1. I always keep my bedroom clock at least 30 minutes fast. I find the later it says it is, the easier for me to trick my head/body into believing it.
2. I'm very pick about my cd's and dvd's. They all have to be put back in their cases, titles facing correctly so their readable.
3. I collect magnets of Orlando's movies and still need Haven and the last two Pirate movies for the collection to be complete.
4. I love my daily calendars and can't function without them. Unfortunately, this year, there weren't any LotR or PotC ones to be found and I had to settle for something else so I'm just really bummed.
5. My biggest pet peeve is someone running off with my ink pen.
6. I refuse to come in after a movie has started (if I haven't seen it) and watch it. SO not happening!
7. I sleep with a fan on and 2 tissues under my pillow because of my allergies
Okay, tagging....
And in case anyone wonders where I've been--that nasty stomach flu nailed me. Twice. Sheesh!
