this is me

I don't really "get" Facebook.  I love coffee.  I'm not a morning person although I do try a lot harder than I used to.  I swear I'm solar powered because when the sun is shining I get motivated and write extensive to-do lists and have the energy to tackle them.  If I'm not smiling my face looks mad even though I'm not.  When I concentrate really hard I chew the inside of my lip.  I love to be home.  I always have the best intentions but have a very tough time finding the time to get things done.  My children are my world.  I love to read.  We haven't really been on vacation since our honeymoon 11 years ago.  I love my job, but would really love to be able to stay home full time.  I don't like to hurt people and I don't like to be hurt.  I'm sensitive.  I'm hard to get to know.  If you want me to be "real" there must be trust.  If you loose my trust it's hard to win it back.  I only like to spend my downtime with people who I can have fun with.  I respect hard work.  I don't have patience for people who don't try.  I could eat my weight in chocolate {probably more actually}.  I hate feet...except for my children's.  I love a good, hot bath.  I L-O-V-E to organize, but my home isn't as organized as I'd like it.  I love Twilight.  I'm not particularly fond of Celine Dion.  I don't like dishonesty.  I'm scared about the future.  I like gold stars.  I appreciate teachers, a lot.  If I could, I'd have 5 kids.  I love dogs but am not too fond of cats.  I believe you're never too old to learn.  I hope I'm not finished growing.  I enjoy writing.  I have too many grey hairs.  I have a cabinet full of pictures and thousands of pictures on my computer, but have never made one scrapbook.  My heart aches for the moments that have flown by way too fast.  I blog to capture moments.  My best friend lives in Tennessee.  I believe it's better to have quality friendships vs. quantity friendships.  I collect quotes.  I talk on the phone too much.   I love deeply.  I've lost.  I'm here.  This is me.

Jamie, one of my favorite photogs, took this photo.  I didn't buy this digital print, which is why it says Boomberry Photography on it :).  Maybe it'll get her some business!
