30 Days of Me Day # 4...A Habit I Wish I Didn't Have...

Wow..this is a loaded question...If you asked my hubby this about me he would probably say, "How about them Yankees?" lol....I have a few habits that I wish I didnt have...Read on Followers, Read on...

#1. I am a pimple POPPER...its gross, disgusting and horrible for dinner conversation, but it doesnt change the fact that I pop pimples...And sometimes get excited about it...And whats worse, is I dont just pop mine...I pop Maliks, I mentally pop other peoples and I think i will have to physically restrain myself from popping jadens when he hits his teenage years...This habit is so bad on my part, that I seriously consider from time to time becoming a dermatologist or estetician who only gives facials..I had a facial once at a spa (minds OUT of the gutter people) and she came up with such a lovely way to tell me she was going to pop some black heads on my nose...She was going to perform some "extractions" so now I call myself an "extraction specialist"...I know, I know..its nasty, it takes longer for them to heal, it can scar, it can spread other pimples...Preaching to the choir people...So I just do what I normally do when I cant control myself, blame it on Malik!



#2. When looking at any pictures, I flip or scroll through them very quickly, then I ALWAYS look at them at least another 2-4 times, SLOWLY...analyzing EVERYTHING about them..what the people are doing in the background, how my hair looks or clothes, my eyebrows, other peoples eyebrows...This has only recently developed in the last 6 years, which I fully believe has led to my inability to take ANY good pictures...I spend WAAAAaaaay too much time practicing smiles etc...So if you ever take a pic of me, I will probably make a silly face so that it doesnt get as much scrutiny as my normal smile! LOL



Flying by the Seat of my Pants!
#3. Probably my most serious habit is PROCRASTINATION...that explains why I am 28 yrs old, dont have a college degree, have no IDEA what I want to be when I grow up, why I have TWO cat litter boxes instead of one, why I always scramble for birthday gifts etc., why my digital camera still has pictures on it from months ago, and I never send out Christmas cards! But you know, I have come to understand, that maybe i am too negative...too down on myself...Maybe its not Procrastination, but rather i like to FLY BY THE SEAT of my PANTS!


I once read somewhere from those people that always say popped pimples scar, standing with your legs crossed minimizes your hips and thighs in pictures, and a marker board with a calendar on it will organize your life....that your 20's are about finding yourself...discovering who you really are and becoming comfortable with it...And now in my "middle age woman" years of 28, I am finding that its not necessarily becoming comfortable with yourself (I honestly wont think I will feel that way until I am able to wear a moo moo in public and eat whatever I want everyday) but more of NOT CARING what others think...This is me people...Raw and real...I am not embarrassed about it (and most women arent after a room full of men has watched a baby come out of your crotch) and I really dont think it will change...Just please, DONT tell Malik that! :>)

  1. Ha ha so true about the not caring part..it really does take being stripped of your dignity while having a child to realize it..haha

    As far as your pimple popping goes...in the words of Lainey "das, nassy!" I will cut you if you ever try to "extract" something from my face!

  2. LOL at everything. I am so on board with you on that procrastination train! I got first class never ending round trip tickets on that one. OMg I secretly love to pop my own pimples too..Not necessairly on otheres though ..but when I feel that sucker and squeeze it and it shoots out all its glory omg...it is so aweosme..actually i like black heads better the ones that squeeze out nassy stuff forever and ever and almost never end and or the ones that are all hard like a little ball and you mess with it so much that you can finally squeeze it out and its like a pasty mush.

    bahahah omg that is so nassy all that i wrote about pimples. I am sure you can realate..or you will think i am Nassier than you.

    LOL at Lainey and das, nassy! haha

  3. I think its been since high school but you are exactly as I remember, witty, well-written and have great hair! And I agree, it takes a lot more to embarrass me "after a room full of men has watched a baby come out of your crotch."

  4. Sooooo yeah, I am the worst procrastinator ever. Your description of that, is me to a T! And since you did, I will too...I also am a pimple popper...sad but true! I LOVE to pop Eric's pimples...it's so nasty, but I just can't help myself!! He will ask me to scratch his back, and I always somehow end up around his face popping pimples..lol So there it is...in all it's glory...we are both nasty people...lmao!

  6. Omg this is so funny. Malik and David could start a support group for Husbands that get attacked by pimple popping wives,lol. I don't know why but at night I lay there pretending to rub David's shoulders, when I'm actually looking for pimples. Then when I find one, he is usually half asleep and starts screaming when I start picking at it.
    I also totally agree about not caring about what ppl think about me or my body after kids. I am comfortable with the thought of wearing a spandex bodysuit to minimize the jiggle and fat rolls so I can feel guilt free to eat another tub of Chunky Monkey.
