I’ve been tagged by my friend Marcia to list my quirky personal policies, she must know me pretty well even though we are in different countries to know that I have quirky personal policies…

1. I always use hand gel when entering my car. I usually squeeze out enough to saturate the handle on a grocery cart because it is just gross to touch that thing, but if not I am sure to gel down when I return to my car. This includes my steering wheel and phone because I may have touched them too you know?
2. I always feel required to respond to emails before deleting them. This (of course) doesn’t apply to junk mail or mail outs… but personal emails.
3. Along that line I also feel compelled to write a reciprocal comment when my blog has been commented on.
4. This one you know, but it’s a major one for me… I have to have sonic ice in my freezer. I make sure to get a new bag before the other is empty. I’m enjoying the freedom of sending Amanda out to get my ice these days (she’s gone right now) and she is happy to go because she gets a drink while there too.
5. I rarely leave the house without makeup. I don’t feel dressed without it. Matt actually prefers me without makeup, but I think husbands just say things like that :o).
6. I will not eat anything containing any fruit or fruit juice or anything that has touched fruit.
7. I always sleep with my purse on my side of the bed. I can’t sleep if I have forgotten to bring it in my room when I go to bed until I get it. I don’t know why.
8. I fold clothes straight from the dryer. They don’t get unloaded first. I like them to be warm so they fold easily. Sometimes if Amanda does her own laundry she will just put what is in the dryer on the table and it unnerves me. You just don’t do it that way.
9. I realize this list is making me sound OCD, I am really very normal…fyi.
10. Last one, I think I have already mentioned this… but I like my car clean. I will now let the kids eat if necessary but they have to keep everything in the bag or box it came in and throw it away at the first stop we make.

If you are a person with quirky personal policies, consider yourself tagged, let me know when you do this so I can read about all your quirkiness.

Now the diet devo… I was telling Matt this morning that I’ve been typing these out on my blog… to which he replied, “how many days are there?” and I looked … there are 180 days. So, I’ll just post them until no one cares anymore and then stop :o).
