My Personal Policies

My friend Rachel tagged me for a meme. She posted yesterday about her personal policies and she is right - she's not the only one with personal rules she lives by. So here are my own:

1. Never use the same face towel twice in a row. Dry and clean makes a good start.
2. End every meal with something sweet. Even if it's only a peppermint.
3. Bare feet on a bare floor is gross...even if it's just socks, covering is a must.
4. Never sit on public toilets (this should be a given)
5. No one else should wear my shoes...
6. Things don't have to spotless, piles are OK, as long as I know where stuff is...but DON'T TOUCH MY PILES
7. A person should never drink the last of anything in someone else's fridge, especially mine.
8. Don't take anything out of my room, purse, car, etc. without asking. I'm a giving person but give me a chance to give it to you.
9. Wet floors after a shower are yucky...so I'm always first into the shower :)
10. I'm with Rachel...no sweaty men in bed :)
11. I don't kill bugs with my own shoes. I go get my husbands.
12. When I fill up my gas tank, I have to end on a price that is divisible by 5 (like $45.65).
13. I use the brain dump method for a "To Do List". I have a Master Task List that has EVERYTHING on it that I need to remember by "ASAP", "Week", "Month", "Quarter", & "Year". It just give me peace to know that everything is written down.
14. No eating fried chicken in the bedroom. My Starbucks and Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers are OK though :)
15. Eggs should crack evenly in half when I use them for cooking. If they don't...I feel like I'm a failed cook.
16. My pillow is my pillow....I don't like using others...
17. Always leave a message on voicemail...a beep followed by empty space is such a waste of time:)
18. My seat at church is my seat at church!
19. I refuse to wear makeup everyday (mostly church and special occasions). I had a friend that did and one day when she went without I asked her if she was sick. By following this policy, I can only look better not worse.
20. I like my feet to be warm. If you are a good friend of mine, you'll know b/c when we sit on the couch to talk, I reserve the right to stick my feet under your bottom. Bottoms do a good job of warming feet.

OK...I think I've done enough damage to my public reputation for one afternoon :) If anyone else wants to play along, please do! Be sure and let me know when you've posted your own rules so I won't feel alone in my principles.

I'll tag Leslie, Lindsey, Jana, and Wynter!
