me

Since this blog is really my journal, I'm gonna be self indulgent. This next post is actually for my children's children's children when they wanna know a little bit about Granny Heidi in a nutshell. Or a little more than a nutshell. Anyway, lately I've been thinking. I'm a pretty easy going person for the most part. I go with the flow, do whatever the crowd is doing, not a picky eater, etc. But I've decided that I definitely have some opinions about who I am and what I like. Wanna know what they are? Here goes...

1. I'm scared of riding a bike. The last time I hopped on a bike was about ten years ago when I had a near death experience. Or what I thought was a near death experience. Maybe that's why I have no patience for bike riders sharing the road with me.
2. I love when I can verbalize my feelings just right. It is very satisfying.
3. I get road rage easily.
4. If given the choice between a hunk of meat and bowl of pasta I'd choose pasta most of the time.
5. I like simple fashion. I don't do a lot of accessories. I leave the accessorizing to my beautiful sister, Holly.
6. I used to be a turtleneck girl (like Diane Keaton ) but now I'm more of a scarf girl. That being said, I will always have a soft spot for the turtleneck.
7. If I was told I had 30 days to live I would pack up my family and move to Maui. Complete truth.
8. I have a hard time with fake people and people who are motivated by appearances. I hope that's never me.
9. I appreciate good food and complex flavors.
10. I am my worst critic.
11. I worry too much.
12. I have weird and vivid dreams.
13. I am usually not afraid to be myself.
14. I feel very passionately about the Gospel and my testimony and will defend them with my life.
15. People and their behaviors fascinate me.
16. I am analytical for sure.
17. I don't like to run. Walking is more my thing.
18. I was never motivated to give birth without medication.
19. I'm grateful for hard life experiences. They help me have empathy for others.
20. I love good clean humor, but also occasionaly laugh at potty humor.
21. The older I get the more I enjoy cleaver, feel good movies. I don't need added stress in my life.
22. I don't like annoying kid's shows. There are plenty of non-obnoxious shows to choose from.
23. Sometimes I can be paranoid especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of my family.
24. My children are my everything.
25. My husband is my perfect fit.
26. I try and see the good in people and give them the benefit of the doubt. But I can be judgmental too.
27. I'm far from perfect.
28. Small things make me excited and happy.
29. I love going to the movies for popcorn with extra butter and sprite. That being said, I am not a huge soda drinker.
30. Dessert is always better with chocolate.
31. My makeup motto: less is more unless it's winter and I'm scary pasty...then I need more.
32. I like comfy fashion. If I'm comfortable then I'm confident.
33. I love jammy bottoms. I can never have too many pairs.
34. Working with the Young Women has been my favorite calling.
35. I love to nurture my flowers and plants.
36. I've always wanted to be a dancer.
37. I'm not a big fan of milk chocolate covered strawberries. White chocolate are soo much better.
38. I appreciate good musicals. Wicked is my favorite.
39. I love my country and often tear up when saying the pledge of allegiance.
40. I receive great pleasure in writing.
