Ok, it seems like everybody has posted about their quirks but me, so here you go:

1. I don’t like chocolate. I’m not allergic to it, I just don’t like it. It tastes yucky to me for some reason. And yes, I try some every now and then just to see if I’ve grown out of it. I haven’t. The only exception to this is those packaged ice-cream sandwiches from the grocery store, because I don’t think the cookie part really tastes like chocolate.

2. I’m weird about my fingertips. I’d much rather have blood drawn out of a vein in my arm than have my finger pricked. In fact, when I have the baby, I’m kind of dreading that clippy thing they put on your finger in the hospital.

3. I have to re-tie my running shoes several times to make sure they’re the exact same tightness on each foot. If they’re not, it really bugs me.

4. I’m pregnant and I’m freezing. Aren’t pregnant women supposed to be hot all the time? I’ve always been cold-natured, and pregnancy doesn’t seem to have changed that one bit.

5. I like to do laundry. I hear people talk about laundry piling up and how overwhelming it is, but I don’t seem to have this “laundry problem” that’s plaguing the rest of the nation. (I know it will be harder with a baby, but I still don’t see myself getting buried in it.) I find laundry to be one of the easier household chores—they make these machines that do it for you! Doing laundry gives me a sense of accomplishment without my having done any real work.

6. I just can’t jump on the flip-flop bandwagon. Cheap plastic flip-flops are for the beach or the pool or around the house. I just can’t wear them out in public—they’re not real shoes. I can wear sandals without a back on them, but they need to be made out of leather, or some material other than plastic, and come in a shoe box.
