More about me

SO I kind of stole this idea from a friend, I am not going to exactly follow what she did, I doubt I have the patience to list a hundred things about myself and I doubt that there is even 100 things that are interesting enough to publish about me.

1. Obviously I have a very low self esteem, you can tell from the above comment. I know this and do try to work on it when I remember to. This stems from some incidences in childhood that I chose not to mention publicly do to the trouble it could cause if certain persons read this blog.
2. I am an Internet junkie, I only watch 2-3 hours of televisions a week. Part of this is because we only have one television and part is because I find soap operas and reality shows insipid for the most part.
3. My favorite smell is wood smoke. As long as it isn't someones house burning down anyway.
4. I like to write poetry, it is not always great or grammatically correct, but I find it relaxing and sometimes cathartic. I like writting silly poems too, which i assure you, you will be seeing very soon.
5. The smell of Old Spice and Aqua Velva remind me of my Grandpa Gardner. It evokes many wonderful memories of sitting next to him in church and hearing him sing "How Great Thou Art" and "The Old Rugged Cross".
6. I have a love/hate relationship with my very wild, uncontrollable hair. It is very thick and curly and my mom and sister are constantly telling me how horrible I look with long hair and that I should get it cut.
7. I love having my hair washed and brushed. I melt right into the chair I am sitting in when someone does either to me. For some reason it Reilly seems to ease my tensions.
8. My 3 favorite flowers are tulips, Gerber daisies, and pansies.
9. I am a meat and potatoes girl. I love a nice pot roast with homemade mashed potatoes and peas.
10. The idea of even TRYING sushi makes me gag
11. My step dad was in a hard rock/heavy metal band so although I like most kinds of music (you can keep disco and rap/hip hop) a am a metal head at heart.
12. My hubby is nosey as all get out about what I am doing when I am on the computer but I still love him.
13. I have one older brother (3 yrs) and two younger sisters that are fraternal twins (8 yrs)
14. I know for certain I have ADHD although I have never been officially dx'd with it. I am easily distracted, often impatient for results, and get bored with projects quickly. I was often called an "airhead" or "space cadet" as a child because of meanderings into my own little world.
15. I am a pepsi/coke-aholic. I do not like the taste of coffee not mater how much sugar or milk is added to it therefor, I get my caffeine the next best way.
16. I have terrible nasal and eye allergies - fresh cut grass, flowers, trees, and the chemicals I have to use at work.
17 I have been smoking since I was 14 years old. I am trying to quit but am not doing a great job of it.
18. My favorite show as a child was "The Muppet Show" and my favorite characters were the Swedish Chef, Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.
19. I still laugh my head off every time I see an episode of the above mentioned show.
20. My favorite Cheech and Chong movie is "Up In Smoke". My favorite parts is when the stoned cop is directing traffic and when they are on stage singing "Mama talkin to me tryin to tell me how to live..." Gotta love that Tutu get up!
21. I have 4 children two of whom have some serious issues so life is never dull around my house.
22. I have done Relay for life for the past 3 years and plan to continue to do it as long as I am still able to walk.
23. I collect pop tabs for our local RMHC....They were so good to my family when my daughter was in the hospital for 5 weeks and although I cannot pay they monetarily for their kindness, I do what I can to help them.
24. Sometimes I think my hubby is my youngest child.
25. I often find it hard to make friends, my upbringing often leaves me questioning the motives of others and makes it hard for me to open up about myself sometimes. Another issue I am trying to work on.
26. I have never learned how to drive. I have a major phobia not that I will hit someone but that someone will hit me and I will be unable to avoid it.
27. I am afraid of spiders.
28. I have worn glasses for what seems to be eons and just got my first pair of bi-focals. I think I look weird without glasses.
29. My eyes are my best feature, my smile my worst.
30. I haven't seen a dentist for over 20 years and would be embarrassed to see one now because my teeth are in such bad shape.
31. You will rarely see a picture of me and if you do see one I will most likely NOT be smiling.
32. My favorite Perfumes are the Beautiful line by Estee Lauder.
33. TP goes over the top!

38. I once went to Gettysburg, Pa and would love to go again someday and take my kids this time.
39. It hurts when people criticise me but crushes me when they criticise my children.

41. If I had the money I would get certain parts of me lifted but not enhanced.

46. When i was little I wanted to be an interior designer
47. I think it would be neat to be an occupational or physical therapist
48. I have such a bad fear of failure I often don't even want to try. Another issue I must work on.
49. I have a reasonably high IQ (around 130) but seldom show it.
50. I can't think of anything else anyone else would want to know about me but if there is something you wanna know just ask. If it is something that I don't want to answer I will just tell you so.
