I got tagged my the lovely Lilith. So I guess I'll go ahead and do it, even though this is my second posting of the day.
Here is my list of 6 (yes, ~only~ 6) of my quirks:
1. I absolutely ~abhor~ loud eating. But guess what? My best friend Ryan recently pointed out that I am a loud eater. And, gasp!, I am! OMG. This is terrible. I give so much shit to other people about it and there I am, smacking away. I promise I will break myself of this.
2. I am over the top ticklish. I'm so ticklish that I can't even scratch the bottom of my big toe. I actually can tickle myself.
3. I have a fascination with boobs. Since I got my own boob job, I'm even fascinated with my own. I think I am part male.
4. I eat salt. Like I eat it plain. Mmmm. My friends know this and think I'm insane. For a graduation gift, I got a salt block - like the own they make for cattle. Moooo.
5. I hate it when people have songs as their cell phone ring. Yet I have a song as my cell phone ring. Yes, I know I'm quite the hypocrite.
6. I can't stand to have dirty feet, yet I like to go barefoot. As soon as I'm in the house, I have to wash my feet before I can sit down and relax.
Here are the rules when you get tagged:
1. Link back to the person who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.
But guess what? I'm a big rule breaker! So I'll go ahead and do 1-3, but that's it.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Ha I totally relate to 1-3. I absolutely abhor any sound coming from someone's mouth when they eat. Though I myself am not a loud eater. I too am insanely ticklish. I am also obsessed with boobs. Don't understand it just am.
Yeah, up until last week, I would of said I wasn't a loud eater either! It's been a horrible, horrible revelation!
same for me, 1 and 3. you're too funny Nancy!
I was able to find your blog again recently and have been reading for a while. I was on webmd with you waaaaay back, we were pregnant at the same time (me with Cameron, you with Ella).
Oh man, when I was a kid I took an entire container of powdered salt and would pour some into my hand and eat it every night.
I love salt.
I used to eat salt plain like that, except for me it was a CF thing. Although I don't put salt on my food anymore I will sometimes get an irrational craving for pretzels and just lick the salt off of them.....
haha, yep...already knew about 3 and 4.
I've never had any girl say "Wow, you have really nice boobs!" and then continue to freak my husband out by eating straight salt. But it was an awesome time and that's why I love ya! hehe
Now I love salty foods, but straight salt...bleh. I admit when it comes to soup and cereal with milk, I slurp it loudly. It drives my family batshit crazy.
Lol, you're such a freak! If only you also had an addiction to Home Depot - then you'd REALLY be a true true freak;-)
I HATE HATE HATE loud eaters. So much that it makes me crazy-insane. I have had so many mealtime arguements and ruined dinners because of it!
the salt thing made me laugh..and im the SAME way about feet! i thought i was the only one. just out of curiousity, what is your song on your cell?
My cell ring is "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" by Ol' Dirty Bastard.
Seriously?? Definately not the song I pictured you having, not even that type of music! theres gotta be a story behind it haha! I thought you would have something more along the lines of some sort of rock, soft rock, punk..or 'something' along those lines- but def. not an ODB song
Oh - there's a big inside joke about it.
