It has come to my attention recently that I might have just a few 'quirks.' Oddities really, if you ask me. You know those funny little things that make us individuals and not cattle or sheep? In taking a bit of a personal inventory of some of these I thought it may be enlightening to share a small list with my readers. Some of you who know me on different levels will be familiar with one or two of them, while those who've known me longer or more personally may laugh and want to add to my short list, but in either case here goes my attempt at somewhat of a list.
The way I order my breakfast at McDonald's can be entertaining. It goes like this. "Good morning, I'd like a sausage muffin, please, (always polite) with no egg and no cheese. I would also like a small coffee with two creams. Can you please put the cream in the coffee for me? And, please add four ice cubes." Ordering a salad at Chillis is also fun because in addition to the dressings that comes with my favorite salad I'd also like two additional servings of that dressing that has avacado in it. The funny part to this is that I never remember the name of the dressing and they have to run through the list each and every time for me. I will send steaks back that are over-cooked, and tip very well for good service. The meek diner probably doesn't want to go out with me.
Eggs are another of my paculiarities. I can't see or realize that I am eating any of the white. If I see it, I can not eat it. My favorite thing is deviled eggs because its so easy NOT to eat the white part when all you have to do is lick out the centers and leave those yucky whites behind. Scrambled eggs can be eaten if they are beaten well enough, cooked softly, never browned and I watched the entire process. I know it will never make sense.
Where I sleep is a special place, almost like my nest. It must be tidied up before I can crawl into it. Habit dictates that I make my bed as soon as I wake up, but if time does not permit I still make it up before I can go to bed at night. My ritual is that I must shower before bed as well and if life were perfect someone else would change my sheets on a daily basis. Living in a hotel would be nice. Clean white sheets on a daily basis, that is what I call a perfect way to sleep.
Smoking is the last thing I'm going to list here, and although I don't smoke often, when I do there is protocol. I do not light my own cigarette but much perfer to steal a lit one from the hand of someone else. And, I imagine that you've guessed that I don't buy them. Not sure if that is another oddity or just that I'm cheap, uh or frugal. And, no we are not going to list frugal as being another of my 'quirks!'
As I said before, it's the little things in life that make us individuals. Each of us have these little things, the way we eat, little rituals we go thru, the things we do, the way we go through our day to day activities. Some may call them quirks, but me, I'd just prefer to call it........living in Bekka's world.

"Eggs are another of my paculiarities. ..." Its pEcul.
I will never understand the eggs and sheets issue but I do get a kick out of it.
THAT is called OCD i believe...hehehe
i do have some things, i admit, but you have me beat on that level. You remind me of how my mother HAS to do certain things in her daily routine. I think it would drive me nuts if i HAD to do all of that all the time. Oh well, it's what makes us different.
I've known you for years, I have loved you when you allowed me. Trust me, my dear, they are all endearing qualities. It makes you who you are and as I've said so many times, it is those qualities that makes you so very easy to love.
