Quirks

This idea came my way per Rebekah Craft. Fun stuff. So, here are my quirks:

1. I sleep with a light on and the bedroom door open --too many murder mystery books. I figure I need to be able to see whatever is coming my way.
2. I usually read anywhere from 4-8 books at a time, which is why I never finish books quickly, well, unless it’s Harry Potter. I start reading something and then I come across another book I get equally excited about and I start reading that and there’s always a few magazine articles in the mix, not to mention the continuous line of audio books, which are my favorite. What can I say? I’m easily distracted.
3. My desk at school is a giant mess. Since the day I started, it’s always been a colossal disaster with assorted half eaten food items, coffee and tea stains on half the papers, kids lost items, gardening seeds, science experiments, you name it. It’s always a mountain of papers and no matter how much I sort, it continues to overflow. I’ve given up trying to organize it. I know right where everything is though…..mostly!
4. I’ve got to be able to walk barefoot in my house, so the floor’s gotta be clean.
5. I’ve been getting manicures with a little Asian lady solely for the purpose of her giving me a jade plant. That was the whole reason I even decided to get my nails done there because I got sucked in from the window to needing to see those jades up close and personal. You should see the jade plants she has in her shop! They’re like trees. Unbelievable. The first time I went there I told her how awesome they were and she said, “You like them. I give to you. You come back and I give to you. I throw them out. We got so many. They grow too much.”
6. I can’t eat an orange if it has any of that white stuff hanging off of it, so I sit there peeling all the little strings off…..Yeah, it’s tedious.
