A Quirky Tag...

Michelle at they outnumber us now tagged me for this fun little meme about our own quirks. The difficult part is limiting my quirks to only 6. So, here are the rules...

1. Link to the person that tagged you.


2. Post the rules on your blog.


3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself


4. Tag at least 3 people at the end of your post and link to their blogs


5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


6. Let the fun begin!

Well... here goes...

1. I love a great salad loaded with lots of romaine, green leaf lettuce, or mixed greens, but I don't care for lettuce on a sandwich. Additionally, on all but very rare occasions, I can't stand iceberg lettuce.


2. I love white dishware. I know it's plain, but the decorating possibilities are endless... and with my tiny little kitchen, I do not have the luxury of keeping around multiple coordinating sets of dinnerware.


3. I always plan my week and my day horizontally and vertically on little 4x6 cards that I print off every week. The idea is from some book I once read, but I never can remember which book. Horizontally means I list the major tasks that I want to do each day for the entire week, and vertically means I schedule my intended tasks for that particular day by the half hour. Weird and tedious, I know... but I don't think I would ever get much done without this system!


4. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I love to try their lemonade. The criteria: It must be fresh lemonade (no Minute Maid stuff). I prefer a sparkling, bubbling concoction, and I would rather it not be pink lemonade. The best I've ever had is from a little Italian restaurant on the west side of Houston called Carmelo's Ristorante, but Giant Eagle carries a rather wonderful Sparkling Sicilian Lemonade that I can enjoy right at home!


5. I record Leave It To Beaver episodes throughout the week and sometimes I sit down briefly during the kids' naptime to catch an episode. There's just nothing on TV during the day, and this show feeds my fascination with the late 50s/early 60s.


6. I absolutely have to read... At all times, I need to have at least one book that I'm in the process of reading, but I usually have 3-4 going at the same time... And I have to read before I fall asleep, regardless of what time I go to bed.

So... I tag Sarah at from afar park, Tallie at my little corner of the planet, and Lisa at ...and everything, although I can't imagine you'll post something, sis!
