Insomiac!

This is one of those nights that sleep has managed to escape, and so to entertain myself, I thought I'd do Stacey's tag. Thanks Stace! There is a very good chance that I have done several tags like this already, but since it is past midnight, I do not hold myself responsible for this post, or the contents therein.

8 Quirks About You
(1) I'm pretty much dysfunctional before I shower. I don't even like to make breakfast or make my bed until I've showered. I've tried going to the gym in the morning before showering, but I can't handle that either, now I just shower twice a day, I know...
(2) I'm not a neat freak, but I'll tear my house apart if I think it smells bad. I hate nasty smells and I am constantly stocking up on wallflowers, sprays, candles and powders to keep my house smelling good. It's not always easy when you're dealing with diapers and kids that pee their pants!
(3) I am a fiend for comfort. I rarely wear "normal" clothes at home. Usually the first thing I do when I walk in my door at any time of the day is put my comfy flannel cloud pants on, yeah, you know the ones, you've all seen them! I LOVE LOVE LOVE big soft blankets, soft fluffy pillows and fat warm socks, it's probably one of the reasons I don't mind winter as much.
(4) For some weird reason that I can't even explain, I don't like to take pain killers, it drives Glenn crazy. Not even a simple motrin for a headache. I don't know why, I just hate the idea of taking it, but I usually do when it gets really bad, or when Glenn makes me.
(5) I love to read books, and I absolutely hate to start a book without finishing it, no matter how much I'm hating it. If i hate a book that much I'll usually stop reading for a while, but I can't start a new book, because it would be like cheating on the one I started but can't finish. Normally I'll force myself to finish, or I'll wait long enough until I've "forgotten" about the book I don't like!
6) I am also addicted to cookbooks. There is nothing more exciting to me then a really good cookbook. I will read it like a novel, and then read it a again. My favorites I practically have memorized.
(7) I'm kind of superstitious (always knocking on wood), and I'm a VERY strong believer in Karma.
(8) I will eat most anything (when I'm not dieting), but I refuse to drink anything when it has any amount of sugar or fat in it, unless that fattening, sugary, beverage is considered to be my treat, and not accompanying my food. I think Diet Coke is healthier for me than fruit juice, and I don't care about what the doctor says!
