Sisters chat about: Habits

 Esther:  Today I thought we'd talk about habits.
 Maude:  Uh oh.
 Esther:  bad habits, good habits, all kinds of habits!
What would you consider your own worst or most annoying habit?
 Maude:  Golly.  This is hard!  I think you shouldhave given us a heads-up about thequestions this week!!
 Lizzi:  I think for me it would be procrastination toward about everything
 Maude:  I think my biggest problem is lack of GOOD habits!
 Lizzi:  Would that be considered a habit?
Procrastination, I mean?
 Esther:  Well, one of mine is never measuring things. When you make bread it is a good idea to know how much flour is going in, ya know?
 Maude:  Like I need to exercise more, take vitamins better, floss more, etc.
I think procrastination could be considered a habit, Lizzi.
 Esther:  I also habitually eat bad when my husband is not around.  Krispy kreme anyone?
 Lizzi:  Yeah, sweets intake is definitely a  bad habit of mine
Especially with my afternoon coffee...

 Maude:  Sweets for me too.
 Maude:  But not Krispy Kreme.  Yuck, doughnuts are gross!
(Yum, Lizzi!)
 Lizzi:  Your husband makes exceptional donuts, Maude!
 Esther:  Really, Maude? What about a HOT krispy kreme? I had never had one till I moved here. Changed my life (now it is full of a lot more krispy kreme!)
 Maude:  Hot, cold, fresh or day old - doughnuts are STILL gross!
But they do make me rhyme apparently!
 Esther:  Next question:  what is one of your best habits?
 Maude:  This is like a job interview question!  What is your biggest strength?  Your biggest weakness?  I am bad at those too!
 Esther:  hahaha
 Maude:  Hard, hard, hard...
 Esther:  I make my bed every morning first thing, before I brush my teeth or go to the bathroom (well, most mornings...) That has been one of the best habits I ever started.

 Esther:  I also randomly break out singing in public. I think a lot of people would put that in the "bad habit" category I think it belongs with the "good habits"
Maude:  Drinking lots of (and mostly only) water.
 Lizzi:  flossing my teeth every night.. haha!
 Esther:  Those are great habits!
 Lizzi:  I also now put on eye cream and face cream (to combat those quickly approaching wrinkles!) morning and night
 msther:  wow! That's awesome. I wish I were that good about such things. I barely brush my hair!
 Lizzi:  It's sheer necessity, my dear.
 Maude:  I only do facial/eye creams three or four times a week.  I need to get better.  You are young enough Es that it is a little early to worryabout it yet.
Yeah right, Liz!
 Esther:  I don't know! The sooner the better I am sure
What is a good habit you have formed with your children?
 Maude:  Memorizing scripture
 Esther:  We pray with little man before naps & bedtime
 Maude:  My husband tells them a LOT of Bible stories and we pray throughout the day.
 Lizzi:  Bible time at night, with prayers and a nightly chorus of 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus' before sleep
 Esther:  I love those ladies!
 Maude:  I get into troubleif we hear a siren and I don't immediately startpraying for the person!
 Esther:  Going on family walks is a big part of our days
 Maude:  Those kids are task masters!
 Esther:  That's great Maude!
 Lizzi:  Haha! That's great!
 Esther:  That's great Maude!
 Lizzi:  Haha! That's great!
We like to look at the VOM map and pray for the persecuted countries highlighted
 Maude:  That's great, Liz.  I love that idea
 Esther:  It is good to hear what you all are doing and get different ideas!
 Maude:  (Es, add that she means "Voice of the Martyrs" in case people don't kow wht she is talking about)
 Esther:  Yes, I had to ask Andrew!
he knew
well, ladies that is all I have
