Pretty sure I've been tagged a million times

But I can't remember who tagged me or what it was. But I think I was tagged the 6 quirky facts about 4 times, so here ya go. Sorry if I didn't do your tag.

1. I hate flat sheets. I never have slept with the top sheet on, just the fitted sheet and my comforter. When we got married Derrick thought it was weird so we used both sheets, but not for long because they just drive me crazy. They always end up bunched up and just annoying. So now we just sleep with the comforter on top.

2. I gag a lot. My dentist once called me her "gagger." Of all her patients, or maybe it was just my family, I am the gagger. Smells bug me! I still have a really hard time changing Hayden's diaper. It's the only thing that has made me throw up this pregnancy. If we forgot to wash out one of Hayden's sippy cups that had milk in it, then Derrick has to wash it. Derrick also washes the dishes of the old leftovers that we forgot about, so I don't have to smell it and gag. He's so nice.

Soggy things also make me gag. Especially bread, but I also don't like to dip cookies in milk because if they are even slightly soggy I think it's disgusting.

3. I'm kind of OCD sometimes. I count things. Tiles, polkadots, stripes on my sheets, telephone poles... stuff like that. Then I have to find which one is in the middle.

4. I shower in REALLY hot water. Derrick says it's scalding. I just keep turning it hotter, and once I get used to the heat I turn it hotter. I just love hot!

5. I am really weird about organization. Sometimes I can be a slob. My dirty clothes usually end up on the floor, and when I fold clothes (if I do) then they usually just stay in the basket. I don't like to put them away, so we just get them out of the basket! But then I go through these phases that I have to clean and clean and nothing can be in the wrong spot (that includes the clothes). I also make ton of lists, but I just stick them in the pile of papers on my desk and forget about them. So sometimes I can be really organized, but it's still a little sloppy.

6. Maybe this isn't so much a quirk, but a funny difference between me and Derrick. When I rinse dishes and there isn't room in the dishwasher, I put them in the right side of the sink. Derrick puts them on top of the counter (but he does this even if the dishwasher is empty haha). This drives me crazy because I hate having stuff cluttered on the counter. It drives him crazy because he thinks they get gross when they are in the sink. I think I won though, because he said he would start putting them in the sink last night. :)

ooh I thought of another funny one.

7. I talk to myself. Once I ran our rent check in to our manager's office, and Derrick waited in the car for me. When I got back he said, "You must have a lot on your mind. It was funny to watch you talk to yourself." HAHA I hadn't even realized I had been doing it, but I do it a lot. If I have a lot on my mind I talk about what I need to be doing, or if I need to talk to someone I think about what I will say to them, and I guess I move my mouth when I do it. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this one... Although I doubt it because it took Derrick three years of marriage to notice it.

So I hope you were all entertained. Please don't think I'm crazy now. I tag: Delia (I'm excited to see if you have any hehe), Liz, Mom, Julia, Isaac and Debbie, and Jessica (Church).
