Unspectacular Quirks

So I loved this post that my good friend Erin put on her blogspot and have decided to copy...it was funny to hear some of the things that she is so anal about. After knowing her for six years some of these things I still did not know and I thought it was kind of fun. The goal is to list six unspectacular quirks about yourself...I don't know if I can come up with that many, but here goes.

1) It absolutely drives me insane when Ryan won't finish the dishes! He's so good to help, but he just hates doing pans and absolutely avoids them at all costs. Even when he thinks he's done the dishes all the way, he usually hasn't washed out the sink. Love you honey!!

2) Like Erin, I hate it when the lids to Teague's bottles don't match. I noticed that some of the bottles weren't matching, and I would try to match them up when I did dishes and couldn't get them all to match up. I love Ryan, and thought that maybe it was his color blindness, so one night I asked him to try really hard to look at the colors and match them up. He responded by stating that one of the lids to the bottles had melted in the dishwasher. Now I have to put up with at least one of his bottles not matching at any given time. It's really annoying.

3) I'm like that with clothes too. Ryan will dress the kids for me some mornings, and because he didn't pick the pants that went with that shirt I'm up the stairs finding the right one. When he can help it, Ryan always asks what I want the kids wearing.

4) I LOVE to play card games. Solitaires are great, but I will even play 2 player card games by myself while filling in for both people. I try very hard when playing one person or the other not to help the other hand...I don't know if that makes sense, but I really enjoy it. Nicole says there were many a nights when we were living together that she heard me up in my room at night shuffling cards.

5) I HATE giving the kids a bath. I don't know what it is, I think it might have to do with being on my knees at the edge of the bathtub for so long. I usually try to talk Ryan into giving them the bath and then I will get them dresssed. When it is absolutely necessary for me to give the kids a bath I usually try to get it done as quickly as possible.

6) I LOVE to cook! To many of you this may not come as a surprise, but I love learning new recipes and trying new things in the kitchen. I'm not creative enough to come up with recipes on my own but I'm always trying to find something easy and new to try.
