WEIRD HABITS

I have been tagged to do this blogsphere game called “Five Weird Habits,” by Jude from Long-Toothed Hinterland Dweller at December 22, 2005. I'm to list more than five habits of mine and this is just weird, isn’t? Many habits I have are weird, another I think it’s just normal habits! LOL! For better or worse, my secrets are out! So here’s my list. Notice: this list is a "work in progress"!

I can’t start the day without my cup of coffee with milk, always very hot, without sugar or diet sugar. And I love toast. I will post soon (with photos) my very easy recipe of coffee with milk, very creamy and yummy!

I like to sleep with some weak light on. I don't like complete darkness.

I keep a bottle of water by my bed at night, just in case I wake up dying of thirst. And I always did!

I can't leave the house without my earring on.

I don’t use watch.

I take the longer showers possible.

I must to dye my hair monthly. I don't want anyone to see my grey!
I am a blogger and addicted to it.

I love to read blogs with post neat and legible. I prefer larger print than "tiny" and a lighter background or a good contrast. My eyes don't be comfortable with tiny prints.

I love my computer, it’s a DELL and I hate to share my computer . (My husband has his own PC)

I don’t like read or write if there's some talk around me.

I don’t like work in a messy workspace and I don’t like cook in a messy kitchen.

I talk to my dog Flora because she really can understand me.

I love so much Flora, but she never jumps on my bed or sleeps with me. Update: yesterday Flora jumped on my bed and waved her tail very happy! She looks like a spoiled child, and the way she contradicts me was just hilarious (LOL)!

I check out twice the stove, the iron and the door before leave the house or when going to bed at night. I think these are probably mild OCD! May be this is the explication to love so much MONK!

I knock on wood three times in the case of a bad thought, for “isolated” bad things to happens.

I must watching TV everyday. I always have a virgin cassette on video, just in case I must record any interesting issue. I think this is my journalist’s characteristic and feelings.

When my husband goes to São Paulo and I’m home alone, only at night I will turn on the TV even though I’m not really watching it. I just need the background voices to make me companion.

I have been always reading books, magazines and newspaper, but I don’t consider absolutely the bathroom a library.

My books are arranged on shelves by genre and by alphabetical order.

I enjoy smell news books. They smell so good!

I never leave the house for a long drive without a book, a pen and a notebook.

I love music but I don’t like to have music always on or always playing somewhere. I hate incidental music at restaurants, hairdresser, elevator, doctor’s office and so on.

I don’t like loud music, except in very special occasions.

My eating habits had been always healthier but I have greatly improved in recent years. I rarely eat meat, (this habits has more than eight years) but I eat poultry and fish.

I never drink none liquor. Nothing against who did it, but I don’t like the taste of any liquor.

Every morning I take many vitamins and minerals supplements.

If something is on or past its sell-by date, I won't eat or drink it.

I don’t have small habits like hair twiddling, nail biting, repeated sniffing and/or throat clearing, tics as crack fingers, toes and other joints, and compulsive tapper with fingers and feet.

I don't have habits like smoking and gambling.

PS: If you Google the phrase "Five Weird Habits” you will get many pages of oddness. It’s hilarious and a great relief , because you just think: “Lucky me, I am a normal person”!
