Ok, I admit it. I LOVE getting tagged for things. Call it part attention whoring, but mainly, it gives me a good blog topic to cover as I’m running out of posts!

^WiseGuy^ was kind enough to tag me with the Honest Scrap. Love it! Looks like I need to list 10 “honest” things about myself. These are so much fun, because I find myself remembering, or thinking about something that I haven’t thought about in years!

  1. I hate, despise, and avoid confrontations at all cost, even to my own determent. I’ll go out of my way to get out of them, even it it means that I’m stuck in a bad spot. The act of confrontation is just too much effort for me. Well that, and I’m a push over.
  2. As a child, I was entirely too sensitive for my own good. Most days at elementary school resulted in massive teasing that would reduce me to tears. Ok, maybe I had a small dandruff problem, and being called Snow Man is a little funny, but not at the time. My brother was the biggest instigator in all of this and it caused a tear in our relationship that took many years to repair.
  3. It’s very easy for me to keep giving people the benefit of the doubt. I see things though rose colored glasses, even if I’ve been proven otherwise. I like to see the best in people, even if they’ve let me down. I’m very quick to forgive and forget. In a related note, if Shelby and I get in a massive fight, I’m completely over it and have moved on by the morning, and am almost surprised when I get the cold shoulder come “cuddle time” in the morning.
  4. I fricking LOVE to spend money. Shelby does too, though I’m much worse. It doesn’t really matter what I’m buying, but I especially love to spoil Shelby. “oh, that dress is so expensive, but it looks good! Oh and get those diamond earings too.” Luckily for our pocket book, Shelby has better common sense (most of the time). I’m midly terrified when we start shopping for baby stuff, because our common sense will be thrown out the door. I feel like this baby will be a once in our lifetime experience and we’re going to blow our load on the kid. (uhh, too late).
  5. We have a home in Idaho, where we own more than it’s worth. We can’t refinance since it’s a rental, don’t have enough equity to refinance, and I feel completely helpless. I’ve always been the type of person to create my own opportunities, to help myself, but this is one instance where I just want to bury my head in the sand and hope it goes away. I’m secretly jealous of those that just give up and walk away from their obligation and sometimes with I could do the same.
  6. I’m a hardcore procrastinator. I do my best work on a deadline. There are times where I do things too quickly, and people mistake it for lack of effort. Working in the technology field, this can pose a problem to those that do not understand technology. Just because something only takes me a day, doesn’t mean that research, years of experience, and expertise didn’t go into the process.
  7. I hate elitism and egos. People who are entirely ego and think their shit doesn’t stink, makes me nauseous. I have no respect for people like that. Though, in the same breath, I can be a wine or food snob at times, but at least I know my shit stinks!
  8. I care, too much, about what people think of me. It’s very easy for me to remember every criticism, but forget any kind words.
  9. Sometimes, I’m worried that I’ll be jealous of our little one stealing all the attention. I’m more than happy to be “second” but I love attention, so I worry, a little, about not getting it.
  10. I hate tagging other bloggers for things like this. I was always the last kid picked for kickball, and I don’t want to leave people out. So I’ll procrastinate and not tag anyone :)
