About Me: 20 Random Things

Just working on a list of things I want my kids to know. (It's really just stuff about me)

-----------

1. I prefer my tea half sweet and half unsweet.
2. I used to play tennis, was actually pretty good at it, and got to watch lots of pros play live when I was a kid.
3. I never make our bed in the morning but always straighten it up before going to sleep.
4. I have a fear of commitment to things like shoes, home decor, vehicles, etc...
5. I rarely read books but enjoy flipping through a magazine.
6. I'm a teensy bit ashamed of it, but I like my down time to be spent on the couch, in front of the TV. I LOVE TV. I would rather watch TV than do something active. It's just how I roll.
7. I'm a people pleaser and a peace keeper. I don't like confrontation but I do enjoy a nice debate every now and then.
8. I am a Christian but don't know near enough about the Bible. Even the parts I've read I don't retain well and can't seem to memorize.
9. I appreciate so many types of music... there's very few types I can't enjoy.
10. I'm not a huge fan of veggies but have really worked to add more to my palette over the past few years. I'm proud of that!
11. I'm a friendly, chatty introvert - an only child who loves to be with friends and family, as long as I can escape to some quiet every now and then.
12. I've had my ears pierced at least 3 times. I don't wear earrings, or much jewelry at all really. I almost always have toenail polish on though.
13. Some of the most fun I've ever had was being in or preparing for a show (ie: costume making)/concert/recital. There's something about the spotlight, the dark audience, the sound of your voice moving through the room, pretending to be someone else for a bit, and of course, the applause at the end. It just never got old.
14. I enjoy writing. I write much better than I can verbally tell a story. Oh my. Ask anyone, I'm horrible at it. 
15. I make a better 'right-hand man' than I do a 'boss'.
16. I love to cook and even more than that, bake. I don't do it near enough anymore.
17. I despise clutter and busy-ness. I like a clean, organized, minimalistic room with some cozy, homey touches.
18. I've been hit by a car and so has Dac. Let's hope Reid breaks the cycle!
19. I have a soft heart. It makes me sick to see someone hurting and there's rarely a dog we pass that I don't say hi to. I want for everyone to be taken care of.
20. I need a creative outlet. Whether that's snapping a photo, writing a blog post, or planning a room on pinterest.
