROM ME!! I will buzz you, give you crusties, and shake my head at you as well as yell things that I know you will never hear because that is just how I move past it....and you. To my friends who have commented about my comments...yes, I KNOW they can't hear me, but I DON'T CARE!! Hee Hee...

6. I am not an organized person in the least bit, but if I have my own personal belongings set up a certain way, please be a decent human being and DON'T TOUCH!!! I can be very anal about the way I 'organize' things. My husband learned this while we were dating. I had some knick knacks on a desk, and he innocently switched them around in looking at them. I came in sometime later, saw them, made a disgruntled noise, and could not relax until I had them back in their proper places. Rob thought, and still does think, that this quirk is ridiculous and hilarious. My mother-in-law will come visit from time to time and re-organize my kitchen, and it doesn't bother me at all...to me, this is communal property, not my personal stuff. What really annoys me is when my clothes/toiletries/craft supplies/scrapping crap/stuff that is mine-and-mine-alone gets shuffled. It just really unsettles me, I know...stupid, but it does.

Okay..so there are six quirks that might be new to some and old hat to others. Now I am supposed to 'tag' six other people on their blogs...trouble is, I don't really know 6 people who blog....owell!
