6 unspectacular quirks of mine -- Tag!

Kristenph tagged me with this meme.  It was fun to read her 6 quirks.

Here are the rules:

Link to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
List 6 unspectacular quirks you have.
Tag 6 bloggers by linking to them.
Leave a comment on each blog to let them know they were tagged.

6 unspectacular quirks of mine:

  1. I don't wear lipstick or blush or foundation.  I do wear pearly white eye shadow, green eyeliner in an attempt to make my eyes look more green than brown, black mascara, and clear lip balm ... but not every day.
  2. I paint my toenails red in the summer.  I've tried other toenail colors, but red just seems to work best for me. 
  3. I never paint my fingernails, because I am a perfectionist and don't want to take the time to keep them perfect.  Does any Mom (or wife) have time to do that?  It wears off so fast!  I have no idea how women do this.
  4. I carry big purses and big diaper bags, with lots of pockets ... because like a good girl scout, I like to be well-prepared for any contingency, and I want to be able to find what I'm looking for without digging around.  Although nothing compared to Nancy Drew's toolkit from the recent movie.
  5. Despite my "girl scout worthy" purse, I often do not have a clean tissue when I need one -- for myself or someone else.  Sorry ... just don't sneeze when you're with me.
  6. Since my diaper bag is usually packed for two children, it's rather large.  I have a bad habit of bumping people and things with the very large diaper bag hanging by my hip.  So, if you see me coming and I have kids along ... watch out!
A bonus quirk is that I am now bugged by the fact that those 6 points do not have a space between each numbered point.  It looks too cluttered to me without that extra space.  But I can't figure out how to space it better, or how to make the numbers bold.  Oh well.

I am tagging:
  1. Delighting in the Days 
  2. Angels of Heart
  3. Army of 5
  4. Bow of Bronze
  5. Ramblings From The Crazy House
  6. The Cappuccino Life

Now, I'd better let them know they've been tagged.  Hopefully not more than once.

Trusting in Him,
April
