Strange Eating Habits

Posted by PumpkinBear, June 19, 2008 at 2:44 AM

It occurred to me today as I ate my dinner in bed that I have some strange eating habits. Not strange as in, "I eat weird food," but strange as in the things I do while eating are bizarre.

I LOVE eating in bed. I know it's gross and indulgent and some would argue messy (though I'm good about not spilling), but it's such a comfort thing for me. I don't do it everyday, just when I've had a crappy day.

I also like to lay on the floor and eat. I used to do it when I was a kid and it started up again when I spent a great deal of time with my toddler nieces, who also enjoy doing this while on the front porch. Your bowl or plate (or whatever) is on the floor and you're on your tummy. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really not.

Lastly, and this is the way I eat most often, I stand at the kitchen counter and pick at my food. I cook dinner for my family pretty much everyday and I serve them and they sit and eat like normal humans. I do this thing where I serve myself a plate and then stand around the kitchen taking bites, wondering off to feed the cat, taking a bite, checking my e-mail. That sort of thing.

Am I a total freak or does anyone else have any strange eating habits?
