You Should Know...

In light of me attempting to immerse myself in all things small-town-GA, I've been thinking a lot about my likes, dislikes, where I'll fit in, and if anyone will even want me as a part of their day-to-day world.

It may be narcissistic of me to think anyone cares, but I decided to compose a list of all things ME.  So, here, my friends (new and old!), are some random tidbits you should know...

*I hate to cook, and am terrible in the kitchen (see last post, ha!).  However, I love to bake... mostly because I like to eat any sort of uncooked batter/dough (helloooo salmonella) and also because every step is an exact measurement, which works much better for my Type-A personality.

*So I guess that was two-in-one since I threw in the little Type-A personality sidebar.  But it's true, unfortunately.  I can be pretty Type-A, OCD... though I do think I'm much more spontaneous and fun-loving than anyone believes!

*I kind of enjoy cleaning...

*And I LOVE grocery shopping.  Unless I have my toddler in tow.

*And speaking of that toddler, I'm obsessed with her.  She's pretty awesome.  And because of the hard times T and I have faced during our losses and constant battle with secondary infertility over the past 15 months, I am even more wrapped up in my daughter.

*I like red wine, a lot.  And beer, any beer, really.  But not liquor.  Well, except for margaritas... I looooove margaritas...

*I hate my feet.

*I think spending time with family and friends is just about as good as it gets.

*I fall asleep on the couch, every night, before we go to bed.  It's almost like I HAVE to fall asleep on the couch before I'm ready to go to bed.  My mom and sisters do, too... so blame it on my genes.

*I like to run, a lot.  It's my mental stress-reliever.  And also?  I run because I like to eat, more than I like to run.  (I would never be able to diet.)

*I find an immense amount of joy in doing things for other people.  Any hour of any day.

*I love surprises!

*No matter how full I am, there is always room for dessert.

*I consider myself to be a new-ish Christian.  Not that I haven't been a Christian my whole life, but I really and truly haven't explored Christianity, the bible, or my relationship with God until about seven years ago.  I have a lot to learn and a loooong way to go.

*I leave lights on, accidentally, all the time, and it drives my husband crazy.

*I think baths are kinda gross.  Unless there are bubbles and wine involved.  Then I understand.

*I love to sing, but literally have one of the worst voices you have ever heard.

*Country music is my jam.

*I could waste an entire day and one of my husband's paychecks in Target.

*I enjoy long road trips, as long as I'm not driving.

*I love the earth, but I hate when public bathrooms have hand dryers instead of paper towels.  Ain't nobody got time for that.

*I am a morning person, but am pretty much narcoleptic at night.

*Any sort of chips and dip is my weakness.

*And reality tv.  I'm a sucker for some bad reality tv.

*I wish I were crafty, but I'd rather pay someone to DIY for me.

*I really, really, really like olives.

*I'm a worrier.  One of my least favorite traits about myself!

*My hair used to be bleach blonde.  Many moons and too many highlights ago.

*I think when I grow up I want to be a college professor.

*Flying in a plane scares me.

*No matter how tired I am, I can never take a nap because I can't turn my brain off!

*I love the beach!!

*If you haven't already figured it out, I'm a pretty open book, about anything and everything.

*And I love having this blog as a creative, selfish, therapeutic outlet.  I'm impressed if you made it this far down my list of personal randoms!

Have a great week!!
