IDIOSYNCRACIES

1. When I eat corn on the cob, I have to eat it three or four rows at a time, from left to right, and eat a nice straight line. Then I go on to the next 3 or 4 rows, and eat across. I cannot leave the cob with corn on it, it has to be neatly eaten off. And it has to have butter and salt on it.  2. Guarenteed, I can walk into a shop and zero in on the most expensive piece in there, and become passionately obsessed about owning it. Without fail. 3. I can't stand wind in my face, or people breathing close to my face. 4. I talk through all my problems with myself in the shower or on the toilet. I am a very good therapist, if only I would listen to myself. 5. If I'm concentrating hard to write something by hand, or work out a detail at work, I hide myself behind my hair and hold my head with my hand.

Woha. I thought I was the only one with the neat corn eating thing. Do you leave anything left on your chicken thigh? 'cause I don't.

I can relate to the "most expensive piece in the shop" comment...every time, shop full of $60- $80 hats, I finally find one I like...$250, Flash groans..."how do you DO that!?"

hi alison! just wanted to let you know that lollipop lu arrived safe and sound, though a tad sick to her stomach from candy eating. she does have a lot of willpower though, because i ended up with several fun candies too! i also love the stationary and the tea! (haven't tried the tea yet, but the bag is very cool!) i will be posting some pics of lolli with her new friends on thursday. she is much more adorable in person. thank you so much, and a little package will be headed your way soon. have a good week!

I'm a little late with this comment, but just had to say ... No. 1, the corn thing ... me too. Exactly.

Phew, glad to know others are as precise with their corn on the cob habits.
