Sandi over at Always a work in progress has tagged me to tell all of you seven random quirks of mine, and the only problem I have with that is narrowing my quirks down to only seven!! First, here are the rules:

• Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
  
• Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself~the second tag is for six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. I’m combining them, because although I’m weird enough to have APLENTY to fill these, I can’t think of them all at once….
  
• Tag seven people at the end of your post and include links to their blog. (I don’t know if I’ll have seven but we’ll see!)
  
• Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I have to psych myself up to cook chicken. I know it sounds dumb, but I absolutely cannot stand to touch raw chicken. It gives me serious heebie-jeebies. No matter how often I make chicken, it never gets easier.
2. I eat ketchup on my scrambled eggs. Or salsa. But never do I eat them plain—yuck! And they MUST be cooked to firm or I can NOT eat them!
   
3. Most of you already know this one but it’s one of my biggies: I’m a big huge germaphobe! I must either wash up or gel up before every single meal, even a snack, and also after leaving the grocery or mall or whatever. My poor family is subjected to this as well. Hey, we’ve been pretty stinking healthy so they shouldn’t complain, right?
   
4. I started getting gray hairs when I was 30 years old. I totally blame this one on my husband.
   
5. I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. It drives me batty, especially when I can’t find the source of something that smells bad or when the dog needs a bath. I buy a lot of air fresheners and candles!
   
6. Oh, here’s a weird one for you. I have partial hearing loss in my right ear, but for some reason this makes me ultra-sensitive to background noise. I have no idea why this is! Just yesterday we went out to lunch and hubby had to ask them to turn down the music because it was too much for me. If there is too much background noise, I can’t focus on what is being spoken to me or follow a conversation. Really weird, right?
   
7. After reading though this list, you might be surprised to know that I consider myself to be a pretty low-maintenance woman. (Are you laughing?) Really, I am! I rarely buy new clothes, I never get my nails done, or go to salons, ect. I have like four pairs of earrings as my entire jewelry collection (outside of my wedding set and mothers ring) and I don’t ask to be taken out very often at all! Emotionally, I may be a bit more ‘maintenance required’ but we won’t talk about that!!

So, I know I’m supposed to tag here but I hate doing this! So many of my favorite bloggers don’t like to do meme’s, and so many are busy right now. But I’ll tell you what, I’ll tag some of you and if you don’t want to do it–no skin off me! K?

I’ll tag: Momlovesbeingathome, Amy, Heather, Classic Mama, Real world Martha, Katie, and Marcy
