I though maybe I'd jot down some random facts about me... maybe call it my blog 25 :oP I don't know if there will actually be 25 but we'll just start with number 1 :)
* I constantly make up facebook status' in my head. No joke, its like talking to myself in the third person... Beth is feeling this or that, or Beth is doing this, etc... I sometimes have to remind myself to focus on what I'm doing and quit posting status' in my brain.
* If i was not married or had no kids, I would SOOO be that cat lady :) I seriously can't imagine life with out cats. Its nerdy I know.
* My favorite color all throughout life has been pink but in the last few years I've broadened my horizons and now really enjoy bright yellow, green and blue. I am slowly warming up to purple :oP I focus more of the pink attention on C.Rose
* I used to get a cat calender every year for Christmas and i saved a lot of them because I always wanted to frame them. I miss getting them.
* My daughter likes everyone else but me some times but that's ok, because i feel the same way sometimes too.
* I am working really hard at growing out my fingernails. I have been a chronic nail-biter since i can remember and when I saw C watching me and imitating it, I freaked! Its hard and that probably sounds dumb but it is.
* Physical touch is my strongest love language and i realize this more with my husband gone. The opening line from the movie Crash has always been stuck with me from the very first time i watched the movie. Graham, the cop, said, " It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something. "
I can have a life or death conversation with someone and not remember a word that was said but i will for sure remember if they touched my hand while talking or put a hand on my shoulder or hugged me. I have always been like that, i remember a lot of encounters with people throughout the years but what sticks out to me in those memories is the touches i received from or gave to others. It has been a long time since I've had a genuine embrace or 'touch of endearment' as i like to call the little touches.
* I use the word ignorance lightly because I took the negative connotation off of it and now look at it as simply a lack of knowledge. I think I have offend people using it this way. Sorry if that was you, its nothing personal, I don't think you are stupid, just lacking in knowledge on whatever subject we were discussing.
* There is nothing better to me that being in the bath tub for hours! I will sometimes let the water all the way out only to fill the tub again with hot water... aka what I am doing at this moment :) Gotta love multi-tasking.
* I secretly feel bad for other women because I know there is no other man like mine and that he is the absolute best. Sorry ladies, you missed out on him.
* I have slept in my big comfy king sized bed maybe 5 times in the last 5 and a half months. It is very hard for me to sleep there without Eric. I stick to the couch mostly. When I did sleep in the bed it was because i was sick and needed to stay close to the bathroom so i could throw up :oP
* I Love Grey's Anatomy! Every season! Even though its basically the same thing over and over with Mer and Der... I love them! :) And the fact that their marriage in the finale was on a post it just makes me giddy :)
* I'm addicted to Old Navy! Especially online! I have a consistent shopping cart there, It always has stuff in it :)
* I still really wish I would have had Booty stuffed. I miss her a lot. It would make my day to look over and see her curled up in her little pink bed snoozing. I miss her weird 'Meehhhhh' kind of meow.
* Surprisingly it is hard for me to make GOOD friends. It takes a long time and a lot of commitment, 2 things most people aren't willing to put into other people outside of their family or significant other. But Once I make a friend it is extremely hard for me to say goodbye. In the past when I've moved from one place to another after making good friends, I have found that I distance myself emotionally form them in order to somehow make the separation easier, it never works and I always cry... a lot. When I was in high school and my friend Ashley was going away to college I cried at a church retreat for 5 HOURS... yes FIVE! Just over her moving an hour or so away... geezz! She was worth it ;)
Those are just a few random facts about me. Hopefully it gives you a little more insight into my crazy brain (that constantly writes status updates, like Beth is really enjoying this blog and hopes you are too!) and who I am.
