I've been tagged!

Here's some juvenile fun.

My friend, Maribeth, tagged me, and so here you go . . .

Here are the rules as I understand them:
1. Include a link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell six unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag six bloggers by linking.
5. Leave a comment for each blogger.

1. I always make too much food. Whenever we attend a pot luck or party where we're supposed to bring food, rarely do I arrive with just one item. I think it's a hereditary trait. My aunt jokes about the church potlucks my mother's family attended when they were growing up because my grandmother would cook an entire meal instead of just one item. My mother and I don't normally go that far, but we both like to have plenty of food at any social gathering. For example, for our Labor Day party at the Kerrigan's, I brought homemade chocolate chip cookies, baked beans in a crock pot, and fruit w/ fruit dip. I love to make people happy with yummy food.

2. I'm a perfectionist, but not a normal one. You would never guess by looking at my house or my office that I'm a perfectionist, but I am. Things are normally a mess because I don't attempt to clean or straighten up unless I have time to do it perfectly. For example, I normally start to clean my room by organizing my closet. I can't put clothes in it until it looks perfect. If I don't have the time to do it perfectly right, I'd just rather not do it at all.

3. I LOVE grammar. While I don't always proofread my posts on my blog or get everything right when I first publish my post, I am still quite the grammar stickler and will correct previous posts when I see a grammar error. I do recognize that some grammar rules are ridiculous in informal writing, so I've matured to the point that I can occasionally break them. Although, even when I break them there had better be a darn good reason to do so. I'm also a master blue booker, but only my lawyer friends will have any idea what that means. Sadly, bluebooking is not as important in real practice as it was in law school. Sigh.

4. I have very clean ears. I normally clean them at least once a day. The doctor has actually remarked while looking in my ear, "Wow, your ears are clean!"

5. I love to argue. That's not really a surprise to anyone who knows me well. I enjoy a good discussion, and I've even been known to start arguments for fun. It drives Jon nuts, and I have to remember that not everyone enjoys "discussions" as much as I do.

6. I loathe two-door cars. When I was very little, we lived in Tallahassee, FL, and my mom drove a red station wagon. Then one day in 1985, Hurricane Kate was on her way to the Florida coast. It was raining when my dad got home from work, so he parked in my mother's parking spot in the driveway because it was closer to the front door. When my mom got home, she had to park where my dad usually parked. That night, the hurricane hit, and we had bad tornados in Tallahassee. Thankfully, we were alright, but a tree had fallen on my mom's station wagon. She was not happy because Daddy's Nova was just fine in her usual parking spot. :) That good 'ole station wagon was replaced with my grandmother's two door circa 1979 Cutlass Supreme. I endured many car trips crammed in the back seat with my two brothers. Finally, in December of 1993, my mom got a minivan. I was in heaven. I had my own bench for car trips. What could be better? To this day, I cringe at the thought of ever having a two-door car. I don't like any two door car, no matter how sporty or cool it is. God-willing, I will never own a two-door car. They're simply awful.
