1. I am terrible, horrible, awful at returning calls and making calls to people I don't know. For some reason I just have a mental block about it.
2. When I'm driving, I swear a lot. I don't get road rage or anything, I just have a potty mouth. This is something I've been working on really hard since Cole came!
3. I have REALLY expensive taste in clothes. Banana`Republic, Anthropologie, Gap, Ann Taylor, White House/Black Market, and j. crew are some of my faves. All stores that are quite out of our price range, so I tend to just stare longingly at the window displays and feel dissatisfied.
4. I am`also extremely cheap, which is why you don't see me buying clothes at any of the above places. Chris and I will be at a yard sale and he'll ask me, "Are you going to offer less?" and of course the answer is always yes - he'll be so embarassed he'll go wait in the car.
5. I'm supposed to wear a retainer when I sleep, to keep my top teeth from growing apart (I had braces). Unfortunately, whenever I can find it (not often) I always take it out as soon as I fall asleep because it is so uncomfortable. Also, it makth me talk with a lithp and I thound like a two year old... very thexy!
6. In a word: Procrastination. I LOVE to procrastinate. Especially on the computer. I'll get on to do something very specific and then oh look! piperlime.com is having a sale, and then maybe I'll just check out facebook to see what's new with everyone, and then a blog with tips on children's photography has a new post... you get the idea.
7. While I love to quilt and sew and craft in every way, I'm not always the best at finishing said projects. That said, I am doing better than I used to... but I have a feeling that with Cole here I may slip back into my old unfinished ways. Priorities, you know.
8. I'm really, really sensitive. It can be a really good thing - I think it's what makes me a good mom and a good teacher - but it can also get me in trouble sometimes.
9. I make lists. All.the.time. It's compulsive. For every teeny little thing I have to do sometime in the near future, I put it on a list. This can be a good thing...however, I often spend more time making a list than DOING the stuff on my list. Chris loves to make fun of me for this.
10. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE going to the dentist. It is my least favorite thing to do in the world. So I don't go as often as I should.
I guess I still have a ways to go to be the woman I want to be. But the good thing is, it's always good to start with a list!
