Quirks 'n 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...

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording.

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w
