Upon arriving home from our date

According to my husband, it only takes 21 consecutive days of doing something before that something becomes a habit. I don’t know where he got this particular tidbit but it’s his plethora of head-scratching factoids that often makes me feel like I don’t know him very well, which in turn helps with the Marital Excitement Continuum.

“So, what you’re telling me,” I asked him, “is that 21 days of going to the gym every day and I’ll be addicted to the gym?”

“S’what I’m sayin’.”

“So, let’s say that I’m a bitch to you every day for 21 days…

“…On day 22, you won’t even have to think about it anymore.”

LOL! I thought MY husband was the only one who said this. He has been telling me the “21 day rule” for years!!!

But would you really want it to be habitchual (yeah, I did it; whatchu gonna do)? Wouldn’t you want to be able to conjure the bitch outta nowhere?

I have found this rule works better for bad habits than good ones!

I’m with Jenn. 21 days of peanut m&m’s? No problem. 21 days of the gym? BS.

Yeah. Tried the gym thing for 21 days. Didn’t work so well.

I always heard 28 days. No matter. I doubt I’ll ever do anything that good for me for even 7 days.
