7 Things About Kayeleen, the OCD version

1. I am a musical person. I sing a lot. I've even been in several choirs. I also play the piano, but never in front of people, if I can possibly help it. The perfectionist in me has issues with playing piano because it makes me nervous and I make mistakes.

2. I have to flip lightswitches to be the same direction. You know. If there are two switches on the same panel, they all need to be up or down. I'll walk back and forth around the house to do this.

3. I can't stand sticky floors. There is a weird fear in the back of my mind that I will stick to the floor and be unable to move. I have to mop for this reason. Not every day, but when I start to stick to the floor.

4. I am really glad to not have carpets in the majority of my house. Just like I can't handle sticky floors, I never knew what was in my carpet until we had wood floors. As soft as carpet is, I don't think I can ever go back.

5. If I have a pocket full of money, all the bills have to face the same direction. They also have to be in order from smallest bill to biggest. It bothers me to have a wad of bills in my wallet and not be able to just find the one I want.

6. My hair is short. It has been noticeably short for nearly 10 years. This is because I can't stand the way hair tickles the back of my neck as it grows.  Every once in a while, I think: "I'm going to grow my hair out." It drives me nuts before I can get it past my chin.

7. I'm extremely ticklish. Not like just touch my side and I shriek. It's worse. People can wave their fingers at me and I giggle uncontrollably. Even from across the room. My brother perfected this thing where he would look at me with a certain look and I knew he was thinking tickle. That set off my ticklish. If I'm fairly sure someone is thinking about tickling me, I'll start to laugh.

There you have it, all. Happy Wednesday and congrats to the new winners! I have recently discovered each of them and enjoy reading what they have to say. Go forth, friends. Meet new bloggers!
