Actually, I enjoyed clean sheet night last night even more than usual because I put our new flannel sheets on the bed. I haven't owned flannel sheets since I lived in Louisiana 13 years ago and we experienced ice storms each winter. But when I was in Illinois last month I remembered how wonderful flannel feels. So when I saw a set of king flannel sheets on sale at Target for $13 I snatched it up.
As I stretched the bottom sheet on to our behemoth mattress, I realized that I only buy striped sheets. That way I know which direction the fitted sheet goes on the bed. I stopped and thought to myself, that's a little quirky.
For the past 24 hours I've racked my brain trying to think of other quirky habits that I might have. This is what I came up with...
- Whether I need them or not, I always find myself buying interesting dish towels, magnets, and stationery.
- I have re-usable shopping bag brand loyalty. I don't take Target bags into Publix (grocery store) and vice versa.
- I always sign my name in blue ink.
But nothing really jumped out at me like the striped sheets. So I asked my guys...
- Mr. A told me that he enjoys what I say now that the filter between my brain and my mouth has been mostly dissolved.
- G-Man told me that he thinks it odd that the making of tea relaxes me not the actual tea.
- My Sweetie thinks it's cute that I sit on the bathroom counter to pluck my eyebrows (I can't see that far without my glasses).
Who knows what you might be thinking about me now. I hope I haven't scared you off completely. Come on, fess up and tell me about some of your quirks.

I love your quirks. And I too love clean sheet night. Especially when it is the same night you happen to shave your legs. AH the little things in life.
L says my biggest quirk is using hand sanitizer every time I get in the car. Even if I just left the house.
I sit on the counter for the same reason-I CANT SEE!!!! I like the idea about the striped sheets. It's not quirky but smart, not that people consider my opinions smart and not quirky but.....
Flannel sheets are a winter staple are our house. Love 'em.
Now to reveal my "quirks".
Without asking J., the first two that first come to mind, for me, are;
I can't go to bed if the bed isn't made. Some mornings are 'rushed' and the bed does not get made until right before bed time.
I clean for the cleaning lady. It is ritual that every other Wednesday evening is spent "straightening up" before Sylvia comes on Thursday a.m. This usually entails emptying the basket of folded laundry left in the bedroom, putting away dog toys and dejunking the dining room table. J thinks it's weird, and asks what I pay her for. She is a sweet woman who cleans bathrooms, dusts everything and vacuums meticulously.
I love clean sheets!! I think I blogged about quirks a while back but I can't remember them now that I am trying. A few I can think of -I always overstock on shampoo, lotions, etc. and I always eat my food one thing at a time.
love the quirks!
the sheet thing is GENIUS! now if i could just remember that next time i buy some.
i like stationary too.
i doodle checkerboards and hearts and sometimes get fancy and do checkerboarded hearts.
and i preclean for the maid too. or used to. i didn't for this last maid and she quit, i'm thinking it's because i didn't preclean for her. so because i preclean i refer to the maids cleaning day as Hellwednesday, even if it's not wednesday. we used to have a maid that came every wednesday.
Oh and i call things THE that don't need a "the" in the name . like on the facebook i have lots of friends. i am boycotting the target. i play the bunko. etc.
also, i like to refer to 12:30
"noon thirty". or midnight thirty.
i have loads of quirks.
The only place I can see for plucking those nasty hairs is in the car with that little mirror in the visor.
I am paranoid about having stuff caught in my teeth, so I always have a safety pin or toothpick and a little mirror with me.
