I'm not good at these.

I've been 'tagged'. I've been putting it off b/c I'm not sure how to answer...

Here are the rules:
*If you are tagged, you must first post the rules:
*Write 7 strange characteristics about yourself. They interest us all!
*Tag 5 other people at the end of your Post.
*Visit everyone that you have tagged and leave a comment on their blog to let them know that they have been tagged.


I'm really having a hard time w/ this b/c what may be strange to someone else is totally NORMAL to me!

1. I love rainy days... but I don't like thunderstorms (especially at night). I think it is b/c the thunder startles me and I don't like to be startled.

2. I am a germaphobe. (I know that is not the correct word for it, but its the word I use!)

3. I have a few OCD tendencies. I've mentioned before about the thermostat and volume controls always have to be on an even number. There are more... but really, this isn't about airing someones (mine) dirty laundry! ;)

4. Somethings I'll spend money on, almost to the extent of being wasteful, then other things I can be very frugal.

5. I'm obsessive about my kitchen cabinets and drawers being organized. Yet, not so much with other closets in my house.

6. I like to keep my shoes in their original boxes.

7. While I ALWAYS want to know the directions to something, I may not always follow them, especially while cooking.

Quick story on the germ thing...
I was at a scrapbook store with a friend, they had individual eyelets and brads and other small things to buy. I picked out a few and handed them to the girl behind the counter, she opened an envelope then handed it to me and said "Do you want to lick this closed?" UM NO! your hand was just all over the clue line! EW! I went to great pains to figure out a way to close it so that stuff wouldn't fall out AND so that I wouldn't have to lick it. My friend offered to but EW! I don't want to open the envelope w/ your tongue germs on it!!!!
At The Girls bday party somehow this story came up... someone mentioned that I sound like Monk. LOL! It's funny b/c it is almost true! :)
BTW, MONK is a tv show. You can rent the dvd's. I LOVE this show!!!


Ok, now to tag...

So.. how do you open letters that come in the mail? LOL. When I send you a card, I promise to seal the envelope with a wet sponge! (P.S. -I love Monk too!)
