As many of you know, I have been experimenting with some severely curtailed Internet usage. I realized that I had gotten into some bad habits, which got me thinking about habits in general. I understand that a habits/random facts meme has already been going around. In the hopes that it hasn't hit too many of us yet, be as lighthearted or as serious as you'd like with the following:
1. Have you ever successfully quit a bad habit, or gotten a good habit established? Tell us about how you did it.
2. "If only there were a 12-step program for _________________!"
3. Share one of your healthy "obsessions" with us.
4. Share the habit of a spouse, friend or loved one that drives you C-R-A-Z-Y.
5. "I'd love to get into the habit of ___________________."
Bonus: What is one small action you might take immediately to make #5 a reality?
Bonus 2: Try it, and let us know how it goes in a future post!
As always, let us know in comments if you play. Even better, get in the habit of posting a direct link to your blog entry in your comment, using the following formulation:
<a href="the url of your blog post goes here">what you want the link to say goes here</a>
For a complete how-to, click here.
(Also consider linking directly to your post, not your homepage. Some of us read the F5 days after the fact, and by then it has scrolled down or even off the homepage!)
and here's mine
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I won't be near the computer today to read all of your responses. I'll get there!

ReplyDeletehabits - sigh -I think time on the computer is one of them. How to kickit and how to find something healthier is indeed the question.
ReplyDeletebut don't go looking for it look for it at my place - I'm busy reading everyone else's replies!

I played!
ReplyDeleteI have played! It's not a VERY bold experiment, my #5, but I am leery of doing too much at once and causing myself to have a nervous breakdown!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to read my post to find out what I am talking about!
I indulged in my Friday 5 habit
ReplyDeletehere.
Here I am
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness is it that late already? I'll be back to read later. I have to go deal with my son's habit of wanting breakfast every morning.
Alright, I'll be brave and stop lurking long enough to say that I played too!
ReplyDeleteI played!
ReplyDeleteI played today.
ReplyDeleteCan't play today--this topic literally makes me ill.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was early but I'm just getting my two cents in now.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting to be a bad habit!
I gave this a little thought over at The Kitchen Door. Thanks for the questions, they're kind of a loving cattle prod.
ReplyDeleteI played! What a great Friday Five -- although I can't quite believe it's Friday! I should write that sermon now...
ReplyDeleteThanks reverend mother for a timely reminder on a few things- I played here
ReplyDeleteI played, and check out my new (virtual) liturgical knuckle tattoos!
ReplyDeleteSince Friday Five is becoming a habit ;-), I played here.
ReplyDeleteMags
Love the shout out to the Chicago 17 album!
ReplyDeleteI played here!
I actually am doing this on a Friday!
ReplyDeleteI played here.
ReplyDeleteSuffering a bit today, from a lack of certain good habits, I indulged the bad habit of procrastination with this delightful Friday Five here.
ReplyDeleteGotta get into the habit of playing first, then reading ... which I did today here
ReplyDeleteI've been MIA lately - crazy month, May - but I did have a chance to play today. Here you go.
ReplyDeleteHere's my contribution
ReplyDeleteI talked about not playing here. This Friday Five is serving as a rather prolonged kick in the arse for me, Rev. Mother! I'm sorry I can't thank you yet! :)
ReplyDeleteWEll, I did play here
ReplyDeletehere.
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!
I posted and if I do say so myself, "I" look GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI kicked the habit here
ReplyDeleteIt's the laundry that languishes...and still is right this second!
ReplyDeleteI am starting a twelve step program for procrastinators. Talk to me next week...
ReplyDeletemy two cents
For another Laura-esque combo of play and big news, come by
ReplyDeletemy place.
Right here.
ReplyDeleteSome people read the F5 late; others of us post late. I'm on that list, over here.
ReplyDeleteAm I too late? If anyone is still out there, here it is.
