My 30 'Things'

I read someone else's 30 things and I thought it was be interesting to see if I could come up with 30 things about myself that not EVERYBODY knows....hmmm, we'll see how this goes...

1. I'm super slow at putting pictures up on here or Facebook. Pictures usually sit on my memory card until I can't fit any more on there.


2. I often talk to myself....a lot

3.I absolutely hate the "C" word...if you don't know what I'm talking about, it refers to a women's body part but I find being called it is very degrading.

4. Some people have a fear of throwing up...not this girl! Ever since I was little, if its going to make me feel better, I'll do it. It's just one of those facts of life things that happens sometimes and I just deal with it. Don't get me wrong, I DO NOT do it on a regular basis but like I said, if its going to make me feel better, why not?

5. I've become quite the germ freak over the past few years. Maybe it's because I spent some time in some fraternities in my college days or because I moved to the city for a while and saw some pretty gross stuff...Idk but I have 2 bottles of hand sanitizer in my purse, a few in my house and a giant one on my desk at work. I have the wipes in my car and I ALWAYS use them after coming out of a store or public place.

6. I love doing laundry! I love the sorting, washing, drying, hanging/folding...the catch is I'm very anal about how it's done. Ask my husband, he thinks I'm crazy. I like things folded a certain way and if they get folded otherwise, I'll refold them (again ask the hubs). I may be OCD but whatever.
7. I know the words to a million songs, probably the artist as well and around the time it came out. My mom says if I had applied this skill to school, I'd be a doctor (yeah right!)

8. I love kids, and kids usually love me. I have rarely found a wee one that doesn't like me and have been called the "baby whisperer". That may sound weird and a bit creepy (maybe) but it's true. My friends have always called me the "mommy". I like to take care of people and am always worrying about everyone else. As of now, I don't have any kids of my own but I hope to someday and for the time being I love babysitting, play with and visit my friend's kids and the best part is I can give them back. haha!
9. I want to get better at photography...I'm waiting for my husband to buy me a sweet digital SLR camera. I have a nice digital one and a point and shoot but I really like the quality of DSLR.

10. I really miss my grandpa...he was my best friend and its still hard to think that he's not home, sitting in his chair, watching CSPAN and sneaking chocolate.
11. I clean when I'm angry.

12. I hate feeling unsafe and I kind of do where we live. I don't like that feeling.

13. I eat chocolate every day. Not a lot, but probably a piece a day. It keeps me sane :)

14. I get horribly car sick unless I'm behind the wheel, especially in the back seat. I've gotten better as if gotten older but it still happens from time to time.
15. I only have 2 piercings and they are in my ears.

16. I have a hard time parting with clothes. Even if I don't wear them any more I always find a reason for keeping them. I need to go through my closest this week and I'm dreading it...

17. Even though sometimes I complain that I work most weekends (at least one of the days) I really don't like sitting around all that much. I get that from my mother, always have to be doing something.

18. I find it nearly impossible to leave Target without having made some sort of impulse purchase.

19. I don't know if I could never not work...I often think about what I want to do when we have kids and from talks we've had I think hubs would like it if I stayed home but I just think I'd go stir crazy. Maybe I'll change my mind...

20. I love to organize and clean, but I'm hopelessly messy. Especially when it comes to my car.

21. My mind never stops wandering and I get side tracked a lot.

22. Along with wanting to get better at photography, I also want to get better at editting it (aka Photoshop efficiency)

23. I love baths but rarely think about taking one.

24. I detest doing the dishes.

25. I could watch/listen to Chelsea Lately for hours.

26. Fear of failing often keeps me from trying new things.

27. I can almost always find something to be nervous or worried about. Not my favorite character trait.

28. I want to learn to knit and crochet.

29. I love reading but sometimes I loose myself too far into a book and when I'm finished with it, it takes me a long time to get over it. Take the last Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, for example. I got so engrossed in it that when it was done, it took me a couple months to want to read again. Granted it was a looooong book but I had a hard time, when I let my mind wander, from thinking about it. Right now, I'm taking a break from reading my favorite section of the bookstore, romance novels (no, not the dirty ones!) and am reading George W. Bush's book, Decision Points. I'm really enjoying it (on my new Kindle ;])

30. I used to be a person that let people walk all over me so they would like me and I let myself be used but after being in a sorority in college, I changed. I'm not longer that person and at times the complete opposite, I'm too hard. Nowadays, if you burn me, you have a fat chance at gaining any respect back. I tell people what I think and don't take shit. I'm learning to be a little more in between than too soft or too hard but I think it's going to be a loooong work in progress.
