I got tagged
Getting tagged means writing 5 idiosyncracies or weird things about yourself. It is hard to choose which ones.
1. I am a "goody twoshoes" as my twin sister puts it. I am no fun. Therefore, I am not a person you want to be around to have a good time. (Whatever that means to an individual who likes to party all of the time). I like clean fun of course, so I guess that would be a no win situation for those in the bar scene etc.
2. I have a closet load of clothes,-- some I can wear, some I am losing weight to wear and some stuff I will never wear. In essence, the situation is more descriptive of a hoarder. I have clothes from 30 years ago. I remember going to Miami Beach in 1975 (approx) and buying an outfit in Saks 5th Avenue... I still have it and wear it. I have kept teeshirts and tops of places I have visited-- unfortunately I don't wear all these items and end up dragging them downstairs to store and back upstairs to wear depending on the season.
I have 4 seasons of clothes as most Northeasterners do, so the closet is really cluttered as are the drawers and storage areas, unlike the south --according to my girlfriend in Florida --has only 1 season of clothes- warm. However, I am always surprised to find something I completely forgot about...its like buying a new outfit without leaving your home.
3. I am a fanatic at work. I need to keep everything in place. I have my special writing instruments in a neatly kept drawer. ( yes only special pens will do) and I hoard them too, so no one else will take them. I type all of my labels when most people hand write the category on the label-- just need my office very, very clean. My piles are neatly stacked and my drawers and file cabinets are neat as a pin I guess people might think my brain is that organized too. LOL (unlike my home office, where I live in continual frustration trying to find bills, staples: which I have looked for 2 days now and the post -its, who has the post-its? Still can't find the landscapers mower bill he sent me 2 months ago. He quit cutting the lawn the 1st of October. Wonder if he will show up again next summer?
4. I buy books, books and more books hoping to read them. Currently I have about 30 more than I can possibly read and I am reading 2 concurrently. Eventually most of those books are given to the local library. Practically most of them end up there, unread or just skimmed through. I even bought a book on the Web Pages and Blogs for Idiots. Unfortunately it has not been very helpful to me.
5. Lastly, my weirdest thing is -- I cannot let the food on the plate touch each other unless it belongs together. Macoroni and cheese is good but not beets and meat or corn and potatoes. They cannot not touch. I don't have a Sesame Street compartmentalized plate, although my family has threatened to buy me one, because I will work tediously to make sure they don't touch even if it means separate plates and bowls. Making sure the food doesn't mix with each other when I go out to the restaurants isn't very easy since the staff is reluctant to give me extra dinnerware, so I have learned to choose the food selection carefully.
This is my list... and I will tag 5 more people when I figure out how to do it.

I do most of these things too - except the food thing! That has to make it hard to eat.
My husband does that a little with food. He doesn't like it touching - but he'll still eat it.
