I am a research junkie. There has never been a decision I’ve made where I haven’t researched the living hell out of it. Be it majors, cars, houses, babies, marriage, colleges,.you name it. Because of this…my mind is a plethora of useful facts and useless knowledge.
I have an IQ of 145.
But my motivation in life is probably a 2.
It’s like a block of gold sitting on a shelf in a closet. Worth a lot…..but totally useless just sitting there….
My mind is going 24/7 ….365 days of the year.
At any given time of the day, there is a song playing in my head.
I have a knack for remembering songs, names, birthdays, and theme songs. Some find it scary….. others think Im creepy. I don’t do it on purpose. Those are just things that “stick”.
I am my own worst enemy.
But I only trust myself.
Things to make you love or hate me even more…
On Parenting:
Call me old-fashioned. I believe kids should be kids. Minimal structure with day-to-day necessity predictability (food times, bathing/soothing times, bedtime)…..but the rest of their “time” should be free-spent exploring and playing on their own! Less electronics….more good old fashioned, use your imagination toys. Infants now a days are over-stimulated and too quickly labeled with allergies, and disorders. Medications fly off pharmacy shelves with too much ease.
I don’t support extended breastfeeding.
I think “time-outs” have their place and time…..but are waaaay too over-used and abused in our society. My child is 3, and has been in “time-out” 2x in her life. She is very well behaved most of the time.
Super Nanny is certainly NOT always right. What works for one child, will not necessarily work for the next.
It makes me sad to see kids spend 6 weeks old til 18 years old in a daily school environment. Its like a whole portion of childhood has been missed. I have witnessed first hand the effects on children from this. When given “free” time…..they tend to have no clue what to do...as life is usually always dictated as to what to do next.
Politics:
I was a born and raised Republican in a very close-minded Republican household. As I grow and my life instances change…..so have my political views (much to my father’s dismay)…..and as I stand now….i feel like im stuck in the middle of the road….. and neither political side looks inviting. …….i hope no trucks come…or ill be smooshed.
I learned early on in life to keep your political views to yourself. There is nothing more vicious than a argument about crooked politicians…..cause in the end, no one is right……
Religion:
Death is a scary, uncertain thing. Religion steps in and makes this uncertainty less scary. Pick and choose your potion. There is no right or wrong…..but fictional stories to help ease our minds. I support people’s beliefs and decisions on what religion to believe in. It gives people purpose and meaning in life. Gives them hope and something to look forward to. BUT… it is just that. A “belief”. Nor fact or fiction. Just something to believe in.
Ive reaseached so many religions….and really….they almost all forms of cults. A club, with brainwashing messages. Believe us, or you sin. Nothing else is correct, except for what we say! Websters does say a cult is: ” great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work” .
Yea…Im sure there was a man named Jesus. He probably did do some amazing things and preached about some great ideas. And it sucks people didn’t believe him and thought he was full of it. But a lot of the story is just that…..story. Its like prehistoric Hollywood….add in some flash, romance, boom, death…. Supernatural…and hey …you got a great story!!!
Life in General...
I am a pretty good cook. I make a kick ass quiche.... great homemade sauce....awesome meatballs.... an amazing pasta salad..... just to name a few. I thank my Grandpa for this gift....and secretly feel he guides me sometimes in the kitchen!! ........
We dont buy many "boxed" meals....as the preservatives tend to make me feel ill. Besides....i'd much rather make the stuff from scratch. Granted, we DO have the occasional boxed mac & cheese....we do the Lipton rice packets with meals a lot....saves time...and they taste great...but have sooo much sodium! Much healthier and tastier to just make the stuff from scratch.
High Frustose Corn Syrup is so disgusting and horrible what it does to the body. It irritates me that healthy foods without it are so f'in pricey!!!
We recycle. We reuse.
We're so good at it, for a family of 3...with 2 pets ....we average one tall kitchen bag of trash a week.
We now garden. It's an amazing satification to grow, pick and use your own vegetables! I want to try some fruit bushes next year. We do have a peach & apple tree....but they are still babies and have a few more years before they produce anything for us....
I hate clutter.....but my basement & home office show a different world. Ugh. It's so over-full....i never know where to start!!! At least we can close the doors to those areas and pretend they dont exist! ;-)
My mom is a clean freak....my dad a neat freak. Put them together....and here i am.
I'm allergic to the stuff that makes artifical "sour apple" and "cinnamon" flavorings.
I think if i went on a gluten free diet....i'd finally win my weight-loss battle. Wait...i *KNOW* i would.
But i love sandwiches....cereal.... pizza..... damnit.
Seafood makes me gag. I see dishes of nice filets....lobster too.... and they LOOK and SOUND amazing.....i have the full intention of trying some....but once it's in front of me....its like my body refuses. I cannot even put it into my mouth........ my mind wants some...but my body says NO!
I love '90's alternative rock music. Had i been in my 20's in the early 1990s....i would have moved to Seattle. It's what drives me..and it's what soothes me.
I also dig rock, classic rock and hot new country. Edgier, the better. Ballards are lame....save'm for weddings.
thats all i got. hate me yet?
