I’m feeling a bit sick today and so will answer this survey in lieu of a “tips” entry. Bear with me! Thanks to Peepai for this idea.
SEVEN DEADLY SINS
ANGER
1. Who did you last get angry with?
Hmmm. Yesterday I got mad at H, we had a mini-fight. It was resolved in 5 minutes. We can’t stay mad at each other for a long time.

Only if threatened.
4. How about of the same sex?
Only if threatened.
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you?
See #1.

People interrupting me when I’m talking. Hello! I wait for you to finish your sentences before I make my point, why not do the same for me and for others?
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily?
I carry grudges but not for a long time. I can forget quite easily but forgiveness takes some time.

Exercise. Eep. There goes my 21-day-habit.

I don’t give lame excuses.
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones)?
Oh yes. The one I watched yesterday was The Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine by George Foreman. I was actually convinced but didn’t have the heart to use my credit card to buy it.

5. Do you have an issue with your weight?
Yes. Though records say that my weight is within the range that’s healthy for me, I still feel I’m terribly too heavy.

Spicy. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and salty food makes me bloated.

Rich.

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
