I’m totally stealing this from Katie, because I think it’s refreshing that she was so honest about her imperfections, and I always think about the weird stuff that makes me, Me. So here goes, me sharing my imperfections with you:
2. I pick everything on my body. Scabs, pimples, errant hairs. I know I’m only making the problem worse, but I can’t help it.
3. (I pick at Dave too. He resists.)
4. While I love to cook and bake, I cannot muster up the energy to cook dinner every night like some of you lovely ladies. The past few days? We went out on Saturday (were upstate with friends), had Ramen on Sunday, and got pizza yesterday.
5. I feel like I’m going to be a bad mom because I don’t cook dinner every night. Nor do I think I will all of a sudden have the urge to when we have kids.
6. Instead of letting my hair go down and clog the drain while showering, I’ll wipe it on the wall, and then throw it all out when I’m done.
7. My coffee, hot or iced, lasts me for HOURS.
8. I leave garbage in my car and Dave’s car.
9. Dishes are left in our sink for days. Until it starts to pile up, or we run out of bowls/plates, we leave it there.
10. I shave the hairs that grow on the top of my big toes.
11. Even though they say 3 grow back for every 1 you pull, I pull the random grey hairs I find. Screw them.
12. Days will go by without me shaving my legs. Dave says he doesn’t care, but I still feel gross and ungirly. But not gross or ungirly enough to shave more!
13. I will wear my PJs for like 3 nights in a row.
14. Jars of pickles disappear in our house. Because I eat them in one day.
15. If you think I’m listening to my iPod, and you want to talk about me/other people, you better make sure I really have music playing. Cause I definitely put in my headphones and then don’t turn on the music so I can eavesdrop.
16. I sometimes think that I do nice things for other people JUST so I can feel good about myself for it/hear their praise of me.
17. My skin still breaks out and I hate it, but yet I don’t take proper care of my face. I barely wash it before I go to bed, and only really wash it in the morning when I’m in the shower, cause I hate the water getting all over the place from our small sink when I splash my face with it.
18. A lot of my shoes smell because I barely wear socks with them. And I have clammy feet to make it worse.
19. I’m not meant to have long nails. I pick at the cuticles constantly (see #2), and chew on my nails. Guaranteed they’ll be short and stubby for my wedding.
20. There are a bunch of random hairs that grow on my chin, and my neck (yes, neck!) that I pluck regularly. Also one that grows in the middle of my chest.
So, now that you know WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT ME… what about you? Care to share your imperfections?

I am also a crazy picker. Fortunately I married a very understanding man who allows me to pick him at will.
I LOVE this post. You are so cute.
I totally shave my big toes too. I thought I was the only person that does that.
I am really bad at picking at my nails too. Fortunately, I was able to resist for about two months before the wedding so my nails were actually a litte longer.
There is no way in hell I can cook every night of the week. I can't wait to have kids but I know I will not be cooking every single night. That is crazy.
I just shaved my legs yesterday for the first time in like a week. It was gross.
I wear my pajamas for way more than 3 days in a row. However, I shower twice a day (once in the morning and once at night) so I am not exactly dirty when I go to bed. I have to shower in the evening if I have been to the gym. However, I am in the habit now so I will shower twice even if I don't work out. Oddly, my husband does the same thing.
My shoes (and feet after wearing said shoes) smell.
And I am totally with you on #16.
I guess we have a lot in common!
I have hair on my toes too! I bleach it though.
We have a lot in common, mainly with the picking and hair tweezing/shaving stuff!
I LOVE that you just revealed all of those things because honestly – I can say a lot are true about myself! Especially the picking thing… and the shaving thing… and the pj thing… I also don't like to shower.. EVER… but have to for work and fear of embarrassing my new husband in public.
This list is awesome.
I, like everyone else who commented, think this list is awesome! My biggest problem is picking/biting my nails. It's ridiculous. Just when they start to get long and decent, off they come! Oh and I shave my toes too!
Ha, awesome post. We're all such little gross girls, huh? My worst is the nail thing. I can't ever get them out of my mouth.
This post is brillaint.
I have 3 hairs that grow on my chin, and always in the same place. I also pluck them.
My legs are fairly hairless in summer, but in winter, not so much. I lie in Scotland and wear trousers. My Dave couldn't care less
Anyone who doesn't pick scabs is a wierdo!
I may or may not agree with #20 and I may or may not do the same thing:-)
OMG, I pick and my shoes REEK. I hate socks.
I also do many of these things – but I'm not going to say which ones as I'm not brave enough to reveal them, haha!
I have a serious hair twirling problem. I'm pretty sure I break off the ends.
I have to triple check when I lock doors.
I don't eat my nails, skin, hair or cuticles. Guess I'm lucky in that way.
Love this post!! I am also a big picker, it is gross but I can't help it! And my poor nails…awful.
And cooking? What is that? I make a mean frozen pizza these days
I totally shave the hair on my big toes too!
LOL thank you for making me feel more normal. Anything you said about hair and picking…me too. And the clothes on the floor and dishes in the sink…ME TOO. I am glad not to be the only weird one. Also, RIGHT when I get home I put on PJs if I know I am not going anywhere else for the night.
I love wearing my favorite pjs as long as I can get away with it. And I happen to like picking my pimples too, you're right, it makes it worse.:/ similar skin problem, maybe? I have a teenager skin.
We share 1,2,3,13,15, and 18 in common!
My college roommates used to put their hair on the shower wall, but forget to take it off and it would freak me out. Of course, I now do it as well, so I guess I understand it now
Let's see, like you I:
-pick at everything
-put my hair on the wall in the shower
-wear my PJs for about a week before washing them
-go days without shaving my legs
Love your list. I do the same thing with my hair in the shower too! xoxo
SC
you must share how in the world you get coffee to last for hours?!
wow…i do practically all of these!
1, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 (except i pull kinked hairs rather than gray), 12, 13, 14 (ollliiiveeesss), 15, 17, 19.
my bf is the picker/tweezer =)
I do a lot of these things too, oops
You should try eating jello more regularly. The gelatin in jello makes your nails stronger!
You only wear your PJs 3 nights in a row? Ummm. I don't think I can say how many nights I wear my PJs!
Oh, lord, I see SO much of myself in this post!
I am a terrible picker. It just exacerbates all blemishes and yet I can't resist.
I'm also lame about shaving. I cannot WAIT until I can afford to get electrolysis and never worry about hair removal again!'
I leave a trail of junk everywhere, so I feel you on that one too…
My fiance is the picker in our relationship. He will sneak up behind me to pick at something on my back which results in a firm slap on the arm. Ha <3 All in love.
Your Coffee one makes me giggle.
My fiance is driven nuts by the fact my White Chocolate Mocha's will last me half the day. Love it.
1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 = ME TOO
