Here are six quirks that I can think of off the top of my head, I am sure I have many more that you may feel free to add. Please be kind.
1. I am not sure this is a quirk, but I like all my money to face the same way in my wallet, upright, and always in ascending denominations. I also provide this service free to Mike.
2. I can eat the same food over and over and over and never get tired. For like five or six years, yes years, I ate Mr. Goodcents three to five days a week, always the same sandwich, always the same way. Then something happened last year, I stopped eating Mr. Goodcents, just kicked it like a bad dog. Then this week, I had it two times...I will have to see what I do next.
3. I always see the number 714 recurring in my life. I always notice it when the sequence happens. I see it not only on clocks two times a day, but in weird places. I used to think that the universe was speaking to me and that these numbers must mean something...July 14th always peaks my interest. I was kinda nervous about the year 2007 thinking something would happen and now the year 2014 looms...are they linked somehow? I was also nervous about my 7th and 14th wedding years thinking something was going to happen. I now think the universe is just screwing with me because nothing ever happens with 714 except I keep noticing it.
4. I play a little license plate game that I made up myself. I will look at a license plate and make up words and phrases as they hit me, for example my friend used to have a license plate with XHY in it, to me that is ex-honey, so ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. My old license had the letters SYA, which I translate into See Ya. The words don't have to match the letters, it is just the first thing I think of when I see the plate. I always see my families initials in plates and those are special...I saw MSA the other day and I see two cars with JWM. Funny? Quirky? I don't know.
5. I don't like to borrow books from people because I feel too much pressure to read the books that I borrow and that takes all the fun out of it for me. I don't mean to offend my good friends, but if I read it, I am going to own it. A line from my favorite movie refers to this concept. A book was loaned to a guy who never returned it, and the owner of the book is so mad that he stops being friends with the guy. The owner is asked, "Would you loose a friend for the sake of a book?" The owner replies, "No, but he has." So you see, by buying the book, now I don't feel the pressure of reading the book and the pressure to return the book. I keep all my friends.
6. Now this one is gross. GROSS, GROSS, GROSS. How do I know? My kids tell me, and so has Becky. When I go to Chick-Fil-A, I always get their Chicken Nuggets (see quirk #2) with Polynesian Sauce. If I am eating in the comfort of my home (never when I am in the restaurant), when I have dipped to the bottom I always lick the container clean. There!!! Are you happy!!! I am a gross pig who licks sweet and sour from the container! Not so cultured and refined!!
These are just a few. I am sure there are others.
Now I don't have six people to tag, but I have five. So I am going to tag Sandra, Natalie, Katie, Jana, Janis.

I have a comment for each quirk. (maybe)
#1. Yes. That's a quirk if there has ever been a quirk in the history of quirks that would headline the quirk dictionary.
#2. That's a gift. I get sick of food so fast. And all the really great stuff is too far away.
#3. That's weird. Creepy even.
#4. I'm amazed that you haven't had more accidents. :)
#5. Do you believe in libraries? :) They let you renew online. No guilt. I've had the same three books for almost 2 months and have only read about 3 pages of one of them.
#6. I read this aloud to mom and she's horrified. hahaha. No! I did the same thing with McD's sweet and sour sauce. YUM!
Do you not know that I don't run - thus I don't play tag. Okay, fine, I will play your game. But it may take a few days because I brain is still not quite up to the quirk it should be to play tag.
Fun to run into you last night ... oh, wait, I don't run.
Christine has the coolest link to awesome blog backgrounds... you have to go check it out. It's so easy! Much MUCH easier than the site I used before! Or, you could just wait a few more weeks until I'm there to do it for you. hahaha. Only like 7 or 8 weeks now, right? Ding. Becca needs to get those pictures to me! Better go call her.
I posted a funny blog about you. It's called "Old Emails". Check it out. hahahahaha
Just FYI - I have completed my tag. For you. Because I love you.
