It has come to my attention that you are supposed to post '100 Things You Don't Know About Me' when you make your 100th posting. Well, I didn't know. So, this is my 200th posting - and I am putting the first 10. If you would like to see the others, just click the link below. (I know, who has the time!)
1 I am a very left brain (math/logical/analytical) girl….most of the time. However, I have a very strong right brain tendency (random/creative/intuitive). You will most probably notice my initial math tendency in my lack of grammar/punctuation skills. Sorry!
2 I hope that this list will prevent the need for therapy?
3 Parking (even though I didn’t go ‘all the way’ or even 'far') and under-aged drinking were a big part of ‘hanging’ out when I was in middle/high school. And that was before cable (no MTV/HBO) – go figure! I can’t imagine how we came up with these ideas with 3 – no 4 (with PBS) TV stations?
4 I became an engineer because I wanted to build a bridge. It made no sense to me that I could see the much ‘cooler’ town of Decatur right across the water – but, couldn’t get to it in a matter of minutes. Bingo – build a bridge! Well, as it turns out – that bridge still isn’t there. It would have to be really long, and would connect federal property to privately owned business property. Oh well!
5 I wonder how many friends that I have invited to look at the blog actually do? Then I want them to leave comments (so that I know they are looking)- most don’t. That’s ok too. It is my issue, not yours.
6 I am capable of killing, the ever-resilient, peace lily plant. Much to my chagrin, this is not an ‘indicator’ plant (being that you water it when it ‘indicates’ , by wilting, that it needs water). It must be watered on a regular, although not frequent, cycle. Who knew?
7 I think that people, including myself, are afraid to break out and meet new friends. I don’t mean acquaintances, I mean – friends. Now, I understand that the nature of friendship is a bond that is built over time, etc. However, people are too quick to get set in their ways and lay ‘claim’ to certain people. Maybe I’ll work on that for myself. Let’s be friends!
8 I don’t understand that I can’t ‘fix’ everything. This can often pertain to extended family issues. It isn’t always something that is my business – or anything that I can do ANYTHING about. People just have to work it out.
9 To me, divorce is the ugliest word in the world.
10 I am terrified of sharks in the ocean – but, I really want to see another one when I dive (the nurse shark in Turks & Caicos just got me started!) I’m not kidding – there is not ONE single time that I get in the ocean that I don’t think about sharks. Primarily – bull sharks – THE most aggressive shark I would probably come in contact with in the Gulf/Atlantic areas that I would be most likely to haunt. For this reason – I prefer to dive in the Caribbean. Like they can’t travel there!
