Out of My Comfort Zone

Okay, so this is very unlike me to post something like this but I'm trying, alright. Part of the reason I don't blog is because I am very private about things until I get to know someone, then I am likely to share a lot with you. It's all about comfort levels...I don't want to disappoint, cause controversy, or upset anyone. Some people would be shocked to know this about me...because at the same time I am all about pushing the envelope and rethinking the way we do things (I get this from my dad). I guess this would actually be number one of 7 quirky things about myself but we will just consider it a bonus!

Here it goes...

Seven Quirky Things About Me

1. I’m a “bare minimum” person in many aspects. For example, when it’s time to go to bed I just go to bed – even if it means not taking off my makeup or hanging up my clothes.

2. I’m a serious bargain hunter. I like nice things, but I never pay full price and I frequently buy things for other people if I get a deal.

3. I have no fear of public speaking, even in front of large groups, but small social settings make me nervous.

4. I always ask for a “to go” cup when I leave a restaurant. If I’ve paid for it, I’m taking it with me.

5. I read LOTS of blogs. Over 100. Many of people I don’t know. I love stories about people. Mike makes fun of me because I drive down the road wondering about the lives of people driving next to me. (I say it’s because I care about people more than he does! When I told him about this sentence he came back with.... You care about their stories but I care about spending time with them. I don't totally agree with this but figure it isn't fair reporting unless you give both sides of the story.)

6. I’m observant and notice things . . . especially faces. For example, I notice people at the gym so when I see them other places I always know where I know them from. Of course, if I went over to them and said, “Don’t I see you at the gym?” they’d probably think I was a stalker.

7. I take my water bottle with me everywhere I go, and have since my senior year of college. I don’t like ice, but I really like a straw. I haven’t had the same water bottle the whole time, but I always have one with me. I’ve converted Mike and the church people accuse us of carrying something other than water!
