Tagged.

My sister-in-law tagged me with a little thing about six quirks. I am pretty sure she was just trying to get me to start blogging again. It worked. Thanks Melly.

Rules:

1) Tell six of your quirks

2) Tag your friends.

So here are a few of my quirks:
1) I absolutely, under no circumstances can sleep in an unmade bed. Don't let me lead you to believe that I jump up and make the bed everyday. I prefer to wait until I am actually going to bed. This really frustrates my poor husband on the rare occasions when he goes to bed before me and I make the bed while he is trying to sleep. He usually says something about how I am letting out all the warm air. I just can't handle sheets and blankets that aren't lined up and nice and flat.

2) I like silence. I almost never have the radio on in the car. It really interferes with my thinking. Since I spend a lot of time in the car driving around my kids this is also when I unwind my brain.
3) I prefer to not go places by myself. I think this has something to do with growing up in a big family and someone always being around. Maybe this is why I also can get alone time even while driving around five kids. Probably some sort of big family self defense mechanism.

4) I really, really want to know everything worth knowing. I mean everything. It is a bit of an obsession. While I know that it isn't possible I sometimes get really frustrated with how much there is to learn and how little of it I know. I always joke with my kids that this is why I have to make it to the Celestial Kingdom. I could never be happy without the opportunity to keep learning.

5) I am not very good at giving compliments, or showing emotion. I can cry watching a sad movie, but I rarely cry when sad movies are playing out in my own life. I especially hate filling out the yearly brag forms for my kids teachers at school.

6)I hate every olive but standard black. I know this is a pretty weak quirk, but I am really drawing a blank and Finn currently has fingers full of olives which made me think of it.
