I was tagged by Julie and Marva to play this. I am sorry, girls, I am so bad at getting to these things. I am quirky about those things. HA, HA, HA!
Here's how to play.
1. Link to person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Liszt six unspectacular quirks you have.
4. Tag 6 bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on taggee's blog to let them know they have been tagged.
Okay,
1. I can't stand fairs. I know it is the county fair time and everyone is always excited about them. When I go I just see weird. Weird people that have no teeth. OLD women with tatoos. People that look like they downed a bottle of the cheapest whisky they could find are the ones that assembled the rides. They then try to con you out of your money playing games for a dorky animal. Something about all the noise and blinking lights and unstructuredness of it all really freaks me out. But, if anyone wants to bring me a funnel cake or some cotton candy that is okay.
2.I can't stand the circus. I like the fair better than I like the circus. I have only been twice with my kids- and my oldest is 18. The first time my husband was in Europe visiting Budapest and Germany and London. I know! I met my mother in law and step father in law in Pensacola for the circus. It was horrible. The people just do not dress. Some of the acts were good but just not worth the heat and dirty rotten seats. The second time we went as a family in Niceville. Imagine sitting in the "we got free tickets and did not upgrade seats" seats over in the corner away from all the action. Then directly above our head is where the trapeze people climbed and stood. 13 year old son. Trapeze lady in a thong with skirt that flies above her thong. Look up. Booty. Booty still there. I am not looking. Oops, couldn't help it, had to see if it was still there. Try not to look at 13 year old son who looks like he is trying not to look up. We did use to go watch the people put up the tents when we lived in Niceville. The elephants would help. That was cool. They kept the naked ladies away that time of the morning.
3. I love to find deals. okay, I am glad to have found like minded sisters but I have friends that think garage sales are yucky and beneath us all. They do not get it that you find great stuff no matter how many items I show them. I like the feeling that I get when I find something cheaper.
4. I am stuggling here.... Um, wish my husband was here, I am sure he has a whole list of quirky. I have a really big sense of humor and can find funny in the most inappropriate places. When my mom died I was 17. At the funeral home for the wake I was standing with my best friend and people kept coming up to her and saying how sorry they were. I laughed my way through the wake and didn't bother to tell all the people that "hello- I am Holly"
5. I can't watch tv without figuring our who most of the people look like whether it be another star or an every day person that we know. If I know they look like someone but I can't put my mind on it, it will drive me crazy.
6. I rather enjoy tough times. I like to make due and figure out how to make it when it looks like you can't. I loved living in Mobile and Florida and having hurricanes. I love preparing for them and living without electricity. My husband was out of town when Niceville was hit by Hurricane Opal. I lived a week without electricity with two small kids and was pregnant. My MIL tried her best to get me to come to her house two hours away in Mobile. She cannot understand why anyone would live without electricity when you could have it. I had a gas stove people! All I had to do was go get ice for the cooler. We ate soup and raviolli. It was hot and bath started stinking but other than that it was no problem. We went though another hurricane near Katrina time. We lost electricity. My husband had brought home a huge generator from work. I could not let my kids miss hurricanes without losing electricity! It would have run most of our house. I let him hook up the freezer and refrigerator. Later we hooked up the tv so we could watch a movie. Other than that we made them sit in the heat and use flashlights and eat grilled canned food. That is unpioneering American to hook up to a generator and live like a rich person. I mean, if you have an oxygen tank or something, go right ahead, but you are really wimping out if you do.
Okay, I did it! I do like Disney and Six Flags and rides that are stationed and not put up and down by whisky drinkers each week. Now, Valerie isn't going to invite me to the tractor pull or what is it called where the cars crash into one another?
EDITED TO ADD- I meant stationary not that the rides are stationed. They aren't like guards or anything. Hey, whisky boys, the rides are watching you.
I am not going to tag anyone because I don't have time but if you would like to play just say I tagged you, okay?

I've been tagged
I have been tagged by Mummy Chronicles to list 6 non important quirks or facts about me. Oh this is going to be a hard one because I am NOT quirky! My goodness.
1. I don't like for people to touch my hair much. I guess it is all the work it takes to get it to do right. It just really annoys me and feels like they are invading my space. Oh, I do remember how my mom used to stroke my hair at night and it was really relaxing. I LOVE it when the beautician washes my hair. So, this is really odd that I don't like people to just come up and touch it. I actually have a reflex to hit or push them away. That is from my brother pulling one strand at a time S-L-O-W-L-Y.
2. I check my site reader every day, sometimes two or three times. I like see my average per day, then how many people really looked today, then in the last hour, then sort by location, then sort by referral. I then look at google referals to see what they typed in the search engine to get to my blog. That is where the fun begins to see the odd things people type in, or the person looking for something serious and they got me.
3. I have a quirky sense of humor but I don't know if it comes out on my blog. Yes or No?
4.I am very visual and sometimes people say things that I visualize and cannot keep from laughing. I visualize inanimate objects being personal and having feelings. In SS this week we learned that the name Levi meant to cleave to. I spent the rest of class visualizing thinking it was funny that someone named Levi invented a blue jean and how they cleave to a lot of people. I have trouble looking at the choir. Some Sundays I pick out that her skirt would look good with her top and how these two clash sitting so close together.
5.I rhyme a a lot. It is real fun. I do it when I sit. I do it when I run. I cannot help it when I rhyme. I do it all the all the time. Really annoys the kids. (He, He)
6. I can do lots of things with my feet. It is a special gift. My toes are like fingers and I can curl them to grab pencils and things to pick them up. I am very flexible overall. When I was little I liked to play like I didn't have hands and try to do everything with my feet. I would spend whole days writing with my feet, opening doors, pushing things closed, picking up things, and even could brush my hair (you thought I was going to say teeth, didn't you?) with my feet. Not into a cute style- just brushed. Never got to drive with my feet. I'll do that tomorrow.
There, not so hard after all. I am quirkier than I thought.

I Have Been Tagged
Marva at Blessed Frugalness Times Two With Twinshas tagged me. I have to list 10 random things about myself and tag 5 people.
1. I was adopted at birth.
2. I have lived in Pearl, Mississippi; Mobile, AL; Panama City, FL; Huntsville, AL; Niceville, FL; and Madison, AL.
3. My first job after babysitting was as a dental assistant. I was picked out of my accounting class to go on a job interview at a pediatric dental office. I got the job and was supposed to answer phones and file charts and help up front, but was quickly called to the back to sit and talk to the kids while waiting for their mouth to get numb. That led to me learning how to assist the doctor. I was 16 and got out at 12 each day to go to work. My mom died one month before I turned 18 and I later discovered it was God's provision for me to live on my own.
4. I later worked in orthodontics. I made all the models of the teeth, can bend all kind of special loops in the wires, can sauder wires to bands and make appliances. Oh, and take impressions while the kids throw up all at the same time.
5. I was the number one ten and under swimmer for Mobile county. I was always good at running fast, swimming and catching balls but never played softball or anything like that. I was an official girly girl tom boy. I was the girl climbing trees in my Sunday dress.
6. This summer I will have been married half my life. I celebrate 20 year anniversary in July and my 40th birthday in August.
7.While sitting at daughter's football game this year we were debating whether to buy school shirts to wear to the games. I realized that we had 14 consecutive years remaining that we will have a kid in high school, so it would be worth the investment in shirts. For those who missed it, this fall daughter starts college and we will have at least one in college for the next 14 years. Some of those years we will have two or more in college at the same time, but atleast one in each of those years. Do you feel better now?
8. Out of 5 births my smallest at two weeks early was 8lb 13 1/2 oz. My biggest was 10 lb. 14 1/2 oz. and I delivered her with no meds. I had a 9 lb. 9 oz, 10 lb. 2 oz.,and 9 lb. 14 oz. Bragging rights go to my MIL who had twins weighing over 14 lbs.
9. I became an emancipated minor at age 18. In Mobile, you had to be 21 to be considered an adult to sign papers. I had to sell our home and be able to rent an apartment and buy a car so I became emancipated.
10. I had to call my MIL long distance when we were 1st married to ask how to make hot dogs. There are not directions on the package. We did not eat hot dogs growing up so I had never seen them made other than grilling them. Poor husband, it is a wonder he survived me learning to cook. When mom died I survived on Lean Cuisines and eating out.
