Look me in the "I"

As inspired by the lovely blogger Cheryl. I am: a friend; a wife; a daughter; a sister; a consumer; a communicator; a writer; an optimist. I said: “I love you” and they were the last words my dad heard from me (the same thing Cheryl said to her dad, too); "I do." I want: to have a family; a happy marriage; comfort; serenity. I wish: that everyone could see the fun in life like I do; for a smaller stomach and buff arms; for awesome baking abilities; that the next season of The Office was here; someone would watch scary movies with me. I strongly dislike: egomaniacs; bitches; unnecessary confrontation; spicy food; I miss: my dad; Love Monkey; Stone Temple Pilots. I fear: birds; spiders; break-ins; failure; infertility. I hear: a commercial for X-Men (woo hoo!). I wonder: what my children will grow up to be like; if Brent is sleeping or just reading in bed; what I should wear tomorrow. I regret: not taking better care of my body; not keeping in touch with old friends. I am not: selfish; pessimistic; tall; boring. I dance: with a funny look on my face. I sing: in my car; karaoke (at home); to Brent; to my co-workers. I cry: during every episode of Grey's Anatomy; when a parent dies in a movie (especially of cancer). I am not always: happy; perky; right. I made: fun cupcakes; sound decisions; great friends. I write: to keep a record of my life; not often enough; to keep in touch. I confuse: Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman; "affect" and "effect;" Brent (on occasion). I need: to drink more water; to do laundry; a haircut (getting one Wednesday!). I should: start saving more for retirement; return some emails; go to bed earlier. I start: drafts of emails that I don't send. I finish: every bite of cake; Brent's sentences. I tag: whomever wants to do this. "Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms." - Kahlil Gibran
