1. When it comes to my work, I'm a perfectionist. Sort of. I want to be the best possible, even if it means sacrificing my personal life. :S I was never a perfectionist in school, life, anything before I had a certain job in college. Since then, I want to be the best. Ack, I know that's not good, but it drives me.
2. I take showers, get dressed, clean, rearrange, find things, and lose things -- all while I'm sleeping. I'm not one of those "go to bed at night and wake up in the morning" kind of people.
3. I don't eat things with (added) sugar in them. Natural sugar is fine. It's the added stuff that gets me. I had headaches all last winter -- migranes and regular headaches 4 or 5 times a week. Some other problems, too. So I cut out sugar and --dwell-ah! -- no more headaches!!!
4. I'm proper (apparently). I just asked my little sis Julie what not very many people know about me and she said that.
5. I'm a morning person. This one still surprises me, but I do my best work in the morning. and if I have something that requires a lot of concentration or lots of energy, I have to do it in the morning. Mind you, I don't like waking up early. It's just that when I do -- that's when I do my best work.
6. I don't have a lot of confidence in myself, nor do I have a good self-image. This gets worse as I get older. :S
There you go! That was tough; not things I usually talk about or tell people, but there they are... Whew -- deep breath before I click "Publish"
you are a sweet heart, too. And the confidence thing, I think that lots of people struggle with that - myself included depending largely on where my hormones are in that moment. I know that you are a sweet and wonderful friend.
ReplyDeleteProper... hmmmm Julie must know!! Not saying that you are not, but there are other traits that I would have picked. But proper is good.
Karen--see, isn't it fun to let it out. I love keeping in touch with you with the blog things. It takes so much courage to be in CT and with your first teaching job. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI love the sleeping one... Not that it's a great thing for you but it brings back memories- like the duct tape in your room.... Are you sure that wasn't you?
ReplyDeleteAmy, you're such a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteJen, I'm living back in MI now :)
Katie, I've been thinking over the past couple of days and I don't remember the duct tape incident...
