Last week I was on Facebook when I saw that a friend of mine was horrified to find out that her husband had inadvertently used her toothbrush. When I read this two things happened to me: First, I realized that not everyone shares toothbrushes with their significant others (which I totally do...especially when we go on trips...because I am OCD about packing light and YES IT REALLY DOES MAKE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE!). Second, I solidified my place as least-hygiene-conscious-individual-in-the-universe. Seriously. I am totally throwing myself under the bus here, I'm sure, but I did not even fully realize that these things were not completely normal.
I mean really. I wipe my boogers on my husband...and he gladly reciprocates. I am a lifelong nose-picker, but I try not to do it in public. I take 3 showers a week (that's one every 2-3 days, for you math lovers out there) and it seems to do me just fine. At times my leg hair has rivaled even the most gruesome of yeti creatures. I don't really have a problem with eating things off of "unclean" surfaces. And the number of times my dog has accidentally (read: completely on purpose because he is a MOLESTER) french kissed me would probably make some of you throw up a little.
Whew...that feels much better...do I have any fellow hygiene haters out there?
I am sort of a neat-freak, though...does that make up for all of the above nastiness? No? Oh, OK...just thought I would ask.

LOL I am so totally with you sister! I don't know what the big deal is... maybe we are the normal ones :)
Or the time you had a competition with Caity to see who could go the longest without taking a shower!! I know it was longer than 7 days!
ditto. i could never NOT pick boogers. how do people do it?? tonight, paul came downstairs with a string of floss and i literally could not remember the last time i flossed. i've never had a cavity so there ain't no shame in my game.
Please erase this from your blog before Evie reads it and vows to never take a bath! Lolly
My dog has had dried up poop stuck under its tail and I haven't removed it since I discovered it a couple days ago. How does that rate in your book?
i do all of the above. less showers, stab my boyfriend with my leg hair daggers, dropped a piece of chicken on the floor....yep right back into the skillet. and my finger occasionally wonders to my nose, and i am not even 10% percent embarrassed. i think people that DONT do these things have something to worry about...
I'm with Lolly on this! ERASE, DELETE IMMEDIATELY!!! You booger picking, hair growing, no showering Girlie-Girl!
Love, fresh smell-good hugs, and sanitary kisses to you ...

You know I am with you...and I am so glad Andrea recalled our fun little competition!
