Quirk #1- I am OCD or a perfectionist, however you'd like to call it...everything has to have a place and everything needs to return to it's place. This is very hard to break with little children as they don't understand my crazy need to have this accomplished.

Quirk #2- I am a planner, spontanaety is not really my kind of fun. I carry a planner at all times and sometimes purchase a new one because I made a mistake in the old one or one of the kids colored on a paper (never mind if it's one I won't use-going along with the OCD description). I LOVE to know what's happening AT LEAST one month ahead. This is rather irritating for Jake as he is way more the fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants kind of guy.

Quirk #3- I am left handed...personally, I do not think this is quarky, but for some reason others do...it's normal to me ;)

Quirk #4- I organize mine and my childrens clothing by color, sleeve length, size and season...my husband says he can't dress the kids because he doesn't want to ruin my system, so I end up getting the outfits out the night before so that no system is broken

Quirk #5-I collect recipes-the cupboard above my stove is chuck full of recipe cards, recipe books, newspaper/magazine clippings all of recipes! I have so many recipes and have probably only tried an 1/8th of them, that I finally started a new blog, just to share and make myself try new recipes...Audi's Recipe Collection

Quirk #6- I LOVE bargains...I will drive all the way to Boise just to purchase my kids clothes at the monthly quarter sale (all items in the sidewalk sale are a quarter; clothing, blankets, shoes, books, etc.), never mind the gas it takes to get there...to me, I can purchase more outfits and items of clothing in a two hour rummage than if I were to drive to I.F. and search all day. I can usually come out of the quarter sale with over 100 items for $30 or under (sometimes I have a $10 off coupon)!! I LOVE yard sales for this reason too, I am not afraid to negotiate the price. Therefore, I have a hard time shopping anywhere else for things that are a $5 or less-a quarter is better :D (although I do break down sometimes and purchase new items as long as they are under $5).

There you have it, not real interesting. Although the rules did say they had to be unspectacular quirks. I think I accomplished that.

I tag...oh how I hate tagging...but I am a rule follower...Eloisa, Melissa, Amanda, Tina, Katie, and Tricia.
