I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Willow and Steviewren to list 6 unspectacular quirky things about myself. This is similar to an earlier tag where I had to list some weird things which you can check out here if you care to. The weird ones are a little more interesting, but I guess that's how it was supposed to be! LOL! So, here are 6 quirks about me ~~
  1. I talk to myself....out loud, full conversations...all the time. I even had an older gentlemen give me quite a stare in the grocery as I rambled on to myself about something.
  2. I have one dream that I have repeated most of my adult life....that I am still in college...weeks into the semester, and discover that I have a class that I completely forgot about and haven't attended yet.
  3. I have a laundry fetish! I don't have a clean clothes basket. Instead, I fold the laundry straight out of the drier and put it all away before I move the next load into the drier from the washer. I hate clean clothes all wrinkly and piled up in a basket waiting to be folded.
  4. My handwriting changes. Sometimes it is smooth and beautiful and other times it is scrawly and weird looking. There is probably some psychiatric explaination that I wouldn't want to hear....LOL
  5. I know my credit card numbers by memory, including the expirations dates and the three digit code on the back. Weird, I know!...but it comes in really handy when ordering something over the phone or online.
  6. I have an uncanny memory about details of other people....favorite foods, how they take their coffee...even people I only met once...if they mention any little tidbits like this, it sticks with me forever.

OK....stop yawning....and go check out Modgirl, and Reese, ....because I'm tagging them! :)

  1. Betsy, my handwriting is always changing too...it is all over the place...that's how I sing too. Sometimes I sound okay and sometimes it is horrible, sometimes you can barely read my handwriting and other times people tell me it is pretty. Go figure...I think it just means that I am all over the place.

    I'm impressed that you have all those numbers memorized. It seems like there ought to be some way for you to cash in on that talent.

  2. Interesting 'laundry list' of quirks. The folding of the clothes right away saves you much time and aggravation over wrinkles. I wish I could be like that. I am with you on number 4. My handwriting changes too, and I can't seem to control how it comes out! Now careful with that credit card memory, you do not want to fall into the hands of an unscrupulous hypnotizer! ....LOL....

  3. How cool to learn your quirks. I also have a dream that I can't find my class and that I am getting right up to the time to withdraw and I can't get it together. My daughter also does all that memorizing of numbers. I think you guys have special brains to do that. I can remember trivia, but memorizing numbers like that, no way. OK, now that I see the comment from Steviewren I have to admit that my handwriting changes too. What is the deal with us? What does it mean? We should find out. I think sometimes I just get bored with the look and it's an easy thing to change around. Free and easy.

  4. Freaky Deaky. Miss Ladyslipper and I hit at the same minute and she too changes her handwriting. What does all that mean? FREAKY

  5. Verrrry interesting quirks! I am awstruck by 5 and 6. You are my hero. Handwriting has to do with self esteem I think, and confidence and chutzpa. These things that we ride like rollercoasters. They change our handwriting and sometimes our hair color.

  6. #2 is one of mine as well! You would think that after years of the same dream you would stop waking up in a cold sweat and realize you've graduated! :)

  7. Cool! Betsy, I have that same dream too sometimes! Too weird! What does it mean I wonder? I have a bad memory, so I can't join you there. I don't talk to myself, but I do randomly point out trucks, even though sometimes I'm all alone, lol! Hehe!

  8. Ok, I'm amazed at the credit card thing. You remember all those numbers??!! I'm impressed. Memory is clearly one of your strong points!

    Thanks for the tag, Betsy! I needed something to post this weekend. I'll be thinking about it today and get it typed up and posted on Saturday (after Know and Tell Friday).

    Bless you!

  10. Trish and Marcia ~ yes, I think that dream is a fairly common one! It's always so traumatic and then when you wake up and realize that you were DONE with school years ago, it's such a relief! LOL

  11. Musewings ~ interesting that handwriting has to do with self esteem! I'll have to pay more attention to when it's pretty and when it's scrawly and what else I'm feeling at the time.

  12. Bobbi ~ randomly pointing out trucks even when you're alone....too funny....comes from having a boy, I think!

  13. Marie ~ rabbit dish? Nugget is shivering!

  14. My writing either looks really cool and artsy, or really odd, like grandpa's!

    I know my 16 digit library card and pin number which is really handy at the library and ordering online....but not all my numbers...I don't buy that many things!

  15. I have that same dream too every once in a while. Sometimes I'm in high school, others I am in college, but it's always that the sememster is winding down and I totally forgot I had class that I never went to. It's a bit scary!

    I too know my credit card numbers by mem and even the routing numbers for my bank. Not sure why I do that though. I still take my card out if I'm making an online purchase...like the numbers are going to change :)

    My handwriting changes too but usually depending on what pen I write with. I'm a picky pen person.

    Great quirks!

  19. Thank you, thank you for admitting to talking to yourself! I feel much better about this little quirk now! I'm glad too not to be the only one whose handwriting changes! I'm sure there's some psychiatric label for it!

    Funny and cute list. Thanks for sharing!

  20. Kalianne ~ another person that talks to themselves? How fun! In fact, I went over and read your quirks...I think we have a lot in common! :)

  21. Wow you are a laundry queen!!!!! I wish I was like that with laundry!! I talk to myself to, and I have gotten a few strange looks as well.

  22. I've been thinking about your dream. Usually when they repeat themselves...there is some significance to them. I have this dream myself...several times.I think your dream means that God is trying to teach you something but you keep missing the lesson.

  23. Strider..actually, I was missing the whole class not just a lesson! ha-ha

  24. Strider ~ I looked up the missed class dream at dreammoods.com and here's what it said....

    To dream that you forgot to attend a class you signed up for, indicates your anxieties and fear of failing. You may also be lacking self-confidence in your ability to handle new responsibilities or projects.

    Next time I dream this dream, I'll have to pay attention to what is going on in my life at the time!

  25. My handwriting is horrid at times and sometimes flowery. If I am in class taking notes it tends to be horrid.. if I am reading ahd taking notes from what I read, I focus more and it's flowery. In one notebook you may find.. the alphabet.. and symbols that seem to resemble letters... lol
