I was tagged by my friend Melissa to tell 6 quirky things about myself. This is my first tag, so I decided to respond! (By the way I am so new to blogging, I really did not even know this was done.)
1. I am completely OCD about the garage door. Almost daily, I leave my home and turn around half way through our neighborhood to make sure I have closed it. I used to call my neighbor across the street to ask, but she moved. (Hopefully those 2 things are unrelated.) It's gotten to the point Addie asks me why I'm turning around, and then sighs loudly after my response.
2. I am also OCD about emails. I find myself checking them too regularly. We went to see Justin's family this weekend, and I did not check it. I was very proud of myself. (The new iphone helps me not be too OCD.) I'm not all that important, so I really don't know why I think I will miss something!
3. I LOVE chocolate. I eat chocolate every day. Even if I make a blackberry cobbler or apple pie, I still need chocolate. It's almost like any other dessert is a vegetable, because it must be followed by chocolate.
4. I am overly attached to my pillow. I've taken it to New York City, to Chicago, and Disney World and everywhere else we travel. I tell myself it's because I do not sleep well without it. This is partly true, because I forgot my pillow one time and awoke with pain in my neck. I've had this pillow since early childhood, although this may be disgusting to some, I have resown new covers over the old ones. I've tried new pillows and they just aren't the same. I guess my well-traveled pillow is still my security blanket. . .
5. I have separation anxiety when I leave our bulldog, Gracie. Maybe it's because when we first bought her, we gave her away, only to get her back a few months later. (It's a cool story, I will have to tell later.) I used to have separation anxiety with Addie, but now I can tell her and she understands. With Gracie, I know she does not understand. We've never boarded Gracie in 8 years, but we've had friends and family keep her. You know people will love your child as you do, but with a dog, you just never know.
6. I research everything, from the best buy on something, to the best place to stay, to the things to do when you travel. Even when we travel to see family, I will see what is going on in the area just to make sure we don't miss anything! I am usually laid back and flexible when we arrive, but I have a list of things I want to do during the time we are there.
This really feels like confession. Anyone else want to divulge some painful secrets? Be my guest!

My iron is your garage door : )
I was totally unaware of all your OCD habits--you hide them well!
On the pillow front, have you ever seen that Oprah about dustmites?? YIKES! And did you say you have SEWN covers on? Yet another thing I didn't know you could do! THanks for responding!
