1. I cannot stand it when people don't have their socks on right. Cannot stand it. If one is twisted or if they're not pulled up all the way, it drives me crazy. It's been a rough go for me having a toddler who likes to do things by himself...
2. I can't handle having only one hand wet. If this happens (which it does a lot for some reason) I have to get the other hand wet before I grab the towel.3. I look forward to peeling the protective cover off of new electronics.
4. The word 'pet peeve' is my pet peeve.
5. I'm not a grammar perfectionist at all, but a few things drive me crazy - the main one being the misuse of to/too.
6. Remember that game MASH? I had a crush on someone with the initials MD and used to put that down for someone I'd marry. It's a different MD, but that game was right! : )
7. My grandpa took me bungee jumping as a high school graduation gift. We went to Canada so we could jump from a 150' high bridge! There was an option to dip your head in the river. I passed on that - I figured that's how I'd know if I was dead. My crazy grandpa chose to dip.
8. I'm an only child. I never wanted a brother or sister (although I always wished I was a twin).
9. I got married on a Tuesday. We planned our wedding in 3 weeks.
10. The only future child I ever named was Mason. I named him in high school. I also hoped for two boys. : )
Such random things came to mind while making this list. Funny.

We are too much alike - kinda scary! I am the same way about the wet hand, I cannot stand to have just one wet. I have a sock issue too (although not the same one), I CANNOT STAND to have only one sock on...not that its something that happens often, but I just cannot stand it, I feel so "off"! Anyway, fun reading!
I had a grad school prof who would basically only read papers looking for mistakes like to/too or your/you're. It drove me nuts - she never graded for content! You either used grammar correctly and got 100% or didn't and got 60%.
Also, I had no idea you were an only child - it's nice to hear positive things :). You'd be surprised (and annoyed, I hope) at how much flack we've gotten for deciding to only have one child. We were at a party last year where an older woman who also had an only child went ON and ON about what a disservice we were doing. I hope she was drunk - at least it would give her an excuse to be so rude!
When I was in grade school... I always said I was going to name my daughter, Lori. And when you were born..that was the first name your dad and I agreed on!... otherwise you would have been, Sadie Hope! PS:We didn't totally decide until you born.
Love you, Sadie... I mean, Lori!

I think everyone has one grammar misuse annoyance, that is completely normal. I like your list, saw it on Katie's blog too. It must be my turn, but I'm not that interesting!
Yes, AMY, it is your turn! It's fun to get know other's;) Lori, I loved your list. I feel like I already know you, but just learned so much more! I loved that you named Mason:) So cute and the sock thing, I can relate to! I love your grandpa and I don't even know him! It was super cool that you were married on a Tuesday and I am proud to say I was there:) Thanks for having fun with this!
