10 Things About Me

I thought I would try a little self-reflection today, here goes...

10 Things About Me (the good, the bad, and the quirky)

1. When I am super excited about something, I can't sleep out of excitement and wake up waaaay too early! I wake up early anyways, but those restless nights push me out of bed before the sun is even up!

2.  I bite my nails, especially when I am nervous or stressed out. It's such a hard habit to break, and at least half of the time I am winning the battle, but one bad day can ruin all of my hard work.

3.  My dad raised me with the motto of "early is on-time, on-time is late." I try to run late, but it takes a lot of effort. I am pretty punctual and so is my husband, so we are normally early- err on-time- everywhere we go.

4.  I am a list maker. I often make the same exact list twice, and I even put things on my list that have already been done just so I can cross it off. It's all about the feeling of accomplishment.

5.  I pretend to be a neat freak. BUT I am so not. Well, at least not on all levels, especially my car! Things are never clean enough or straight enough. I have a pack-rat fear and am constantly throwing things away.

6.  Any dish with cheese, avocado, artichokes or mushrooms in it entices me. Throw all four of them together and then I am really hooked.

7.  I secretly want to be a dancer. My parents put me in every sport as a child, and now as an adult I wish I had learned to play the piano and had become a real life ballerina instead.

8.  I am a really bad decision maker. I mull over the same decision for days, weeks, months longer than I should, before I even consider making a decision. And this is true for all of my decisions. I guess you could call me a cautious maximizer (or perfectionist), as opposed to a satisficer. Ths is a very interesting topic that many smart people have studied, if you want to read more about it look here.

9.  If I could be anything, money aside of course, I would be a wedding planner. The places I could see, the people I could meet, and the possibilities I could create for each event are endless. Even more so, it fits my personality and would without a doubt challenge me while allowing me to see so many beautiful things!

10.  When I go to Heaven, I really truly believe that all of my past pets will be waiting ready to welcome me in. Kind of quirky, I know, but I have to believe that the love they showed me was channeled from our Father in Heaven, such unconditional and forgiving love.

Please, please, please feel free to share 10 things about yourself with me. You can post them in a comment. I am sure you will enjoy doing it as much as I did!
