I have to put chapstick on before I go to sleep. I seriously cannot fall asleep unless my lips are coated. I prefer Burt’s Bees, but anything would do at that point.
My top braces got ripped off by a blanket the
summer before my freshman year of high school. The ortho decided to not put
them back on and instead correct them with a retainer for the final months.
Now, my teeth don’t line up perfectly, but I have a funny story to tell!
I have always been claustrophobic, but as I have
gotten older it has gotten extremely worse. Case in point: the other day Chris
and I were driving down the highway and I saw three people in the back seat of
an extended cab truck (ya know the truck that has a back seat, but only two
real doors?). I started to breathe heavy and explained to Chris that I was
having anxiety thinking about how those people would escape if something
happened. Terrible, right? I won’t even mention when I started crying at the Eric
Church concert. I was claustrophobic because we were in the very middle of the
row and I didn’t have easy access to the edge. Whewwww…I’m getting anxious just
thinking about this! Moving on!
I really want another dog, but Chris and I don’t
think it is fair to Wrigley and Bailey. They need all our attention right now.
And by the looks of our backyard, another dog might aide in the attempt at digging
to China!
I would live in NYC in a heartbeat. By far my favorite
city. The constant hustle and bustle is such a rush and anything you want to do
is at your fingertips. Chris on the other hand would not be caught dead taking
an elevator to his “house” and sharing a bus with thousands of other people
that have “germs.” Yes, he is the person who carries around hand-san all. the. time.
Me, well I live by the 5 second rule…but depending on the food, 10 seconds is
always debatable.
Now y'all probably think I am a weirdo. Go ahead, unfollow me. I'll hide my eyes and pretend to not see ;)
Ok. So I HAVE to put vaseline on my lips before I go to sleep. Have to. It's not an option.
ReplyDeleteYes to the pre-bed chapstick and always needing an "escape" so to speak. Interesting that you'd want to live in such a people/car/everything-filled city! I'm with your husband on the germ police though, hand sanitizer is my best friend.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely hate sitting in the middle of any row. Anytime i buy tickets to an event i use the option where i can pick my own seat and i go right for the aisle seats. I will choose to sit further back on the end of a row instead of closer in the middle every single time.

I not only have to have chapstick on at night, I have to have it with me and on at all times. I'll literally have a small panic attack if I get somewhere and don't have any chapstick - it will become all I can think about!
ReplyDeleteHate, hate, hate middle seats, or anything that feels constrivtive! I think it stems from the time on NYE that we were stuck in an Elevator in our hotel for 2 hrs, in Manhattan after the ball had dropped. NEVER AGAIN! Haha I love the new "mini" Vaseline jars & each purse has their own. I just want one dog!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby lived in NYC for a little while. I think it was great at first but then it got really expensive and almost "too busy" if that makes sense. I think the only way I would live there now is if I were extremely wealthy and had a nice penthouse.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have to have my lips absolutely covered in chap stick before bed. 5 seconds, 10 seconds, whatever.... :)
ReplyDeleteI too am a vaseline/chapstick weirdo and put it on every night before bed! Now I don't feel so crazy! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI have major claustrophobia too- I prefer the front seat of any vehicle or else I feel trapped! Thanks for linking up, can't wait to read more of your blog!
ReplyDeleteohh my goodness, i can totally relate to the claustrophobia thing. i even get that way in larger places (i.e. the movie theater).
ReplyDeleteonce i sit down, i have to immediately locate the nearest exit in case i should ever need to know! crazy.
on a much lighter note, i'm the same way with chapstick!
there are some nights where i'll forget and get into bed...but then i can't sleep because i'm thinking about my chapped lips, so i crawl out of bed, put the chapstick on, and then get back into bed.
funny stuff!
I can totally relate to needing the chapstick before bed...I thought it was only me!!
ReplyDeleteWe aren't as crazy as we think we are :)
