Several Reasons Why I'm Not Perfect

I actually started thinking of this list while I was in the shower the other morning. There are so many reasons as to why I'm not perfect, but these were the first to come to mind.

1) Every time I order a hot tea from Pannera or Cup of Joe, I always burn my tongue. I get so excited and it smells so good that I can never resist the temptation in taking that first glorious sip. Then I'm unable to really taste the rest of the tea because my tongue is numb for like 3 days afterward. (I am much the same when eating soup...one would think I would learn).

2) I'm notorious for leaving said tea bag (or any other tea bag) in the cup after I'm finished. This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't already take it to the sink, so it gets all soggy and gross. This for some reason, drives Andrew up the wall. (oops:).

3) Speaking of driving Andrew up the wall, I am also bad for leaving only a few cheez its left in the box (literally...maybe 4-5 of those small, scrumptious bite-sized crackers), therefore fooling him when grabbing for the box, that there is indeed a snack awaiting him. Hey, I get full and at times am unable to finish the last of the box. No need in wasting them right?

4) Whenever I leave the house, I have to turn the door handle an even number of times to make sure I locked the door. I have been known to get all the way to my car and have to turn back because I couldn't remember if I had done this or not.

5) If I stand in front of a mirror too long, I somehow see myself 10 pounds heavier than the five minutes before. I don't know how this is possible, but it happens all of the time and it's really no good for my self-esteem.

6) Secretly, I wouldn't be upset if a couple of my exes happened to kick the bucket. (I'm totally kidding!...or am I? Muuhahaha)

7) I have a bad habit of laughing at the wrong time. (For example, if someone falls in front of me or trips or runs into something, ect ect ect.) But in my defense, I am not the most graceful person in the world. I laugh at myself when these things happen to me as well.

8) When I was little and didn't want to go to school, I would chew up saltine crackers and spit them in the toilet. Then I would leave them there and go get my mom to show her that I had thrown up, therefore declaring myself a day off from the rigorous tasks of a second grader. (You think she would have caught on considering she was a nurse.)

9) I once hit my brother really hard in the head with a cabbage patch kid. Now, I know what you're thinking , cabbage patch kids are soft and smooshy...but their heads aren't:). Think about it.

10) I cry more when an animal dies in a movie than when a person dies. I'm not sure what that really says about me.


To be continued I'm sure.....
