perfectly imperfect

I stole this from MauraLessa who stole it from others and so on and so forth.

While some think that a blogger only displays what is picture perfect on his or her blog, we know we are all filled with imperfections. I don’t feel like I’ve ever painted a false picture here on my blog about who I am, but I know we all leave out some of the worst things about ourselves. Just like how I crop and edit the heck out any photo I dare to use as a profile pic. So lest anyone around here think I have all my ducks in a row, let me knock a few of those ducks down for you.

  • I almost never take my clothes out of the dryer as soon as they are done drying. It’s very common for me to leave them in there for almost a whole week, just going in the laundry room and pulling out what I need for that day. I hate putting away laundry. I also never iron. I have a shirt I’ve only worn once because pre-wash was the only time it was ever not wrinkled.
  • I pay little or no attention to my dogs. My husband feeds and waters them. They have a dog door so they can come in and out as they please. I will occasionally bathe them myself, but only if I can’t talk my husband into doing it. I don’t like the licking or the barking or the jumping or the peeing where it’s not allowed. Basically, I’m not an animal person.
  • I have issues with my ears. Multiple times a day I can found with either a q-tip or a bobby pin in my ear. It’s a little bit OCD. The over-cleaning leads to dry ears which leads to itching which leads to scratching which leads to this vicious cycle I can’t seem to get out of. Sorry if I just grossed you out there.
  • My husband and I are not shy when it comes to bodily functions. We burp and fart around each other all the time. And while I do not want an audience while going to the bathroom, I often leave the door open when I’m going number 1. And we sometimes say we’re blowing kisses when we fart at each other. I know, you can go throw up now.
  • We have a mail slot in our front door. Sometimes we let the mail pile up on the floor for days before we pick it up and sort through it.
  • I don’t flush the toilet when I pee in the middle of the night. I wait until the morning.
  • The George Bush turnpike (in Dallas) used to be set up so that you could stop and pay it with money. A couple of years ago they took away the toll booths. So now your only option is to be billed in the mail or use a pike pass. Since I’m an Oklahoma resident this means that they don’t bill me for using it because they don’t have access to my address. So what used to cost me $6 round trip to go from my grandma’s house to IKEA is now FREE! And I do not feel guilty about that at all. No one should have to stop and pay $1 six times for a drive that’s 40 minutes round trip. Not when I can drive the four hours from Tulsa to Dallas paying only one toll of $2.
  • Last year someone rear ended me. It was the first time I’ve ever been in an accident. The damage to my bumper was minimal, so instead of getting it fixed, I used the money to go to BlogHer.
  • My master bathroom was the first room I chose to makeover last year. The project got abandoned halfway through due to monetary issues. And while I’ve managed to move on and makeover almost every other room in the house, my master bath still sits unfinished. And only the toilet and sink are usable. This is kind of a pattern in my house as all the rooms I’ve managed to makeover have not been completed.
  • Sometimes I delete things off the DVR that my husband recorded when it’s starts filling up. And then I pretend that the DVR did it. How many episodes of Hillbilly Handfishin’ does one really need to see?

I think I’ll stop here. I can’t let you know all my secrets.

Wow…you were honest. ;-)

Okay, my does that “wait until morning to flush” thing. I don’t get it. You might need to write an entire post to justify that one!

Mostly, this just made me laugh my head off. But now i’m paranoid that somehow you’re going to get caught skipping out on tolls. Delete! Delete! When we go to California and skip a toll, we get a fine in the mail even though we live out of state. How has Texas not figured it out?

For Isabel – we don’t flush the toilet at night because it’s loud! If I flush, my kids wake up!

haaaa, I love the blowing kisses thing. I’m going to have to use that ;)

Do you have dogs because your husband wants them then?

I’ve seen this meme going around and I can’t quite think of what I’d share. Clearly I over-share already! I am going to tell Mr. Darcy about the “blowing kisses” thing though. Hilarious.

Don’t tell my husband, but I’ve done the DVR thing, too. Only a couple times. It’s especially pathetic since at least 75% of the DVR is my stuff and yet still I’ve deleted some of his to make room for more.

My grandfather, Sir, used to have itchy ears. He scratched them with his keys all the time. Haha.

Great post. :-)

Sometimes when I eat the last of the ice cream I tell my kids that “Daddy did it.” And his memory is so bad he totally takes their abuse.
