Mandy tagged me!
Here are the rules:
a. list seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
b. tag seven people to do the same
c. do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag “whoever wants to do it”
1) My biggest craving during pregnancy was mint chocolate. York Peppermint Patties were my number one favorite but I also loved mint hot chocolate from Ophelia’s, mint meltaways from Grahams, and I even ate mint chocolate Pop-Tarts. No wonder I gained so much weight!
2) Not knowing where we will be at this point next year is killing me. I am a planner. I like to have a plan and very specific goals. I absolutely hate that there is nothing we can do about it and 90% of it hinges on Mike’s job.
3) Being a teacher has been one of the best experiences of my life. It has tested and tried my patience in ways I didn’t know were possible. It has made me more open and more understanding (and more bitter…). Most importantly, I’ve had the opportunity to bond with a few very special girls that I know were brought into my life for a reason.
4) It is hard for me to look back at where I was in my life a year ago. This time last year I was still struggling so much to become pregnant and now I have a sleepy little Bo sitting in his bouncy seat beside me while I type this. It just seems so impossible (and scary!) how much your life can change in a year.
5) I know that no one will ever love me the same way Grandpa did. No one will ever love me that unconditionally and in that same way again. That makes me unbelievably sad but it gives me hope that I can love Bo with that same intensity. I want Bo to never doubt how I feel about him the way I never had to doubt how Grandpa felt about me.
6) My ideal winter day would consist of a comfortable massaging recliner, unlimited mint hot chocolate, a novel I’ve never read, and a warm blanket. I’d curl up by the fireplace and just be.
7) My ideal summer day would consist of going to the beach at a large resort hotel. I’d enjoy a luxirious massage on the beach and drink strawberry daquiris and pina coladas by the truckload. I’d eat lots of fresh food — avocados, fresh fruit, smoked salamon. I’d read a great novel and get a sunburn. When I got tired of reading I’d roll around in the sand and then run into the ocean to rinse it all off.
Tag…Andy, Leslie, Jamie, Jess, Jenny, Emmie, and Sara
UGH! If there were seven interesting things about me that I haven’t already shared with the world, I’d happily play along. Sadly, I can think of three!
