Public shame...

I deserve it... I am doing this to teach myself a lesson- I want as much negative, mean, ruthless commentary EVER about this post. Seriously...I've had a lot of time (28 years) to reflect on my habits, and this week marks the beginning of a miracle. Yes, I decided to stop biting my fingernails. It's funny, Blake says he NEVER sees me biting my nails- then how would you explain these....

If that wasn't bad enough how about an even closer shot...
These are what I've lovingly labeled as nubbins. My nail beds look like an infant's- they're that small. So I know that this is both too late for the '07 New Years Resolution as well as too early for the '08 NYR- but lets be serious-I am WAY too old to have this disgusting habit. I hope I don't gross other people out the way Lebron James grosses me out....


So- how will I defeat this habit? The magical polish- HOOF- Stop the Bite!


Why does this sound like I have a TOE nail biting problem?? Gees, great brand name!! Lame! So if you've never had to use this stuff, let's just say it makes vitamins taste like freakin HEAVEN! BLACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So, the good thing about this stuff= I won't bite my nails with this stuff polished on.

The bad stuff= don't even THINK about eating a scrumptious bag of Cheetos or a chocolate candy that has no shell because the second you EVEN try to lick your fingers you will be APPALLED at the taste going in your mouth! Putting my fingers to my mouth has never felt like a problem- hopefully it won't take too long for this habit to go away!!

Wish me luck! I'm tackling Satan himself!!

Good luck tackling satan! Hey, I saw the article in the paper about Blake's band today! I'm gonna have to go and get that album - and you need to let everyone know about the performance in Phoenix on the 24th! Oh, and ditto on the craigslist kudos! I got my mini about a year ago from craigslist and just got a new tenant today from craigslist!

you should totally wear gloves when you're eating finger foods. maybe you'll start a new trend.
