My Six
(No, I'm not referring to the pounds I've gained this week)...I'm talking about quirks. This lovely lady has tagged me and now it's my privelege to share some of my quirks with you.Here goes:
1. I am very affected by the lighting in a room. (I know I got this from my mom). I turn on certain lights before bedtime to signal the shutting down of the house. If a light is too glary or bright, I have to replace it (ask Travis about our constant "changing of the bulbs" over our dining room table--- he always puts in a huge 125 watt fluorescent, which I change out for a 60-watt incandescent).
2. I go through phases of mass buying and then mass purging. I am quick to throw out anything that I do not like, use or just plain annoys me. Sometimes I deny myself buying anything just so when I finally buy things, it feels really good (thus the binge buying).
3. I hate outer-wrapping on packages. For example, the toilet paper outer wrapper comes off when I put the toilet paper rolls away in the linen closet. If there's two of something left in a box or bag, I quickly remove the outer packaging. Excessive packaging is bothersome to me.
4. I never wear "nice clothes" in my house. As soon as I can when I get home, I go upstairs and put on pajamas or comfortable clothes, my earrings and wedding ring come off, and I'm in "housewear mode."
5. Nine times out of ten I would rather read a good book than watch a movie. And I never read fiction. I just can't get into reading something that isn't true.
6. I hate getting ready, i.e. putting on "nice clothes," make-up and doing my hair.
Now that you know a mere six of my quirks, I would like to tag: Larios Life, Blind Blogger, The Fox is on the Town-O, Me Myself and Ira and My Cup Runneth Over.

Sarah this is hillarious. And you look great!!! I'm afraid you could write my list for me.
Hey Sara, your are looking great!! You're really not all that big? Are you sure you're due in a couple of weeks?
How do you look so good?
I feel the same way about lighting.
Ooh, lighting is a big one for me too. My house is dark, some people have even commented about how dark it is. I like it dark. I also really love winter, which makes my home even darker. Maybe I am a hermit??
I too can't stand fiction. I love true stories, autobiographies, and self help. If it doesn't fit into those categories, I can't hardly stand to read it.
I have "lighting" particularities, too. I also immediately remove excess packaging and stay in "housewear mode" when I'm at home. Loved reading these, thanks for indulging my meme!!
I totally ripped this off your blog and did one on mine! I think we are pretty much opposites but that's what makes it fun. I love to escape into a fake world so I can forget about the real one for a while in fiction books. I LOVE getting pretty with clothes, make up, and such. I always keep the wrapping on things so in fear of losing instructions or label information. And I love bright lights- the brighter the better for me. I love this, though. It's so much fun to learn new things I wouldn't have known about you!
