1. I'm so uncomfortable with heights that my stomach drops when I look *up* at a tall building.

2. I constantly fantasize about remodeling my house.

3. I wish I still lived in Pennsylvania, where the seasons are more manageable and my family lives close by.

4. I'm not sure if my daughter will ever be able to live on her own, or if I'll have the courage to let her. I'll worry about her safety all the time, due to her medical problems.

5. I love paying my bills. I am grateful to have the ability to be responsible for my own life, financially.

1. My 30s have been better than my 20s, which were better than my teens, which were better than my early childhood. I'm looking forward to what my 40s bring. :dance2:

2. If all goes according to plan, I am only about 6 months away from being an empty-nester. I have never lived alone before and am trying to prepare myself.

3. I keep chopsticks, dog treats, and coffee in my desk at work at all times.

4. I have someone really special in my life who barely does email and doesn't do forums or other online communities at all.

5. I like reptiles, especially snakes and geckos. It makes me angry when someone kills a snake merely for existing. Not many things make me angry, but wanton killing is around the top of the list.

Bonus: In the last couple of months I've had my first ever revenge fantasies, all featuring the incompetent consultant I'm currently required to report to at work, who makes huge, business-continuity-threatening mistakes and blames them all on me. :sado:

1. I am addicted to the Twilight Saga, and the Sookie Stackhouse Series.

2. I am half Puerto Rican and half Mexican but cant speak spanish (only the bad words hehe)

3. I like to cook an think i am pretty good at it too!

4. I love senseless comedy (Fanboys, Sex Drive, Superbad, Half Baked, Southpark)

5. I work 2 jobs and have 4 kids and LITERALLY have no time for myself

This post is being brought to you by my stomach...
 

I like lists.
 

Hmm..
 

1. I am irrationally afraid of non domesticated rodents, bats, and poisonous snakes and spiders. Other than the fears listed I love all animals and have had mice and hamsters for pets and currently have an albino corn snake as a pet.

2. I battled anorexia and my self image in high school. I have traveled very far from that place. I no longer allow myself to intentionally starve and learned how to let food be a small part of life not a big part or the center of my life. I still have irrational and low self esteem and avoid looking at my body to prevent the past from recurring.

3. I play the flute and have always listened to classical music. My favorite composer is Mozart and I love Ammadeus the movie. Didnt care about accuracies.

4. I have been depressed for too long and its not easy for me to be positive and hopeful. I work very hard at it.

5. I can accept and love anyone, flaws included, forgive and give multiple chances for any mistake made. But lying and deciet will cause me to become paranoid and is the fastest way to lose me, friend or family or lover. Because I am so accepting and loving it makes it impossible for me to overlook it. There are no reasons to fear being honest with me. So once the lying happens, I need that trust rebuilt and efforts made to believe that person again.

Ok.....this made me snort milk outta my nose.

1. I play the flute, too. I used to think I was really good, but now I know that I'm not. I played for a while in a community orchestra, and might do that again some day.

2. Although I'm an emotional, sensitive person, I see no reason to argue bitterly, raise voices, or slide into irrational behavior when disagreeing in a relationship. When that does happen, it takes a piece of me.

3. I would like to lose weight and get into better shape before my 50th birthday in August. I *always* wait until the last minute....

4. I feel better when my children are with me. Even at 17 and 22.

5. If I could, I'd move to PA to be closer to family. I don't see that happening while my daughter is still in school and getting services from local agencies.

Why the brick?

To commemorate being the most tried woman in portland?

I knew it.

Maybe she was the very FIRST one ever tried there. :giggle:

1. I love HGTV network
2. I love reading tech books (even tho I have dyslexia) easier to understand than others
3. I worked in computers as programmer, analyst, operator, tech writer, trainer for 24yrs
4. I have worked in several major industries-telecommunications, insurance, banking
5. I want to be self sufficient=total green, self contained living

Now would I do that?:cheesy:
