I'm not a routine oriented person, but I've developed one for the 5:30am stumble. The inherited African grey parrot does the narrating with the appropriate sounds or words just before each step of the routine. It's a little eerie.

I think it would be nice sometimes to have a narrator. Your african grey doesn't happen to have the same voice as James Earl Jones does it? That would be the coolest....or maybe extra creepy. hmmm.

I text with my next door neighbor all the time rather than going out in the cold to hang on the porch and drink a brew ==c

I think Morgan Freeman would be my narrator ! Well until I jumped off a cliff from being narrated at least !
 
i cant mix my food when i eat...eat all the veggies first, then the potato, then the meat.....
I'm the only one of my siblings that doesn't do that! Do you separate your m&ms or the like by color too? I purposely buy them red and green ones at xmas so they only have two piles :)
 
I love soaked bread. Whether a piece of bread in soup, biscuits soaked with gravy, stale munchkins, brownies or congo bars in the bottom of my cereal bowl soaking in milk, or my favorite, a piece of bread soaking the juice on a plate from a medium rare steak. Yes, I have all my teeth, call me weird, I don't care.

I'm so weird my wife/son/friends/siblings/mother tells people I'm weird. Some peeps march to their own drum....I'm playin that drum one handed while also playing the tuba (I dont actually play the tuba, but I do play the guitar and harmonica....yes, at the same time!).

for example...to punish my cats for sticking their foot in my drink I lick them in the face. They appear to dislike this, but then, they keep placing their foots in my drinks!

Sometimes when my cat bites me in a playful (hopefully) fashion I bite them back . . . but not hard or anything . . . I figure as the alpha male I've got to make sure they know who is the King of the Jungle . . . er . . . Living Room.

Oh I forgot one . . . I have a "favorite" spoon to eat ice cream with . . . nothing fancy schmancy about it other than the handle is just a little more plain Jane than most of the other spoons in the drawer.

Ew. No. I also do not like banana anything (bread, chips, etc). Just plain unbruised bananas.

It's official then . . . you're not just weird . . . you're bananas! ;)
 
I cruise around like a ninja, even if nobody is there. (you can't say "walk", ninjas don't simply "walk")

the good ones simply materialize. you should work on that one. its a cool party trick.
 
So today I realized, or I should say remembered, a habit that I only came to be aware of about a year ago...when shopping by myself I talk to myself...outloud, whispered but still audible. It's weird, I don't realize I'm doing it until I'm in mid "conversation". I will say something like "oh yeah, I need to grab a pound of butter too" or "shoot, they don't have the right type, wonder if it's stocked somewhere else", "still need bread, lunch stuff & ice-cream". It's weird. I do it & I still think it's weird. I don't do it when shopping with someone, I can get thru a whole store with barely two words spoken but when I'm alone....


Weird snacks? I LOVE diced tomatoes, garlic pickles & onions mixed together & eaten as a snack. My niece & her son do it too now. I also like chopped tomatoes with black olives. Mmmmm

I'm sure if you asked my husband, he could give you a long list of weird things I do but here is a few I'll readily admit to:
1- It's not enough to just have stacks of newspaper in the bin. I actually unfold them, make smaller sections, refold them and put them back in the stack. This way, when I need paper, I can just grab a few pages, not the entire section.
2- if I bring a few more pieces of wood in the house than I needed, when I bring more in for the next day, I take the day before wood, out of the rack and stack the new stuff in then re-stack the day before wood on top. First in, first out even if its just one day
3- I keep all the little bits if soap (when a bar gets down to chips) in a knee high stocking tied in a slip knot at the band, in the laundry room. When I need to get a stain out, I just wet it and scrub it out with my little weird stocking of soap. I think I picked this up from my granny, she lived everyday as if it was still the depression, wasted nothing!
I think we're related except for the soap in the sock thing lol.. I do add a new bar to the old bar though cuz I am cheap.. ;)

A lot of times when driving I will count to see how many letters are on a sign. Total up the numbers on a license plate.

BTW- i drive about 100,000 miles a year. think i'm getting bored with driving?
