There's no Wednesday Hodgepodge this week as Joyce has too much going on in real life, so you and I will have to be content with the April Challenge.
10 Interesting Facts About Yourself
1. I often struggle with the feeling that I've not done enough with my life...essentially wasted it.
2. Sometimes I really hate the way my kids treat me like I'm a doddering old fool with no clue about how life or the world works (and no hope of figuring it out). I'm only 53 for cripe's sake!
3. I hate my knees. They're all bulgy on the inside. Always have been, even when I was a kid.
4. Ditto my feet. Though more because of how much pain they cause rather than how they look.
5. I love plants and flowers. I keep several houseplants and outside I always have pots of flowers and vegetables, along with raised garden beds. Some things I'm better at keeping alive than others, but I like having plants around me. I got that from my Nana.
6. I love cooking, but I hate trying to come up with different meals every day and I LOATHE having to cook when I get home from work. We end up eating takeout more than we should.
7. I'm sort of addicted to watching politics. I like it so much I actually considered declaring a minor in political science to go with my journalism major back in college.
8. As introverted and shy as I tend to be, I have no qualms about acting like a ginormous goof for a good cause.
9. I have to be on my guard ALL THE TIME with Facebook and blogging because that's where any OCD traits I have show up. I want to check stats and comments continuously.
10. I cannot find a good pillow. I have tried them all. Well, there is one left to try, but it comes with a $219 price tag, so that's not happening. In the meantime, I just keep beating the snot out of my "Perfect" pillow every night.
I have the same issues with feeling that way about life... the "what if's" that go through your mind. I always think I totally picked the wrong career & how wonderful life would be if I had picked another one.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about making a fool out of myself for a good cause ;)
Ditto to your #1, Stacy; I suppose that's normal. #2 made me chuckle! Puleeeze let me know if you find that Good pillow .....before I go out and buy a foam wedgie!
ReplyDeleteI have a black thumb of death. Just cannot keep plants alive no matter how much I want to.
ReplyDeleteAnd I keep having the same foods over and over because I hate making meals for just myself.
I'm with Kwizgiver...black thumb here too. I enjoyed reading your list of 10!!
ReplyDeleteI have a "medium" Wamsutta pillow that I got at Bed, Bath and Beyond and I love it to distraction. Do you have one of those stores near you? An entire aisle of pillows. Your quest may end happily there!
ReplyDeleteI think there is one in Pittsburgh. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm down that way.
