A Girl’s Gotta Have Quirks!

Ok so, my good friend Lindsey tagged me after a post on her blog Anchored, and now you guys get to learn a little more about me, and my quirks. First what is a quirk?

quirk

 [kwurk] 
noun
1.  a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality;mannerism: He is full of strange quirks. 
Now what are my quirks?



The teapot I got in Ireland 🙂



I LOVE tea. Believe it or not but my first phrase after mom and dad was “hot tea”. This could be a byproduct of the fact that I spent a lot of time with my grandmother, who drinks a lot of tea. This could also be where I get my habit of collects unique and antique tea pots, and sets from. I almost always have at least 10 varieties, and EVERYONE who knows me knows I think a cup of tea fixes nearly anything.
I am fascinated by the sky. Growing up I covered my bedroom with stars, moons, suns and clouds. Every time I go through pictures I always find a couple pictures of the clouds, apparently I thought they looked cool at the time. I will make Chuck pull the car over so that I can take pictures of the setting sun, no matter where we are. I find nothing more peaceful than staring at the stars at night.

I am not good at sitting still. I can’t even just sit and watch TV for more than an hour, unless I’m deathly ill, so I make jewelry or craft while watching TV. I have even been known to read while watching TV, unbelievable I know but I’m telling you it can be done. Even when I am enthralled in a book I tend to squirm and react to whatever’s happening in the book. I just can’t sit still.

I cannot make plans more than a week in advance. I’m trying to change this one, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Making plans too far ahead of time actually cause me stress. I’m constantly afraid of overbooking, or changing my mind, it’s ridiculous I know, but hey that’s me!
I listen to the most ridiculous music. Most people pin me for an pop type person, and though I do like some of it I still have a wide range of strange states. My list of favorites includes: Joss Stone, Michael Buble, Staind, Atreyu, Little Big Town, Bullet for my Valentine, The Band Perry, Kenny Chesney, Erykah Badu, Josh Turner, From Autumn to Ashes, Eric Church, As I Lay Dying, Darius Rucker, Hoody & the blow fish, Rihanna, Anberlin, Tegan & Sara. Do I really need to go on? 

Now What are some of your quirks?

Apple Picking Season

Apple picking has always been a big deal to me. I make a conscience effort to go every single year. It is something I look forward to each year. I mean really what’s better than picking your own food?
Maybe it’s because I am from the “Big Apple” state but seriously the apple is an integral part of my diet. I don’t think I can go a week without having an apple or apple product. There are a million and one recipes with apples in them, and I am sure over time that I will post each and every one of them.
I STRONGLY suggest that each and every one of you goes apple picking. Don’t wait the season may be over sooner than you think! This years crazt weather has been hard on the apple crop.

 

Don’t Know Where to go? Try Apple Country! It has a list of places you can pick apples, or get apple products in the Big Apple State.
The great thing about this website is that it not only has places to go for apple picking, but lists of apple related events, recipes, type descriptions, and so, so much more. It’s really handy this time of year.
Not in NY? PickYourOwn.org has lists of farms all over the US, and Countries all over the world.

This website also has tons of information on canning and recipes. I’m just learning about canning and testing it out myself. This site has been a huge help.
If you have any favorite apple recipes or stories please leave a comment or send an email. I would love to hear from you!

This Picture

This picture.
My roommate took it.
We were on a trip adventuring up the Maine coast. I don’t remember her taking it; I just stumbled across it after the trip. I’m pretty sure it was in Acadia National Park.
It was the summer before my last semester at school; the summer before Chuck and I started officially dating.
I was single. I had no bills. I had no job. I had no responsibilities.
We camped, slept in the car, hiked, rock climbed, ate and adventured.
I miss the simplicity.
