31 Day Blogging Challenge Day 9: My Worst Habits

What are my worst habits?

Procrastination for one. I have a tendency to put things off until I absolutely can't anymore. When I was in school I would write entire papers the night before they were due. And these days, I let my housework get so behind that I'm spending the hour before people come over to attempt to clean everything at once.

I'm always running late almost everywhere I go, so I should pick out my clothes and get everything ready to go at night. But instead I spend too much time every morning trying to figure out what to wear and locating my stuff. None of the parties I host ever start on time. People have learned to show up late. I come by this honest as my mom is always late too. We walked into church a few weeks ago and the preacher announced it must be past time to start...

I like for things to be organized but I have to be in the mood, otherwise my room ends up looking like a tornado hit it. (Which is every other week or so.) I have trouble keeping my clothes hung/folded neatly. It's much easier to throw dirty clothes in the floor (or the hamper if it doesn't have clean clothes in it that I haven't put away) and put clean clothes on my bed or in the chair in my room. If I could twitch my nose like Tabitha and magically put things away, every room in my house would be clean. Too bad.

One other bad habit I have, which may also be considered a nervous habit, is picking at my nails, creating hang nails and sometimes causing myself to bleed. I do this less often when I have my nails painted so I try to keep them that way. This is also why I keep a stash of band-aids on hand at all times.
