"One of my kids just told me I could just name any trait I have and it'd be quirky. Gee, thanks." ~Lori (one of my kids could of said it though - LarryG)
1. I love music stores. Especially ones that repair band instruments, the smell of machine oil and cork grease is really cool.
2. I am a person pleaser and can't stand to be out of sorts with anyone. My kids use this on me all the time, but I don't think they realize it. (They are 11 (m), 16 (f), and 19(f).)
3. I really only want to earn enough to pay my bills and live week to week, paycheck to paycheck. Although long term goals are nice, I just don't have any.
4. I feel insecure with less than $20 cash in my wallet. I prefer to have around 10 or 12 twenties in hand at all times.
5. I heard an interview with Mo Willems on NPR not long ago. I have been collecting Elephant and Piggie books since. They are great to read like a play. Great illustrations fun stories.
6. I am reading Don Quixote. I started in April and have whittled it down to about 390 pages to go. The translation I have is 1000 plus pages. I have read a half dozen other books in the mean time.
I tag;
1. Shiny Things
2. Mercedes
3. Mama Zen
4. ANYBETH
5. Shannon
6. Rox (Got this fixed the name is Rox :)
and YOU!
Leave a comment and let me know if you've fulfilled your tagging duties, so I can come see how quirky you are!

I played along!!! This was fun.
We have some common quirks. It'd be book stores for me, but I am too much of a people pleaser too. I never thought I was, because I am not afraid to speak the truth, but have realized that I have too great a need to be liked/loved, which can be a major fault and like you said, used against me! =:-O
We've always lived paycheck to paycheck. I'm used to it and content. And I always have cash tucked away. Won't leave home without it either.
I have no clue what Elephant and Piggie books are. May have to Google that one!
Never have read Don Quixote. Guess I'd need to clear a couple days for that one. ;-) Have read Gone With the Wind. That may be the longest book I've read, I dunno.
Thanks for playing, it was fun! And thanks for introducing us all to Mrs. P through your NotSoSuper Award, since she's the one who tagged me. :-D
Cool, I'll post mine tomorrow!
I love music stores, too. I spent 5 or 6 years as a working musician, so I spent quite a bit of time in them. And, remember independent record stores? Oh, how I miss them!
thanks for the tag. i'm going to work on it. at first draft every quirk has to do with household chores, that can't be good!
sorry it took me so long but i added you to my blog roll.
Quirk, hm?
Alrighty then!I'll get right on it :)
