Wow, Liz, I’m getting less quirky by the minute! And I’m jealous of your nice long bath. And, as you know, jealousy is a very ugly thing. And so are you in anything backless!

I don’t think that relating every situation that life throws at us to the GG is a quirk at all. I think it’s perfectly natural. Like breathing. Or sticking your hand on a hot burner to see if it’s hot.

By the way, to close out my personal at-home retreat this weekend, I took a nice long bath last night. And I sat in more than an inch of water.

#1 brother-in-law said I should add my fear of bees to my list of quirks. Sorry if you think it’s quirky to run away from bees, but I’ve never been stung by one, and I’m afraid I’m allergic and I’ll go into shock or something. And I should’ve had Cheers on the list of shows I quote regularly.

I am the exact opposite as far as the pajama thing goes. I put on my pajamas the minute I get home from work. Same thing with my shoes: I kick them off the second I get in the door. I probably shouldn’t, because my floors? Well, they’re not the cleanest things around, but I can’t stand wearing my shoes all the time!

Sara, I think we have similar skill with the GG. That is all. I said coffee!

I hate wearing shoes. Can’t wait to take them off. Socks must be just so – no lines, not falling down, not crooked, not too hot. They don’t have to match, however.
And I dislike shoes in my house. And I hate outside shoes in the bathroom, anyone’s. I don’t want the outside on the bath mat after a shower, thanks.

I can clearly relate to your quirks. Some of them may just be family traits. We have some strange genetics in our family. Your cousin Noons has a similar shoe thing. Our whole family relates life to t.v. shows and movies too (they just differ based on our formative years). I am prone to list everything. And we are all a bit obsessed with food (reading about it, watching shows about it, and rarely making what we see on tv – except for noons). Have a great trip to Toronto. Take lots of photos!!!

Jive Turkey: Thanks for the add! That makes me more excited than you know (or than it should, maybe). I’ll have to check out that site later! (Right before or after I’m basking in the glow that is Barack Obama.)

Kristin: I know you don’t like the word meme. Me(me) either. And you probably had more things to do than sit around and watch TV to collect up all those references in your brain like I did all my life.

Miriam: Hey, hermana (see what I did there?)! You can bring more things back to The Girls than I can, I think. That actually shouldn’t be a quirk, it’s a skill. Others are just jealous of our knowledge.

Well, as you know, I have one of your same quirks. Everything, and I mean everything, can be brought back to THE GOLDEN GIRLS! And it is wonderful. I don;t think you’re quirky, by the way. You are just awesome, with interesting things about you.
