Buttercup, I forgot about the sandwich thing. I do that, too! I eat the bottom crust first because it's the yuckiest, then the sides, then the top and the rest of the sandwich. I also heard the exact same quote from my family as a kid and even from my hubby about it all going to the same place. It has nothing to do with where it goes it's all about how it tastes!
How enlightening to know I'm not the only one.
We come from Nature, we go back to Nature; health & happiness in between requires intimacy with Nature. |

Since we all have such similar behaviors, I'm thinking that we are absolutely normal and anyone who DOESN"T do these things are the quirky ones!
I've learned that it takes as much time and energy to wish as it does to plan.

When I eat toast I save those little foldy spots on the sides for last..since they are best. Always have.

Well when I sit I shake one of my legs up and down. I bothers DH to no end. I also have to feel fabric. When I fold clean laundry I like to feel the silky stuff between my fingers as well as some of the cotton items like pillow cases. Or if I have to readjust the linen closet I stand there for a few extra seconds to feel the sheets and linens. I wash my hands constantly. I keep some lotion under the kitchen sink so I don't dry my hands out. I never eat the heal ends of any bread loaf. All my machine embroidery thread needs to be in color order (I have over 500 colors) I have to check if the alarm clock is set right at least three times before bed even reseting the alarm time over if necessary. My daughter never drinks the last 10% of any drink. She wants me to dump it out and add fresh juice or soda. She doesn't like her food touching and has to have them in separate plates. Her cup is always to the upper left of her plate and it has to touch the edge of the plate when not in use. I guess she is just as quirky as I am.

I have to agree with Sandy(ponyexpress), We are the normal ones.....& the "quirkless" or should I say "quirk challenged" are the not normal ones!

| Jenny, You're right about the foldy spots on bread! lol! That just jogged another quirk. It's especially good if it's toasted and the butter collected in the fold and when you bite in, just yummy! |

One more:
Can't stand twisted shoelaces. They must lay flat.
Too blessed to be stressed! |

Did I mention that I NEED to have the ties on things - like aprons or dresses or the like - ironed? Ribbons, too. I just CANNOT abide wrinkly bows...
And, Teddie - yep - I straighten out shoelaces, too!
XOXO, Libbie
