nothing that interesting I promise!



List 6 unspectacular quirks of yours:
Here it goes.... if you get bored after the first one it is okay, I won't be offended!

1. I know this may be funny to you but I have issues with bathroom rugs and carpets. I have a fear that I will get something on my feet that I will not like. I wash my bathroom rugs at least once a week sometimes twice. When I get out of the shower I do not stand on them. Trent often laughs because I never use them. They are more for decoration in my book. I line up towels all along the bathroom floor to step on because heaven knows what could be on those rugs. When I got to other peoples houses my biggest fear is that they will ask me to remove my shoes and I won't have socks on to cover my feet. nothing against anyone just a phobia I have. WEIRD! So usually I carry socks in my purse if this is to occur!
2. I absolutely am a wimp when it comes to being home alone. I cannot do it... Trent could NEVER have a job where he travels a lot I would not survive! I scare my self out of my pants.. like what was that noise? Is someone trying to break in.. etc etc! I am a scaredy cat that is for sure.
3. I am officially OCD when it comes to cleaning. (Thanks Mom) Seriously when I was growing up I would always say I will never be like my mom. She used to make us vacuum and clean the bathrooms like everyday. The sad thing is folks I am almost just like her if not worse. I find my self cleaning all the time. and Pierce often says to me " mama not again" I might need some help!
4. I have a jacked up thermostat. I am hot then cold then hot. I am hardly ever just right! This drives Trent nuts! Sorry I can't quite figure it out myself!
5. I am a really bad driver. Watch out I am on the road! no serious. It amazes me that I haven't died yet... I am one of those unconfident nervous drivers that can't make up their minds that you and everyone else is passing and mad saying," get off the road!" ya that is me. Sorry I apologize in advance and knock on wood that my luck still is in affect!
6. I am super shy. I know that this might come as a shock to some of you.. if you know me really well. But I do have this problem. When I was in high school people always thought I was major stuck up.. I was a titch bratty but stuck up no. I am just so shy. I would never be the one to introduce myself or make conversation sorry for all of you who have had to pick up my slack. I really do try but I just can't. It happens all too often still you think I would have gotten over that by now, but no! So please forgive me in advance if I seem rude.

I love the feet thing. That cracks me up that you keep socks in your purse just in case.

John is that same way about cleanliness because his mom was that way. I am a little bit more laid back. Don't get me wrong I clean my bathrooms once a week but just to the extent John grew up with.

What you are a great driver- remember how we would drive to work in the truck eating dinner, dancing? Also I'm now going to check your bag to see if you socks when you come to my house:) I never knew that about you. As always, you made me laugh- love you!

Eww, I don't like bathroom rugs, either. Especially with a house full of boys...they are just pee sponges on the floor. Yuck!

Okay is that my list too? I'm exactly those too!!!! Good i'm not the only one!!! I never thought I would be like my mom too and hello I'am such a clean freak!!! I won't let Gregg use the bathroom for like two hours after I clean it, because I don't want it to get dirty!!! Now that is major ocd that I have. The best are the clorox wipes they are my best friends!!!!

lins.e said...

is that why you started cleaning my basement when you came over? cuz you were disgusted? RUDE... Mikelle you don't strike me as shy, maybe snobby though...ah ha ha!

I get nervous about using people's blankets... which is similar to your rug fear. For some reason it just grosses me out to think about where that blanket might have been. And sometimes they smell all dusty and who knows if its ever been washed. And I don't like walking barefoot in people's houses because of the dirty carpet and rugs... totally agree that it gets disgusting. EWWWWW

This was cute to read Mikelle. I didn't realize you were shy...you are always so smiley!! And I think everyone is entitled to be OCD about a few things. The clothes in our closet have to be arranged by color.
