Me

I am embracing myself, my whole, my thoughts and feelings--my me. I am finding myself...which means lists. I love lists. I love crossing things off lists. I make lists when I am bored in class or waiting for friends at the mall (ooh that sounds so 6th grade) or when I am trying to fall asleep at night....so here are a few things about me...a list (muahahahaha)

1. One of my pet peeves is when people don't call when they say they are going to call. WTF. We all have cell phones--its not like you aren't close to a phone. Fine, I understand if you n't talk, but its still not hard to say that to a person when you call them. Either way--call like you say you are going to. Or send a voice mail--you don't even have to call for real! Or text! C'mon people--its a common courtesy. I am less annoyed by people who don't call you back when you leave them multiple messages, but I can forget about that more easily.
   
2. I am very texture-sensitive about foods--which is why my mother in law's leftovers scare me. I don't like onions on pizza or in lasagna. All the yucky parts in chicken should be taken off PRIOR to cooking. If I bite into something that crunches or is rubbery when it shouldn't be, the meal is over. YUCK!
3. I drink my milk with ice cubes in it and I like any food that is supposed to be hot to be ATOMIC hot
4. I love thunderstorms and blizzards.
5. I have my first cavity this year:-(
6. I have an older brother--he once rolled me down the stairs hogtied wrapped in a flannel blanket--we are friends now. We look nothing alike and people are confused about who is older. I am 3 years younger.
7. I am the spitting image of my father but I can feel when I am making the same faces my mom makes
8. I never lost my Moro reflex as a baby--I startle with even the slightest noise and it gets to me sometimes
9. Loud noises really bother me occasionally (another reason my MIL gets to be sometimes)
10. I love the smell of pine-sol, rain on hot asphalt, and fresh baking bread.
