It seems I have an ongoing problem with blogging on a regular basis. Soooo I'm setting an alarm on my phone to remind me. Here's to hoping that it will help me become more regular. Only time will tell.
#6 I have a lot of nervous energy all the time...which leads to bad habits
It's not that I'm necessarily nervous...just I can't seem to stop moving. Even when I'm supposed to be still. There's the typical shaking of the foot or leg when I'm sitting and watching tv, but the two bad habits I've GOT to drop (which I'm not sure will ever happen) are picking at my nails, which my husband Jason loathes, and pulling my eyelashes out. Wow, that last one sounds really awful. It's not painful, but for some reason I'll find myself rubbing my eyes and then poof...there I am pulling out eyelashes. Geez, I'm weird. See...just in putting it in writing makes me want to stop more than ever. It's not fun to share the not so pretty parts of yourself. Like I said though, I'm doing this series not just for you, but for me. I think it's going to help me better myself.
Maybe owning this about myself is admitting that I need to be still. "Be still and know that I am God" -Psalm 46:10 or "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him" - Psalm 37:7 Or maybe I need to be less anxious "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God" - Philippians 4:6 or "Do not be anxious about your life" - Matthew 6:25 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble" - Matthew 6:34
Hmmm...
#7 Stupid things annoy me.
Let's be honest, we are all annoyed at stupid things. And why??? Because they are stupid! They are senseless. They neither add or subtract from the quality of life, and therefore shouldn't bother me, but they just do, darn it. Want me to name a few specific ones? Ok. I will :)
Girls who swing their ponytail when they walk....annoying...really? really? just ugh.
Drivers who leave their blinker on...annoying...can't you hear it? or are you deaf and annoying?
When people sing the wrong words to a song when they really know the correct ones...annoying
When I can't remember why I walked into a room...annoying...am I really getting that old???
Unwarranted rudeness...annoying...grow up and get some manners people
Repeating myself...annoying...please don't make me say it again
When the water doesn't get hot when you're washing your hands...annoying...hello, germs.
There's more...lots more. Maybe even enough for another series, "Things That Annoy Me," anyone? It could be a group effort. We could all find out how not to get on one another's nerves. :)
#8 I am a germaphobe
Goes with the OCD maybe? Prolly. I don't like to share my drinks with other people, even my husband. Yes, I know, I kiss my husband "same thing, right?" No, I don't care if you think that's weird, it's not the same. The thought of sharing a toothbrush with anyone is disturbing. Whenever I have to enter a number into a keypad (gas station, credit card machine, atm) I use my knuckle instead of my finger. When I use a public restroom I only touch things with my elbows or feet...that includes opening doors, locking and unlocking doors, flushing toilets (feet!), turning on and off faucets, etc. There is no such thing as the "five second rule" for food falling on floors. The only thing that helps me with my germaphobia? Cleaning. Glorious cleaning. I love cleaning.
#9 A few of my favorite things
Random favorite things for me...aside from the obvious things such as family, friends, dancing, stars, music, some others include: all things disney (especially figment, ariel, aurora, tinkerbell, daisy duck), any bubble bath, reading the dictionary, kit kat bars and york peppermint patties, salted caramel mocha from starbucks, knitting and sewing, being woken up by someone (in a nice way of course), having freckles and curly hair, problems that make you think of an alternative solution, playing road trip games, quoting movies, the fourth of july and easter, red wine, stargazer lilies, peppermint, not being the person to break a hug, anchors, roller coasters...I could keep going, but again...maybe this is another idea for another series. Let's not get carried away though. Let's just see if I can stick with continuing the series' that I already have going.
