Meet the Maker: Quirks Edition

Social Media can be so…curated. I fancy myself to be a pretty transparent person so in this edition of Meet the Maker I thought it would be fun to share some of my quirks and/or unpopular opinions. I solicited my family for suggestions. Here they are, in no particular order:

~ “You only eat eggs for breakfast.” I’d edit this to say that I eat an egg almost every day for breakfast. But sometimes I add a bagel. And very occasionally I will eat overnight oats. Recently when traveling I’ve started to make breakfast sandwiches at home and bring them along on my trip so that I can still enjoy my eggs away from home. I’m also cheap, er, thrifty.

~ “You wished we never mowed lawns.” I’d edit this to say that I wish we never chemically treated our lawns and I wish that people who maintain acres of grass would instead use it to grow food or habitat. Dandelions and clover are essential plants in our ecosystem! If you love to eat you also need to love the pollinators! (Steps off soapbox)

~ Here’s a quirk: I have 2 baby teeth. They’re doing just fine, thanks for asking.

~ I’m afraid of automatic car washes. I tried to use one once and it malfunctioned. I tried to back out of it and I heard this BANG that I thought was caused by those spiky things that deflate your tires. It was traumatic and I never went back. I also find that the rain suffices to wash my car.

~ “You don’t like chocolate in your chocolate chip cookies.” That’s kind of true. 2-3 chocolate chips per cookie is plenty.
