Things I Suck At …

The first and most obvious one is ending the titles of posts with a preposition. Beyond that, here goes:

1. Laundry – seriously.. sometimes a load of laundry gets washed 2 or 3 times because I simply forget about it and it starts to get a bit stinky. Happens ALL THE TIME.
2. Hiding my fear of spiders from my kids. I like to think myself a tough girl, most things don't frighten me. But, ewwwwwwwwww …. spiders are … making me shudder now. Moving on.
3. Suppressing my 'that stinks' face when I smell something nasty. Can't do it. I would suck at fart poker.
4. Biting my tongue when my husband says something …. errrr… blatantly stupid or wrong. I should be better at this after 7 years of marriage, but I'm not.
5. Resisting the urge to pop every jeezus joint in my body. That's a leftover of being a gymnast/dancer all my life.
6. Having patience or even being friendly when I'm really tired. I like my sleep. Period.
7. Resisting the pretty, shiny things in the MAC store.
8. Remembering to throw out nasty leftovers. This triggers #3.
9. Having a bad hangover, though I used to be pretty good at this one. Old age is a bitch.
10. Remembering to return phone calls.
11. Following up on stuff I really don't want to do. (some may call this being GOOD at passive-aggressiveness. I buy that argument).
12. Making lists .. kind of ironic, huh?

Anyone with me on these?

I might have also ranted about this here:

• Feminist Fridays – Fashion
• Questions.
• The Price Paid for a Compliment
