1. Once I get a song stuck in my head - oh the poor saps who have to put up with it until my infatuation has run it's course. I guess the only saving grace is that I don't actually sing the song, just put it on endless repeat for
2. You gotta fold a towel a certain way to look right to me. Dearest one overheard me talking to my mom about this one day and afterwards wanted to know what "right" looked like. The man is the king of folding towels now. They look like they've been pressed when he's done folding them. I haven't folded more than a few towels since. Worked myself right out of a job. Towels folded in half and then again in half, then folded in thirds, finished end facing out, look fantastic.
3. However much I love all those nicely folded towels on the shelf there's usually a mass of dirty ones on the floor. Those look fine to me, too. Go figure.
4. I should be asking dearest one and kidlets what's the weirdest thing about me. I'm sure they could list ten things faster than I can type. (Leave 'em in the comments family.)I love to type. If I didn't have problems already with my shoulders I would be happy to get paid to type the day away.
5. I love a bawdy joke, a crude joke, dark humour, I do. Or a funny bumper sticker or what have you. On the weekend a lesbian friend of my sister's, bought a pin which said, "I can't even think straight." I'm still chuckling over that one. Repeating these jokes to the wrong people is met with stunned silence. The only problem is I can't usually tell who fits the criteria of wrong people until after the fact.
6. I can sit with piles of books, papers, stuff around me. But not with any residue of any kind on my fingers. Must wash hands immediately and go sit myself back down amongst the junk. Dearest one recently watched a show about slobs on tv and turned to me with a 'omg, she'll never change' look on his face.
7. Tie your long hair back if you want to come into my kitchen. Pugs excepted. LOL can you imagine a pug with long hair?
8. Family Feud is my favourite game show. Growing up on the prairies without cable tv,meant I wasn't introduced to this game show until I went east for college. Today, being a pj/couch day, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
9. To our friends dearest one and I are known as the heckler and the diplomat. Guess which one I am?
10. I wake up with a mowhawk hairstyle every day of my life. On the weekend I slept at oldest son's place after finishing the Relay For Life. His first comment when he came home again and saw me? "It's been a while since I saw the mowhawk." Thankfully a shower and a hair dryer fix the situation.

"I can't even think straight!" Ha! Good one.

Now that I know what right is, I feel the need to go inspect my towels to see if they are folded right.
i love this list! fills in the little blanks around the edges - i know the deep, dark & wonderful things about you, but the little, normal things i miss because we have never met. it's so weird to know people on the level we know each other and yet not know these things about each other. i think i'll play if i get a chance between errands today.
I have to agree with you about the towels, Hope.
diplomat? wish i knew ya better.
Personally, I think the towel issue is just another one of the games wives like to play with their husband. Everytime I think I've conquered Beth's way of folding the towels and washcloths, she informs me she has started doing it another way. It also has always been a mystery to me that she buys towels to simply stock on a shelf somewhere. "Don't use that one!" I'm told from time to time; "It's a new one!" And, while I'm on a roll, why is it every time I learn where she has things filed in the kitchen, voila!, she rearranges the kitchen!!!...
I totally agree with you on the towels, the problem here is my husband doesn't care, so if I want it done right, I have to do it myself! lol
Now I know why I fold towels the way I do...and I'm teaching S. The pattern continues...
As for weird things...hmmm. I don't know. You listed the obvious ones.
