Bad habits

Here's what started this. Judy tagged me weeks ago to name 5 odd things about me...well, it's not like there aren't many to pick from, but I haven't really had time to sit down and write a coherent post about it. Then I was sitting here, hands poised on the keyboard and this topic came to mind...it's not 5 odd things and perhaps it's not even that odd, more of a bad habit, but here's one thing I'm trying to change. What do you see in this picture? A hand? Actually, it's my hand. Yeah, I know, it's a big ugly hand with psoriasis (I have psoriasis and an allergy to many metals, my hands are always a mess)... that's okay, I know, I've resigned myself to never having a career as a hand model - well, unless the Seinfeld show tapes another "man hands" episode!!lol If you don't know me, you probably can't figure out what's different about this hand, but if you do know me, look closely?? What do you see at the end of my fingers??? My, would that be FINGERNAILS... on moi??? Yup folks, hate to admit it but I've been a nail biter for about as long as I can remember. It's just been one of those things I've done forever and did without ever noticing I was doing it. Since my nails were so atrocious, there was no way I'd ever be seen in a manicurist's chair but a few months ago, I decided to try it. I thought if my nails were polished - just a clear polish, perhaps it would make a difference. Let me tell you, the first time I had them done, I thought the smell of the stuff on them (polish and nail strengthener and various other things I'm not sure about!!lol) was so strong, I could barely bring my fingers near my face without my eyes watering!!lol Well, I went back to the manicurist every week and one week led into another and then another, and now it's been a few months and my nails are starting to look, well, normal!!lol Honestly, I'm finding having nails to be kind of a hassle and it still distracts me when I hear my nails on the keyboard instead of the quiet of my fingertips, but I'm getting used to it. :-) I usually get a French manicure which I find pretty, but today I went for a dark colour - the manicurist tells me short dark nails are in...I can handle it for a few days, although I keep startling myself with these dark nails!!lol And now that I've pointed it out to everyone, I have to be sure to keep up the no biting! So, 'fess up, what bad habits are you trying to break??
