I've been tagged by Yellow Rose.....Here I thought the lovely lady did nothing but go strolling through her southern garden, spreading joy and graciousness quicker than kudzu. ...But then I find out Yellow Rose has a secret side. A pleasant blend of weidness mixed with a little craziness that's so endearing in all southern belles.

For some reason "the Rose" seems to think that I might have some similar traits so has challenged me to take on this task.

The rules are: "“The first player of this game starts with the topic . "Five weird habits of yourself," and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don'’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says , "“You are tagged"” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.

First , let me assure you that I have no weird habits. Obviously if the things I do are habits they have been carefully thought out and perfected to a science. For the sake of argument I will list a few......

1. I can not take on a task that requires great concentration without sticking my tongue out. My husband finds this cute. I have decided that this pose of concentration engages the brain into hyperactivity, and alerts my family that this is not a good time for a family chat.
2. Don't leave an important message or boxes of medical items for me to go through on my office chair. (Minor personal quirk that totally sends me into orbit.) I work with men. I work with men that can not find the tops of their desks because they are piled with other items. Consequently the only way they know that their is something they need to tend to right away is by putting it in their chair. My desk is organized and orderly. The last thing I want to see are boxes piled high on my chair when I arrive.
3. Having become a "bed snob" I find it imperative to have the sheets and blankets "straightened " before I can get into bed and sleep. The mister tends to go to bed much earlier than I do and has a tendency to roll up and "cocoon" in the bed clothes leaving me no sheet or blanket. I have to drag the sheet and blankets over to my side of the bed before playing tug-of -war the rest of the night. His explanation is that the "gravitational pull "is much greater on his side than on my side of the bed!
   
4. I sleep with one foot out from under the covers that acts as a thermostat. When I get cold the foot jets back under the covers. When I'm too warm the foot zips out to cool down the rest of my body. (Pure science, not weirdness!)
5. I spend a lot of time looking for my glasses or shoes. I tend to put things down or off and leave them there. Consequently I'm always looking for my glasses ( usually found in one of 3 spots) or my shoes.........which could have been kicked under the bed or off by the door. I tend to think it makes me endearing and very southern!

See, I told you I had reseasonable explanations for all my habits! Lets see how weird you are: I choose Grrrlmeetsworld, SeeSuzySpin, Flip-flop Floozie, Mr. News, and HomeFries7.
