Tagged - Quirks...

1.  Link the person who tagged you...Haley
2.  Post these rules.
3.  Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4.  Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them.

1.  My biggest pet peeve is an unfinished project.  I cannot stand to see something just sitting there partially finished.  I am worried that I will die or something before I get it done and then someone else will be left with a stupid, unfinished project.  Besides, it is a huge waste of money if you don't finish something.  This is also the reason why I read books really fast.  Can you imagine dying before you finished a book?  You would spend the rest of eternity wondering what happened and how it ended.
2.  I alphabetize my Disney movies.  I don't do it with the others, but the Disney movies are in order.  It is a very weird quirk of which I am fully aware, but no one else probably notices. If the kids get into the movies it drives me nuts until they are back in order.
3.  I am an obsessive compulsive hand washer and I hate to touch public things like doorknobs, shopping carts, etc.  It's like I can feel the germs crawling on me.  I get totally grossed out.  I also have a hard time shaking people's hands, which is something I know I need to get over.  I can pinpoint a research paper written on pandemics for this recent OCD.
4.  I can't stand not knowing how to do things.   
5.  I lay in bed at night and instead of dreaming I will map out projects in my head and redo them until I think they will work.  It's weird and entirely subconscious, but then I am able to wake up and most of the time be successful at whatever it is I am attempting.
6.  I love the smell of the first day of school, with all the new clothes and school supplies.  Crayola crayons have the best smell, as well as new, fruity erasers.  I also love to look at office supply stores and see the fun they have to offer!

I tag Niki, Jen, Alice, Caroline, Alisa, and Dusty.
