Tag I'm It

How did I get to be "it"? I didn't even know I was playing LOL! That's alright, I'm always up to play a good game of tag. Remember flashlight tag? I loved that when I was a kid. Anyway, Mannequin over at Fractured Toy has tagged me (her blog is fabulous by the way).

According to game rules I am supposed to tell you all 6 quirky things about myself. Hmmm.....

1. Sneezing quirk. Any time I see someone is about to sneeze I say pineapple. Something my son and I read several years ago about when you are about to sneeze if someone says something off the wall it makes your brain focus on something else....I forget exactly what it was, but now it's just a habit that before a sneeze I say pineapple to others. By the way, I also say Gesundheit when I hear someone else sneeze. Even the next aisle over at the store or wherever.
   
   
2. Yahtzee quirk. My family used to go to Grandma & Grandpa's house every Monday when I was a kid. After dinner we played games and Yahtzee was among the favorites. I was taught the proper way to play is to get your top half of the score sheet first and you really need to get at least 3 of each so you can get that bonus. Apparently, not everyone else plays this way. My husband in particular. I drive him nuts when we play telling him to get his top first. Luckily, my son seems to have taken after me and my side of the family on this.
   
   
3. Food thickness quirk. The thickness of food matters! Take french fries, they are not all created equally. If you have one that is thick cut and one thin cut they will taste differently. Lunch meat is the same way (it should all be shaved and falling apart to taste it's best).
   
   
4. Smelling quirk. Maybe I'm part bloodhound? There are some smells that really bother me and generally they are created by my husband. No, nothing that gross. He just always seems to be using some cleaner or paint or something that has a really strong odor and I can smell it the instant he opens the bottle it comes in. Even when he is outside I can smell it.
   
   
5. Receipt quirk. Apparently I feel as though the world will end if I throw away a receipt.
   
   
6. Cow quirk. I really like Cow Parade Cows and have a small collection. However, I do not like any other cows. I keep trying to explain this to people, but they still give me non-Cow Parade cow things. Cow Parade good, other cow stuff not so much.

Now I am also supposed to tag 6 more bloggers (hey blame Mannequin since she tagged me). I have to link back to those I tagged and leave their tags as comments on their blogs. These rules also have to be on my blog so my victims know what to do. I tagged:

• Wendy at Swisher Sweetie
• Sheri at Unexpected Bliss
• Deborah at Diary of a Mad Editor
• Shilo at Samsakara
• Jackie at Jackie's Grand's
• Sonya at Sony's Happenings (or lack of)

P.S. Do you want to be tagged? Some folks are having probably finding other bloggers to tag because many of us are new to this whole blogging thing. Post your blog link below if you are willing to be "tagged" to play this game.
