5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

Trev · 06-30-2013, 07:10 PM

I'm terrified of spiders

My dream job is being a storm chaser

I adopted 5 children ranging in age from new born to 9 years of age

I have a service dog, she predicts seizures

I was raised on a 100 acre farm and we didn't have indoor plumbing until I was in high school

1. That I've been working without a contract for over 2.5 years
2. That it is against the law for us to strike...not that we would.
3. That the regular work year is 2080 hours. I average over 800 hours of extra duty. Never mind hiring more people (?).
4. That my employer never paid into the SS system...it wasnt required when I hired on.
5. I can retire in 4 years and have a modest (barely) retirement income.

Wow, I can retire in 4 years...

I dislike folding clothes
I dislike looking for boxes
I hate picking up over heavy boxes
I absolutely hate moving
If that moving includes going back to my home state it will break more than my bank account

I am determined.
I have a mantra and follow it: Do more of what makes you happy.
I like doing things that exhaust me physically but not emotionally.
I love the smell of new babies.
I love summer because I get to wear very little clothes.

1) I tell myself that I'm resilent and will overcome whatever obstacles may come my way because in reality, obstacles are not a part of my vocabulary: It's just takes me a while to covertly subvert obstacles and make them into something that is taste-worthy.

2) I have enjoyed not working so hard lately but in 48 hours, I'm going to work a 14 day stretch; then catch my breath and work another stretch of time; then next month, on a certain weekend, party like a Goddess.

3) My mom celebrates her birthday on Sunday (she's going to be 74). She's also been waayyyyyy toooooooo quiet. My 'radar' is uber-sensitive lately.

4) I've gotten smarter with pinging certain posts on fb: I ping the posts that send a loud clear message that I'm intolerant of racist, over-the-top biased social behaviors and it's paying off: cousins and certain other friends & family members have 'vanished' and are getting the message loud and clear.

5) EVen though life has been uber stressful since my birthday, I've been feeling rather playful lately.

`1) I am a procrastinator. To a fault. I use to have to live by deadlines and day planners. My schedule was so tight I rarely got home before dark and almost always left before daylight. Now, I fight to make sure that doesnt re-occur consciously but also, in a very passive aggressive unconscious way. I find myself missing appts. I forget meetings. I drag my feet on things that have a time schedule.

2) I hate hate hate talking on the phone. Its gotten much worse the past couple years. I think this comes from believing you could get to know someone and have a relationship with them if you spent enough time with them online and on the phone. (I learned this is SO not true) And also because there was a time when every phone call was a crisis, from my former line of work. It really doesnt matter how it started. What does matter is that there are dear friends I havent spoken to for almost a year because I cant stand to be on the phone. New friends know I have about ten minutes max before I start to get anxious. If you dont pick up my cues, or my direct request to get off by 30, there is a good chance I simply wont pick up the phone again when you call.

3) my fav purse designer is Dooney & Bourke. I would so die for one of their pink ones!

4) I religiously watch reruns of the 70s show and then Criminal Minds every night

5) I dont cry anymore I use to cry alot. I had alot to cry about. And that made me sensitive to things that would also move me to tears. I realized the other nite, that I hadnt cried much at all this year and when I did, it was over physical pain, not emotional pain.

1. I love having fresh flowers around the house

2. I am grateful for my blessings in my life and say so daily

3. I am a hugger, don't expect a limp handshake

4. I rarely carry a purse, have had one stolen and gun shy now

5. I bought a set of gozilla salt and pepper shakers the other day, VERY tacky
