I’m Notorious!

Published on November 14, 2005 By InBloom In Misc

Definition of Notorious (according to the Merriam Webster online dictionary):

generally known and talked of; widely and unfavorably known.

We don’t have to be celebrities or be splashed out in front of a tabloid to have some sort of notoriety. Everybody has something they are “unfavorably” known for... you know, that one embarrassing or bad thing you do so consistently that your name is forever linked to it. Yes, we are all notorious for something (now, please read this with tongue in cheek...we are not talking extreme notoriety here)...

This is what I’m notorious for...I’m laying it all out on the table for you...

*Never trying on clothes at a store...I just buy them and hope for the best!

*Cutting up half of something (let’s say a donut) because “I won’t eat it all” , THEN going back and looking for that second half.

*Bumping into stuff and knocking them down (especially when I go shopping)...with my cart, with my behind, with my klutzy hands...

*Having a short term memory...I can say something one minute, then forget what I said a minute later.

*Having a really bad sweet tooth...I can have a full stomach from a good dinner, but for some odd reason, I STILL find room for desert...

*Using “umm” too much when I speak.

*Needing something to be repeated to me at least once since my mind tends to wander off a few times a day.

*Using too much umm (see how I used “ummm”?)...toilet tissue...I need to curb that.

*Abandoning a glass of water when it gets even the slightest bit warm.

(Okay, okay, the above 2 show I need to be more environmentally aware...sigh)

*Being a bit of a germphobe...Can you imagine how I reacted when I learned of the bird flu...(If I could, I’d run out to get a box of Tamiflu).

*Eating slow...actually, I never thought I did, until family and co-workers pointed it out to me.

*Not speaking up or complaining enough when I get bad service...other people get so annoyed, they sometimes speak up for me.

*Waiting until the last minute to do my taxes...people don’t understand why I do it....a bit of procrastinating perhaps?

Well, here is my list....I’m sure you readers out there are notorious for something as well, aren’t you....

I asked my husband to describe me in one sentence, and he said, "I like your boobs."

Men.

I don't know. I'm probably one of the most average people around. In any capacity you can think of...average! Hehe. That's cool with me, though. I'm happy.

Now see.....I woulda said "I like your legs"!

I almost forgot...I spill food on my blouses! but only if they're clean! all of my blouses, tee-shirts, sweatshirts have
permanent food spill spots!!

This is so me. My husband always jokes that he can tell what I had for lunch that day by looking at my shirt. I think I need a bib. I probably change my shirt three times a day. I try to blame it on the kids spitting up etc. but honestly it's me as much as its them.

This has something to do with the protruding shelf attached to your chest. My wife has the "same" problem.

Haha, you guys are funny!

My husband could give you a long list about me I'm sure. I on the other hand could give you an even longer list about him!

He doesn't like when I bite my lips, I do this when I'm thinking about something.

Or do what we call "hiss my teeth" that means making a sound with my mouth when I'm annoyed.

My wife hates it when I'm concentrating "real" hard on something I tend to let the tip of my tongue protrude a little from my mouth.

I tend to stick my tongue out, too, when I am using my strength on something...(ummm, like, opening up a jar of pickles...lol)

My husband does that, too, and my youngest child has done it since he was very, very young. I'm beginning to think it's hereditary. Hehe.

Anyways, I think it's adorable!

I'm notorious ...

For being a loner.

For drinking only water during dinner then afterwards drinking soda, Kool-Aid, juice, milk or alcohol.

For yelling at people who can't drive.

For being fun at work.

For wearing shorts year around.

For being sarcastic and a smartass.

For being a sports addict.

A lot of these things I don't consider bad though.
