Five weird habits

I was tagged by Violet for my five of my weird habits, so here goes!

1. No one can help me put up my Christmas tree because it has to be JUST SO. The lights have to be specialty lights, no plain bulbs for me. (It's my father's tradition). The ornaments have to be hung so they have room to swing from the branch. If any ornaments are too big and end up jammed against a branch, they are moved to another location or I shorten the hook so they can swing.
2. I never leave the house without at least SOME makeup. Okay, there is one caveat. I often go without makeup in Australia but only after I've gotten a good tan.
3. For the past five years, I've collected the Cubs schedule magnets, put them on my refrigerator and then kept track of the team's wins and losses, even circling the games I've attended in person.
4. I always make my grilled cheese sandwiches with a bit of oregano on the cheese. I learned this when I was a child as my mom used to make them like this. Of course, now she denies ever making grilled cheese sandwiches like this.
5. I collect matchbooks, but only of places I have actually been! (so don't try to send me some of yours!). Thing is, I don't smoke and rarely light candles so they're sitting in jars in my kitchen cabinet. Is this weird?
