Six Quirky Things Meme

Jen at Little Things tagged me for a little meme. Here are the rules. First, link back to the person who tagged you. List the rules in your post and tell about your six quirks. Then tag six more people.

So here goes:
1. I love peanut butter sandwiches with sliced dill pickles on it. It's really good, you should try it sometime. This is thanks to my dad.

2. I don't like for food to touch on my plate, it just gives me the creeps. It's getting better the older I get.

3. When I was younger, I would eat one thing at a time. Example: eat all my hamburger before my fries and then I'd eat my fries. I'd only eat them one at a time. I definitely have memories of my family waiting on me at a restaurant. I'm reaping what I sowed as Gracie is the slowest eater in the world.

4. B.C. that is before children, I could tell when someone was into my things. Now I don't have as much time to be as meticulous. I could go away and come back and tell someone had been in my closet.

5. I always have to have hand sanitizer in my purse. My sister calls me a germphobe. I don't know about that, but I'm the one that deals with sick kiddos.

6. I have to have a sheet on me just like Michelle or I can't go to sleep. If it's hot as it usually is in our house in the summer, I have to atleast have the sheet on one leg.

Those were hard to come up with. I guess since I think I'm pretty normal. Just joking, I know I'm not normal, but they were still hard to come up with.
