Is another person’s normalcy. 
I got tagged by Rene on the Six Weird Things About Me meme. So, here goes…
1. My fiction books have to be shelved alphabetically by first name, then by publication date. 
Unless it’s a series that was written out of order. Those have to be shelved in story order.
2. I’ve moved back and forth from state to state fifteen times (that’s not counting moves in-state before moving to another state). And neither I nor my parents were ever in the military.
3. I collect salt & pepper shakers. I’ve got boring shakers, but also fun shakers from the 50s that look like flamingos and some that look like soda bottles (I think those are from the 50s or 60s).
4. I love all things Zorro. 
I’ve got Zorro books, Zorro movies, Zorro TV shows. I’ve even got a poster from the Duncan Regher TV version.
5. I love to watch Justice League on Cartoon Network.
6. I watch a lot of decorating and do-it-yourself shows on HGTV even though I have no desire to do any home repair projects. 
Though I do want to do a better job at decorating.
I think everybody’s probably done this by now, so I won’t tag anybody, but if you’re feeling left out, feel free.
And here’s a fun quiz for today:
| Your Quirk Factor: 70% |
 You’re so quirky, it’s hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal. No doubt about it, there’s little about you that’s “normal” or “average.” |
Y’know, they say that like it’s a BAD thing. 
Okay, it’s Monday. Another fresh week is ahead of me. Time to get back in the writing groove. Or even in the thinking about writing groove. I’m not picky. Well, not too picky, anyway.
Dad installed an additional shelf in one of my closets this morning. Now I’ve got to figure out what to put where. It’s not a convenient shelf, so I think stuff I won’t need very often will have to go up there. The trick is deciding what falls into that category. Of course, we still have a lot of stuff in the storage unit we rented, so I may well have stuff there that needs to go on that shelf. I’ll be glad when we’ve got everything here at the house so I can see just what I’ve got left to organize.
My quirk factor: 34%
You have a few little quirks, but you generally blend in well with society.
Only those who know you well know how weird you can be.
That’s pretty close.
I hated having to figure out what I would need in 6 months when I was packing things up to make room for the SIL. Turns out I was only 90% accurate.

Okay, my books are not shelved alphabetical but bunched together by author.

I need a system for my books, after my husband builds some shelves for me! I never knew that about the salt and pepper shakers. Very cool!

Wow! I love the idea of it being alphatetized and by publication date! Will have to try that!

Sandy, it makes series especially easy to read in order that way. It also makes everything easy to find which is a plus when you have as many books as I do.
