Owning It

Today I'm linking up with Christina for her new "Owning It" series. 

I am obsessed with list making. My roomies in college used to laugh b/c I'd write "shower" at the top of my list. It was just one more thing I could mark off and feel a sense of accomplishment. And my lists MUST be hand written.

I also love whiteout tape. And I will often use it during my list making if I've made a mistake that needs to be fixed. Or I'll use it in my planner. I hate to see things marked out unnecessarily. So you'll typically see me with the following items: planner, loose paper (for lists), pen, highlighter, and whiteout tape.

I have a minor hand washing obsession. As soon as I get home from being away from the house, I must wash my hands. My kids know it's a rule, as soon as they enter the house, they must wash their hands too.

I'm a strict rule follower, my husband lives to follow his own rules. I guess it's true "opposites attract".  So far my daughter follows after me. Not sure where that leaves my son! Ha!

I hate having cold feet and when I'm home I'm always wearing socks and slippers. If I don't have slippers on, my feet will be cold, and I won't be happy.

Speaking of unhappy, I am not a morning person. In fact, it's in everyone's best interest in the morning to let me drink one cup of coffee before interacting with me. Sometimes in the morning (when I know my kids are already awake), I'll sneak downstairs to get my coffee and sit in the dark to drink it. However, once I have my coffee, I'm good to go and actually quite productive (and most productive) in the morning.

I typically leave cabinet doors or drawers open. I've even hit my head on an open door before. And I hate walking into the kitchen and seeing them open, so I'll typically shut them. But I hardly ever shut them the first time.

I always lay my clothes out the night before. And now I lay my daughter's clothes out for the entire week on Sunday night.

I don't mind folding laundry but I hate putting it away.

I have an obsessive personality and once I find a new obsession or once something bothers me, it's hard for me to move on.

And speaking of obsessions, I have an obsession with the Royal Family. I had a book growing up from the Royal Wedding b/c Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married the day I was born. I loved looking at it when I was little. I always loved Prince William. I would love to go to London someday. And random - I love the show "Royals".

I hate pumping gas. Sometimes I'll drive my car until it's almost empty if I know my husband will be driving us somewhere the next day (in my car) so HE can pump the gas.

I have a lot of little quirks about me, and a lot of things that probably drive people crazy. But it's who I am and what makes me, ME.  :)

Thanks for hosting such a fun link up, Christina! I think she'll be hosting it on the last Thursday of every month. You should join in sometime too!

I think I've spilled enough about me!
