My Bad Habit - I Confess
So when I'm really stressed (and yep, I've been under A LOT OF STRESS) my dirty little habit rears its ugly head. I guess some people eat cartons of ice cream, and others might just drink away their stress (or try). Not me. I hurt myself. OK, not that dramatic. I pick at my cuticles.
Yes, since I was a kid I've done it. I pick at the skin around my thumbs, the cuticles. A rough hangnail? Dude, I'll pull at it. It's bad! I know! I know it's a bad habit! It's not cute! And? It could introduce infection. (Hey, at least I don't bite my fingernails, I find that to be more annoying. It has a SOUND, too. UGH!)
So that's my ugly confession. When I'm under deep stress, I pick at the cuticles around my thumbs. Sometimes until they bleed. I apologize.
Do you have any bad habits? Help a girl out, I don't want to be the only one exposed, here.

Man, now I really want to watch The Sound of Music.
@WaitingToShrug - HAHA! It's a great movie!
Psh... that confession probably applies to more people than not. I thought you were going to say you like to roll nickels around in your mouth or something. lol Me? I have no bad habits to speak of... although I'm quite sure my wife would beg to differe.
@MyxlDove - Oh, rolling nickels in my mouth is a BAD habit? Oops! I guess I should have a confession part II.
OUCH!!!! Noooooooo, bad habits, not me. *thinking* hmmmm, nope, I can't think of anything. Except my Curse!
@olwd - Love isn't a curse. Maybe a battlefield. But never a curse.
So you know what I'm referring to then? Or do you really? Yes, you can say "Love" but it is so much more than that.
@olwd - I know what you're talking about. I pay attention with all my senses when you talk. Might as well face it, you're addicted to *love.*
LOLOL, ooooooo hhhhh myyyy gossshhhhh, hubby says that exact same thing. He tells me I have a secret crush on Robert Palmer, but he is like what? 70 something now. LOL I'm like "eeewwwwww, no I don't!" My hubby is such a HOOT!!!
@olwd - Well, yeah, that's gross. But let's not think about old guys. Haha!
LOL, I know, I know. It usually ends up with young person sex, since we are both still young. Yea, he don't help much does he?
@olwd - No. Images of elderly Robert Palmer does not enhance the mood. Ever. LOL!
stop saying that!!!!!! lol
eeeewwwwwwwww
oH MY BRUNETTE
@olwd - HAHAHA!!! LOL. Oh boy... My daughter is asking why I'm laughing.
There are obvious reasons why I'm addicted . . .Brunettes are certainly one reason.
LOL, Oh just because someone said something funny, of course who said what mommy is bound to come out of her mouth .
@olwd - I was trying to find a disgusting picture of old Bob Palmer. And this popped up instead. That'll do.
lol, BIG DIFFERENCE SWEETHEART!!!
@olwd - Yeah. I opted for a lift up. Yay!!
CHHHAAAAA, Major lift up!!!
I'm nosy. When someone implies that I know them, I get curious and try to figure out who they are. Terrible habit, though, thankfully, it's not given much chance to flare up. *shrug*
There's something about being a passenger in a car that suddenly makes me very aware of every hangnail and rough edge on my nails. I guess it's the lack of things to do and focus on that suddenly draws my attention to it. I now permanently keep a nail clippers in my fiance`'s car for just that purpose; to keep me from being antsy and picking at them.
