Adam hates me sometimes, but I hate him equally as much.
Below are just a few things that I do that drive my husband crazy, but that I refuse to change. Every one these items have led a to shouting match in case you were wondering.
1. I NEVER lock my car doors at night. Because I grew up in a town where I left my keys in the ignition over night without fear of my car getting stolen, I have a really nasty habit of trusting that Kansas City is no different than McPherson. Adam on the other hand trusts no one and locks his car in the garage. I think that he should just be happy that I take the time to bring my keys inside at night.
2. I leave the lids unscrewed on everything. For some reason when I am cooking (which happens often), or cleaning (which happens less often), I can never seem to remember to get everything completely closed. Recently this led to Adam dumping a lot of expensive whey protein on the floor. Much yelling ensued, the end result, I agreed to be better. This was quickly forgotten when I made bread the next day and failed to close the flour container.
3. I can sleep with every light, television and radio on in the house. Growing up, my brother and sister were loud, and some how I developed an odd ability to sleep anywhere under any conditions. For some reason, Adam thinks it is a waste of money to sleep with the lights and television on, but I don't pay the bill so why should I care?
4. My make-up is always out. I am not a morning person, so whenever I have to actually wake up and look presentable it is usually done in a mad scramble. Leaving no time to clean up any mess or put away my make-up. Also see number 2 for more of my bathroom counter looks like when I am done.
5. I buy really expensive lattes and only drink half of them. I can't help it, I will set the cup down and forget about it. When I do finally remember that I have it, it is cold and who drinks a cold drink that wasn't ordered cold?
6. My phone is never fully charged. Like ever. Almost every one in my life hates me for this. I don't know why I find it so inconvenient to plug the damn thing in, but it is to me. Adam claims that I should always have my phone on because why else do we pay for it, but I think that it makes a great paper weight when dead as well.
I am sure there is more to the list, but he will have to fill you on those because I just don't have time to continue. I have a busy day of cooking, cleaning and housewifing ahead.
speaking as someone who had tires stolen and a whole car stolen, if your car is outside you should lock it in the least. didnt matter in my case but it can't hurt.
ReplyDeleteabbie does the makeup thing, i wish we had separate sinks/bathrooms.
lights/tv would bug me too, i can't sleep with even the light from my alarm clock shining. not really a money thing, just an i can't sleep thing.
your brutally honest blog is interesting. keep it up.
Can I just say that your profile name reads a bit obscenely...
DeleteThanks Andy. I am anything if not myself all the time. Adam thinks I overshare, but I call it being artistically open.
ReplyDeleteHa, I know about the locking the doors thing. I just can't seem to get into the habit.
I am with you on #3. I have to have background noise and every light on.
ReplyDeleteMe too...it's so weird but it actually helps me relax
