16 things

that you (and some others) don't know about me. this was a tag on some sites that i visit, and it looked like fun, as well as an exercise in thought. here goes, and consider yourself tagged :)


* i am itching to begin a creative chapter in my life. painting, creating, art! and no excuse why i am not doing it!
* i have a skeletan structure of a book i'd like to write
* i feel like i missed my calling to be a doctor. rather, i didn't listen to the voice in my head
* i am a huge fan of eyes. they speak to me on so mnay levels, and i listen.
* i am also a huge fan of, er, butts. yep, not such a huge secret, but hey, i'm revealing some things
* i am awakened by dreams that involve my kids being hurt - about twice a month
* i feel so much stronger than i was 5 years ago.
* i have no recall of the girl that inhabited my body 10 years ago (pre-kids!)
* i enjoy date nights so much that the guilt of the good feelings (being without my kids for a night) are washed away as i bask in the glory of our couplehood
* i'm going away next week to the mayan riviera, and i don't have the normal guilt that i have had in the past. i'm looking forward to the break
* i would secretly (well, it may not be a REAL secret) love to be a SAHM.
* i am not a fan of darkness. it isn't a fear, it's really a dislike. i hate what could be lurking
* i was a high school cheerleader. for my "brother-school's" (it was a perochial school group) hockey team
* i want to have a financial freedom now. not in retirement, i don't want to wait. now.
* i save things. lots and lots of things. sometimes things that don't have much meaning. except to me. one might say i am a little bit of a packrat. the good news? i am so organized, you'd NEVER know i save things. lots and lots of things.
* we have just been approached with a possible relocation opp (via my job) and i am actually contemplating it!

okay, that was fun. go ahead, play the game.

*possible* is the operative word ... there is an opening, but it may not be working in the right direction at the very moment. Shockingly, it would be in the southern area of the US. We are thinking North Carolina - again, it's very very premature. but the IDEA of it was shocking that I would entertain it! thanks for the vacation vibes .... it isn't really all vaca - it's the annual National Sales Meeting. It's in the Mayan Riviera, though. tough, right?
