April tagged me.
1. I can not go into a room without the lights on if there is a mirror in that room. I don't know why, but a mirror in a dark room freaks me out. It has since I can remember. And night lights do not count as a light. This also includes in the middle of the day. I don't know why it scares me so bad. I think it relates back to being little and staying at my cousin Aly's house. She had two large mirrors in her bathroom and we used to get freaked out easily.
2. I can't stand when people chew on fabric. Even at the dentist the other day, Jeff used gauze to unscrew something in my mouth. It took all my restraint not to cringe and pull away. Even talking about fabric in a mouth makes me cringe. I think this aversion to fabric chewing is common, but Russ thinks I am so weird about it.
3. I am so weird about the texture of foods. I don't care how good something tastes, if it is lumpy or mushy, odds are I won't eat it. Mushrooms are a good example. I love the taste of fried mushrooms, but I can't eat them plain. They are way too slimy.
4. I can't sleep unless I can stick my feet out from under the covers. This drives Russ crazy because he is the one who makes that bed and the bed gets all torn up with my need to stick out my feet.
5. I have this inability to talk to strangers on the phone. I hate it! I either end up feeling so stupid, unable to explain myself, or feeling so frustrated I want to cry. I would much rather deal with people in person. Unfortunately, there is always some insurance person that needs to be dealt with. I don't even like ordering pizza. I know. It's irrational. Growing up it was a lot worse. I used to refuse to do it at all.
6. OK, this one is embarrassing, but Russ insists I put it. (I can't believe I am sharing this) Not many people know about my weird popcorn eating habit. If you choose to continue reading and then choose to tease me about it, don't be surprised if I stop talking to you then and there. OK, so I eat my popcorn like this: there are two parts of a piece of popcorn, the round part and the other part. I eat the other part on all my popcorn pieces first and them go back and eat all the round parts after. I only do this in the privacy of my own home (or my Mom's). I know it is totally strange, but we are all strange if we would admit to it.
***I tag....anyone who reads this. I hate making people feel like they have to do a tag. I only do the ones I enjoy and hope others will do because they enjoy. I would love to read funny quirks about all of your guys. It might make me feel better. I hope these make April feel better :)

haha, I had to comment and say that Ashley would do the same thing with her popcorn at work!!! At least your not alone in your eating patterns!
I love all your quirks :) They made me laugh! So I am going to call you about NC. I know I am jumping the gun, but you got me excited!! I am with you on the mirror thing...I think it is from our childhood. And the popcorn..hehehe that is hilarious!
Thanks for doing my tag Nicole. I know, I think they are semi-annoying too, but my friend tagged me, and then another friend she tagged did the tag, so I felt peer pressure to do it too, etc. etc. But I'm glad you did, because I think some of these quirks might be genetic. I sleep with one foot out of the bed too, and I also have texture issues with food, and anxiety about the phone....you're not alone for sure. The popcorn thing is funny though. Do you do that at the movies too?
So when exactly does he graduate? Is it this year? A cruise would be fun, but I think I would be sea sick most of the time. If I were you I would go to Europe.
I'd forgotten about the popcorn!!!
