Ten Things you may or may not know about Mamalouise:
1. I am an excellent multi-tasker. I can literally finish three things at once and sometimes when I hit, save, send, save in a matter of seconds and realize that literally just ADD'd out on three documents but also got them done efficiently I laugh out loud (literally) because I can't believe I just did that. My husband DOES NOT understand this by the way as I can be typing and carrying on a conversation with him about what to get at the grocery, who is picking J up and when my last meeting is for the day and really be INTO both.
2. Speaking of the above ADD, I totally think I have always had a version of this. I even went so far as to go online to adultADD.com a few years back and take the 5 question test. It said I was all good in the hood but I don't really buy it. I have never been medicated for this but honestly think I would have been a better student had I been on something. I am especially bad at this if I have too much multi-tasking/on my mind. I jump all over the place in a conversation with someone and even annoy myself.
3. I have excellent peripheral vision. I feel like this is a gift because I can see so much having this. Its like seeing a panoramic view of the world 24/7...creepy eh? :)
4. I love to dance. I even toss around the idea of taking a dance class of sorts now. I am by no means very good at dancing but I loved being on a dance team/show choir back in the day and knowing moves to an entire song. It was just plain fun. Now I just make up my moves and sadly, JD has picked most of them up, but I could sing and dance all day, every day and be the happiest girl in the world. Makes me wonder why I didn't go live on a cruise ship for a few years after college. Could have been fun...oh but don't worry I tell P-Daddy all the time that when we retire we should do something like that! Would keep us younger! HA! But at that point I would probably be more qualified to be a dealer in the casino than sing and dance-which also would work for me!
5. The men in my life have better wardrobes than me. I would MUCH rather dress them than myself. My husband probably has more shoes than I do even! Its not that I don't like fashion, or looking nice...believe me I do. I just LOVE to purchase them clothes. I feel its easier to dress them than myself. I am working on this factoid about me though...because I don't want them looking all pretty all the time and not be included in the prettiness. HA!
6. I got my belly button pierced when I was 15 years old, took that baby out when I was 21 years old and I STILL HAVE THE HOLE AT 29 years young. Note to all young readers out there...when you get a belly ring because you think it is less invasive to the body than a tattoo...you are wrong. It will permanently scar your body with a hole, gross. I am soo getting plastic surgery though (probably, hopefully) after any and all children are born in this family because in general there has been "damage" to that area done that no one BUT a surgeon could fix. Damnit to 15 year old logic and Damnit to all those doughnuts I ate during pregnancy. :)
7. I have driven some sort of SUV since 2000 (with a small blip in the radar of a Honda Civic for a hot second). So far my favorite has been the Acura MDX, but I would never own one again because I had more problems with that thing than ever (which is why I don't own it anymore). But it was oh so pretty and special. Have I mentioned that I also love to drive and am kind of a control freak about this particular thing in my life? Oh...well then yeah, I am like that so having a car that I love is kind of important. :) If the Chevy Tahoe wasn't such a gas hog, there would be a beautiful black one in my garage right now. Maybe one day...
8. I was an "athlete" growing up. I put "athlete" because my career pretty much peaked in 5th grade with being a "star" at SLOW PITCH softball. But I am glad that I was able to be involved with so many sports. I obviously feel this helped me keep in shape for most of my life as I have never been scared of a gym or athletic opportunity, but I am also glad to know about these sports and be able to play/practice with our children some day soon!
9. I love making photo books (not to be mistaken for scrapbooks), and memory picture videos. So far JD has a memory video for each year of his life, along with a photo book. I don't plan to stop this tradition as it is so much fun! And how fun will it be to combine all of these and put together a super long one to play as a loop at his high school graduation party? Oh yeah, already planning that! :)
10. I had a concentration in Speech Communications in college. I loved learning the art of articulating myself well in public situations. I didn't know until I started attending professional education seminars that the number ONE fear of most adults is public speaking! I have always felt God gave me my voice for a reason and I have ALWAYS had something to say, so why not use that voice? But I totally get it, for those that do have that fear. I still get a little scared before I go before a group but it gives me such a rush to be able to share whatever is on the agenda that day. :)
And believe me when I say, you are ALL winners...so please except this award on behalf of me! :)
