- Not taking a shower until 4PM… even when I’ve exercised at 8:00AM.
- Forgetting my recycle bags about 50% of the time I go to the market.
- Not always putting the shopping cart back in the corral (I’m late; It’s raining; My knee hurts; I pray no one sees me. )
- Not ever wanting to drive 45 minutes in traffic and pay $30 for parking after driving in order to eat at an overpriced restaurant downtown.

- That my favorite date night is at home with my husband on the couch watching a Netflix movie.
- Telling the waiter, “Yes, I’d like the bread basket, please!”
- Making everyone in my airplane aisle get up when I have to pee every half hour (honestly, I tried to get an aisle seat.)
- Napping.
- Watching TV.
- Not reading the book club book (I was watching TV).
