Wendy in a Nutshell

1. I'm a horrible fast drawer (like for pictionary), but if I take my time I surprise myself.
2. I love gardening--at least at first, before all the weeds poke up.
3. I'm a deep thinker and ponder about things.
4. When my home is clean I'm a nicer person to be around.
5. I expect a lot out of people, but I assume that they expect a lot out of me and I try to give that.
6. In a working environment, I prefer to be around people--not alone.
7. I'd rather stay up late instead of waking up early.
8. I'm not afraid to go to the store in sweats and no makeup--especially after I've been up all night with the kids and there's no milk for breakfast again.
9. When I ask someone to do something, I want it done right then not later...I'm kinda picky about that or I'll end up doing it myself.
10. I try to use the creative side of my brain. I push myself hard with my goals and projects.
11. I'm the tiniest, well shortest, of my siblings; but I am pretty mighty. In fact, when Chris and I were dating I put a wrestling move on him and threw him (6 foot 4) over my shoulders! OH YEAH!
12. I think of new projects usually in my sleep, and I spend a lot of time on them, even if it's a simple sharing time.
13. I have a knaack for working with kids--I love seeing them learn.
14. I've never tried alcohol before, in fact, I've never even desired it...I know, I'm a bit odd.
15. My hubby irons the clothes and I do the hammering!....No, I'm the lucky one.
16. I'm more of a surface cleaner rather than a deep cleaner...I blame it on never being able to get past everyone's clutter!
17. I like to cook restaurant type meals, but I dread the dishes every night.
18. I'm not scared to be alone at night (I work nights). My hubby bets on me that I could take down anyone who came in my way. (Refer to #11)
19. I'm pretty competitive by nature... i.e. I learned to play the piano because I simply wanted to be better than my sister when everyone thought I was still a bit to young to learn. Nope, never too young.
20. I actually enjoy spending time with my hubby (especially since it's only 1 day out of 7 that I see him).
21. I'm not very good at being rude--it actually could have come in handy back in those dating years. Good thing those are over with.
22. I can easily have a conversation with young kids and older adults--I'm still struggling with how to communicate with those crazy teenagers.
23. I can't talk to teenagers easily, but somehow I still feel like I'm 18...maybe that's the problem.
24. If I'm having a bad day, you can bet it's because I didn't take time to read my scriptures. Everytime! I can't believe it comes down to that.
25. I feel like I am the luckiest person in the world, honestly. My problems are so simple compared to the ones I see others going through. Still trying to figure out how I managed that.
