I was tagged by Gnightgirl for a meme on listing 5 odd things about myself. Easy peasy, because I am one weiiiiiiiird chickorita.

1. In spite of my love of all things food, if I find something I like I will eat it over and over and over again. I sometimes have the same one to three meals repeatedly for months. I will order the same thing at restaurants every time I go for a long time. The repetition doesn't bother me a bit, I just love whatever it is so much that it tastes good every time. This actually applies to a lot of things I like. I will buy extras in case they run out and I have to find something new. This has happened with things including shoes, holiday candy, pants, perfume, and candles.

2. I really like to eat chocolate and drink Corona with a lime together. My good friend thinks this is disgusting and quirky. I pretty much have to take a sip, then a bite, then a sip, then a bite (balance of flavors you know).

3. I am a chapstick addict. I have a whole flower pot basket filled to the top with chapsticks of all kinds. Other than chapstick, I don't wear makeup. I always have at least two chapsticks stashed in each strategic place. For instance, there are currently two on my desk at work, two in my purse, two in a coat pocket of each of the two coats I wear most often and about four on my dishwasher. I don't put them in my car though, because I am worried they would melt in the sun and/or heat. I apply chapstick hundreds of times a day.

4. In spite of being far from wealthy, I pay a company to come and clean my house every two weeks. I would give up many things in life that I enjoy before giving this up because I HATE cleaning. I hate the time it takes, I hate what the chemicals do to my hands, I hate the physicality of the work. I'd much rather play than clean. But I'm not a total slob and do enjoy a clean house, so a portion of my paycheck will continue to go towards asking others to do what I don't want to (and really, isn't that the point?).

5. I can look forward with one eye and sideways with another. I'm ambidextrous (occularldextrous?) in this task. It's genetic I think, like rolling your tongue (which I can't do) because the kidlet is the only other person I know who can do it. I will sometimes look at the hubster or kidlet in semi-serious situations where a straight face is warranted and do it so no one else can see it. It usually results in attempts to stiffle a giggle fit.

I asked the hubster what his five were for me, so I'll update later if he has any. I'm sure he things lots of stuff I do that I consider normal are totally weird.

I think I'll tag Kimberly if she hasn't done this one already.
