Girlfriend's box of questions.

Okay gang.....here's today's question. Chime in  tell us.............


 What is your most compulsive daily ritual??

I always put my right leg into my pants first and I always put my left shoe on first.

I don't know if this is really a compulsive ritual or just habit, but if I should put my right shoe on first, I have to take it off and put the left one on.


Crazy, huh?

How about you?

Brushing my teeth then taking my vitamins. Then checking the boards. My DH says it takes me 20 min until I go back into the bathroom to finish up!

Nancy, I do the same thing, and again at bedtime. I haven't missed my supplements in over two years since figuring this routine out. Too bad it took me two years to do it....lol

I wish I could say the vits and all, but I honestly miss about 3 calcium tablets a week (I take 3 a day) and maybe 1 vitamin a week (I take 2 a day).


My most compulsive is getting on the scale everyday.  Right before I get dressed for the day.

Yeah, there's another one of mine...the scale.

Gee, maybe I'm more OCD than I thought....lol!

This will really sound nutty, lol.  Every day no matter what it is I'm doing, I count things in my head.  I don't know why, just do.

I count any time I do anything repetitive.  It's nutty, I know, but I just do.  I count everything in my head.  How many steps I'm doing on the stepper, how many revolutions on the elliptical, how many vegetables I've picked, how many stairs I'm walking up, etc. 

I tend to count a lot too.  What is really bad, is I prefer certain numbers.  I do not like the numbers 2,4,6,8 or 9.  Don't know why.  I would rather have 3 cookies than 4.  Just don't like the number 4. That's ridiculous, isn't it?

When I get up, I gotta go, then make coffee, turn on the computer, wake up slowly. All kidding aside , I'm a matchy -matchy person, so into the closet I go , find a outfit , get the earrings that go with the top, shoes that look good. into the shower. I find if I don't follow these few steps, I'm in slow mow mode all day.

A creature of habit is what I call myself.

My daily ritual is setting the alarm for 20 minutes before I need to actually get up and then hitting the snooze button three times before I get up.  My husband thinks I'm a nut.  He says just set it for when you actually want to get up and stop all this nonsense.  I do it because somewhere I have the hope that I'll actually get up that 20 minutes earlier and do something constructive.  It hasn't happened yet though.
