idiosyncracies
I was tagged by Alecia! Fun! I don't know if I lack introspection, but I find these things sort of challenging, despite being someone many people regard as sort of quirky.
Five Idiosyncrasies
idiosyncrasy: a peculiarity of constitution or temperament : an individualizing characteristic or quality
1- I like to make things add up to the number 8. So, I don't microwave something for 30 seconds, I do it for 35. If I need to get up at 6 am, I set the alarm for 6:02.
2- I must have ketchup with grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese. Most people seem to think that's gross, but I think it's delicious. Do comfort food quirks count as idiosyncracies?
3- If I look up at a clock and it says 9:11, I have to watch the time change to 9:12 or I feel certain something bad will happen that will require me to dial 911. Oy. I'm sounding less and less stable here, aren't I?
4- Ever since my second pregnancy, I can't sleep facing anyone because I the feeling of someone breathing that close to my face makes me feel as though I am suffocating to death. It's a very weird, yet very real sensation.
5- I take a rather ridiculous amount of pride in my ability to free-pour a perfect, velvety, delicious cappuccino.
Ok, my turn to tag! karma, abbey, laura, erica, and lolly, you're it!

I am TOTALLY with you on #4. I cannot stand breathing IN someone's OUT breath. blech! I get aggravated almost nightly... I will roll over, so that I'm facing DH's back, and he will feel me roll, and also roll over... so then he's facing my face, and I have to roll BACK over. ERR.
