Three Things Thursday
I've been terrible at remembering to start this post the last few weeks, so please allow me to start an "early morning" edition of this one.
What are three "bad"/annoying/frustrating habits of yours that you'd like to break?

Re: Three Things Thursday
1. Worrying about everything (which causes me anxiety which has been extremely bad lately)
2. Biting my nails
I thought of 2 with no problem and I'm having a hard time with 3 even though I'm sure I have MANY bad/annoying habits my mind just isn't working this early.
3. Falling alseep so early every night?! That's all I can think of right now.
1. I'm already well on my way to overcoming this, but I have an addiction to chapstick. I was putting it on probably about 12 times a day. I started weaning myself about a year ago, and after a few month of it being really tough (like, ridiculously dry and cracked lips) I'm down to about 3 times a day. Once we get back into spring and all the furnaces turn off, I'm hoping to bring it down to even less!
2. I watch way too much tv. And not even stuff that I even like. It's mostly just to have background noise on. We just canceled cable, and I can already tell that its helping!
3. I need to keep my work space and home more organized. At work I have papers everywhere, and at home, things like the mail just get put on the kitchen table to die. I need to get better at dealing with things right away and then filing or throwing it out.
1. too much time on computer
2. waiting much of the day to do some cleaning and then packing it all in right before dh gets home
3. washing all the laundry and letting it sit for a day or a few before I fold it.
These are lame but they are first that come to mind: and easiest to change.
Hmmm... maybe I have something here for lent
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
1. I plan too much!!! I need to just chill out!
2. I worry too much about what other people think. This means I have the hardest time saying no to things... It gets me in trouble.
3. I wish that I was more motivated to keep the house de-cluttered... DH is horrible when it comes to clutter and piling stuff... It's just so hard to keep up with, and not get sucked into the piling mentality!

1. I worry too much. I have no control of life, so I really shouldn't be worrying.
2. I stress out too much (which is different than worrying). Panic attacks suck but meds made me gain 30 lbs... soooo.. yeah...
3. And I'm on the computer too much. I honestly don't like it, but I'm on the computer for schoolwork and Nesting/FBing is a great distraction so it equals into being on the computer twice as long as I have to (or 3x or 4x longer than I have to be).
1) I also worry way too much. Which can cause me anxiety which isn't good.
2) I snack way too much.
3) I might be known to wait a little too long to shave my legs
1. I bite my nails for no good reason. I don't even have to be stressed.
2. I eat waaaay too many sweets.
3. I've been known to turn into a sailor with the language when I'm really mad. I'm definitely not proud of it.
1. I worry too much. Thats probably why my hair keeps falling out :-) I need to be more like my DH who takes the "whatever is going to happen is going to happen" road.
2. I make excuses as to why I cant get on the treadmill when I get home from work. They are all lame. I need to stop and just get on it already.
3. Im one of those annoying people who doesn't put the new toilet paper roll on. Oops. It drives DH crazy.
1. I try to plan everything and think ahead, like way ahead, like I found myself thinking about 30 years ahead last night. I need to relax about that kind of thing because it's making my anxiety worse.
2. I'm on the computer too much at work.
3. Not folding the laundry when it's done.
1. I am also a stressor...about life, work, etc. I do feel like I am slowly getting better at keeping this in check.
2. I let work emotions carry over into my personal life. One of my NY's resolutions was to try to leave work stuff at work.
3. I am a perfectionist. It is frustrating because I feel like I often times don't give myself enough credit for the things that I do/have accomplished because I'm not "perfect." In reality, I'm sure I'm doing just as well (or better than) a lot of other people.
1. I have a potty mouth. Not all the time but occasionally I let one slip when I shouldn't (ie with DD in earshot)
2. I eat when I'm bored/stressed/frustrated etc. I eat too much!!
3. I don't have enough patience with my older DD!
Just 3?!?!? LOL
1. I procrastinate way too much.
2. Because of #1, I'm usually just ontime or late to things, which I hate.
3. I need to spend nap time not on FB or internet or watching tv, but getting things done.
We are a big group of worriers!!!
-I don't tend to worry about things as much as I tend to over analyze everything.
-I love to gossip-terrible I know!
-I spend an inappropriate amount of time on FB, Thenest, The. bump, and Pinterest.
1) I've been known to put my foot in my mouth a time or two.
2) Have had anxiety attacks from worrying too much.
3) I have a potty mouth and I'm trying to stop it before the baby comes.
Did I miss this post somewhere else? CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
1) To get more organized around the house. I hate clutter- It drives me nuts. I just feel like every time I clean one room the next looks like a tornado hit ( in my defense - I have an 18 month old.. enough said lol)
2) bad eating habbits. Go all day without eating- up late- eating junk
3) Staying up wayyyyy to late - sooner or later I am going to have to stop stressing, let go a little and know that everything will not always get done and everything can not be perfect lol
