So it was recently brought to my attention that I talk with my mouth full. Like all the time. Why? Obviously it's not intentional, maybe I have plenty to say that just can't wait. Plus I've never claimed to be all that lady-like, which I think is part of my charm.
Among friends, I've been known to belch, cuss, drink beer, talk trash, say that's what he said. Naturally, I play sports but I never say it's just a game, I'm super competitive and you'd better be good if you're on my team even if it's charades or so-help-me-god... Anyway. How have I never noticed this talking w/ mouth full habit before? And I love how my boyfriend just now points this out after 2 years. Thanks babe! Now that I know, do I change it or at least hope I remember to swallow my food first in front of a client? Did my mom forget to correct me for that growing up? I remember the elbows on the table and the wooden spoon just in case we forgot. Hmmm...
Well after 28 years of a bad habit, what do you do? I tell you what. If it's not hurting anyone, offending anyone, and I'm not spitting on you at dinner, then Get.Over.It. We all have little annoying things that people shouldn't do at our age. Plus it's not like I'm blowing my nose on the cloth napkin (although I hear that's ok). Or getting sloshed and puking on the side of your house. Or belching at work. Ever!
So I guess if you have a problem w/ my eating habits, talking habits, drinking habits, or anything else I do of the habitual nature, then please exit stage left and have a nice day! Otherwise, I'll give you a mouthful to complain about... that's what he said.
***Feel free to share your bad habits in the comments! This post is for C. Starr who enables my habits on a weekly basis. Thanks for putting up with me!***

First of all, I NEVER give you crap about your bad habits....we all have them. But that doesn't mean I won't point them out. Why? Because it's funny to see you blush every SINGLE time. If you truly don't care, then why do you get embarassed about them? After all, you have no problem pointing out my bad ones....and that's what friends are for.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the few that can HONESTLY take everything with a grain of salt and F$%^ the rest. Thank you for being such a great friend after all we have witnessed and been through....but I am still wondering how I "enable this on a weekly basis".....
Aww thanks C! Well first, it doesnt take much to make me blush. Or laugh for that matter. Second, you're one of those few friends I have that I can be 100% myself around and it usually leads to a mouth full of food and drink!
