My friend Rachel tagged me. I don’t usually participate in these kinds of things because frankly they annoy me a little. But I’m bored and I love Rachel so I decided to humor everyone!
6 habits, things I like to do, or things about myself:
1. I have a love hate relationship with my shoes. My philosophy is you can never have too many shoes. However the first thing I do when I get home from work is take my shoes off and avoid putting them back on at all costs. Anytime I go somewhere and can appropriately take my shoes off I do. At work under my desk, socked feet all the way.
2. Dr. Pepper. I can’t live without it. Anyone that knows me very well can attest to that. I try not to drink it everyday. Recently I’ve only been drinking it on the weekends. But when I’m stressed or have a headache nothing is better than a cold Dr. Pepper. On our wedding day I got so thirsty between wedding ceremony and photos that by the time we got to our wedding dinner I downed several glasses for DP. Bernd quickly learned that I should not have caffeine after about 7:00pm or else I don’t sleep!
3. I LOVE ice cream. Chocolate based ice cream is the best but really I’m not picky, ice cream is ice cream in my book. I have been sick for going on six days now. The first really bad day of my sickness Bernd got on WebMD to try and figure out how to help me feel better. One thing he read said that you should avoid dairy products when you are congested. So what does Bernd do tonight? He asked me if I want a fruit bar (in case you don’t know what fruit bars are they are the best popsicles in the world). So as I’m sitting in the bedroom eating my fruit bar I hear the clang of a spoon and a bowl coming from the office. Bernd is eating ice cream without me. I’ve gone six days without ice cream and he knows its killing me but he eats it in front of me anyway. Rude!
4. I have recently been told that I have a strange habit of looking in things like pop cans and sauce bottles to see how much is left inside. This really bothers Bernd because usually the object is see through but I always look in through the opening at the top, squint one eye and check it out. I had no idea I did this until recently but apparently I do it a lot.
5. I like to color coordinate things. At some point in my childhood education I learned all the colors of the rainbow and the order they appear. Ever since then I can’t not put things in rainbow order. When I highlight things at work it has to be pink (red), orange, yellow, green, blue in that order. My closet, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. It’s crazy I know.
6. Another of my ODC habits is arranging money. When I have cash in my wallet it has to be arranged smallest bills to largest, all of the money has to be facing the same way and turned in the same direction. All of the corners need to be unfolded. Unfortunately this extends beyond my wallet. Monopoly, Life, Masterpiece, any game that has play money I have to arrange all of the money before I can fully enjoy the game.
So that’s probably more than anyone every wanted to know about my crazy brain and my boring life! I’m supposed to tag 5 more people. I fully understand if you don’t want to participate but I feel obligated to play the game! Bernd, Josh or Sabrina (or both), Marisa, Mom, and Margaret.

Now that I think about it, I think I have seen you look into a DP bottle or two during a quesadilla party through the opening. I guess I don't see you do it enough to notice it, but I think that's really funny! I do things that bug Zakk that only he's pointed out too!!! Thanks for playing along :) You're the best.
Next time I come to visit you, I'll bring you a DP!
Well I knew 3 out of 6! I have never noticed you looking in things and I didn't know that you color coordinated your clothes (maybe thanks to Rainbow Brite?) or arranged your money.
I'm not into the whole tag thing either, but maybe I will do it since you did...but don't hold your breath.
P.S. Harrison misses you!
I miss Harrison too! Tell him I love him and give him some smooches for me.
I'm so with you on the rainbow thing. It's like a subconscious process that your brain got stuck on when you were young...like simple math facts (2 + 2=4, etc...) weird.
Anyway, i think you are anything but boring!
Even though you said these things annoy you, I definitely enjoyed reading it. It's fun to learn random things about people that most likely wouldn't come up in conversation when we see you. It's also pretty crazy that we do things and sometimes don't even notice that we do them. And of course other people notice and point them out to you. Funny stuff!
