Q is for Quirky

So my sister-in-law posted 6 things that are quirky about here. She did not tag anyone but she said she is leaving it open to whoever wants to follow suit. So I am following (I really like stealing other people's blog ideas) and here are my 6 quirky things:

1. I really really like cottage cheese and eat it like a dip with about anything. That includes chips, crackers, carrots, cucumber and whatever else sounds good at the time.
2. I hate fluffy pillows. It is very hard for me to sleep at a hotel or anywhere else without my pillow that I have owned since childhood. It is so flat you can fold it in half and it will stay like that.
3. People say I usually do not use contractions when I talk. I think I do sometimes but then there are a lot of times when I do not. Apparently I also have an accent or something else strange about the way I talk, one person once asked if I was from Russia!
4.I do not like breakfast food all that much (many people already know this). I would rather eat lunch or dinner than breakfast.
5. My mom, brother and I all have the same birthday (and my brother and I are not twins). I am not sure if that is quirky, but it sure is cool. And i was born at 6:21 in the a.m. and James was born at 6:21 at night.
6. I like to take pictures of my car odometer when it reaches monumental milages. For instance I have for 50,000 and one for 75,000. I think I have one for 80,000 but I will definitely have one at 100,000. I might even throw my car a party then.

Ok, now I invite anyone to post about their quirky things!

I love your blog! You are too funny. Kath and I check it out pretty often.
I think we should get Liz to write about her 6 quirky things! (oops, I(aunt karen)don't have a google acct so I'm going to lie and use Kath's, OK?

Now that you mention it, you do not use contractions very much! Huh. I use them far to often. Your kids are going to be much better grammarians than ours! =)

Emily! I don't really like breakfast food, either. I would much rather have french fries or something. Oh, and you already know this, but people say I sound Russian, too. haha.
