I got tagged by the talented Dawn to list six weird things about myself. Hmm, six. How do I limit it to only that many?

1. I must, must brush my teeth before I take a shower. I can't be in the shower with morning mouth. Ick.
2. I'm rarely late. I have issues with people being chronically late, too. One of the most selfish things you can do is waste someone else's time.
3. I'm messy as heck. I don't hang up my clothes or put things away until it builds up to a breaking point. Then I put everything away and thus the cycle of chaos begins anew. Plus I hate housework. I find it so incredibly unfulfilling. I keep the main living areas of my home pretty clean, but my side of the bed and my art studio are not a pretty sight.
4. I must have my toenails painted nicely at all times. Even if I'm not wearing sandals daily, I still have to look at my feet at the end of the day and I want 'em to look good.
5. There are many people who don't "get" the whole mixed media/collage/alternative art thing that I do. I do it, I love it...sorry if you don't get it.
6. I often crave gummy candy (sour patch kids, spice drops, gummy coke bottles, etc.).

If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged! Leave me a comment & let me know if you've done it.

Dina, that is a great list! I found the thing about brushing your teeth before showering especially interesting *grin* And I for one, love that funky, grungy, mixed-media collage thing you do....keep it up! Oh, and loved the pic too...great for the holiday card!

I put my lipstick on before I brush my teeth.
I own two chain saws.
I love manual labor.
Manual Labor is not the name of my husband, it is John.
John is my husband, he is weird too.

Don't have a blog so I will post it here for your entertainment.

*I can't drink the last bit of milk in the jug.
*I must read the paper in order. Have to have the sections right and the ads taken out.
*I have to eat breakfast before I brush. So that means a shower comes later.
*When I balance my checkbook I must balance it perfectly. If it is off by even a penny I will spend hours looking for it.
*When I read any magazine I have to read the letter from the editor first before I can look at the rest of it.
*If you give me rules, they must be followed!

There's my weird list.

um those people who don't get it - too bad for them.

anyway here's my list...

i can't grocery shop without a list. i think once in the past five years i've gone in for a full shop without a list and i was panicked the whole time about it.

I have lots of Food Quirks - lots of them. I could write a list a mile long - and you've seen it. :)

i have a full room of scrapbooking stuff and i'm uninterested in scrapping. actually thinking of stopping - how weird is that?

i get up at 6am and leave the house for work by 6:45 - and I make lunches in the morning!

i'm not overly concerned with my appearance - on the weekends i don't blow dry my hair and makeup is minimal around here!

After reading this I realized I too can't take a shower with out brushing my teeth!!!

Here's my list:

1. I can't spend money on myself with out feeling a large sense of guilt but I get pure pleasure out of shopping for others....my kids have a great clothes I have none.

2. It took me 8 years after getting my master's to start using it and it will probably take me 28 years to pay off my student loans.

3. I can't stand tying wet shoe laces....if my kids go puddle jumping and their shoes come untied their on their own!!!! (like fingers on the chalk board!)

4. I have to have at least two condiments with every meal.....I am a condiment addict.....could eat a pint of sour cream with a spoon (not that I do...but I could)
