I am at a loss for something to blog about. There's nothing majorly exciting going on in my life (except the fact that I have run 4 days in a row now, and today will make 5, and that is a major accomplishment!). I don't have any great product reviews. I don't have anything to rant about (shocker, huh?) So, I thought I would tell you some things about me that you may not know.
1. I hate dust. It makes me gag, especially when it gets caught on the end of the broom. ugh.
2. I have road rage. Okay, if you know me, then you knew this already. WEG will not let me drive anywhere as he can't tolerate my yelling at other cars. I can't help it that other people are morons when they drive!
3. I dislike hunks of fruit in my food. I don't like ice cream or yogurt with hunks of fruit in it. Don't do fruit milkshakes or smoothies that have pieces of fruit in them. Don't get me wrong, I love fruit, just don't like it in small pieces mixed in my food.
4. I would like to live out in the country on several acres with no immediate neighbors. City life just isn't my thing. I would not mind commuting to work if I could live in the country, and definitely south of my current location. Upstate SC is just not for me. Oh, and I definitely want to be in SC.
5. I'm not sure if I ever want to have a child. At this point, I am scared to death of the thought. I have been told that my biological clock will start ticking one day, but I'm skeptical.
6. I am a plant killer. I don't try to be, but inevitably I forget to water it or something and it dies. The mum I had on my porch several weeks ago when I showed you my new wreaths is now half dead. It was halfway dead within a week of getting it....no bueno.
7. I listen to the Christian radio station pretty much 24-7 except for in the mornings while I am getting ready and then it's country. I love the contemporary Christian songs and know basically all the words to all the songs.
8. I am an only child, and to my knowledge, never wanted a brother or sister. Could it be that I was spoiled? Probably so.
9. I am often obsessive about lists and being organized. I am going to Clemson this weekend with WEG and currently have 3 lists going- one for the grocery store, one of things to pack, and one is a to-do list.
10. I love the Gamecocks and always will, but this year I have not been a good fan. I have not tailgated one.single.time. And I have only been to one game, and that is one I had to go to for work. Maybe it's the thought of how expensive it is to go tailgate and watch a game, or maybe it's the thought of our season ending like it always does- disastrously. Call me fair-weather, go ahead.
11. I haven't had a soft drink in 3 weeks. In fact, I have not had anything other than water, milk, wine, and a handful of beers. If you know how addicted I was to coke (the drink, not the drug) at one time, you'd find this amazing. Clearly I have kicked the caffeine addiction- woohoo.
12. My parents are my role models. They have always made sure I was taught good morals and Christian beliefs and they are great examples of strong Christian people. Everytime the church doors open they are there- not just for Sunday school and Church, but also for mission trips, bible studies, feeding shut-ins in the community, and teaching ESL.
That's enough little-known facts for now!
Hope you're having a great Wednesday :-) Halfway to the weekend!
We have a lot in common! I just recently started listening to WMHK lately. I love some of the praise and worship songs. It helps me with my road rage also! haha!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you on the running! I tried to get my run post up last night but got too tired. Hopefully can do that later this afternoon. I can't wait to hear your thoughts and tips too. I soak everything other runners say like a sponge!
Love your list! It is nice learning more about a blog friend! I applaud you for not having a soft drink in weeks! I am so addicted to Diet Coke. I need to stop drinking them, but it is so hard!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I am also a list maker. Whenever we go out of town I have to have a list or else I will forget something really important. I also feel you about the country living. I grew up on a ton of land in the middle of nowhere and even though Hubs and I are still in the middle of nowhere we do live in a housing development and it kills me. I like to be able to stand on my front porch and hollar and I just can't do that now.
ReplyDeleteFun reading! I also hate chunks of fruit in things like ice cream or whatever. I love fruit, too, but I prefer those other things to have a smooth texture. I'm an only child, too!
ReplyDeleteI like reading lists. :) I'm a plant killer too. I don't mean to be & I try really hard to keep them alive, but I think they have a suicidal death wish.
ReplyDeleteI'm just like you with the road rage. If people would just get out of my way, life would be grand.
Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCOMPLETELY agree with #2!!! Drivers in SC are INSANE! And congrats on not drinking soft drinks! I went pretty much the whole summer without Diet Coke, but now that school's back in I have to have my caffeine!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more with #3. I LOOOOVE fruit, but I hate chunks of it IN things. Like strawberry ice cream (one of my favorite flavors) with frozen strawberries actually in it... not a chance.
ReplyDeleteThe road rage one sounds like me, too! Clay drives everywhere because I am "too aggressive."
ReplyDeleteI'm an only child as well, and never wanted a sibling!
ReplyDeleteHa! Great list! I am 36 and not sure if I want children either...my clock has been ticking for a while and my husband and I seem to be the only ones not worried about it :)
ReplyDeleteWe have so much in common! I also never wanted a brother or sister, even though everyone always told me how bored I must be. And I get road rage even being a passenger, sometimes I just have to close my eyes and take deep breaths.
ReplyDelete2, 5, and 6. Agreed!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't keep a rock alive, let alone a plant. And I seriously am terrified of having children. Just doesn't sound appealing, and in fact is less appealing as more of my friends start having babies!
I kept reading your post and thinking, "Uh huh, uh huh, that's just like me!" I have road rage issues, too, although I've mellowed somewhat. I tend to be more competitive on the roads, and get irritated if cars pass me. It's ridiculous when I stop and think about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of living out of the city. I love having space!
And, I know what it's like to wonder about not wanting to have kids. Personally, I have been married for almost 5 years and am just now beginning to get the urge. I really enjoy being "selfish" and spending time with just my husband! I think because I come from such a big family, I dread the amount of work that will go into it. But, I also think that if I didn't have kids, I would regret it. It's a huge decision, and don't let anyone push you into making it :-)
Impressive on the soft drinks-I try not to have them either. xoxo
