Quirks

We all have our little idiosyncrasies. Some of us more than others. And yes, I have a few.

*I have to set out my clothes for the next day the night before.
I've always done this. In fact, I set out the kids clothes as well, because I am SO not a morning person. If I have to grab something out of the closet in the morning, I'm likely to be heading off to work in mismatched socks and a mini-skirt in the dead of winter.

*Shoes have to come off at the door.
The kids have this one down now. They know that the shoes go in the basket by the door and the jackets go on the hook. And this time of year, the gloves and hats go in the little basket next to the shoe basket.

*I have to wash my face every night before bed.
I've done this every since I was a teenager and heard that leaving make-up on your face overnight actually ages your skin 30 days for every night. Yikes!

*I can't stand being late.
If you're late, you better have a damn good reason!

*Turn off the light when you leave the room.
The 7 year old will actually get after the 4 year old now for not turning off the light after leaving the room. Even though to go into his room, he has to first turn on the hall light and then his bedroom light because he's afraid of the dark.

I Want That

Maybe my standards are too high, but I know what I want. I've always known what I want. I just don't know if it exists. He doesn't have to be rich and famous (although that never hurts, now does it). ;}

I've been on a Johnny Depp kick with renting movies lately. This week I have What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Finding Neverland. I'm not crazy about brown eyes. I never have been. The ex has brown eyes and yes, he's full of shit. But Johnny just seems to make it work somehow. I like that whole mysterious, eccentric, intelligent, fringe thing he has going. And he seems to always choose rolls that are similar in that they are outcast type characters who are dangerous, charming, humorous, charismatic, secretive and alluring. Oh, and sexy. Musn't forget that. Most definitely sexy.

And he's a great daddy.

That's all I want. All I'm really asking for.

No wonder I'm still single.
