I am....

Last Sunday I said I was going to try to blog a bit more often. Well, obviously this plan did not work out so well. I stumbled upon a blog recently with answering the following questions, so I decided I would post my thoughts.

I am...

wishing everyone lived a life of integrity.
I think...

I need to find a true passion (non-work related). I need to truly explore what makes ME happy. Is it photography, jogging, music, what "hobby" completes me?


I should...

get my doctorate. My goal has been doctorate before 40, but I just haven't been too inspired lately.
I dream...
about being debt free.
I want...
to lose 50 pounds. I know, not very unique. Who doesn't want to lose weight, but 50 lbs would be AMAZING!
I know...
I am loved by many friends and family.
I don't like...
vegetables. I wonder if there is a connection with the lbs above with my dislike of veggies. Mmmmm!! Just wondering.
I smell...
Jayme's (the golden) farts. Gross, but my reality.
(Had to add this photo, because it just makes me crack up! The funniest Jayme picture ever.)
I hear...
Adam Lambert on my I-Pod. I really like him! I am glad he didn't win Idol; he deserved to make a name for himself (not as an American Idol winner).
I fear...
being alone. My husband and son are my whole life and I hate being without them (even when they drive me crazy).
I search...
blogs and websites which inspire, educate, and make me laugh.
I miss...
my mom (everyday Mommy...I LOVE YOU!)

I always...
am second guessing myself. My controlling ways are always present and take over my thoughts.
I crave...
chocolate. Again, love of chocolate...hate of veggies...losing 50 lbs. Come on Em, don't you see the connection. HA! HA!

I remember...
my one BIG birthday party. Brandi and I shared our party, because our b-day’s are so close together (Brandi-10/9 Emily 10/10). We had lunch, cake, and a piƱata in the backyard at the Studebaker house and then went bowling. Super fun!
I need…
to be balanced. I don’t do well when I feel overwhelmed and behind. I need routine, structure, and always know the plan.
I forget…
things that happen more than a year ago. Brad can remember every detail, date, and event and it drives him crazy when I don’t recall something he remembers. He is my walking diary.
I feel…
tired. It has been a stressful few weeks and I look forward to the balance spoken of above.
I can’t…
say “roar.” It’s true. My family and friends have taught me every phonetic sound and blend; I just can’t seem to get it out right. I say “WAR.” Hey, can’t be perfect.

I am happy…
when I see Juan and Brad smile!
I sing…
just about anything. It drives Juan crazy when I roll down the window and get down with the hip hop (dancing included). Now, Brandi is the lyricist…she knows every word of every song! Amazing!
I listen…
to about any type of music.
I shop…
not very often anymore. That ol’ debt free thing, you know.
I eat…
anything yummy! I love food! Do we really have to add salt to the wound. Was this blog starter blog planted, so I would keep thinking about the 50 lbs. Damn you blog posts!!
I love…
my FAMILY!

Now, your turn. Cut and paste these sentence starters to reflect on your “I AM”
I am
I think
I should
I dream
I want
I know
I don’t like
I smell
I hear
I fear
I search
I miss
I always
I crave
I remember
I need
I forget
I feel
I can’t
I am happy
I sing
I listen
I shop
I eat
I love

Too much to BLOG about

So, it is Sunday night and I should be getting ready for some shut eye.
ZzzzzZzzzzZZZzzz

But then I realized I haven't blogged all week.
Well, I am going to keep this short anyway!

This week has challenged be emotionally and mentally both professionally and personally. Big thanks to my family and friends for their love and support. I am so grateful for Brad and Juan---they make me smile, cry, yell, shout, cheer, and most of all, LOVE!

I hope to have some future blogs which generate provoking thoughts and discussion. Be sure to let me know if you want to hear about anything in particular. Some have asked me to write about work. Although I love my job, I probably won't write about it too much. This blog tends to be my personal outlet where I leave work, work!!

Keep reading!
