10 random things

I was challenged by a fellow friend and blogger to disclose to all 10 random things about myself. Here it goes:

1) I hate watching people come off of an airplane. It's terribly embarrassing to see their looks of hope that someone they know might be there. Ugh, misery.

2) I always like to think of creative ads for products. Somehow I feel like I'm thinking up something brilliant that has never been thought of before. Maybe I am......

3) I almost fell out of the Goodyear blimp once. I really did (or a combination of remembering it with having been told the story a million times). But someone grabbed my arm and fortunately, I'm sitting here 20 some years later writing electrifying stuff on this blog for your enjoyment.

4) I am nosy. Brian would laugh as if this is some big secret. But to be honest, I don't think of myself as nosy. But after repeated "examples" that Brian recently cited to my mother, I guess I am. Bummer. I don't like nosy people.

5) I wake up everyday and think of some place I'd like to go and truly (with everything in me) make a plan for how I'm going to get there. To me, up and flying to London in 2 weeks is completely realistic and I actually thank God that he has given me this attitude. More than that, I thank him that he's given me a husband who is the exact same way for the most part. Traveling to us is "no big deal" in many ways and if we have the money/miles, we see no reason not to. Oh, I'm not going to London---just an example.

6) I fear real garlic. I love garlic salt---but if I cook with actual garlic cloves it grosses me out and I don't end up eating what I've cooked.

7) I've got the strongest sense of smell of anyone you know. This is much to Brian's detriment. I cannot simply ignore any kind of odor for the cause of being romantic. I know, it sucks.

8) I love the color orange with a deep passion. It is a rich fun color that is all around happy. I plan to paint my future daughter's room orange. No, I'm not pregnant.

9) I feel most at home and most content on the beach. Somewhere near an ocean, where I can smell the sand and salt. It is a smell that stems back to my earliest years and I feel so complete when I'm in the presence of one of God's greatest creations ever.

10) Just about every day I contradict myself on whether I'm ready to have another baby again. As of today, the half of me that isn't ready is winning out.
