Quirky

So my boss has a big bowl of plain M&Ms outside of her office. Mmmm, M&Ms. So I grab a big spoonful to eat at my desk and nearly everyone who passed by had something to say. I didn’t get the big deal.

You see, I have this thing. I separate my M&Ms by color and I eat them in order from my least favorite to my most favorite. I start with the brown. I have nothing against brown but they just stand out in a pile of brightly colored M&Ms. Then I go to Orange, then Yellow, then Green, then Red and then Blue. It’s just something I do.

I realize that they are M&M and not Skittles and they all taste the same. I do the same thing with Skittles though (starting with the Purple), it’s very hard to eat Skittles or M&Ms at the movie theater. I have to wait until a daylight scene so I can quickly pick out the same colors. It got to be a bit much so I don’t order them at the movies anymore.

Someone else talked about the time I was wasting. I’m not a preschooler trying to make sense of colors. It takes seconds, and a few seconds at that to separate my M&Ms.

I don’t do the same with meals. I don’t have to eat my peas separate from my mashed potatoes and all that but when it comes to candy, it’s just different. It’s a quirk.

Another quirk. I cannot go to sleep until all closet doors and dresser drawers are completely closed. My ex-BF used to leave one slightly open just because he knew I’d have to close it… What some people do for fun never ceases to amaze me.

The dog is quirky too. Joey spends half his day moving the food bowl around the floor. In the car, he doesn’t look out of the window when we’re driving. I’ve never seen a dog not look out the window while driving but he doesn’t.

Quirky dog. Quirky girl. What a pair!
