Meme: Quirky Quirks

I've been tagged to do a meme by Channah over at Get a Grip, Mom. And since I have not gotten around to uploading all my vacation photos I thought I would give this one a go.

It's called Quirky Quirks and here are the rules:

1) Link to the person who tagged me.
2) Mention the rules.
3) Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about myself.
4) Tag six other blogger´s by linking to them.
5) Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they’ve been tagged.

Hmm, 6 Quirks:

1. I don't like eating food if I know someone else touched it. Even family. I watch those cooking shows and see them mush their hands in the food while making it and just think about having to eat it. Silly, I know. I realize that I eat food touched by someone everyday. I just can't see it happen. One exception, my kids and Ryan. I may eat something they touched. Exception to the exception, if there has been any snotty activity lately then all bets are off.
2. I cannot stand the sound of someone else clipping their nails. It makes me cringe.
3. I always need to sleep with a blanket or sheet on. Even in the summer.
4. I hate cleaning the food scraps out of the drain. It's worse than poo diapers.
5. I do not like drinking milk or beer. I will tolerate them if they are very, very cold. If they start to move towards room temperature forget about it. One exception: Chocolate in the milk. That's just yummy.
6. I rotate the kids clothes in their drawers. Counter-clockwise. They both have such cute clothes that I am afraid that if I put the clean ones in the front, on top, that they will never wear them all. So each time I put away clean clothes I rotate the ones already there.

This is the part where I am supposed to tag someone. However, I am not going to this time. I am so behind in reading blogs that I fear this meme has already made the rounds. If you want to join in the fun, feel free.

Meme: How many of me?

I was short on topics today so I found this site that calculates how many people in the US have the same name as you.

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 1 or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

See, I am unique.

Just for kicks (and to avoid cleaning for just a bit longer) I plugged my maiden name in and I got the same results.

What do you get?
