About Me

Some things about me, by me. Because I want to remember what I thought of myself when I get really old. Like 35. Just kidding. Like 95.

• My favorite shoes of all time, in the whole entire world, are pictured above. I bought my first pair in Spring of 2001.
  

• My favorite music that makes me happy is "girl power" music, apparently. (According to the playlist put together by Pandora. Hey 95 year old me- Pandora is an Internet music thing. Trust me.)
• My favorite vegetables are butternut squash with goat cheese, baked yam fries, roasted asparagus, steamed broccoli, and peas.
• My favorite meat is a cheeseburger. That totally counts as meat.
• My favorite soda is Diet Pepsi.
  
• My favorite drink is cool water, no ice.
• My favorite household chore is vacuuming. Unfortunately I have not had carpet the last three years, and when our house is finished, it will have hard flooring.
• I can eat a large Little Caesar's Pizza by myself, on a good day. I currently restrain myself.
• I have anxiety attacks when I walk into a clothing store to shop for myself. For reals.
  
• I hate mail. It's the thing that I'm worst at: taking care of mail and paperwork.
• I want to exercise. But I don't. Many reasons. Three big ones: 4 kids 5 and under, live in a trailer with no floor space, and mountain lion scare.
  
• I yell too much at my kids. Actually, I yell at my girl (baby doesn't count) hardly at all. The boys have been unofficially declared hard of hearing. Hence, the yelling.
• I am a somewhat type-A personality. Except when it comes to a clean car and my kids wearing clean socks. Then I don't care. But I will admit my desire for "A's" was met when I found out my blood type is A+. It's a sickness.
  
• I stress unnecessarily about things that end up turning out just fine.
• I don't really like fruit, except for berries. Any berry. I guess apples are okay.
  
• I can eat a whole box of Cookie Crisp in an afternoon.
• My worst subject in school was biology. My favorite subject was PE. Followed closely by lunch.
• I made a job for myself this year- now I have to decide whether or not I want to do it. It's the preschool thing.
• I love to read.
• I am crazy. Not in that BASE jumping way, not in a street racing way, but in a "I had four children in less than five years and live in a trailer (for over three) and yet I'm still relatively sane about it." Maybe I'm just highly adaptable, not crazy.
• If you were to see me at a dance, I'd be standing against the wall, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. I spent many a slow dance in the bathroom because I wasn't asked to dance. And I was too scared to ask someone myself.
• I consider it a small miracle I ever got married. Only because I never thought about it growing up. I'm not sure what I was thinking of, I just know it wasn't about having a husband.
• I buy Christmas presents for myself. I prefer it that way.
