Unfortunately I do not know 7 bloggers to forward this too but I still wanted to participate...although coming up with 7 new traits y'all don't already know about is kind of hard. I am just the same old Amanda - high strung as ever.
1)I do not have a green thumb. I wish I did but it's just not my talent. I couldn't keep a small pot of basil alive - very sad as I sure love basil!
2) I shave my legs every day. It goes back to high school - Debbie remembers - when I broke my arm the night before our football game. I hadn't shaved all week b/c I knew I would that Friday morning in order to wear my cheerleading skirt. After 6 more days of no shaving in the hospital I was completely grossed out. So 18 years later...still shaving daily.
3) I like to work. There are days where I want to jump out a window because of work, but overall I still like to work. That all being said, I need to find a way to work less hours...like a 40 hour week would be nice?
4) Much like Jules, running is a huge part of my life. And it's all thanks to her! It's so mental for me as well as physical and I can't wait to get back to full strength here soon. I have my post baby 1/2 marathon picked out - it's the Thanksgiving race - which will be here before we all know it.
5)I eat my frozen yogurt (every night - pregnant or not) out of a coffee cup instead of a bowl. Drives my husband nuts. I feel like I put less in the cup than I would in a bowl so it's a portion control thing. Not sure if that is really the case though...
6) Vamp it up. I have an affinity for vampires. It started with the Anne Rice Books and Dracula back in the 90s, and more recently the Twilight Series (note I was not a fan of the movie and hope New Moon will be MUCH better). Now I am completely sucked into (no pun intended) True Blood on HBO, which is based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series that I am also currently reading.
7) I am a worrier. At the present moment I am worried, nervous, anxious, excited and scared about bringing a new baby into this world. Will I give Leighton as much attention as I gave Hadley? Will Hadley be ok with all of these changes? Am I doing a good job as a mom now? A wife? A professional? A friend? A runner? Will Belue get any attention ever again? How will I make all of this fit into the daily routine? I just hope and pray for two happy, healthy girls and I hope we don't let them down too often. I know we'll make mistakes; hopefully we'll continue to learn and grow from them as a family. And maybe one day I will learn to worry less and "Let It Be".
Take care!
