#1. I am a very picky eater. You will not see me trying sushi or anything that I cannot pronounce. My taste pallet is very basic and sticks to the good ol' southern side of things. Blame my granny, blame my momma...and all my aunts/great aunts. Ask some of my good friends and they will tell my granny's canned beans are the best thing around. Hands down. So some say picky, I say southern spoiled. :-)
#2. I am hilarious. Just kidding but I am not kidding when I say that I am one of those people who laugh at all the wrong times. If someone falls in front of me, it's over and I am in hysterics. Of course I feel bad if they are hurt but mostly I am always at the right spot at the right time for a minor incident with no injuries other than my stomach cramping from laughing so hard. I will never forget when I was in college and this guy was walking up the steps as I was coming down and he pulls a move I only thought I had down, and he trips UP the stairs. I bust out laughing and he makes it worse because he says to himself "I hate it when I do that"...yep, I laughed harder. I couldn't imagine not having laughter. You HAVE to laugh sometimes...I just laugh a little bit more than others and honestly it is one of my favorite things to do.
#3. I talk to myself. Sometimes I run through acting skits that I just made up on the fly. I have always wanted to be an actress. I always do it when I am driving, I don't know what it is about the car inspiring me but it does. It has gotten interesting now because I always have my 4yr in the back seat. She definitely thinks I am a weirdo because she always asks me who I am talking to haha. And if you haven't acted out a scene from dumb and dumber in the car...you should. Just do it OK?
#4. I listen to just about every genre of music. I love it all. Except the heavy metal stuff...that gives me anxiety. My Pandora playlist consists of everything from Hillsong United to Eminem. I know...that sounds bad but I only listen to the edited versions of Eminem. I don't judge. Music of every kind got me through a really tough time a couple of years ago. Eminem soothed me. Never thought I would say that, but I am firm believer that just like people, music can come into your life for whatever reason. Living in the Bible belt I feel a little explanation may be needed for some potential readers haha. I am currently listening to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's station. One of my faves. I always blog with my headphones in, music turned up.
#5. Phew...why did I say 10...I am really not that interesting at all. So I guess this one can be about how I do not really like to talk about myself. Yep...the next five should be interesting.
#6. All things hospital used to creep me out and now I am studying to become a nurse. Helping people is awesome although it can be a bit stressful working in that environment but making a difference outweighs any of the stressors. Plus my little girl thinks mommy is a super hero and she wants to be a nurse just like me so she can come to work with me when she is old enough. WIN.
#7. I am tough. I mean really tough. Not bragging just showing myself some love. Looking back I see myself broken, scared and uncertain. I reflect on how I rose from the fire, feet unsteady I walked anyway. Life has thrown me some lemons but my lemonade is sweet. I have faced a very challenging life event with a brave face and am truly stronger because of it. It was hard...realllllllly hard but I relied on God to get me through and he did. He IS good ALL the time. I will share some of the trials, how I faced them and how God saw me through in another blog. I am thankful to my Mama for raising us right, she also has risen from her own fires and I am so inspired by her. I have her to THANK for keeping us in Church, and living her life according to the Word of God because it is through all that, that I too, have a relationship with a very loving God who carried me through one of the darkest hours of my life.
#8. I am very forgiving, I trust until proven wrong and I forgive everyday. Life is short, way too short to hold grudges. Love, forgive and move on. It doesn't mean that you have to keep those people close to you that may have hurt you but you must forgive and let it be. We are here for a short while and it is a vapor so don't waste time holding grudges. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. I am far from perfect so I don't expect the next person to be. It is unattainable.
#9. My favorite season is FALL. Something about the slight chill in the air, the beautiful leaves turning color and flying everywhere, pumpkin wax melts, pumpkin PIE, hayrides, pumpkin picking, the beginning of the best holiday season, Halloween, that last family cookout outside, LOVE it.
#10. I am deathly scared of The Great Wolfe Lodge's, "Howlin Tornado"...ask my sisters...I was talked into getting on this ride at a water park last fall and I about died. Scared the crap out of me. I was flying out of my seat on this float. I screamed so loud I am sure everyone heard me. I was shaking like I had just been electrocuted when I got off, I had to sit down for a good five minutes. But it is worth it for the memory made, I wasn't laughing then but we definitely laugh about it now...well they were laughing the whole time at me while trying to hold onto me as I was flailing about but it is funny to me now too.
XOXO, Amy
