I've Been Tagged!
There is a fun game of blog tag going on. When you get tagged, you have to post your five weirdest habits on your blog and then tag five other people. I've been tagged by Cosmic Debris and Mountain Cerridwen, two blog friends of mine.
My Five Weird Habits
1. I won't sign my name with a red pen. Ever. Someone told me once that there is a superstition that says it's bad luck to sign your name in red pen - I think this was in some Eastern European country but I can't remember - and it stuck with me. If anyone hands me a red pen to sign a credit card slip or something else, I ask them for another one.
2. I drink hot coffee with a straw. I picked this up from a friend of mine in San Francisco. She said she picked it up from a friend of hers in Seattle. I think it's a West Coast thing. But it sure keeps ill-fitting sippy lids from dribbling coffee down your front.
3. When I'm performing my morning ablutions, I have to do everything in the exact same order every day. If something happens to interrupt my routine, I get all discombobulated and forget to do something important.
4. I love to wear Petit Bateau t-shirts. I have an entire drawer full of them in many different colors and styles. Really. One whole drawer full of French children's t-shirts. (And no, I did not steal them from any French children!)
5. I talk in my sleep and have very vivid dreams - sometimes at the same time. One night when I was living in San Francisco and my boyfriend at the time was sleeping over, I woke him up in the middle of the night to tell him to get the pigeon out of the bedroom. I had been dreaming that a pigeon came in through the window and was hopping around on the floor.

Yes, I think the coffee through a straw is a Northwest thing. I lived in Oregon for a few years and when I ordered coffee (hot or cold) I was always asked if I'd like a straw. I haven't been asked this when I order hot coffee in California. I also here it is suppose to cut down on the discoloring of your teeth by less coffee actually passing over them.
