This is Me - Should I be crying right now?
Here’s a funny thought experiment. If someone flies off the handle and is angry all the time, would that be a person who is “good” at showing emotions?
This is Me - Dude
So then I asked Paul what is something I say all the time and he said, "dude." And it's true, I do say that a lot. LOL.
This is Me - Everyone loves a gift card
That being said though, if I do complain, it's usually about people not doing things I think they should be doing. Isn't that the heart of most complaints? People or situations not meeting our expectations? We feel slighted. We feel annoyed. We feel put out. If you really pay attention to complaining you do or that goes on around you, my guess is that almost all complaints would center around this general theme.
This is Me - I’d like to call my lifeline
My hair has been pretty great most of my life (I know, I know...humble brag) so I don't have to do a lot to it most days either. I’m a brush and go kinda gal.
This is Me - Getting Dressed Anxiety
I don't really follow trends until the trends make their way into the comfortable clothes...like joggers instead of wide legged yoga pants.
This is Me - The Bigger Picture
I always say I've never met a cheese I didn't like. Other than Swiss cheese and it's not even that I don't like it, I just feel like it doesn't have a ton of flavor.
This is Me - Role Clairty
I guess it depends...is the spotlight on me because I've done something embarrassing? or something amazing?
This is Me - Sorry Mississippi
One quality that I do not possess is figuring out how a travel destination can personify peoples qualities. ;-)
This is Me - Smart? or Funny?
I didn’t used to be this way…it’s really only been since I’ve owned my own business and worked from home. I subconsciously feel like after 5, I’m “off work” and so I don’t want to do anything that resembles being “productive”.
This is Me - #truth
We might have different opinions or understandings of the truth but if something does not line up with fact or reality it is not true. I am 5'4 and no amount of me saying that I'm taller makes me objectively taller.
This is Me - Pie in the Sky
Often, when I'm stressed about something, I look for ways to resolve or settle the situation as soon as possible so I don't have to be in limbo any longer. If for some reason that is not possible, I will usually walk myself through worst possible scenarios (evaluating the likelihood of each) and oddly enough, that will lower my stress levels.
This is Me - Hiccups & Side Eye
I do think however that most people think they are decent drivers while also thinking most other people are not. So I'm not sure what that says about us as a society. Something deep I'm sure.
This is Me - Ice Cream Headache
At one point in my life I tried to make purple my favorite color but I just couldn't stick with it.
This is Me - Sandwiches are gross
The chance that you or I would be able to find that person is so ridiculously low. Which means that the overwhelming majority of people who are in happy and healthy relationships are with the wrong person.
This is Me - tick,tick,tick
Vomit, poop, sulfur, rotting trash or dead animals...can anyone really rank those into which one is the WORST out of all of them? I doubt it.
This is Me - Rude
There is also a big part of me that doesn't want to deal with people complaining or being unhappy about going somewhere or doing something that I suggested. If I push to go to a certain restaurant and then my friend hates it, I feel somewhat responsible.
This is Me - Bring on the Bourbon
Why would I spend hours and hours watching YouTube videos learning how to use power tools when I can just go ask my hubby?
This is Me - You don’t have to camp in the woods
I peed all over my sweatpants when trying to go to the bathroom in the woods and that is the only memory that I have from that trip, so I don't feel like it really counts.
This is Me - Secret Admirer
That was also the year that two of the girls in my friend group played a secret admirer trick on me and had me convinced that Walt had a crush on me and was leaving me secret admirer notes.
