Habits and Melodies

Okay…I have been asked to respond to a meme (revealing seven of my habits and seven of my favorite songs) by one sexy nurse named Jillie. As I have said before, I typically don’t do these because I hate the word “meme”. Why? I have no idea. However, when a sexy nurse asks you to do something you do it, whether it’s a meme or if she says, “strip and lie on the table”, especially if you merely came in with an ear ache. So to wit and heretofore, are my responses…

7 Habits…

1. I smoke. I wish I didn’t, but dear God I do enjoy it so. It calms me, helps me to think, and all the while lines my lungs with arsenic laced goo. How can one refuse that set of temptations? A good smoke is nice after sex. Of course, if that was the only time I smoked, I would be in much better shape.

2. I eat much too fast. If you were to watch me eat, you may be appalled. Although I don’t notice it, I am sure I look like a vacuum with eyes when I eat.

3. I steal pens and pencils. I don’t do it intentionally, but if I need something to write with “for a moment”, and borrow it from someone for “just a second”, I invariably walk away with it. I wonder if I could borrow a dollar bill from someone to just “jot a note”, and then walk away with that?

4. I honor expiration dates on food. I never used to, but with each passing day I am becoming more like my dad. Dad would freak whenever he saw potato salad at a cookout or if Mom went somewhere between the grocery and the house with bologna in her bag of groceries.

5. Although I am getting better about it, many times I only put 4 or 5 dollars worth of gas in the car at a time even if I have plenty of money to fill it up. Maybe I have a sub-conscious attraction to the chick that runs the cash register at the gas station.

6. In the spring, such as now, a particular bird wakes me up at 5 a.m. with his chirping everyday. It is at this time that I ask God to help my son have a good day.

7. I put both of my legs into my pantyhose at the same time. Oh stop it, I was just kidding. I put my left leg in first and then my right one.

7 Favorite Songs…(although this changes frequently)

Until we meet again folks, enjoy my habits and my music. Thanks Jillie, and to all Cheers!!
