I am literally disgusted if I come out in the morning and see a random plate or fork left in there. Also, when my husband is at work, I'm afraid that something under the bed will grab my feet at night (too many scary movies I guess) I brush my teeth, and then leap into bed so nothing can grab me. I'm a wacko!Heather @ Glitter and Glosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692574333822565833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-76511239020392866592011-04-21T13:57:43.864-07:002011-04-21T13:57:43.864-07:00I can't stop buying plum lip products.

Dark plum, light plum, super glossy plum, matte plum, plum lipsticks, plum lip glosses, plum chap sticks, plum stains, plum lip liners...I have them all. In fact, I bought a new one for tomorrow! The weird thing is, I don't even know if I look good in plum.<br /><br />Oh, and this isn't a quirk, but it's still weird. I blush over everything, even when I am not consciously embarrassed. Mainly it's the apple of my cheeks. Sometimes my nose if things are really high stress. Sounds cute, but it's not. My cheekbones turn FUSCIA. You know that bright, bright, bright pink you see in some blush compacts, and you wonder who would ever buy them? NOT ME, I turn that color naturally. For my wedding my makeup artist had to put concealor on my cheeks and nose to try to tone it down. So when you see me tomorrow and think that I overdid it on the blush...nope!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924624946575053220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-23018733599542509042011-04-21T13:28:23.076-07:002011-04-21T13:28:23.076-07:00It's good to show the weird.

Maybe this explains why my feet look like they are in some need of TLC.<br /><br />I also pluck my eyebrows while sitting in the car. The light is better and it's the only place I can get close enough to the mirror to do a really good job. I sit in the driveway and do it, which looks very strange.<br /><br />I can't get dressed until my bed is made; it feels too weird to sit on the messed-up covers.ErinBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778464658658955776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-62841777348074039322011-04-20T15:42:59.090-07:002011-04-20T15:42:59.090-07:00Wet socks bug me a lot!Wet socks bug me a lot!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189458530074995473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-8483513932740308902011-04-20T14:51:26.549-07:002011-04-20T14:51:26.549-07:00this is a GREAT post! like many have said already,...this is a GREAT post! like many have said already, i have many...but here are a few:<br /><br />i can not stand it if the bathroom mat gets wet. i always put my towel down when i get out of the shower.

If I think its too much to throw away, I sadly put it back, waiting expectantly for another week until its "too old to use" and I feel justified in throwing it away.<br /><br />I've put my face inside of a bowl to lick the lasts of cake/brownie batter.

When will it sort itself out? Oy.<br /><br />And quirks? I rearrange my closet almost weekly to which ever organizational tactic I'm feeling (color, shirt style, dress length, whatever...). I also cannot stand the sound of people chewing with their mouths open- so much so, that I almost stop people before they start to eat if they look like they're going to smack. It makes me want to punch them. If someone tailgates me while I'm walking (steps on my heels), I will turn into a flying baboon and knock them over by their shins. Maybe not REALLY, but that's how I feel. It's like grinding teeth or scratching a blackboard. Walking tailgaters are my BIGGEST pet peeve. Hmm... since just December, I've had to sleep with my sound machine iPhone app running. I usually choose some sort of waves or rain. I think it drives my dog nutty, but I can't fall asleep without it or all I hear are sounds of baby breathing (which is beautiful, but I stay awake just to hear her), the dishwasher running, icemaker dropping ice, dog breathing... husband snoring...<br /><br />I have many, many others.
