    A habit you wanted to get rid of....

    Hi Hubbers,

    I think we have had enough of advices floating around (courtesy-JG) and enough of defence being put up (Courtesy-Mandangi). Let's get to some serious business.

    Share atleast one habit of yours which you always wanted to get rid of. Also, write why. It is known that 'Habits die hard' but at times it might have embarassed you also. If you feel too shy to discuss about your habit, well, you can always disguise it as your best friend' s habit which you detest! Do refrain from calling 'Hubbing' as the habit you wish to shrug away.

    I'll start with one of my 'not-so--bad' habits - reading while eating. I never find my food interesting if I dont have a book in my other hand to read. This habit of mine, I think, has caused the maximum number of arguements/ teasings between myself and my hubby ( he'd say I'll even eat garbage as I dont really take note of what I'm eating), but I have only failed miserable each time I try to give it up!

    Over to you all!

    Procastrination is the habit I would like to lose.
    I postpone certain things , things I would have marked for a weekend to do. After some time, the same things I had postponed, comes back to hurry me up.

    Hey, I have the same habit. I can't eat without reading either...If I can't find a book, I'll grab one of my textbooks .

    Deep,

    Reading your text book is okay, but, think of me, reading my daughter's textbook when I find nothing new to read!! The problem is, I dont stop after reading, but ask her questions to check how much she has read!

    BTW, What's that in yr mysterious avtaar?? Explain it pls. in the 'Story behind username n avtaar' thread!
