Things About Me

I know I need to post an entry explaining my "family drama" I mentioned earlier, and I will;  just not ready to yet. 

I just got off the phone with my dad, and was sitting in my rocking chair on the front porch pondering both of my parents.  I was thinking about how I have so many qualities, good and bad, of both of my parents. And, in alot of ways, my mom and dad share some very similar traits. 

Things I inherited from my dad:  Anxiety (thanks dad), my height, my metabolism, being meticulous, being a good speller, my good grammar skills, my quick temper, my curly hair, my forehead, my appreciation for my family, my taste for pickles, olives, and tabasco sauce, my skinny legs, my sense of loyalty, wanting to be right all of the time, wanting to fix things for other people, my attitude (and I don't mean my GOOD attitude - haha), loving Willie Nelson, peanuts in Dr. Pepper (Brent thinks that is SO strange, but try it, it's good!), my love of good music (everything from the Allman Brothers to Elvis to Willie Nelson to Aerosmith to The Doors)!

Things I inherited from my mom:  OCD about my house being clean, my love of cooking and trying new recipes, my bad night vision, corns on my little toes (ok, gross, but true-hehe), my eyes, my hands and feet, my love of laying out in the sun, my decorating sense, my appreciation for nice things, liking the BeeGees,  not loving breakfast foods or fruit, being a caretaker, being bossy, being indecisive, my sweet side (which Brent says needs to come out more often - haha!), wanting to fix things for other people, loving Willie Nelson, my appreciation for my family, my taste for cheese, potato chips, and bread,  being meticulous.
