So Kathy, would you say that you're a fussypants, or not? Lindsay?
I think I'm not. Yeah, there were a number of those things that I would have to agree with (fruit is rarely appealing to me anyhow, so bruises don't help matters) but for the most part I think I'm pretty easy going. The things I get fussy about are very silly though - cleaning with sponges is disgusting, I don't like the dishsoap on the counter, I can't handle kitchen counters covered in clutter...some of these things could change, however, as I continue bringing up a child.
i'm a weirdo. . i can totally be a fussypants for some stuff. . i don't know why? spelling for instance. . oh boy, do i notice that! Grammar, same deal. Punctuation, i'm slightly less concerned with but am conscious enough of that too. I guess i'm a fussypants with things that are important to me. Like Linds said, i don't like the wind blowing my hair into my face, but yeah, if its blowing it away from the face, it is nice! I HATE gritty sand between my toes, i'm almost pathological with that one. I also hate the dry dustiness of my feet and sandals after a lot of beach walking. . ooooh, i hate that! However if i was at a beach with babypowder sand, i think i'd be quite happy. Maybe its our Ontario sand i'm not too fond of?
i hear you about counter clutter and sponges. . i put my kitchen cleaning sponges in the dishwasher every other cycle, to sterilize them.
The restaurant thing. It reminds me of russian roulette. . sometimes you have no probs and you enjoy yourself, other times you have an upset GI tract. If i saw some of those kitchens i'd probably run?!!! In my kitchen i have 'dedicated boards'. . 1 board for raw meat only, 1 for veg and breads, etc., 1 other for fruit, chocolate and 1 for pastry rolling. This MUST be. Hand washing is huge and I wear a hair net when preparing food for company. I have my hair pinned back when cooking for the fam. I think that restaurants should be even more SCRUPULOUS with their habits and cleaning, but I suspect that not enough of them are! I prefer home cooking.
So ya see, i'm a selective fussypants. Some things get my knickers all in a twist, others i'm mellow and unconcerned with.
fussypants! its not such a bad thing, eh?
oh yeah, crumbs on the floor. .ick.
Well, I think I'm less of a fussypants than I would have thought... but definitely somewhat of a fussypants... but fussypants can be a very good thing... I think it helped me to prevent getting gastroenteritis when my hubby & son both had it!
yay for preventing that nastiness! you know, i think everyone is an f.p. about something or other!!!
Banana bruises used to gross me out, and they sometimes still do if I'm in a fussy mood, but I'll eat it if it's reasonable small. I love doggie kisses, unless said doggie has stank-breath! I prefer to prep my own food, but I don't go crazy over it...anymore. Never iron, often leave messes(lazy), my carpet is crap so I don't get too worried about spills, don't care if people wear shoes unless they're really dirty/wet. I do like the feeling of sand between my toes - I like letting go, and digging my toes in!
I like my routine though. And cheap chocolate? No way! I like making every calorie worth it!
i apparently am a bit fussy...........greta fun post kat
I hate it when the food(s) on my plate touch each other, AND I eat everything one at a time(one food genre at a time, meat, veg, so on...), my bills are always the right way in my wallet and I used an outhouse that was nailed to the floor and had NO toilet seat, all summer!!! But I will not use a port-o-potty unless its 100% necessary!
I'm a little fussy! =)
