So - I know a few years back I did a post about some of my confessions. It was rather liberating to admit some of them and so I'm doing another one. Mostly it will consist of things that people may not know about me, things that might embarrass some, but possibly encourage others (because you do the exact same things!!!), or things that I'm just now discovering about myself.
Here I go:
1. I have a lot of jewelry ( necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc....) but I hardly ever wear them. Mostly I just wear a watch , my wedding ring and some earrings. I have three reasons. Reason #1: jewelry bugs me. It itches my neck, drives me crazy when I'm typing or writing, and always tends to need to be rearranged. Reason #2 - I can't afford nice jewelry - or even if I could I think I would choose to spend it on other things. Therefore, when I wear the necklaces I DO have, they smell like metal - and may or may not leave a green line around my neck, wrist or finger. Reason #3 - I'm mildly allergic to cheap metal - so my fingers and wrists will get a rash on them if I wear my "cheap" jewelry for too long.
2. Preferably my hair would be in a ponytail every day. And I would be wearing comfortable jeans and a sweatshirt. That's when I feel the most "myself".
3. I prefer the wild of the mountains and rivers to the ocean and the beaches.
4. Most people want to take a cruise to a tropical location. I would chose an Alaskan cruise! Complete with jeans, sweatshirts, warm coats, gloves, fireplaces and hot cocoa!
5. I HATE folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher. Those are the worst chores ever!
6. I love games! Any kind of game - I'm in!
7. I have a love/hate relationship with mornings. I LOVE getting up early, but I also HATE it! When the alarm goes off I HATE it, but once I'm up I LOVE it.
8. I struggle with follow-through. I will start many projects, but have a hard time finishing them.
9. The cabin is my favorite place - and England and Disneyworld!!!
10. My new year's resolutions last until about February 4th - If I'm lucky! And they don't start back up again until the following January.
11. I don't enjoy cooking and I don't like grocery shopping. Probably because I REALLY don't like to clean up the mess afterwards. And I rotate through the same 10 meals ALL the time.
12. I don't mind baking - but I have to be in the mood for it. And that means that I want to eat whatever it is that I'm baking so it's not necessarily a "good" thing.
13. I believe the Bible to be ultimate truth - nothing added, nothing subtracted.
14. I LOVE to color! with sharp crayons and many colorful markers
15. I won't let my children drink out of public water fountains. And I NEVER get water from any faucet unless it's filtered or in a sealed water bottle.
16. However, the 5 second rule stands strong when a food item is dropped on the floor.
17. Sometimes I have to stop and think, "when was the last time I actually cleaned the bathrooms?" Yikes!
18. Spontaneous Fun is always my favorite!
19. I am the teacher who will stop a lesson and run outside during the first snowfall, excited to land a few snowflakes on my tongue, with the rest of my students in tow. OR be VERY tempted to jump into a large puddle after it rains, just to soak a few unsuspecting students lurking nearby. (I have never actually done this by the way but have Really, Really wanted to).
20. I go through phases of who my favorite actors or actresses are - BUT Christian Bale has always been my fav - always!
21. I can't get enough of history - I LOVE it!
22. I ask my husband every year for a metal detector for Christmas. Finding buried treasure is on my bucket list.
23. I love, love, love the smell of books and carpet.
24. weeds will grow in my flower beds or in my yard until my husband says something about them. I refuse to notice them. They are a nuisance that I refuse to give any of my attention or time to unless absolutely necessary.
25. Harry Potter Every Flavor Beans are a really gross.
26. Cartoons these days are really dumb.
27. I miss my grandparents every day!
28. my walls are decorated with my children's artwork
29. Living in the woods, off the land, in the middle of nowhere sounds like a great plan to me.
30. If I wasn't a teacher I would love to work in a library, or read Children's books and write reviews or rate them.
