I know you are all waiting with bated breath for my weird things list....
1. When eating, I always eat the least flavorable part before I sink into the gooey or cheesy middle. It makes me eat more than I normally would, because once I get to the good part, I can't stop till it's all gone. When doing some task such as vacuuming, I do all the edges first, then finish up in the middle.
2. Due to nerves, I chew the inside of my mouth and pick at my cuticles and nails. My hands are constantly busy with that, and I believe it is because I inherited it from my maternal grandfather. I never saw him when his hands weren't twitching.
3. I fear driving in unfamiliar places, and in heavy traffic. I can do ok in Little Rock when I stay on a familiar path. Otherwise, I'm sick by the time I get where I'm going and can't enjoy myself for worrying about the trip back.
4. I'm so night blind, that I can't see the highway markings, especially when the roads are wet.
5. I'm terrible with small talk. Very uncomfortable if there is not a specific subject to discuss in a social setting.
6. I refuse to leave the house without at least concealer and mascara. I don't usually allow my photo taken unless I have on lipstick. (It's called vanity)
7. I am so unused to visiting guests, that I don't have a clue what to do or how to act. I can't relax for feeling that I must keep them entertained.
8. My time away from work/at home is so precious to me, that on the weekend, I constantly check the clock to see how much I have left before the weekend is over and the work week begins again.
I don't like driving in unfamiliar places, either. It's worse when you have loud kids in the car...and I also cherish my time off work!
ReplyDeleteI inherited the small talk issue from you. The other person has to be the talkative one or it's going to be an awkward time... I am bad about not asking questions about the other person in the conversation. I just never think about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm horrible with having guest over even though I do desire it but my lack of small talk is so bad I won't allow myself to have even a small party unless its all family. Sad isn't? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you and Chelle when it comes to the driving thing. I absolutely refuse to go to NLR.
