I can officially cross off one item from my forty before forty list...stop biting nails. I have bitten my nails ever since I can remember. I remember my mother yelling at me for biting them. She threatened to put chili powder on my nails or by buy nail polish that tasted bad to get me to stop. It didn't work. I guess I never really wanted to stop.
Then, this past winter, I finally figured out how to stop....bi-monthly manicures. It started right before my trip to St. Thomas in March. Two friends and I went out for a girl afternoon that included a glass of wine and manicure and pedicures. I loved the special treat and was hooked. After two months of manicures, I figured that I could do it myself for a tenth of the cost. Since then, weekly manicures chez Stephanie.
Check, check, number 28 is crossed off (sort of).
I wonder if there are any other bad habits that I should quit or is biting my nails enough that I can officially cross it off my list? Um...my addiction to Facebook and email? Being critical of others? Needing to be right? Cracking knuckles? Eh, one is good for now.
