WEIRD THINGS I DO

I am back.

It is so weird looking back now.

Now I can see it all much clearer.

I was really in a state there for a week or two or three. Didn't realize how much till now that I am feeling better.

It is weird.

You can be in a state (for lack of a better word to describe it) and not even know you are in one till you look back on it. You know something doesn't seem quite right, but you don't know how bad it is till much later. Anyway, I think I am o.k. now.


So what can I write about.

My space bar sticks on my keypadandevery once in awhile Ihave to go backand putspaces in everywhere. Ishould just leave it all once so you can see what Imean. It canbe quite timeconsuming to correct all the mistakes.

O.k. I decided to leave that last paragraph as is so you can see. Wow, this one seems to be getting worse but I will correct it for you reading pleasure.

So what does one do when one's house is clean and no dreams to look forward to?

I need something to motivate me into doing things again. I am not saying that in a depressing way just a questioning way. Don't want you thinking I am in the dumps or anything like that. Just speaking whatever comes to mind.

So.... I was talking on the phone with my daughter and we started discussing some weird things we do.

I'd like to take a survey of people and find out what kinds of weird things they do.

I tried looking on the net to see if I could find any kinds of listings on it and I couldn't. Maybe I am not using the right terminology for it.

Anyway, here are a few we discussed.

When you eat your smarties (M & M’s) do you eat the red ones last?

I sort mine into piles of different colours and then try to make even piles. Then I will eat one of each colour to make sure the piles stay even. Then sometimes I will get rid of one whole colour. And yes, the red are usually the last to go.

I will also do this with Jelly Beans or any type of candy where there is a lot of colours. In that case I don't usually eat the red ones last but it varies from candy to candy.

When I eat potato chips, I will sort them out into piles of various sizes. All large together, all medium together, folded together, etc. I usually start by eating the crumbs and little ones first and save the large ones for last. The extra dark or crispy I eat right away.

I also tend to eat all the broken sunflower/pumpkin seeds first and the largest first. Then go on to the rest.

I have a tendency to count things all the time. Doesn't matter where I am, I find myself counting things. It happens without me even knowing it. I just catch myself doing it a lot. I've counted the number of signs in a farmers field. I've counted the number of cars that pass on the highway. Do you know cars seem to come in packs of six most of the time. Don't know why that is. When I find seven in a row, I think I have accomplished something.

I also have a tendency to buy things in twos when I go grocery shopping. It is rare that I pick up one of something. Mind you things like ketchup and mustard I usually only pick up one of each. But soups are usually in two's or fours - even numbers.

If I pay for something I will usually pay with a bill even though I may have the correct amount of change. I like having a lot of change. It is like extra money to me.

Another strange thing I noticed when I went to the doctors office the other day. People tend to leave an empty seat between them and the other person - unless they are a couple. I guess we all want our own space.

People have a lot of weird eating habits but I want to find out all kinds of weird things people do. What is it that causes us to do these things? Is it part of our character traits or something else?

I have to have a spoon in a cup when I drink coffee.

Also I have certain eating utensils I will chose over other ones.

I also shake my cans at the end of a drink to make sure it is empty. If I hear sound, I will drink till there is no sound.

Now are all these things JUST ME or do others have their own weird habits and strange things?

Come on fess up.

Tell me yours.

Right now I am very fascinated with this. It must be the latest kick I am on. Hee Hee.

Must do something to keep away the boredoms. Those little rascals creep up on you when you least expect them. Hee Hee.

Well, I guess that is it for today. Will keep sending any more weirdo things I come up with.

Now you know just how REALLY WEIRD I am. Hee Hee. But I guess you already knew that before.

So, with that, I will bid you a great day. (A great WEIRD day)
