40 random things about me if you care.

Um, 40 things are you kidding? I will do my best.

1. I am sensitive. I have definitely found this to be both an advantage and disadvantage in my life.

2. I feel guilty watching T.V. I feel like it's a waste of time so I try to only watch a little here and there.

3. I LOVE playing indoor soccer. It's a release for me when I am stressed or anxious. I look forward to playing and it's seriously the highlight of my week.

4. I very much dislike winter and the cold. I am always complaining about the cold and I think it may get a little annoying to people who are around me. I daydream about living by the beach or somewhere tropical someday.

5. I get the hiccups a lot. At least twice a day, every day. I don't know why I get them so easily, I'm still trying to figure it out.

6. I love cheese. Yum. Anything with cheese in it I will eat, I crave it frequently.

7. I cannot sleep with the covers tucked in, it drives me crazy. I have to have my feet and arms out of the covers or I get costrophopic.

8. I am a dreamer. I tend to make big outrageous goals, not following through with a majority of them, but I like to plan and wish on things. I always want to do and experience everything.

9. I don't necessarily like rules.

10. I am shy by nature. I may not seem it to some because I hide it well. I put forth a conscious effort to talk to people and put myself in different situations at work and other things I've done.

11. I am extremely hard on myself.

12. I love teaching the gospel.

13. I'd usually rather eat something salty than sweet.

14. I love change.

15. I like to exercise and play sports. It helps me to feel more confident and good overall.

16. I am very competetive in almost everything.

17. I am looking forward to retirement. Already. It's not that I don't like working or being busy. I just wish I had more time for hobbies and doing things when and where I want to do them. I wish people didn't have to work so much.

18. I still want to be a park ranger. I wanted to when I was little, and I still want to. I would love to be a tour guide somewhere or give those cool slideshows at the campgrounds. I want to wear the cool green outfit with the big hat, that would be awesome.

19. I want to be a triathlete.

20. I am cuddly. I love affection. I have a hard time sleeping without my husband beside me.

21. I like helping people find other people who can help them, who are helped by other people etc... Did that make sense? I am a social worker, that's what I do!

22. I am good at faking confidence.

23. I don't really like to wear make-up. I am fairly low maintenance and enjoy hanging out in my sweats and hair in a pony-tail.

24. I love small towns. People seem more laid back and friendly.

25. I play the guitar and sing. I'm always wishing I'd have more time and mostly money to take lessons and get better at it.

26. When I set my mind to something or decide on something, I think about it CONSTANTLY.

27. I like to walk around Target and look at things, even if I don't buy anything.

28. I am baby hungry. There, I said it.

29. I have a very difficult time with very "flaky, wishy-washy" people.

30. I have a few really close girlfriends and I find that I miss them a lot.

31. I love talking to people who are different than me. I love learning about other cultures and hope to travel more someday.

32. I fall asleep in 80% of the movies I watch, even if it's a good movie. I sit down, get comfy and BAM!, I'm out.

33. I am a huge fan of "The Biggest Loser"

34. I am suprisingly blunt sometimes. Not all the time, just sometimes I say things that are very blunt and straight forward to someone, and I think.."Did I just say that?"

35. I like to eat everything on my plate, it bugs when people only eat like four bites of their meal. I pretty much lick the plate clean.

36. I LOVE the sun. It makes me extremely happy to be out in the sun all day long. I love laying out and swimming.

37. I am a pretty deep sleeper, and I have very weird weird dreams, most of which I remember.

38. I like asking questions and hearing people opinions on things.

39. I don't like my feet. My toes are very stubby and short, and fat. If you saw just me from my ankles down, you would think I was 250 lbs. Really. And besides that, I don't like feet in general. I don't like looking at other people's feet. I don't like touching feet. I just don't like them.

40. I love FACTS. I love learning about things that I had no idea about before.

I tag ALL of my fellow bloggers.

Ruthie! I loved the post. Thanks for sharing, it's nice to get to know you better. And we have a few things in common I didn't know about, like #8, being a dreamer of outrageous ideas. I come up with about one a day! #4 - Who needs cold weather at all. #9, #10, Boy, I better consider this tag!

You are such a cool person. I miss you and our walks.

Susan said...

That was a good read! I think I knew most of those things, but a few were new to me. What a cool sister I have! Love ya!

Nancy said...

The cheese obsession you get from me. And I think your feet are lovely. Actually, I don't think I've ever looked intently at your feet--at anyone's feet...except Susan's, when she was little, because they were so huge. But they aren't now. Anyway, we enjoyed reading about our complex wonderful middle daughter whom we love very much.

I knew all those facts, especially about the weird dreams because you talk about them in your sleep. But you left one fact out: #1 You and your husband are deeply in love:) That comment is cheezy enough for awhile!
