{ Me thinks Monday...}

So for me thinks here are some real
Me thinks

25 random and uninteresting things about me. I'm actually combining two fun tags that way maybe I'll be able to think of {un}interesting things about me!

I do a couple loads of laundry just about every morning so I never have piles of laundry.


When I wash my hands anywhere I wash the sink faucet too and then wash my hands again.

I always have to double check everything before I go to bed and everything has to be picked up and clean.

I drive to fast

I love healthy food that makes me feel good.

I get physically ill if I've eaten something greasy or pretty much smell grease.

I used to sing a lot and was in quite a few plays growing up.
I've been to Germany for a week and loved it. {want to go again anywhere over there}

I cry when I see children hurting or who have been abused.

I was a cook on my dad's charter fishing boat for a summer in 1996.

I hate rap. But love music everywhere from Enya to Enrique.
I don't like dogs or cats at all.

I love learning about people and seeing that we are all the same no matter what package we come in.

I have to park in the same general area of a store parking lot or it bugs me.

I can't stand having anything on my head like hats or something.

I have managed a high rise for eight months -hated it.
I honestly feel bad if I don't get on my treadmill or go running when its nice outside.

I am addicted to DAYS of our lives and have been for over 13 years

I got my drivers when I was 21

I attended early morning seminary and release time seminary in the same semester {twice}

I always wish I was at least about 5'5 that's probably why I always wear big shoes

I have the same hair, same makeup everyday and I shower every morn and get dressed like I'm going out whether I am or not.

Tip 32 Healthy Living

"We all suffer from stress at one time or another. For some of us, stress is an everyday burden. But most cases of "stress-out-to-the-max," are caused by our own personal way of thinking. In other words, it's not always the situation that cause stress, but our own, self-conjured reaction to the situation that does.

Make a conscientious effort today not to stress over the little things.

Try not to be a worrywart. Try not to stew and stress over situations that you cannot change. And try to think about one day at a time: TODAY.

Lastly, be a positive thinker. If you're in a difficult situation, accept the reality and think about how you can move on, move forward, or improve the situation. Stewing over how difficult things are doesn't make them any easier. So don't waste your valuable time. "

--

Seriously we bring half of our problems on ourselves by the way we react to them. I for one feel like I've been stressing out lately over stupid little things that don't matter no matter how hard I try not to.

I think when we don't let go of the things that have happened in the past it only brings more undo stress in our lives with each passing year. We need to get rid of the baggage that doesn't matter and stop blaming our problems and reactions on things or people of the past. I know to many people holding onto the past.
We are in charge of our own destinies. So what are we doing with it?

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. ~John De Paola

" Stewing over how difficult things are doesn't make them any easier. So don't waste your valuable time. " LOL! SO TRUE!

Loved your workout song list! I will burn me a CD I think of those.

I really liked your {un}interesting things too! Lot's there that we are the same of....like drivers at 21...and not liking cats or dogs, or eating non greasy food...

And yet we are the complete opposite on some....like that hat thing.....I wear SO MANY hats. Almost everyday. LOVE them! I think I have more hats than shoes. LOL!

loved your post...and you and I are SO alike in SO many ways. I HATE hats too...or anything on my head LOL! I guess I just hate messing up my hair. I too shower every morning and get "ready" even if I stay at home all day. But I am guilty of letting the kids stay in their pj's all day...on occasion LOL!

Some people hate these About Me Tags, but I love them. It gets a person thinking about their own little quirks and have them recorded. And for those of us reading the tag, we get to know you so much better. Love this post.

Carrie said...

Andy said...

i wash taps when I wash my hands too, even at other people's houses... or at a restaurant, I'll use paper towel to clean the tap... I can't believe I just admitted that....

Holly said...

I LOVED reading your tag! :) You are so right! We are all have similarities no matter where we come from! :) I'm going to have to go check out the new Work Out playlist! :)

Kim said...

It was fun reading your list of things about yourself...all of it was interesting! And I think I need to check out your workout playlist...I'm not supposed to work out right now, but I've been doing stretching and stuff so I'm always looking for new music! And I love your throughts on stress and positive thinking...stress is part of what made my hubby really really sick when he was younger and it's amazing how it's really effected his whole life. :)
