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?

Highlights of Christmas 2005

• receiving a Christmas card from a colleague in London with a photo of his beautiful blue-eyed baby boy!
• a surprise card from a friend who moved to China 2 years ago with news that she'll be in town for a visit sometime this summer!
• finding out that not one, two or three, but FOUR PEOPLE I know have gotten engaged!! (and not to each other).
• seeing several of my brothers (and one sister-in-law) wearing clothes I gave them on Christmas Day.
• quote of the day from my 2 1/2-year-old niece, "I forgot to grow up." Geez! Can I borrow that?
• watching the Bears thump the Packers to win the division and a playoff bye. Go Bears!
• curling up on the sofa in front of my Christmas tree in my new Christmas-themed flannel jammies for a cup of green tea and cookies (thanks Mom!)
• sleeping in on Monday!!
