Tagging along

I've been tagged by Amanda of Penny 'n' Pounds to blog about 6 unspectacular quirks that I have. I googled "quirks" first, and since it means "odd habits" I thought I could give it a try.

Here are the rules:
  • Link the person who tagged you
  • Mention the rules on your blog
  • Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
  • Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
  • Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers blogs letting them know they have been tagged.
  1. If the clock in the kitchen doesn't work I get real cranky. Even though I have a watch on my wrist and there's a digital clock on the microwave, I ALWAYS look at that clock. Since we have been using rechargeable batteries I get cranky more often (I know they're better for the environment, but they don't last long!)
  2. Before I go to bed I check if my children are still breathing. Since they are 8 and 5 I presume this habit has turned into a quirk.
  3. I sometimes check the ending of a book before reading all the chapters.
  4. No matter how much I eat for dinner, I can always eat a little chocolate directly afterwards. Not that I always do so, I just can.
  5. I make lists for everything.
  6. I like spaghetti with meatballs. If the meat is just "scattered" through the spaghetti (sorry, don't know the right word for this) I don't like it.

I'm not going the follow all the rules: I'm not tagging anyone else. But, if you would like to "tag along" and tell me six unspectacular quirks about yourself, then please leave me a comment so I can check out your post.

A fun list to read Tania. I could not imagine going to bed without checking on Sav and Blake. I don't think there will ever be a day where I would feel the need to not check on them before going to bed. Because they are still little I also check on them throughout the night.

As Troy would tell you, I always have room in my dessert belly and could always find room for some chocolate after a meal.

Lists - I love them. They keep me organised and I use them to make sure I am efficient when going to the shops.

Lots of love and hugs
Elise

You are quirky, aren't you? My cousins like the meatballs, too, but not the meat sauce.

I can't bear to read the last page...just can't ruin it.

LMAO at checking the kids are breathing..... I do that every night too (and first thing in the morning) and am SO happy I'm not alone :P
