I love little quirky things that make people who they are. With that said, I thought I’d share some of mine 🙂

  1. I love to laugh, it’s my favorite. The kind of laughing that makes you want to throw up…that’s the best. Once, in fifth grade, I was drinking a grape soda at lunch and my friend did something that I found hilarious (which really doesn’t take much). I laughed so hard that grape soda was pouring out of my nose. Doesn’t feel good, my friends, but it did have me laughing even harder. 
  2. I LOVE to explore and be outside. However, if it’s a place I’ve never been to before or I’m not very familiar with, I won’t go alone. I have an irrational fear that no matter where it is, someone is lurking and wants to steal me.
  3. I absolutely LOVE hiking, but secretly spend a good bit of my hike searching for mountain lions and bears and planning my best method of survival and how to save my kids.

5.  I can watch surgeries on TV, deal with bloody noses, other bodily liquids (thanks to kids), and gory things don’t bother me. However, if Charley comes over to show me a paper cut, my stomach flips and I instantly bend holding my stomach.

6. When I was little I liked to  pretend I could swim like Ariel, you know, the mermaid. I even had myself convinced for a good while that I was really able to breathe under water. And by a good while, I mean, I’m not fully convinced that it did not happen 😉

7.  Beautiful things inspire me, but so does reading, and everyday activity. I never know what will get me motivated, but I always love the surprise!

And there you go, random things that make me…me. Catch more personal images here!
