Oh, my goodness! I bought a bag of Skittles over the weekend and my fiance cannot get over the fact that I eat them in pairs and in alphabetical order! That means grape first, then lemon, lime, orange, then strawberry! I also eat Starburst in similar order -- orange, lemon, strawberry and cherry.

What else is there ...

I must bathe/shower in scalding hot water or I don't feel clean. I itch for hours after a cold/lukewarm shower.

I flip my pillow over so that my face touches the cool side.

Ever since seeing Dressed to Kill as a child, I too must be covered from the neck down, regardless of the temperature.

This is a habit I've grown out of, but I used to eat the meat on my plate for last. I guess I was getting rid of everything else first and saving the "best" for last.

I have a bad habit of eating my desert first and the meal last.:p

My turn, my turn...

1. I have to sleep up under the covers, preferrably a comforter. As a child, I mastered sleeping on the edge of the bed in one spot to avoid messing up the covers, that way in the morning, all I had to do was straighten out that one corner. Lazy, I know. This has spilled over into my adult life and it saves time when I'm running late.

2. I have to hit the snooze button at least 3 times before I wake up in the morning.

3. I have to wear heels. Usuallly, I only wear gym shoes to workout. I picked up this habit from my mom.

4. I have to use Carmex. Chapstick, Vaseline, or any other brand isn't good enough.

5. My food has to be piping hot in order for to eat it, which explains why I eat my french fries first.

6. Like most, I never touch the knobs, doors, faucet or public restrooms.

7. I eat my food in sections. I never mix the food on my plate.

8. When I eat pancakes, they have to be cut and stacked perfectly before I eat them.

9. All dishes must be clean before I go to bed, no matter how tired I am.

10. I have to have my clothes ready to wear before I get out the shower. I can't take a shower first and then iron my clothes.

11. Once my clothes are on, I have to leave the house. I don't like sitting aound the house in c lothes unless they are ajamas.

12. I have to have shoes on my feet at all times.

13. At night I have to sleep in socks.

14. My undergarments have to match my outfit.

Speaking of candy, I eat M&M's the same way. I always try to eat them 7 at a time (my fave lucky number) and I eat them in ABC color order (blue, brown, green, orange, etc). Also, when I shower, I use hot water and as I get used to the temperature, I make the water hotter to the point of steaming.

My hands and feet have to be moist! I will wake up in the middle of the night to lotion my hands and/or feet.

I have to sleep with the air conditioner on summer/spring/fall/winter

I have to sleep with tissue under my pillow (Idunno)

I must put Visine in my eyes every morning regardless of the presence of redness (I'm addicted)

I HAVE to wear socks to bed too! It could be 500 degrees I nned to have on socks and I need to be covered with a blanket or something.

I must use a paper towel when opening the door of a public restroom from the inside (ALOT of men don't wash their hands)

I never drink from the glass in a restaurant I have to have a straw. I'm really not a drinker so don't think I'm out sipping wine with a straw.

I never pick up my utensils and just eat...I always clean it with a napkin....just like that's killing the germs or something, but it's habit.

I must have lipgloss, chapstick, or lipstick on and with me at all times because if I don't I have a habit of licking my lips like LL


Oh my goodness. I too do all of the above. *I'm wiping my forehead. I'm not alone*

1. I don't like eating at potluck functions and if I do eat say the salad, I have to be the first to get the pickins or else I don't eat. I have a thing about eating after millions of people.

2. I have to at all times use a paper towel to open public bathroom doors.

3. I never turn the water off without first using a paper towel in public bathrooms.


4. If out in public and before I eat, I always wash my hands or I'll use my sanitizer. Thank God for liquid sanitizer.

5. I hate see anything on my carpet. If I see a piece of lint or paper I have to pick it up immediately.

*I guess this is it for now*

I....
 

1. sleep w/ a cover no matter the temp.

2. sleep w/ 3 pillows under my head and 2 under my legs

3. sleep w/ the tv on. If for some reason it goes off I'll automatically wake up

4.take my shoes off as soon as I get home

5.talk to my parents every other day

6.have to wear(besides clothes...lol) @ least lipstick and earrings when leaving the house

7.am picky about whose cooking I eat

8.pat my head instead of scratching it when it itches

CTFU
 

*I have to sleep with a cover no matter what the temp (like many of you :) )
*I am constantly cleaning my nails. I don't care if they break, as long as they are clean.
*I always clean my ears, too. Doc told me to knock it off, but I can't help it. I feel like I've been swimming otherwise.
*When eating candy that comes in different colors or flavors (like Skittles), I have to eat the same amount of each, usually in the same order.
*I always sleep with two pillows, even if one is just over to the side. When my boyfriend comes by and steals one, I get another from a different room.
*I am always planning, organizing, and reorganizing things just to make them more efficient (even when I should be doing something else ;) ).
*I also keep rearranging the furniture. :p

3. when eating, my food CANNOT touch

4. also when eating, I MUST finish everything at the same time; if I see that I'm going to end up with more of something at the end of my meal, then I will put a little bit more of whatever is lacking, in order to finish everything together. (since very young childhood)

Hmmm, let's see

During the winter my bedroom must be at 68 degrees at all times while I am sleeping; I cannot sleep in a hot room.

I must eat something sweet after lunch

My sandwiches and hamburgers must be cut in half; I can't eat a sandwich whole.

My books are arranged in a manner that only I understand; DON'T TRY TO REARRANGE THEM!!

I always read the Columbus Southeast Messenger (weekly community newspaper) while I'm in my library (read: bathroom) on Sunday nights.

I always walk to eateries in the downtown area at lunchtime even if that means a half-mile trek one way; I hate driving during that time of day and I love walking.

While I eat, I must be either reading, Net surfing, or watching TV.

If I am entering a public bathroom and someone is doing a #2, I will leave and come back later, particularly if I am in there only to wash my hands in preparation to eat. I don't want my appitite ruined by someone doing a certain scene from "Van Wilder" I'M BLEEDING!!!
