Don’t Do’s…

October 28, 2008 · 21 Comments

  1. I don’t do… wiping my face with a towel. There was a time in my life when I did this, but I’ve since learned that this causes BAD BAD things to happen to my nose ring.
  2. I don’t do… waking up when my alarm clock tells me to, which is a recent and puzzling development for me.
  3. I don’t do… driving the speed limit. (hanging my head in shame)
  4. I don’t do… late night movies. I’m getting old, y’all.
  5. I don’t do… balancing the checkbook. I married a mathematician, plus I always used the total on the ATM receipt to tell me how much remained in the bank.

So. What are some of your “Don’t Dos?”

    [lori . . .lol at Yo Gabba Gabba comment! It is just plain weird. And I'm from Texas, stuck in Georgia where there is NO decent Tex-Mex. It is very, very sad. Eat some enchiladas for me!]

    -temps below 75
    -sleeping in socks
    -pumpkin guts
    -fruit in dessert
    -killing insects and/or spiders . . .they get trapped in a plastic cup until hubby comes home to properly dispose (squish) of them.

    -cats. kittens are cute but I was blessed to receive cat scratch fever (not the Ted Nugent song) in middle school and have been bitter ever since.
    -dishes. bleh.
    -baths. The thought of soaking in my own filth seems redundant… I know they’re relaxing but I just can’t do it!
    -Calculus
    -Candy corn. Too sweet for my blood.
    -Fish… they are too slimy.
    -Kill bugs. I catch them and put them outside… Watched “The Next Karate Kid” too many times.
