My QUIRKS, thanks to A Book A Day:

#1 I can't stand people that JUST DONT GET IT. Their ignorance eats away at me for hours or longer.

2. I used to have a thing about the way pillows were arranged (thanks to mom), but now that I have kids who really could care less - my new one is the arrangement of things higher up like pictures, clocks, books, etc. If I sit down and just look around and see something off, I redecorate! Hence, a long weekend project a few days ago. I guess I sat down too long!?

3. I am a pimple poker. It was always about my own face, but since my hubby lets me for some odd reason, I do it to him too. My kids cover their face and hide when they see my hands come near their faces. (smart kids). It drives me nuts to see blemishes on others faces, but don't worry - I'll stay back. For some odd reason, it's cool when it's mine, but not other peoples. Ew! Sorry to those sqweamish folks.

4. I get stuck on an idea and it bothers me A LOT until it gets done. I have a to do list a mile long. Which is the real quirk - I write TO DO lists every day. If they get a little messy or more than two things crossed off, I rewrite it. This consumes a small portion of my day, but it helps me relax a little to know I have a backup of my thoughts.

5. It's not the being there that's hard, it's the getting there. That is the best description I have for my social anxieties. You'll never know it if you've met me, talked to me, whathaveyou. But it's definately there, just ask my hubby, who has to convince me to go to a lot of gatherings either by gladly going or going guiltily. Also working on this with my therapist.

6. Perfectionist? Not so sure that is the right word, but it is close. I like things done in a certain way, and I like things neat and tidy. If the kitchen is a mess, the whole house just looks dirty. If the whole house looks dirty, I'd rather be shopping. SO I do my best to keep things neat and clean, but let it still look a little "lived in." (right, Jamie?)

7. Okay, that lead me to a necessary 7th quirk: When I go shopping, I have the tendency to get excited about everyother thing I see. Thanks to my husband's "look" we have not purchased it all. But my other list of "Things to get" is just as long as my "Things to do" list.
