Ten Things you may or may not know about me....
Tagged by Shea
1. I play Mario Party on Adam's DS every night before I go to bed.
2. I love Starburst Jelly Beans. But I like to eat them in a certain color order. First the yellows. Then the pinks and oranges. Then the greens and reds. I don't really care for the purples. But I will eat them.
3. This one is kind of gross... I love for my golden retriever Charlie to lick my feet. He knows this. It is kind of a afternoon ritual.
4. In the mornings I listen to The Opening Drive. Its a sports talk show. I do this so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about when discussing sports with Adam and my Dad.
5. Three out of five workdays I wear maternity pants to work still. This is partly because I am still carrying twenty extra baby pounds. And partly because they are comfortable. I really like no zippers or buttons.
6. I have had gray hair since I was twelve. Pretty much everyone who sees me will know this now because since I have been back to work I haven't had time for cut or color. I have pretty gray roots. Esp. for a twenty seven year old.
7. I am a terribly light sleeper. I wake up at Adam's every move. I enjoy sleeping in king sized beds where he is far away. Or taking NyQuil or a glass of red wine to fall asleep. But that is not responsible when you have a baby in the house who depends on you.
8. My driver's license expired a month ago. I should probably get it renewed.
9. I am not good at finishing projects. I have so many unfinished crafty things in the closet. I love to start things but in the middle of something I'll get distracted or run out of steam. Sometimes I get frustrated because I can't cut straight. I blame Mrs. Hickey. She was my Kindergarten teacher. She got frustrated that I was left handed and took a long time so she always cut my stuff. I say to myself this summer when school is out I am going to finish....
10. I am lonely. I have an amazing husband and good friends here in Tuscaloosa. But since Noah has been born I don't have a lot of friend time. It makes me feel isolated. I wake up, I get Noah up, I go to school, I pick Noah up, I feed him, I eat, I get him ready for bed, I put him down, and I crawl into bed. I might talk to Adam. I might call someone during the commute. Most of you who read this know I am not the best at maintaining long distance friendships. It is one of my worst personality traits. I will not usually initiate contact or getting together. It stems from insecurity and shyness leftover from high school. I feel like I bother people if I call them, or she is too busy for me, or she has new friends she likes better, or if she really wanted to talk to me she would call, or they really don't like me as much as I think they do. Or I am embarrassed I let so much time lapse since last calling or emailing the person. Silly but I convince my self nobody likes me and it becomes a I 'm going to the garden to eat worms mentality. Its a self esteem issue that I pray through everytime I get into this funk. Usually God puts someone in my path to knock me out of the funk and show me I am being silly.
That's the ten. I will tag Emily C. and Jana.

carrie i love that post!
...you are right it is pretty sick that you let charlie lick your feet...but you are WAY WRONG that "no body likes you everybody hates you and guess you should eat worms" I love you bunches and bunches and miss you all the time! i am never too busy for you to call or email and it will never matter how long it has been since we've seen each other i will always be thrilled to see you and thankful for our time together!! now when are we going to get together!?!?!
Carrie I can testify to LJM's love for you. She adores you and misses you all the time. Also, I can totally identify with you on #10. I am the same way. I have my close friends here in town that I can easily keep in touch with (thank God LJM is one of them) but no matter how much I love the long distance ones I am always sad that we aren't closer because it IS really HARD to keep in touch and part of you feels like you are losing them. But that is the cool thing about these blogs... isn't it neat to be able to write it all out and comment with each other? It is BETTER than the phone to me! And we are making new friends!
it might be a family thing. i feel that way all the time. mainly that everyone is too busy for me and to call would be to bother, especially when it comes to my sisters. i feel like i would be wasting your time. but i love you guys (and i know that you love me!), im always just too nervous to call. when i saw that you called i was so excited (and disapointed that i missed it)! I will always love you, regardless of how little we talk sometimes. being sisters is having a friend forever and im looking forward to being like granny and aunt gladys. ;)
Emily, in this future you look forward too, I am dead. Let's think of another analogy.
I'm the anonymous post - Adam J.
oh adam... of course that is not what i mean. aunt gladys and granny were just so close and THAT is the part im looking forward to...
