The Quirks

Today I'm inspired by a blog I read by artist Kelly Rae Roberts,  who is a guru and guide for creative souls like herself.  She offers an e-course and e-book about creativity and how to make a living as an artist.  The images on this blog are some of her sweet and colorful work.

In her About section, she has a list called "The Quirks": a slew of little-known facts about her.  It got me to thinking how I always love reading these lists about people, because it's what makes us unique, and hearing them really makes you feel as if you know a person.  So I thought go out on a limb and try one of my own...

The Quirks

• I like bagels with vegetable cream cheese and lettuce.  Yes, lettuce.  Preferably the curly kind.

• I would like to wear a uniform every day, if it didn't mean people would think I am certifiable.  A whole closet of the same shirt and jeans sounds like heaven to me.

• My recent self-imposed nickname is Get Outta My Rae.

• I never wear solid socks: polka dots, stripes, the louder the better.

• I am very shy.  The best I can do is be an introvert pretending to be an extrovert.

• I like to drink coffee in the shower.

• I can see most people's "colors". Weird, but true.

• I much prefer writing in pencil.

• I would eat sandwiches for every meal.

• I have a tattoo.  That's all I'll say about that.

• If I don't make something with my hands every day, I get really cranky.  Just ask my husband.

• I call my old red bike "My Trusty Steed".

• Just putting my hands in clay calms me down.

OK, now, I want to know...what are YOUR quirks?  You don't have to tell me, (though I'd LOVE it if you did,) but just making a mental list for yourself is guaranteed to make you smile!
