Tammy asked for it.

1. I cannot stand to have the windshield wipers stopped in mid wipe. It is important to turn the wipers OFF and allow them to come to a complete stop before the car’s engine is turned off. This is not a problem if I’m driving. However, the other adult in this household - who sees no problem with windshield wipers hovering over the windshield - finds me to be a bit annoying.

2. I went from living in a completely furnished, normal looking house to living with an assortment of furniture that has over the past two years included a (very sturdy) cardboard box table and a lawn chair in my living room. We definitely made some concessions to be able to relocate, but letting go of the stuff has been very liberating.

3. I love office supply stores. Sticky notes? Pens? Notepads? What more could a girl want?

4. I love chocolate milkshakes, though I only have them infrequently anymore. When I do have them, they must be made properly: with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Blending up chocolate ice cream does not classify as an an actual chocolate shake in my book.

5. And while we’re talking food, bananas are only to be eaten fresh. Banana bread, banana splits, banana anything is really just pretty gross to me. Fresh bananas must not have spots.

6. Thinking, thinking…I have a collection of depression glass that I started when my favorite aunt introduced me to it when it could still be picked up at garage sales for less than a quarter a piece and I was less than ten years old. It’s in boxes and stored away, but someday (someday!) I’ll have a cabinet to display it in.

7. I have worn long pants exactly twice in the past two years. Once to ride horses, once on Mauna Kea to watch the sunset.

So. Anyone else want to fess up to their quirks?
