5 (or is it 6?)intersting things about me....... maybe not so much interesting as just facts!

1. I hate the HOLIDAYS!!! Unless I'm around my family. I appreciate my friends for inviting me to their houses or their families houses or out for a drink even. But, I'm so uncomfortable celebrating anything Christmas or Thanksgiving unless I'm with family. I'm super crabby when the holidays come around and I can't go home. I hate it when my neighborhood decorates because it looks like Xmas threw up on the block. I know I'll get the mandatory phone call where I'm passed around to everyone and it just breaks my heart every time. I know what the house smells like and what all the food taste like (YUMMY), I know what the table looks like and where people are going to sit, I know there's plenty of laughing and having a good time. The teasing jokes, the laughs at the kids, the games afterwards...... It kills me to always miss that!

2. I view the world as if I was taking a picture of it. Whatever I'm doing I'm always looking around for a good picture. I usually have a soundtrack to go along with it too....all in my head like a little movie making machine that won't stop.

3. Every stuffed animal I was given as a present (from boyfriends usually) has been given to the dogs as toys that they instantly shred. It started off innocently enough, Olive got a hold of one and within minutes the room was filled with stuffing and plastic eye balls, the pure joy she took in shaking it and ripping it to shreds was such fun to watch! I honestly tried several times to put the stuffed animals up knowing they would be destroyed if ever left at dog level.....but I find myself giggling and secretly happy when I would come home and Houdini (aka olive) would have gotten a hold of them and made a mess which I would find her rolling in and getting all the stuffing stuck to her fur. Sorry guys...don't buy me stuffed animals I guess is the solution!

4. I have an inner Ninja that I channel when I'm trying something that scares the crap out of me. don't get me wrong I love the adrenaline rush of trying a new kayak run or going down a hill steeper then I've ever done before. I'm not scared to do much of anything, but when I am...I call upon my inner Ninja who is never scared, she's always confident in her skills and knows how to keep things safe while still kicking ass! It's cheesy but it works for me!

5. e-mail.... I prefer it to the phone, but get so obsessed about it. I send ridiculously long e-mails because it's where I feel most comfortable expressing myself. I get irritated when people reply without answering questions, or they don't reply at all. I will check my e-mail a million times constantly wondering if you're gotten the e-mail, why you're not answering it faster, did I not get across what I wanted to say..blah blah blah... its borderline crazy really :)

6. I'm an incessant list maker. I make lists about my lists and rarely remember to bring them with to check off the things I've done. I periodically stack all my outdated lists and make a new list with the items from the old one's that I didn't get done. It's ridiculous....probably a bit OCD.
