What are yours?
I'll share with you some of mine:
- Of late, I am obsessed about keeping the number of e-mails in my in-box to 50 or fewer. I think I read something in Real Simple magazine about how you can simplify your life in 15 minutes a day and I really have latched on to that one. I get really upset if I find more than 50 messages there now.
- The "hot foot", part I: I assume that most people are weird about feet. I'm weird in two different ways. First of all, I CANNOT get into bed and go to sleep if my feet feel "hot." Now, "hot" can be defined as actual, temperature hot, swelling, feeling slightly dirty, or just something I've made up in my mind. This is easily resolved by sticking my feet under the faucet for a sec and hopping back to the bed touching as little floor as possible.
- The "hot foot", part II: Right after my DH and I got married, I had foot surgery to remove part of a nerve from my left foot (a story for another day that is not terribly interesting). This foot still feels "hot" sometimes at night (see the varied definitions for "hot" above) and I cannot handle it is my "hot foot" is touched by someone else's hot foot. This usually results in whining and moaning that my foot is hot. Sometimes this is accompanied by a temper tantrum, depending on how tired I am. Do.not.touch.the.hot.foot. Ever.
- I totally hate onions. Unless they are cooked up in something. Or on a McDonald's kid's hamburger. But I hate them on pizza. Same with bell peppers. Hate the green ones entirely. Only like the red, orange and yellow ones diced in a salad.
So I'm going to go ahead and stop there. I really do have a lot of quirks, but I'll quit while I'm ahead. I'm sure my DH can remind me of some really weird things.
Seriously, what are your quirks?

Haha I'm actually obsessed with keeping my emails at work to minimum of 5 in my inbox. Everything else get filed away on little folders -- and truly, I literally have millions of them! If my computer dies on me, I'm pretty much screwed. I keep everything :P And as for onions, ditto! I don't mind the cooked ones really... it's the raw ones that I hate. And yes, especially on burgers...
That hot foot issue is an odd one - maybe in your previous life you had three feet and the ghost foot is coming back to bug you? My quirks - actually I have to wash my feet before going to bed. I am sure my MDF will have plenty to say about my oddities, but that's for another day!
Ohh - your quirks aren't that bad. I was waiting for something really strange. I think I'll post some of mine today. Nothing much happening here!
Preview of my quirks:
Obessed with Chapstick. NEED IT!
lol...
let me see...if my husband were here he would demand that I list this one...
Quirk: I have a thing about the way my dishwasher is loaded. Mind you, I hate doing dishes, therefore making sure that my time is minimized during this, I load the dishwasher in a certain manner (including separating my silverware by type in the basket...ie, all the knives together, all the spoons together, etc.). It's gotten to be so bad that my mother-in-law won't do dishes at my house (except by hand) and my husband will only unload the dishwasher. I am in serious need of help! :o)
(you would think from this I am a neat-freak...but I'm so not!)
sadly, I have never experienced Hot foot...unless it was my husband's. I have the horrible "Cold Feet" Even with socks on my husband can feel them at night.
(except when I was pregnant - then it was the "ugly cracked feet" syndrome)
Sadly I don't have any quirks, but I've got two scotties, a chekhov and an uhuru though.
Thanks for clearing up the mystery of the cryptic post. That was over a month ago, there's no way I wold have thought of that!
PB: I haven't figured out folders in GMail, but when I do, then the inbox can be whittled down to 5. It's a goal!!!
MTG: Love the new name. Glad to know I'm not the only one who needs clean feet to sleep!
Stiggs: Can't wait to see your list. I was once addicted to Carmex, but with a little rehab, that is all over now.
CC: I envy your dishwasher, however loaded it may be!
Karmyn: The funny thing is, after I wrote this post, I had COLD feet for the rest of the evening. Go figure!
WT: No one would ever accuse you of being quirky.
Your hot feet, Karmyns cold feet, well I suffer from a cold bum (more my hips actually) but it can be a sweltering day and I could be wrapped up under the covers sweating like a pig and twp patches around the bum/hips will be freezing. Bizarre or what?
Quirky is WONDERFUL. It's what makes us unique. Living with the Captain has caused some of my OCD quirks to disappear - it was either that or go mad or get divorced. I guess it has made me more easy going.
I cannot tolerate raw onions either, and it infuriates me when I get a bite of one that lay hidden, because I know that I will taste it for DAYS!
Here is a real quirk - I can't eat ANY color of bell peppers or the heartburn might as well be a heart attack. HOWEVER, I can eat jalapenos, and do with delight. Go figure!
Beccy: I get cold bum when I am out exercising in the cold. I can be sweating from the workout but still have a cold tooshie.
Luciluna: Yumm. . .jalapenos. . .
