I don't normally fall for these things, but what the hay...Shows I love you Nat.

6 Quirky Things.

I don't like revolving doors. They make me nervous. Fingers might get caught. It might get stuck and who knows how long I would be stuck in that tiny place. What if I got stuck and my my kids made it through, or vice versa? And the floor and the little duster on the bottom of the door always seem really dirty. Also I don't really know revolving door etiquette. If two people approach at the same time in both the inside and the out, who goes first? How fast or slow are you supposed to push the door (I don't like to push either, I let other people do it)? If it's a large revolving door do you go in the same space as other people, or is it one person to each space? It's complicated, awkward, dangerous and uncomfotable. I'd rather avoid the whole situation.

I plug my nose with my lips when I swim.

I like to sleep diagnol. My head at one corner, and my feet at the other. My huz loves the space that this creates for him.

Apparently I have a bad habit of not screwing on lids tight--a serious cause of contention in our marriage.

This is really gross, but I like to clean out ear wax. I check my kids ears first thing every morning and it drives them nuts. I do it to Ben too. My favorite thing when I come home from a vacation without my kids is to clean their ears, hoping that the babysitter didn't do it. Unfortunately I think my ears have quit producing wax. So you will never catch my family with wax in their ears! I like to pick zits too--same genre.

Last, I hate hate hate it when people don't return their grocery carts to the return slots. Be curtious and take an extra 20 steps people. Every car I have owned has been dented or scratched because someone was lazy and didn't return their cart. So I always park as close to the return as possible, not the front of the store, and I return all the carts that are close that others have left. If I can do it with 3 crazy kids, so can everyone else.

Crazy Eights.

Nice job! I am with you on the revolving doors, they freak me out too. I make my husband push the stroller through, while I wait for them to safely pass.
