It’s been months since I’ve written a Let’s Look post. And last week got sidetracked and busy, and I just struggled to find time to sit down and write. So, it’s a new week. New week, new me! If you’re new to these parts of the interwebs, this series is a little link up hosted by Shay and Erika to share a look into an aspect of our lives. And today’s topic is our worst habits.
I tend to be a pretty sensitive person. I over-analyze situations, tones of voice. I notice when small things have been moved from the position I put them in previously. I pick up on people’s idiosyncrasies pretty quickly. And all of those things that can sometimes be such wonderful traits, can also be a curse…so let’s settle in for a tour of some of my worst habits…
I overfill the trash can…regularly. In our house, Nathan takes out the kitchen trash. It’s one of those few things in life that I rarely do, even if it’s needed. I will wait for him to take it out. I should also probably wait to put more things into an overflowing trash can, but I don’t. I just keep filling it up. And then there are usually curse words and grumbles when Nathan comes home and takes it out.
I will keep my 5am alarm on even if I know I’m not going to get up and work out in the morning. To be fair, Nathan never turns off his 6:15 alarm even though I’ve never seen him wake up at this time.
I lose my phone multiple times a day, and have to ping it with my watch to figure out where I left in the house…or the garage…or the garden.
I never remember to have a snack on me at all times. I suffer from what many people call ‘hanger.’ It comes on suddenly, and like a tidal wave. One minute I’m fine, the next I will bit your head off over the most dumb thing and turn it into an argument.
And I still after all of this time of knowing that low blood sugar does this to me, I still forget to carry a granola bar on me at all times.
I have a chronic sniff from post-nasal drip that never seems to go away. Should I really have this looked at? Probably. I don’t even notice it anymore, except when I hear myself on videos. Like seriously, lady. Sniffing every couple of minutes.
I can not do painted nails. I will sit and pick at them until I completely take them all off. And then I don’t pick the nail polish off and throw it in the trash, I will leave it sitting on the coffee table for a week until I finally pick it up.
I will gladly help pick off your peeling skin from a sunburn. Nothing thrills me more than peeling off dead skin. I find it so completely satisfying.
I’m addicted to chapstick. I literally cannot live without having a chapstick in every room of the house, in every purse, and in my car. I need my lips to be coated with the original chapstick at all times.
This resonates deeply with me…
I’m sure there are others…let’s just not ask Nathan. 😆. I can’t wait to read through the links to see what others consider their worst habits!
Oh this was so fun to read! I do fine with nail polish until I have one chip in one nail then they must ALL come off and I will leave those flecks of polish everywhere. It’s awful.
I’m the same way. Exactly the same.
Omg! I love all of these! I clearly remember you mocking me when I had crackers in my bag in college , should have learned. I love seeing adult lauren still has some of the same qualities as college lauren
The worst part is that I’m pretty sure I’ve passed my hanger gene on to my children.
Ack, the alarm! I hate when I don’t have to get up early and my husband’s daily alarm goes off to wake me up, and he isn’t even getting up!!! I have to put together my list of bad habits.
I can never remember to check my alarm before I go to bed. 😬
