When I go to the bathroom I always count (1, 2, 3…) and try to end my peeing on an even number. I have absolutely no idea why I enumerate while I urinate.
SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER, FEMALE, 52
Sometimes, I grocery shop by a letter of the alphabet and buy only items starting with that letter. I love a good C-shopping day: carrots, cauliflower, cat food, corn, coffee, chocolate chips, chops, chorizo. Occasionally I invite the kids across the street over for a P party: pizza, pineapple, pretzels, popsicles and punch.
WRITER, FEMALE, 57

Before reading The New York Times every morning, I iron the outside of each section to sterilize it and protect myself from germs.
ARTIST/SCULPTOR, FEMALE, 93

My socks have to be smiling when I put them in the drawer. When you roll up socks and flip one opening over the other, the little shape that’s formed at the end of the ball looks like a smile. It’s cheerful to open my drawer and see all the socks smiling!
INSTITUTIONAL TEXTILE SALES, MALE, 46

My Thoughts
The book seriously made me laugh at times, others it made me go “wait, that’s not weird…”  Then realize that perhaps I needed to admit my being crazy!  To those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, 😛  this is not a confession!  LOL  I really enjoyed reading it, it’s a perfect bathroom reader, or even just something to keep on the table for discussion topics and random distractions!  If you have a stressful job, where people annoy the heck out of you, you want to laugh at your spouse when their little quirks have seriously maxed out your tolerance limit, this book is for you!  The topics vary, she has two other books if this one doesn’t sound like the one for you:

•And I Thought I Was Crazy! Quirks, Idiosyncrasies & Meshugaas
•In a Cell Phone Minute

You can find out what Judy is working on, thinking about, or just spitting randomly out of her head on twitter here or go by her site and vote on some classic debates here!  Who knows, they may end up in her next book!
Also, if you’d like to win your own copy, along with a Kindle and other prizes, keep checking back, I have teamed up with some awesome bloggers and Mommy Bunch to offer a giveaway coming soon.  But, that’s a few days and imagine your boredom in between!  SO, hop over to Judy’s site and get your copy of one of Judy’s great books!
Judy Reiser interviewed thousands of people for her three acclaimed books:

Her books have received much media attention with reviews and excerpts in prestigious publications such as The New York Times Book Review, AARP Bulletin, Reader’s Digest, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan and many others as well as speaking engagements and appearances on hundreds of national and international radio and television shows.

Judy began collecting quirks when she divulged something crazy she does (she doesn’t remember which one it was—there are so many) and her friend shared something he does. After having a good laugh about it, she soon discovered that everyone has quirks. She has been observing, gathering, marveling at and laughing about quirks ever since. Her husband insists that had she written the quirk books as an autobiography, they would have been much longer!

I asked Judy about her next book, but she has yet to come up with her next book theme.  I can’t wait to know!  She admitted that she isn’t too shy to walk up to random people and ask them questions!  I love that about any person!  😀

Kaycee

Hi all! My name is Kaycee. I am now learning to navigate life as a single woman. Turns out, it's not all about husband and children. Who knew? So, I'm on a journey of self discovery. I have 5 children, 3 of which are married, 5 2 are in Heaven (my beautiful baby Acadia Reign and my Diva Princess Tara Elizabeth), and 7 grandchildren! Plus, a ton of fabulous nieces and nephews! My educational background is in Psychology and Child Development but my heart is in ministry, crafts, fun, reviews and my website, My Crafty Zoo. Or at least it was, now I'm learning who I really am, beneath all of the busy family life. It's an adventure to be sure. I look forward to continuing to share my life through word and pictures with you and love hearing your feedback! Thank you for taking the time to read and allowing me to share! I look forward to reading your comments!
