My lil quirks

All the quirky posts got me thinking.

KML's quirky quirks

I make sequences out of nothing. They make no sense but I make them anyway. Cars, paving blocks, shower tiles etc.

I hate odd numbers. I always get things in multiples or give things away in multiples. However, I do have only one husband and one child!

When I set the alarm for the next morning, I feel deprived if the wake up time is less than 8 hours which is the magic number.

I like the smell of rain. I have been known to spray bare bricks with my water spray gun and sniff the bricks.

I love the number 2. I do the 2 times table in my head up to very big numbers and then get lost in my head.

I hold imaginary conversations with people I really want to give a huge telling off with the loud talking and gesticulations. Call it rehearsals or letting off steam, I always feel better afterwards and the people I should be telling off are none the wiser.

I clean all the grouting in my house with an electric toothbrush. It gets into all the little spaces which collect dirt.

I hate shopping. If I have to go out shopping, I make a list of what I am going to get, what shops I am going to get them from and then map my route for the day. Or else, I do it all online, even groceries.

I cannot ride a bicycle. I kept falling off as a child. Something to do with inner ears and balance. Still can't ride. However, that excuse does not work for my inability to drive, hence my soon to start intensive lessons.

I love ironing. Have not done it in a while but find it very therapeutic if I am all alone. Actually all housework is lovely if they all just left the house. Same with cooking.

My idea of a lovely weekend, is food, drink, all the remotes in the house and the phones and just me. No husband, no child, just me. Hmm. The selfish theme again.

I hate travelling. I just love arriving. Packing, dashing to airports or any ports, I can do without. Will be first in line for teleportation.

And this is an additional one. Every chicken I cook must not have a single feather or hair so after cleaning, I use a blowtorch to give it the once over. Also any other animal must have no hairs so I shave the skin on the leg of pork/lamp etcl

Therapy over. BabaLopes is a year old tomorrow and Lopes and I are making cupcakes. Will post the pics. In case we do not get the decorations right, we also bought a cake today.

ps.

We made the cupcakes. See pic above. Could have used brighter colours but we got a bit tired. Now we are just about to shorten the birthday message from Happy Birthday Daddy to Happy Birthday Dad. Lopes and I get a cupcake each :)
