Show and Tell Tuesdays: Show us your Quirks

Next to day in the life posts, I think these are my favorite! I love reading about other weird people and realizing I'm not as crazy as I think I am! Let your Freak Flag Fly!!

Linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals.com!

Quirks:

I cannot stand the feeling of my knee caps touching each other. Now I'm not talking about crossing my legs, I'm fine with that, as the top of the knee is hitting the bottom of the knee, but curling up on the couch, laying in bed, I HAVE to have a pillow between my knees so my knee caps DO.NOT.TOUCH.  I didn't think this was so weird until I was telling some friends and their husbands about it at lunch the other day and they were all looking at me like I was nuts.

It creeps me out when toilets are left open. I think they should be closed unless they are in use. When people come to my home and use my restroom and leave the seat open, I have been known to shut it when they are not looking.

I'm terrified of mice. I don't know what it is about those little creepy things but they strike terror into my heart. Especially after having two of them in my house after I moved here and the saga of trying to kill them. Just thinking about it is making me queasy and my heart beat a little faster.

I love Bananas but don't like anything banana flavored. I have gotten to the point where I can eat banana bread but only if it's baked with chocolate chips and has a cream cheese icing. Basically I need to hide the banana flavor.

I have "Inside Shoes". I want everyone to take off their shoes coming into my house (Try being a piano teacher and having that many people in your home each week and see if it bothers you! So much MESS!yuck!) but I like to wear shoes in my house. In the winter I have my bootie slippers, and the rest of the year I have flip flops that I buy and wear specifically only in the house. If I wear actual shoes they are ones that I have cleaned the bottom with soap and water after wearing outside. I also have inside shoes ballet flats :) Why? Well I tend to run into furniture and have broken pinky toes more than I can count. 

I cannot stand to touch uncooked meat. It just makes me want to vomit. I will use forks or whatever i can to get my ground beef package open and put the meat in the skillet without touching the meat. I can't even think about touching raw chicken meat. ugh. no, just NO!

I also can't stand the smell of chicken cooking, like boiling chicken. This is not my fault however! One time I walked into my parent's house and Mom was boiling chicken to make chicken salad. I immediately got nauseated and exclaimed how much it was grossing me out. To which my Mom replied, Oh, I know! I haven't been able to take the smell of cooking chicken since I was pregnant with you!!!

As long as we're talking about chicken, I am picky with what kind I eat. I really prefer boneless chicken. I will eat a chicken drumstick if it's at KFC, but cooking chicken thighs, ect, and then eating them at home. grosses me out. Give me nuggets or chicken breasts all the way!!

Whenever I go somewhere you can count on me having an ice pack in my purse. And it's in a cute makeup pouch. Living with a chronic illness I never know when it's going to hit, and ice greatly helps when I am in pain/feel like puking my guts out. So I carry one with me at all times. 

Speaking of my purse, I like them large. And I carry anything and everything I might ever need! My Chiropractor calls it my "Luggage" and often picks it up to see how heavy it is. (I try to clean it out before I go to my apt 0=-) )

I love magazines, and most Friday nights I like to unwind with a little People and Us Weekly. My friends know if they need celebrity gossip or the 411 on something popular I will know all about it. 

My favorite section in Us Weekly is the 25 things you don't know about me. I find it fascinating! Yes, I am nosy!

I love celebrating birthdays. My birthday, other people's birthdays, doesn't matter! I'm excited for you and happy to celebrate! However, If I am mailing you a present or a card, (and ok, sometimes giving it to you in person..) don't ever expect to get it on time. A few days after your birthday, a week, ahem.. a month..  I am incapable of getting it there on time.

I love the smell of pumpkin, but not the taste of it. 

You'll never find me drinking a PSL.



In the interest of actually posting this the same week it was due (Forget about the same day!) that is my list of crazy (well, part of!)

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
