Finish the Sentence Friday Blog Hop 31

Filed Under: Married Life, Writing/Blogging Tagged With: , ,

Welcome back to Finish The Sentence Friday Blog Hop (FTSF).  We give you a sentence and you finish it (however long or short you’d like).  Please feel free to link up and follow any or all of our hostesses, which are below.

We have a very special announcement to make tonight.  We now will have a very, wonderful brand new co-host joining our ranks in the form of Kristi from Finding Ninee.  I just love this lady and seriously couldn’t be happier or more excited that she is going to indeed join us from now on!

But it is definitely bittersweet, because Dawn will be leaving us after this week, but totally understand why.  However, she has agreed to continue to linkup and join us when she can, but she just will not be co-hosting any more due to other obligations.

And now for this week’s sentence to finish:  “I have a bad habit of...”
And the next sentence to finish:  “I used to love…”

I have a bad habit of…

FTSF 31 #3

First off, I will be the first to admit that i am not perfect.
 

And I am the first to say I am sorry when I do do or say something wrong.

I think I mentioned this here before that Kevin, on the other handmade, rarely says these words.
 
So to him, I think he would gladly tell you I say I am sorry way too often and too much.
 
Might be so, but again he doesn’t say it enough.
 

The other thing I have been told and mentioned here is that I am indecisive not being able to make up my mind very often.

If you give me a choice, I can drag my feet with the best of them to make a decision.
 
Like I said in previous posts like here, it is a true sign that I am a Gemini.  The twin aspect really gets the best of me at times.
 
Even the simple decision of what is for dinner can vex me.
 
Seriously before we had kids, we used to go out to dinner at least one night a weekend.  
 
Kevin would always ask me where I would want to go.  And he knew full well unless it was lent (then we would go to a little place called Olive Garden), he was in for at least a half hour of me debating this and then usually finally telling him to decide if we were still to go out for food.
 
Drove him crazy every time, but still would ask for some ungodly reason.
 
So I guess in grand scheme of things, I have two bad habits with saying I am sorry too much and not being able to make up my mind.
 
These Are My Bad Habits!
These Are My Bad Habits!
 

So now that I have told you mine, what are your bad habits??

    Actually figuring out where to go for dinner is hard! For me, there's what I know I want (that nobody else wants), what I know my husband wants (that nobody else wants) and what our son wants (that we end up all eating). Fun post! Thanks so much for letting me be a new cohost!!!

    • Janine Huldie says

      See that is exactly what I am talking about Kristi and has only gotten harder once we did add the kids into the mix, too! Thanks for making me feel a bit better that it isn't just me. And really so glad to have you as our newest co-host!! Very excited about it and thank you again for joining us!! 🙂

    Funny you mention this, I am reading the Highly Sensitive Child, and this is a major characteristic. My daughter is exactly like this. If we go the bookstore, she agonizes over the decision of which book to buy…. maybe you're just highly sensitive? 🙂

    Janine, we simply have to meet one of these days! I also say sorry way too much (I hate fighting and always first to apologise…usually). Just like an argument "closed" – if you know what I mean! Also very, very indecisive sometimes and I also drive Geoff up the wall. Haha. Have a lovely weekend. It's a long one here and it's Women's Day today 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Melanie, I would love if we could meet up and seriously does sound like we are so very similar on so many different levels now and this just confirms what I already knew though that I am so very happy that we are friends!!! Happy Women's Day and have a great long weekend now!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      I know it is definitely hard to write about them Christina, but these were the two that came to my mind immediately when I started writing. Thank you so much for joining us again and so happy to have you back now with us!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Robin, I could see that, but it is just so who I am I suppose. But I do agree with you that I do think there are definitely times where it is so very necessary and know a few people, including my husband that just don't say it enough. Not sure what that means, but still!!

  13. NuggetOnABudget says

    So great that Kristi is joining as a co-host! I also have a horrible time making decisions most of the time. My sister is even worse! It can take her a hour in the dressing room when trying to decide if she likes a piece of clothing. Then, she has to decide whether or not to buy it lol. For me, I always hate when RJ asks me what I want to do or where I want to go out for dinner, because I'd rather him just decide or at least give me a few options to narrow down my choices. But he never does lol! So I feel you on this one. I also have the worst habit of procrastinating. Or basically just wanting to do something like a craft and never finding time to do it. I have NO idea how I can be OCD and still procrastinate, especially where cleaning is concerned !! Happy Friday mama!

    • Janine Huldie says

      I know with giving the choice for dinner. I am with you Kera on wanting Kevin to at the very least give me options. I need choices and not just a blanket statement of "You Decide". And I sadly can relate to your sister though, because sometimes I too have no shopping agenda and forgot that when writing this post. That is another thing that can drive Kevin crazy, going shopping with me, lol!! Happy Friday right back at you and seriously hope that rain goes away for us now!!! 🙂 xoxo!!

  16. maggieamada says

    I think one of my many many bad habits is the opposite of yours – I make decisions quickly and then, I insist on sticking with them.
    My recent post Actually, This Is The Worst Habit

    • Janine Huldie says

      Like I said to Maggie, I am far too afraid that I will regret the decision (even something small and trivial) that I then have trouble making up my mind. Might be a switch though to just decide first and then worry later. Total food for thought, Dana!! 🙂

  18. katbiggie says

    I have no bad habits. I'm perfect. Seriously! Hahahahaha. So I take on too much and get in way over my head. I don't put things away after I use them and that drives my hubs NUTS! And I could go on and on and on!
    My recent post A Place I Belong

  19. Erin Callaway says

    Happy Friday! I am with you on not being able to make a decision. I really need a push everytime that I am faced with something. I used to do the same thing with restaurants! Now that we don't go out as often I am a little better at voicing my opinion!!!

    Have a great weekend Janine!

    PS – I will contact you next week about the back up details!!! Thanks
    My recent post Finish the Sentence Friday – Week 31

    • Janine Huldie says

      Happy Friday to you, too. And seriously thanks for sharing this, because I always think it is just me who has trouble making up my mind, but you are right nowadays it isn't as hard with this, because with the kids it usually ends up being a kid friendly place like Friendly's. But when we have gone out just the two of us, we have hit into this a bit still I suppose. And definitely contact me when you have time about the backup!! 🙂

  20. tamaralikecamera says

    Now, why am I not surprised about Finding Ninee?! I love Kristi too. This blogging world – just gets better and better. I always set aside a good time to visit your blog every morning you post because I know I'm going to want to read each word. Twice.
    Anyway, I have a bad habit of being passive aggressive when I'm angry at family members. Luckily it doesn't extend to friends or..shudder…Facebook. Don't you love when your friends have passive aggressive status updates?! Not. When I'm mad at my husband it's hard to just tell him. Instead I nearly explode.
    My recent post You're Extraordinary.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Tamara, I feel the same way about your reading your blog and always love to read a new post from you, too. And yet again we have this is common, I usually will let thing go until I am ready explode. My poor husband sometimes too is at the end of that wrath!! But definitely can see over and over why I truly love you so much, because yet again we have more in common here!! And yes you are so right about Kristi, too!! 🙂

      • tamaralikecamera says

        I feel the same way! More each time. It's funny because I saw your name here and there on mutual blogger friends' posts for a long time and I remember thinking, "Oh, I hope we 'meet' each other soon. She seems so cool!" So glad it happened.
        My recent post You're Extraordinary.

      • Janine Huldie says

        Tamara, I know I actually thought the same thing and here we are now. So thankful and happy that we did get to know each other and are friends, because we really have way too much in common to not be!!! 🙂

  21. Ruchira says

    Janine, feels so good to have the pandora box open cause honestly, I have the same traits.

    Actually, after having a kid, I have become more indecisive and it annoys me that I do have have my opinion and always banks on my family to make decisions with regards to going out, shopping etc.

    Happy Friday & voted for ya!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh so happy to help open Pandora's Box, Ruchira and I know I think being a mother we just tend to go more with the flow, which leads to us letting everyone sometimes make these kinds of decisions for us!! Thanks as always and Happy Friday right back at you!! 🙂

  22. pictimilitude says

    Dang, my bad habit is that I chew my nails when I'm nervous, lol
    Happy friday! I hope you have a wonderful day/weekend. I'll try to get in a blog post this weekend. 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh Emma just started bitting her nails. I have never done this myself, but when I asked her why, she told me because she can! Seriously got to love little kids answers. And do hope to see a post from you, but know you are busy. Just happy to see you stop by today. Happy Friday Cyndi!! 🙂

  23. realhousewife says

    Janine those aren't even anything I'd consider a bad habit!

    My worst habit is not using my brain filter. Everyone knows exactly what I'm thinking because I say it before I have a chance to edit or you know, change all the words around so it can be all passive aggressive and construed as "nice". I'm vulgar about stuff…I know, I need to clean my mouth up:) lmAo. Ain't gonna happen soon probably:)

    • Janine Huldie says

      Lol, after the morning I have had I so needed your response Kelly. Seriously, I forgot having a bit of a vulgar mouth at times, too. I do edit myself when possible, but the language not always the classiest I suppose, but then you can so relate!! 🙂

  25. jamie@southmainmuse says

    Janine — another bad habit I can sooo relate to, In fact, I made it a goal at the beginning of the summer to be more decisive. Oops. And I have forgotten it till I read your post. Thanks for the reminder and good luck to the both of us on making up our minds quickly. And sticking with it.

  29. Lanaya says

    Bad habits? … No, just awesome character flaws that of course we both share!
