5 Habits

I was tagged by Carnacki.

I was also tagged by Lori a while back and I am ashamed to say that I never completed the MeMe. I’m sorry. My brain couldn’t think of those many things all at once especially when I was thinking about all the money I had to part with for Christmas gifts. I’m selfish that way. Well, not selfish; I just like to watch it build up in the savings and hope it reaches a billion someday. Anyway……

1. I suck my thumb. You see the “Doing At The Moment” on my left sidebar? That pretty much sums it up for most of the day. I don’t care who sees and I don’t care who comments about it. You don’t like it, don’t look at me. I will suck my thumb anytime and anywhere including sitting in the chair at Old Navy waiting for Bello to come out of the dressing room with the jeans he’s trying on. I suck, therefore I am. On my thumb.

2. When I take a bath, I couldn’t take one for half an hour if my life depended on it. Add another one or two to that half and you get my length of time in the bathtub – 1-2 ½ hours. I like to read in the bathtub and I have been known to fall asleep. Please don’t comment on the latter if you love me. I won’t listen to you, and there’s no chance of me drowning, considering my family cannot leave me a lone while in the tub for more than thirty seconds at a time. Okay, so that’s an exaggeration but I’m sure you get my point.

3. I am a procrastinator. And I am very good at it too. I like to procrastinate on stuff like waiting until I can smell the fumes in my car to fill it up. Waiting until the last minute before I roll out of bed to get ready for work. Waiting for the last minute to pack for a trip. I let the bills pile up for months before filing them. Don’t get that confused with paying them. I am never late on my bills, which I can say I don’t procrastinate on. I procrastinate on housecleaning. I procrastinate on grocery shopping. There’s one thing I don’t procrastinate on and that’s my schoolwork.

4. I sleep too much. If I am not physically moving or reading, I am sleeping. Reading a good book will keep me a wake. I could sleep for twelve hours, come out of the room, onto the couch, start watching a great movie and within minutes I am knocked out. Not for a short period of time either; I will sleep another two hours if Bello doesn’t wake me up. As a matter of fact, if Bello and Belle were to disappear for a weekend, I guarantee you I would sleep the entire two days.

5. I have to be warm at all times. I have a habit of blasting the heater at work and at home. I can’t stand the slightest little coolness. I can tolerate it for a few minutes but then I freeze so bad that it takes me a long time to get the chill out of my bones. My average body temperature is 99.1. Always has been and always will. Occasionally my body temp will lower itself to the norm but most of the time, it is at 99.1. Bello complains that it’s sometimes difficult to cuddle with me because I produce such massive amounts of body heat that he starts to sweat. I use to be underweight and even then, I was able to produce heat and fog up people’s car windows.
