1. I am a Type-A personality, a worrier, a fretter, a dreamer, a planner. I am emotional and overly sensitive. I am a stay-up-too-late-get-up-too-early kind of gal. I am a disorganized woman who can’t function in chaos.

2. I wish I was more relaxed and laid back, and 25 pounds lighter. I wish I didn’t get so easily distracted. I wish I didn’t always forget where I left my keys, the remote, my pen, my coffee cup. I wish I didn’t yell so much. I wish the puppy didn’t wee on the floor. I wish it wasn’t such a pain in the arse to get my U.S. house rented to normal people.

3. I like lemon cake, chocolate (anything), curling up with a book and a cup of tea, curling up with my kids in the “big chair” and a stack of story books. I like going for long walks around Hay. I like comedies, watching cooking shows, browsing cookbooks and baking. I like lazy Saturday mornings in my jammies with my family.

4. I can make a mean pomegranate martini, pretty tutus, my friends laugh and a filling supper. I can also procrastinate with the best of them, and I can lose my train of….(hey, is that my coffee cup?)

5. I hope I can teach my puppy how to walk gently on a lead, sit when asked, and come when called. I hope I have taught my children to be kind and loving. I hope I make you laugh with my posts and that you come back to read more.

6. I think too much. I think I don’t always have enough faith in myself. I think I need to let go more. I think I need a piece of cake. I think children should ever know a life without love, support, encouragement, a warm place to sleep or a full belly. I think hugs are healing.

7. I was the shy, scrawny, smart girl. I was the friend of the girl everyone wanted to ask out. I was going to be an illustrator, but I lost my confidence and changed majors. I was going to be Supermom, but I’m happy being “just mom”.

What about you? How would YOU fill in the blanks?
