Quirks

Lelly, from Sangria Times, has tagged anyone to tell five quirky things about themselves.  Ahhhhh, where do I begin? LOL

1.  I do not like my food mixed together (or even TOUCHING for that matter) in my plate.  One of my favorite restaurants has a delicious dish that is pecan encrusted grouper OVER garlic mashed potatoes COVERED with stir-fried green beans.  I always have to request the grouper be placed NEXT to the potatoes with the green beans NEXT to them.

2.  I like my house to be immaculate.  This doesn't mean it always IS, but I try hard to keep my house extremely neat (ok, can you tell I don't have children yet? hehe)  My 4-runner, however, usually looks like a small family has been living in it.  The back is always full of something, and the front is usually littered with various articles of clothing and empty food and drink containers.  Why am I such a neat freak with my house but such a slob with my car?

3.  I HATE tomatoes.  I do not like chunks of raw tomatoes in my salsa or chunks of cooked tomatoes in my spaghetti sauce.  However, I love smooth salsa, marinara sauce, ketchup, etc.  Hmmmm

4.  You will NEVER find me with my hair down at home.  It is always pulled back in a ponytail or piled on top of my head in some fashion or another.  I can't stand my hair in my face or brushing my shoulders.  However, I refuse to get it cut short.  Go figure.

5.   I chew entire packs of gum at a time.  I will chew a piece for a few minutes and as soon as it starts to lose flavor, I will pop another piece, one right after the other, until I chew the whole pack.  (OK, I know this is odd, but my husband, on the other hand,  cannot chew gum at all - he immediately swallows it - he says as soon as he starts chewing, he feels like he needs to swallow it.  Which one of us is weirder? LOL)

I vote for you hubby!  LOL!  He will have a bubble gum tree growing in his belly if he keeps doing that!  KIDDING, but that's what my mother always said.  :)  There are a ton of people in J-land that don't like their food to touch, so you really aren't that weird.  ;)
Hugs and love,
Lisa

I do that with gum to.  It is a running joke at work since I go though so much gum.  They even bought me a huge package of gum for Christmas.  The funny thing is I don't chew it any where else but at work!  Must be a stress releaser!  Lelly
