Things you may or may not know about me...

1. I'm not rebellious, I'm independent. For instance, this list is supposed to be titled, "101 things you may or may not know about me." By that point, I'll be repeating the same ten items, so I've changed it. I'll decide when it's complete. Not being rebellious, just realistic.

2. I have kids. This should probably fall under "super easy choices that are {thisclose} to cheating. But it's true, I do.

3. I have a short, obsessive attention span. My hubby and I are always amazed that I've stayed committed to our marriage this long...my storage containers are a graveyard of half-started, unfinished projects. I get all excited about a new venture...annnnnd then I find something else more exciting. My entire life is lived this way. Fascinating, yet frustrating.

4. Although I am a self-professed history lover and history was my major, AND I plan to teach history/social studies to elementary schoolers, I don't read history-related books for pleasure. It's true. A friend was trying to read history books with me over the summer, but I just couldn't do it. My guilty pleasure reads are non-fiction science or environmental works, not history. I'll now hide my "historian-in-the-making" head in shame.

5. I fear failure more than anything. To the point that it's debilitating. For instance, my job search: "Oooh, here's a job...no, wait, they want someone with strong computer skills, I don't have strong computer skills." "Yes, honey, you do." "No, no I don't, not like what they're looking for. I'd screw up the first day." "You graduated at the top of your class...all. three. times. You can handle some basic computer skills." "No, I'm sure someone else is better for it..." It drives my husband insane. True story.

6. Most of the time I'm winging it. Ever have those, "I'm not really an adult, I'm just a five year old in an adult's body, aaah, let me out of here!" moments? That's me, most of the time. Everyone seems so much better adjusted, so figure I'll fake it til I make it to 70. Then I'm breakin' out of this joint and back to kindergarten, where I belong.

7. I can't think of No. 7 right now. Sorry, I've got housework to do...maybe I'll think of something later. ;)
