Progress and Quirks

I am extremely excited about my Limelight Hydrangea’s evolution over the last few weeks. I feel like a proud mother, disregarding the crunchy-yellow leaves at the bottom of the plant. I tend to kill things that grow from the ground (or in pots for that matter) but look at her go. I am hoping for some full-size poms by the end of fall; just one or two would do. Praise God for his beautiful creation and giving grace to the nurturer!!

On another leaf, the lovely Mrs. Lew tagged me to list 6 quirks about myself. (Upon reading I thought to myself 6, only 6?? Maybe I should list the 6 things that AREN’T quirky.) But here it goes.

1.

I love to make lists. To-do lists mostly. There is just something so satisfying abou1. t crossing items off. However, many times I add things to my lists that I have already done just so I can cross them off. That way by the end of the day I have a full account of what I accomplished. At work, I even use a straight edge to cross off my items (I know I am crazy). Then my list looks pristine.

2. I HATE going to Wal-Mart. It seriously gives me anxiety just to think about it. We have a local IGA in the small town that we live in and I would rather spend double the money than step foot in that firestorm. Avoiding it altogether is virtually impossible, but I try to avoid it at all costs. I guess I am a boutique shopper.

3. When I clean I have to throw everything in the middle of the room and then reorganize it, piece by piece. This is only the case when things are REALLY BAD, which truthfully hasn’t happened since I got married. Maybe Matty has had an impact on me.

4. I rarely eat a real lunch. I tend to just snack during the day. Usually something like cheese and crackers, popcorn, or cookies hold me over until dinner. (This could partially be caused by the attention-seeking Izzy who hardly lets me sit down for 5 minutes over my lunch hour).

5. I am obsessive about washing kitchen rags/towels. After I use them once I can’t stand using them again. It makes for a whole lot more laundry, but in my opinion it is worth it.

6. I crack my neck and back A LOT. I know some people find it disgusting but I think it feels amazing. Matt swears he isn’t going to pop my back any more but somehow I get my way.
