Recent Realizations

Here are a few recent (like within the past year) realizations about myself I've, well, only recently realized:

1. I'm obsessed with food I ate as a kid and wonder why I ever stopped eating it. Speaking of...do I have any Goldfish, Cherrios, or graham crackers in the pantry?? (rummaging around) Jackpot! Of course, I guess that's what you get when you buy your own groceries.

2. I am addicted to Popsicles. Really. Especially the tropical flavored ones. I can eat 5 of them one right after the other. Good thing they're sugar free and only 15 calories each.

3. I'm completely predictable. I'm the person that always orders the same thing off the restaurant menu, drinks water with every meal, has 17 blue-striped shirts, wears Crocs every day, and has 6 navy baseball caps.

4. I'm a non-drama person. I'd prefer to not even know much less be involved in the drama. Of course, when I am involved, it's 100%.

5. I've always liked to read, but lately it's getting a bit obsessive. I'd sometimes rather spend time with fictional characters than real people. Hummm...I wonder if that's why my friend Sarah and I get along so well... :)

6. I'm doing a lot better with my germ phobia. As long as I don't have to touch anything. Or look at anything. Or be in the presence of really germy things...like doorknobs.

7. I really do wear my expression on my face. Sometimes this can be good, but 95% of the time it's bad.

8. I don't think I talk a lot. Of course, maybe I should get my husband's opinion on this...

9. It seems as though the 98% of the time people don't listen to what I'm saying, I'm right. For the 2% that they do listen to me, I'm always wrong. Figures.

10. I think through every possible outcome of a decision before making it. This proves to be frustrating to some (love you, Brent!) when I'm trying to decide where to eat for dinner.

11. I'm stubborn. Really stubborn. So once my decision has been made, I stick to it. Good luck trying to change my mind. My mom always told me this growing up, and I'm finally starting to believe her. Maybe.

12. I have a super dry sense of humor. This is completely lost on some people.

That's a lot of realizations for one year, I know. Guess I'm just that self-transparent.
