Scrubbing, Pills and Love Songs


Okay so a few posts ago I was "tagged" and reported to you, the reader, some of my quirks. Well I am in the middle of one of my quirks right now and thought I would follow up on my blog with a post. It's about 1 in the morning. I have work tomorrow. Why am I not going to bed you ask? Well I had to scrub my kitchen floor, clean out and scrub my fridge, wash all my dishes, take out my garbage...and I want to do more. Nightime cleaning frenzies for no reason whatsoever are one of my quirks. They don't happen a lot...but I blame them on my mother. She would do this. OMG- I am becoming my mother. Okay not really...just this one thing. Also sometimes to clean thoroughly you have to make a bigger mess than you started with. I am in the middle of that right now. Everything is out of place so that I could clean where it normally lives. I think I am going to have to finish the kitchen tomorrow. I just want wipe out all the cupboards tonight. So I guess tomorrow will be bathroom cupboards, then onto the closets and under the bed....and finally the files!

A few other quirks I didn't post about just for fun:

1) I hate swallowing pills. If you ever see me taking tylenol or something you know that I must be in real pain because I HATE SWALLOWING PILLS. I even still buy children's chewable vitamins. That's right. Call me a baby.
2) From grades 5-12 I fell asleep every night to the soft rock station- because it was nighttime it was a program called "Love Songs After Dark". I got to know a lot of the cheesy love song classics quite well because of it (Lady in Red, anyone?) Sometimes I still have to fall asleep to music- and I won't lie, there is a soft spot in my heart for cheesey love songs.

I think I will have to put on some tonight to get to sleep.

I am a cleaning fanatic also - although not so much late nights anymore. I have an obsession with cleaning products and trying new ones out!

Oh and your music confession - reminded me of the cd you would put on every night before bed freshman year. And the continuous playing of the City of Angels soundtrack (to the point that I still can't listen to those songs!!) ha ha
