Tagged for weirdness

I have been tagged by Bethany...which basically means I need to list 6 weird things about myself and then tag others to do the same. I find this a bit difficult only because I am not sure how to define weird....but here it goes:

1. Ever since I was young I have not been able to stand the sound of people eating cereal. Slurping, milk dribbling out, chewing with the mouth open, spoon clinking the bowl...I can't handle it!! Growing up I listed my brothers and dad as the worst cereal eaters; later in life it was my brother in law Nicholas. Now, it is my own son, Sam. He is the worst! But he also doesn't understand "chew with your mouth closed." I can usually get him to stop slurping by telling him to try to eat nice...but really, i just try to do other things like empty the dishwasher or wash some dishes to drown out the noise of his cereal slurping.

2. I am over the top organized and detail orientated. I see evreything in patterns; this is sort of hard to explain. But for example, I have a couple of collage picture frames that have slots for 9 or more photos. Now, I can't just slap any photo in there. No, my "order" needs to appear random. But I can't have like all pictures of Joshy on one side; I can't have all wedding photos on the top; andI certainly can't have an uneven amount of Sam and Josh pictures. No, it is organized to appear random.

3. I don't think I have ever in my life entered a Target store without buying something.

4. I don't understand why more people don't own TiVo. Now that I have one, I never ever watch live TV. I watch what I want when I have the time to watch it- after the kids are in bed, and of course NO COMMERCIALS! I think it should be on everyone's birthday and Christmas lists.

5. I am very competetive. I love to play games and the idea of playing "just for fun" is not something I would ever consider doing- what would be the point? Also, since I am no longer able to play competetive tennis it is one of the reason I became depressed after college.

6. I am anal about my kids' toys. I don't want to lose any and they always have to be picked up at the end of the day. YES I know they are just going to make a mess again, BUT they tend NOT to play with the toys that are already scattered on the ground. Instead, they play with the toys that are picked up--they play by dumping them out again.

Now I am suppose to "tag" other people, but since it is sort of like an e-mail forward...we will see if anyone does it! I will tag those friends of mine that have blogs or LiveJournals.... so: FieryJane, Sarah-bellum, and Kelly!
