    DWD dancing while driving. I am that girl, I have the loud BOOM BOOM BOOM truck and I love to dance to the beat as I drive. People find me hilarious. I choose to see this as spreading good cheer and burning bonus calories. :laugh:

    I DO count dancing while driving---i dance like a looney bin down the highway---i enter it in as general dancing--but if i did it for 20minutes i only count 10 since im sitting.

    running between the closet and bathroom to see if you like what you're wearing and then running back to the closet to find something else to put on. oh yeah, this cycle continues for at least 3 outfits.:laugh:

    3. Jumping to conclusion's without knowing all the facts first.
    4. Running my mouth.
    and lastly
    5. Flying off the handle when I am angry.

    Mine would be walking into the kitchen, opening cabinet doors and refrigerator and freezer door looking for something to snack on then finding nothing I want, walking back into the living room and sitting back down to watch tv.

    Walking from the living room to the kitchen and back again just to drive my son nuts while he's on the computer (which is between the two rooms). :laugh: :laugh: His back is to me while I'm walking back and forth and he always gets suspicious, thinking I'm checking on what he's doing on the computer. :laugh: :laugh:

    Weighing yourself multiple times in a row hoping the number will eventually go down... Pretty exhausting if you ask me :frown:

    Tickling. My husband and I get into tickling fights almost daily. I hate it because it's so unfair. He just holds both of my wrists with one of his hands and I can do nothing about it. :P :)

    And currently... unwrapping easter candy can count too, right? ;)

    convincing hubs to go to the grocery store cuz we just need a few veggies to last until next payday (even though he thinks frozen corn every night is just fine). going to the store, getting home, unpacking and properly storing veggies only to find out that the one you really needed (carrots), you walked right by at the store without a second glance! convincing hubs to stop at the store on his way home from work tomorrow to get the gd carrots... oh, and some olive oil mayo (just ran out).

    Chasing one of the kids who has something they shouldn't have and won't give it back.

    typing and using the mouse.

    picking up toys 492 times a day.

    telling hubby to pick up his dirty socks. yelling and jumping telling him to pick up dirty socks. squating, picking up his dirty socks and putting in dirty laundry

    brushing, flossing and rinsing teeth 4 times a day (don't ask, dentist instructions)

    walking up and down the stairs to our 2nd floor apt.

    walking back and forth across apartment opening windows repeatedly since a certain boy likes to close them....

    And MOST of all, changing my 5 y/o's sheets (top bunk...)
