10 Not-so-cute Things About Me

March 18th, 2009

1. I suppose we should start with the toenail fungus, right? In addition to not-so-cute, some consider it downright repulsive.

2. I am not a cute crier. Picture red, splotchy skin, bulging eyes, drippy nose, and a high-pitched squeal of a voice. So blechty.

3. I think I’m pretty hard to offend, but if I am, I too often hold on to the grudge. Not a good quality.

4. I growl when I’m upset or frustrated (particularly while picking up the house for the umpteenth time). I can’t help it; I inherited this trait from my mother.

5. Two words: stretch marks.

6. I am constantly cleaning out my ears. With my fingers. The best place to do this is at a stoplight.

7. I am not very detail oriented. I like to rush through to the finish line, cutting corners all along the way. Instruction manuals? Boring! Important steps? Whatev!

8. I am a hypocrite. Even though Oprah drives me nuts and I balk at the way she acts like a psychologist and parenting expert and occasionally a prophetess, I still enjoy watching her show sometimes. And I’ll be damned if I don’t get fantastically excited about her Favorite Things episode.

9. I can waste time like nobody’s business. If I have 10 things to do in one day, I will be amazingly efficient. If I have one thing to do, it will take me all day. Sometimes I’d like to wring my own neck.

10. I have a messy car. It is messier in the winter because nothing sounds more torturous than digging my way out of the stale french fries and random papers in frigid temperatures.
