Two Questions of the Day
#1 - The question was "What is the weather like outside right now"?
In a word - blustery. It is Windy with a capital "W", and temps are in the 40's, so it's cold dammit!
#2 - The question yesterday was - "What bad habit have you broken"?
I broke the bad habit of biting my nails. I started biting in 3rd grade & continued until 9th grade. I had a pretty mean teacher in third grade (Mrs. Armstrong/Anderson) and it started two habits: licking my lips until I had a crusty chapped ring around my mouth, and biting my nails. Mom tried everything to get me to stop... nail polish, hot sauces of various kinds, promising me money, etc... Nothing worked until 9th grade. There was a snotty stuck-up girl in some of my classes. I despised her. She always had these long red nails (probably fake) that she flaunted around. I decided that if *she* could have it, well so could I! Hmph! Look down your richy-bitchy nose at me, willya? So, I started chewing gum. Surreptitously, of course, because I was a *good* girl and would never chew gum in class! (I also loved to blow bubbles, and learned to blow bubbles inside my mouth too) Let me tell ya, it's gross to have nail bitings pieces in your gum... so it helped me quit the biting habit. HOWEVER - to this day, I can't go anywhere without a nail clipper or file. If I get a rough patch, I have to stop & fix it immediately or I *will* wind up biting it.
