I am…

Aug 18, 2008 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Features, Listy, Thinking, Weddings

Following Ronnica’s lead.

I AM … a lady.

I WANT … a farmhouse and kids and some animals and a big desk on the porch and a vegetable garden and clothes on the line.

I HAVE … a mild headache today.

I WISH I COULD … do something fulfilling on a daily basis.

I HATE … having to deal with people who are discouraging.

I FEAR … dying in a violent car accident.

I HEAR … the hum of computers and a printer.

I SEARCH … for my keys more times per week than I’d like.

I DON’T THINKThe Wedding is going to be as stressful as I had anticipated.

I REALLY … want some dinner. And I am really super content with my life right now.

I REGRET … a lot of things that I said and didn’t say to people when I was in high school. I regret being the person I was back then.

I LOVE … spending time with my family. And acquiring a new family :)

I ACHE FOR … the next 9 and 1/2 months to be over, but I know that I need to enjoy this time of engagement.

I ALWAYS CRY … whenever I see a baby being born on TV. Doesn’t matter that I don’t know them. I always cry when there is a robot with a (almost) soul involved with something I’m watching.

I AM NOT … a tidy person, but I am the CLEANEST person I believe you’ll ever meet.

I DANCE … around the house whenever I see that I’ve lost another pound.

I SING … every day. Mostly showtunes.

I NEVER … spend time with friends anymore, it seems. It’s like I started working and the majority of them stopped calling.

I RARELY … watch anything other than PBS, Discovery Channel, and Fox News. Can I just purchase those 3 channels? And ABC for LOST in the spring?

I CRY WHEN I WATCHThe Notebook, AI, A Walk to Remember, The Way We Were, The Sound of Music, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid.

I AM NOT ALWAYS … on time, but I try to be.

I HATE THAT … I am so bad at maintaining relationships with girl friends. I try to put forth the effort, but it is so hard when you don’t get any response back. Seriously. So discouraging.

I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … what the future holds in regards to my work. I just want to be doing something that brings me joy.

I NEED … a pedicure, a good back massage, to tan, Kevin to be home, and some food in my tummy.

I SHOULD … spend more time with God, more time learning to be a good administrator under His authority, study some on how to go about starting a non-profit, work on trying to find staff members who are committed to working in this ministry, and spend time learning how to be a good wife and home manager.

Dear Wind,

Could you please sweep down the plains a little more slowly?

Thanks,

The forecast for today says “Chance Sprinkles.”

This is the first thing that came to mind:

Hope you all have a great Easter.

    I have no idea what was going on with me this morning. I woke up around 7 o’clock and before I realized what had happened, I had vacuumed the entire house.

  • So, you think he’s a Mormon?

    Aug 16, 2006 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Thinking

    I was sitting here, thinking about SYTYCD (Benji in particular), and I say to myself “I find myself strangely attracted to that toothy young man…I bet he’s a Mormon.”

    (Another little list for you!) If I were to suddenly have five children of my own, the names I would give them are as follows:

    Laurel Magnolia
    Lily Margaret
    Thea Elaine
    Carter Rollins
    Nicholas Brennan

    Actually, I only want four. Maybe a little steep for some people, but it’s better than seven, which is what I was planning on for many years of my life following the “Sound of Music” phase. What more could a girl ask for than her own little singing troupe? For the record, I think suddenly becoming mother to five is preferable to all the work I’ll have this semester.
