Descriptions…

Last night we had peanut butter and jelly – just as I predicted.

Along with bananas.

The girls were in bed by 9:30 and Jason and I were right behind them by 10:00. I finished the book I’ve been reading for the past few days.

This book is about a young woman who wakes up after one accident thinking it’s 2004 and realizing she has woken up after a completely different accident and it’s really 2007. She has forgotten the past three years of her life and people are trying to help her remember.

I became very intrigued by a continuous theme all throughout the book. “Who was she?” It depended on who was telling her. Different people had different was of describing her, but she was never fully convinced that her new “friends” really knew her. Not until she realized she was unhappy in her marriage and her lover was really the one who “got her” did she begin to remember.

I began thinking… “Who am I?” Will there be different answers from different people? How would I describe Maria?? So here goes, 10 ways to describe ME…

Honest – I may not be the most blunt person on the planet, but I do not lie. I may be afraid of hurting people’s feelings, but I would never tell you something that wasn’t true. I may enjoy celebrity gossip, but if you tell me something in confidence that’s where it stays.
Loyal- I don’t believe in affairs or backstabbing or lying or cheating. I believe that crushes are ok, but when you follow thru with them you have crossed a line that can’t be easily uncrossed. I believe that when you give someone your word you have made a promise to never betray them.
Smart – I may not be at the top end of the IQ scale, but I know my stuff. I love reading. I love art. I love documentaries. I love learning about things that interest me. If I don’t know calculus or physics or mega business deals that doesn’t make me stupid – it just means it doesn’t interest me.
Ditzy- I can really relate to Jessica Simpson! Sometimes things come out of my mouth that crack people up. I crack myself up! I like to pretend that I am just such a busy girl that my brain gets overloaded at moments and things come out before being 100% processed, but the truth is I’m a girl. I’m dingy. I say things without thinking them thru and it doesn’t always come out sounding, well…ummm, smart.
Happy- I am a believer that life is too short to be unhappy all the time. I’m not rich and probably never will be, but I don’t care. I can still be happy. I’m not someone famous or spectacularly gorgeous like I thought I would be when I was a little girl. I’m just an ordinary person and that’s ok. I’m someone’s mother and that makes me someone special.
Funny – I try to tell jokes and they rarely work out. I try to say witty things and half the time they don’t make sense, but when I’m not even trying I can come up with some hysterical stuff. Just being myself can sometimes be the funniest moments!
Loving – If you are one of the people in the world that is loved by me then you know. I love with every ounce of my being. I hug you. I kiss you. I protect you. I’m hard on you. I want good things for you. I want you to be happy. I support you. I laugh with you. I cry with you. I comfort you. I would never hurt you.
Strong – I stand up for what I believe in. I stand up for myself, but I’m not mean. I fight for what I want. I fight for what is right. I can’t stand to see injustice in the world.
Emotional - I cry ALL the time. I cry at commercials. I cry at television shows. I cry at movies. I cry at documentaries. I cry at books. I cry at songs. Basically – my emotions run so high that I can cry at the drop of a hat.
Free – I am a thinker of the things I want to think about. I don’t follow along because people tell me too. I do what I want to do, wear what I want to wear, watch what I want to watch, vote for who I want to vote for, fight for what I want to fight for and I don’t let others make me feel bad for not agreeing with them. I am my own person…

How would you describe yourself??

After all that I started a new book. It’s one I have been wanting to read for quite sometime, but always started something else. It’s a book that has been on my shelf for months and I told myself I wouldn’t see the movie before reading the book. So last night I started it.

So far it’s phenominal!

Jason went fishing bright and early this mornng with my dad and some other guys. So the girls and I woke up a few hours later and toasted bagels for our breakfast. I had a cranberry bagel with honey walnut cream cheese.

A coffee mug full of orange juice. Oh how I have missed this.

All together now…

Now I’m off to do some laundry and take the girls out for lunch. We’re going to try out a new place nearby where they make macaroni and cheese a zillion different ways!!
