So, this is my blog…

Ok, so my sister in law recently posted on her blog a list of 25 things about her and well she basically tagged anyone who read it so I thought why not. It could be fun to sit and think about 25 things you may be interested in knowing about me.

These are in no particular order:

1. I am a very habitual person. It is almost concerning. What I ate today, I will probably eat tomorrow and the next day and so on. It is very hard to break the habit but once it has been broken it is quickly replaced by a new one.

2. I fear commitment. I am a very loyal wife, mother, and friend, but if you ask me to commit to show up weekly to home group, bunco, Tupperware parties, or anything that involves small talk with tons of people I will run for the hills.

3. I am impulsive. I hate waiting for things. My unofficial new years resolution was to practice patience and it has been extremely challenging.

4. I would love to be a part of an ensemble like on Saturday Night Live.

5. I say “sorry” for everything. Even when I do not need to say sorry… it’s a habit. (see #1)

6. Although I was like 10 in the 80’s, I live for 80’s music. There is just something about it that touches my soul in a deep way. My heart is happy when 80’s music plays.

7. I hate small talk. It is so bad that I often times intentionally “forget” to take my sunglasses off in the grocery store to avoid awkward encounters with strangers. Having a baby makes this extremely hard.

8. I love good conversations. When one begins I never want it to end.

9. My husband is my best friend. We have known each other a long time and I love spending time with him. A good conversation with him is priceless to me.

10. I used to be a raging extrovert but now I have taken a turn towards a more introverted lifestyle.

11. Favorite Activities: playing tennis, poker, exercising to good music, dancing, laying out in the sun, and good conversations. Although I rarely do most of these things.

12. I ” Should” on myself a lot. I am constantly telling myself all the things that I should be doing and I end up to tired to do them because I am overwhelmed with all the should’s.

13. I love chocolate chip cookies. I could eat them everyday, and I pretty much do.

14. I actually hate shopping, but I love buying.

15. My favorite thing to do when I am sick is have homemade chicken noodle soup and watch “friends” until I fall asleep.

16. I think my husband is a better cook than me even though I cook most of the time. My favorite meal he makes is spaghetti and meat balls.

17. I can’t start a project until my house is clean and my bed is made, but this may change now that I have a baby.

18. I wish I was good at scrapbooking, or at least keeping a good record of special moments in my families life.

19. My favorite spring time vacation is Palm Desert. I have been going there since I was a baby and it is a very special place to me.

20. I love entertaining at my home. Despite being more introverted than I used to be I love having close friends and family over.

21. As challenging as it is, I love being a mom.

22. I generally try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Because I am a people pleaser to the core I will take blame before accusing anyone else.

23. I love the communication process. I love analyzing the way people interact with each other nonverbally and verbally. (knowing that I hate small talk, observing me at the grocery store might be entertaining. see # 7)

24. I am excited about the thought of creating something that others could enjoy. I have no idea what that is but the thought of it is invigorating.

25. I will only eat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. Of course I have tried many other flavors but none of them comfort me as much as plain vanilla and ice cream is pure comfort food.

Well, there you have it. It is not me in a nutshell by any means but it was definitely fun to expose this side of me.

Now you tell me some things about you.
