Hi there. I'm Yvonne, and I'm a wife, Mom of 2 and business chick. Welcome!
Here's the game:
Write 6 odd or quirky things about yourself. (strange compulsions or habits)
- I hate shaking hands....I'd rather hug. (hands are disgusting, and you never know where they've been or what's living on them! When entering a church, I always keep my mitts on until we've passed "the greeters"!!)
- I love vacuuming. I hate having crumbs or fluff on the floor, and I vacuum daily sometimes. I find it "fun".
- I can't eat ANY meat without ketchup. (or a sauce)
- I won't eat certain foods based on their texture. I don't care how good it tastes...if it 'feels weird' to me, I won't eat it.
- Dollarama is my "happy place". I positively LOVE going there....
- I can squeak my ears, to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle"
(Mom, Erica, Renee, Brigitte, Lynne, Colleen, Deanna, Jennifer and Vikki.... consider yourselves TAGGED!)

I had no idea that you had an issue with shaking hands! I thought that was very interesting to learn about you!
Okay, this might be hard (after all, I'm so perfect you know :)
1. I wiggle my toes frantically when I'm happy. It's kind of like a dog wagging his tail.
2. I always have to make sure my nose is clean; even at home. that's why I'm always checking myself out in mirrors.
3. My idea of a vacation-walking through a store by myself. If you want to make me happy, send my someplace by myself...I love it.
4. I can't stand to step on something like a piece of food on the floor. It drives my CRAZY!
5. At night when I climb in bed after a long day, I love to scratch my back.
6. I made it to the last one-I have one hard and fast rule about eating junk food: always have something healthy first and then I'm automatically justified with that piece of cake.
You forgot to mention your obsession with bleach, Yvonne.
Quirks . . . me, naw! Well, maybe a few.
1. If I know someone that exagerates the truth just to look better, I lose respect for that person. I consider that practise lying and it makes me very upset.
2. I love being with people but I have a limit. I start to get tired and quiet, it exhausts me.
3. I absolutely love to record; music, my kid's voices, TV movies. I love to record TV shows now especially since we now have a HDD Recorder.
4. I bite my nails. I bite them when I'm stressed, bored, or craving something sweet to eat. I'm trying to quit.
5. I surprise myself when people laugh at something I've said and I wasn't even trying very hard to be funny. Ron has a list of those funny things, especially things I've said when I'm sleeping.
6. I love to shop at "The Children's Place". I'm loving the sales. It is so much fun to find gorgeous good quality clothes for $3.

Those are great peeves....do you have any strange quirks?
Definition of quirk: A strange attitude or habit . . . . I think I hit the nail on the head.
This is actually a hard game but I tough i needed to write it on my blog so there it is:
1-My personal space is very important to me.
2-I constantly compare myself to others because I am uncertain of myself
3-you want to make me happy bring me seafood
4-I love folklore and jazz music
5-doing craft bring me in another world help me forget about the present time
6-I just hate doing laundry
Funny Yvonne,
Nr 3 is my favorite too!
Nr 5 I can remember to go too
(I am happy not being tagged)
Just curious what Trudy/Truus will write:)
Have a good week!
Ok, here you go.....
1. The sound of the following gives me the creeps. Just thinking about them gives me goosebumps...
styrafoam rubbing against something
Wet wool rubbing
Straws squeeking against plastic lids
Cutting cardboard
2. I can get into laughing fits that will last for upto 20 minutes. And then it can take just the simpliest thing to keep me going.
3. I don't like shopping. I shop out of necessity.
4. I don't like large crowds. This is one of the reasons why Christmas shopping is done by October. If I walk in a store and it is too crowded, I will turn and walk right out.
5. I am horrible at finishing anything. I am good at starting, no so good at finishing. My husband likes to point out how I always leave a few sips in every glass.
6. See #5
I hate shaking hands, I call it: "Pass the bugs!"
I don't like to eat hamburgers, to much stuff to put my teeth in, ugh!
I hate thick slices of cheese.
I don't mind dust, but hate clutter,
Everything has to be in the same place, this goes for the office, home, yes and even the fridge.
I do not like unexpected company because my make-up HAS TO BE ON!!
I will not set one foot out of the door without it.
I guess one more, have to think.
I do not like to see anybody with dirty nails. I love watching hands, I can almost tell a person's character by their movements, weird, yes I know!
I'm such a freak, six is not enough!
Ok, so I'm a bit late on this...
1) I can't go to sleep unless my nose is completely empty! (somehow I feel like I can't breathe enough)
2) I love blue Canadian mini eggs (but not the new ones - the blue is not as warm of a color anymore and the American ones are different too). After a stressful day, I used to climb into bed after separating all the blue ones and eat them by candlelight with music playing.
3) I feel lost without a cell phone or pager. I always need to be available for someone to get ahold of me!
4) Sometimes I laugh at really bad times and I can't get control regardless of what I try. Then someone will say something or look at me harshly and it's like a light switch shuts me off!
5) My thumbs are double jointed. They naturally bend backwards and appear flat. I can touch my wrist with them.
6) I don't clean very often (especially my floors) because I don't know how to do a half-hazard quick sweep. When I do it, I move furniture, go under everything and remove every speck!
