Stephanie's Quirks

My friend Mary tagged me and I am supposed to list 6 of my "quirks". So here they are:

1. I can't stand things to be left out. I have to have my house in order, even if it's late and I'm super tired, I will make sure everything is put away.
2. I can't go to even the grocery store without my hair and make-up on. My family will never let up on me about this, but I say... Get over it, you know how I am already!! :)
3. I have to have lines straight. If a blanket is out where I can see it, then I have to have it folded perfectly straight. Anything like that... Lines on the couch, and the pillows have to line up and sit perfect... I know I know!
4. I count things over and over... Like the granite tiles and lines around my fireplace, I count them everyday and the numbers have to end up on an even number. I count anything in squares basically. I know it's strange!
5. I (like Mary) can't stand to have drawers or cabinets left open, IT DRIVES ME NUTS. Even if it's just a little bit, they have to be shut all the way in every room.
6. Finally I am to the last one... I have to have the doors locked in my house all the time and the blinds are always closed. I'm not sure why, so don't ask. Yes I know and accept that I probably have some OCD issues... Hey at least I can admit it and you'll always have a clean place to sit!! :)

15 Years...

Well I can hardly believe it myself, but I have been with Nu Skin now for 15 years!! WOW!! I have so many great memories. In fact Nu Skin is where I have met SO many wonderful and great friends including my best friend Cher and also the love of my life who is now my husband, Taylor. I also met the love of my sisters life, who is now her husband, Shaun. For the last four years I have worked in Human Resources and I ABSOLUTELY love it!! I feel so lucky to work with such wonderful people everyday, they make work seem like something much better than just work. I know I have the worlds best boss, Denice Jones. There are so many wonderful things about her I don't know how to pick out my favorites! She has taught me SO much and allowed me to use my full potential. She has helped me to develop skills and knowledge that not only help me in my career, but in my life. Friday (Oct. 3rd) she planned a surprise party to celebrate my 15 year anniversary. It was a lot of fun and a total surprise. My department as well as some of my greatest friends from Nu Skin all came. We had chocolate brownies and ice cream with chocolate topping and as if that wasn't enough, Cher found the Air Supply greatest hits Karaoke!! Yes that's right!! So we had a blast, singing the 80's favorite love songs. Thank you to everyone, it was a perfect party!!! Here's to 15 more!!
