6 things you may or may not know about me. Hmmm...Let's see:




1. No matter how many times people are mean or rude to me, for some reason I will always try to be their friend. (Not saying Brittany in the above picture has EVER been rude to me, just FYI). I actually am not fond of this trait and wish I could simply move on and dislike someone forever, but I try and it just can't happen.


2. It took me a LONG, LONG, LONG time to learn to sit at home for a whole evening. Little story: In High School, my Mom was punishing me and my younger brother and sister for our rooms being "pig sty's" so my younger siblings punishment was they had to live in our downstairs den with a basket of stuff (2 outfits, scriptures, a book and like their school books). Once they could keep their basket neat, clothes clean, etc., then they would slowly earn back other things, and eventually get back into their rooms. What was MY punishment? ... I had to choose to go out either Friday OR Saturday night that weekend. My Mom wishes she had a video camera, because I was literally, and I mean literally, on the floor bawling hysterically, begging to have my room taken away rather than having to stay home. So, 6 years later... I have mastered the "stay-home evening" without being depressed about it. My Dad would be proud.


3. If it's not spicy I generally don't like it. I can eat a whole Thanksgiving dinner, but unless I get some spice in me, I'm just not satisfied! I read somewhere that you can actually be addicted to hot sauce. It gets the adrenaline going, and you get addicted to that. Anyway, I think I've about hit rock bottom. Is there a detox program for Hot Sauce Addicts?


4. Plucking my eyebrows (and I have a lot of them) is therapeutic. I seriously own like 10 pairs of tweezers, and it is totally calming for some reason! Weird, I know.


5. Another weird one. My Sister-in-Law Soni tells me it's an Autistic Trait. But small groupings of certain things totally give me the heebie-geebies. Take the new Layers Kendra for example. I pulled the gray print one out of the box and about freaked out... I couldn't get it out of my hands fast of it. The pattern on it totally freaked me out. I made myself wear it all day long so I could get over it. Small cloud clusters, certain leaves on trees, etc. Gross...

6. I love stress. I love being busy and seeing how far I can stretch myself until I break. I've been that way since HS. Busy bee! I get bored with things quickly, so I love having a ton going on.
