My birthday is on February 23, and on the 23rd(-ish) of each month, I share a little something about me...usually of a pretty random variety.
Here's April's randomness...
39) I used to bite my nails.
I grew up a nail-biter, and I think it was in the sixth
grade that I finally quit. I would
regress from time to time throughout high school and college, but for the most
part, I realized I liked the look of manicured nails. I specifically remember the last time I fell
off the wagon…election night in 2004…and a nail-biter, that was! I can’t remember if my hang nails lasted
throughout all the hanging chad controversy, though.
;)
40) I sometimes have trouble getting rid of things…
…especially favorite articles of clothing. I had the yummiest pair of corduroy pants in
college. I wore them until the seat
literally wore out. There was no way to
fix them, but the thought of throwing them away made me teary-eyed. I had Hubby do it, out of my sight. “Just put them out of their misery,” I begged
him.
And this past week, I lost a favorite pair of
flip-flops. They needed to have been put
to pasture probably two years ago…but I just couldn’t find a suitable
replacement. They had been relegated to
my “garage shoes”, but they still got substantial wear. I was traipsing around in the yard, and they
BROKE. Once again, Hubby came to the
rescue and disposed of the evidence.
Sniff, sniff.

I love your loyalty to your clothes :)
I understand though - there are not many items of clothing I love but the ones I do, I would probably also pine over :)
Oh I love some of my clothes - literally to death.
And I have to wear polish to stop me from biting my nails
:)
but have you found a good replacement now? i think that we have the same feelings for flip flops....so if you have a pair you adore, i'd love to get the recommendation :)
Oh, good - there is hope for Grayden. :) She has become quite a nail biter!
I used to be a horrible nail biter, too...but now get compliments on my well maintained nails! :-)
