Habits

According to Dictionary.com, a quirk is a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism"  an idiosyncrasy is "a characteristic, habit, mannerism, or the like, that is peculiar to an individual" and a habit is "an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary". (please see dictionary.com for complete definitions)

Why the English lesson? Well, I'm going to tell you a little bit more about myself.  I am a pretty laid back person but I have noticed some things that I do that seem to fit the above definitions. Some are non-negotiable.  I'm talking real deal breakers here. So yeah - I have a few quirks, habits and idiosyncrasies. You probably have a few. Okay, I'm fairly certain that you have some.
Here's a peek into my own personal habits, quirks and idiosyncrasies:

  • When dealing with a loaf of bread, I do not eat the ends.
  • I detest when cabinet doors, closet doors, bathroom doors are left open
  • Absolute quiet - uh no thanks!
  • I don't leave the house without making the bed
  • If I'm making my own cup of java, sugar has to go in first, followed by creamer. All this BEFORE the coffee hits the cup 
  • Paper towels - always grab 3 - no idea why.
  • Napkin dispenser - always grab 5.
Hmm, I wonder how many folks in the office are going to be counting the next time I wash my hands? How many paper towels did she say she grabs? LOL

Oh well, these are just a few of my little habits and quirks. Are you brave enough to share a few of yours? I dare you...

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
