D…Dare I?

June 18th, 2006

This week my letter is D. As I think of D, so many words come to my mind, so I think it will be tricky to find the ones that really define me.

  • Dork - I’m such a dork…. a HUGE dork in fact (no pun intended there :p). I love to have fun and just be a goofball. I’m afraid I will be one of those parents who always embarrass their children :D . At least that is what i will strive to be!
  • Demanding - I am extremely demanding of myself. I hold myself to a standard that I believe is sometimes unattainable. This makes it very easy to disappoint myself I’m afraid.
  • Distant - When I have a rough day or something is bothering me, I tend to just shut out people and I get very distant.
  • Delicious - Does this REALLY need an explanation :D
  • Disappointed - I am quite disappointed with myself in so many ways. I like to think I’m a strong woman who can be very disciplined but sometimes I set goals for myself and I just CAN’T keep them no matter what I do.
  • Deliberate -
  • I typically don’t do things without a reason. I think things through before I act for the most part.

  • Dutiful - I posess a great sense of duty and have no problem fulfilling obligations. I won’t commit to something unless I know i will follow-through.
  • Delightful - I think I’m just a bowl full of roses. Can you smell them :D
  • Direct - You won’t get fluff or pretty pictures with me. I will tell it like I see it.

Letter of the Week - C

June 12th, 2006

Continuing the commitment I made back here, I need to tr to come up with 10 words that start with C that can describe me.

Clever - I like to think I’m pretty damn funny. I’m not the loud, outgoing type that can walk into a room and be the life of the party. I am pretty quiet but when I talk, I quite often shut everyone up. I can be quite clever.

Coy - I can be quite shy and reserved. I’m usually very quiet in a lot of social situations.

Critical - I’m extremely critical of myself. Overly-critical I’d say. Sigh…..

Creative - Think outside of the box? I certainly do!

Cautious - If i want a new car, for example, I will research for months, sometimes years, before I buy. I make sure I do all of my research and only then will I make a purchase.

Caring - I love to love. I have so much love and affection to give–an infinite amount!

Cheerful - In general I’m a happy person.

Charismatic - When I work I am very charismatic. I am able to motivate and encourage the people that work with me or for me.

Capable - I am very capable in a lot of areas in my life.

Cool - I’m one cool chick!

B is for…

June 1st, 2006

Last week I wrote 10 adjectives about myself that start with The Letter A. I’ve decided to continue this and do up to 10 adjectives each week for the next letter in the alphabet. This week, the letter is B. It’s kind of fun doing this because it gives you the opportunity to do some self-analysis. Let me know if you’d like a letter!

Big - That’s how I feel lately. Real damn BIG!

Bold - If there is something I want, I usually go after it. I’m a risk taker. Read the rest of this entry »

The Letter “A”

May 25th, 2006

Margaret made a post about the letter “S”. This is a blogging game where someone gives you a letter and you say 10 words about yourself that start with that letter. Margaret gave me the letter “A”. Thanks for the hard one Margaret. Maybe you should have given me “x” instead ;)

Anyway, It was very informational and I learned a lot about Margaret! So, here is my go at it. If you want a letter, let me know.

The Letter A

Ambitious - I am extremely ambitious in my career. I seem to excel at whatever I do and continue to rise up in the ranks. Now I’m in the process of getting my company FULL TIME!

Anxious part 1 - I can use this word to descibe me in a few ways. I get anxious and I can stress out about things. This definitely is something I need to work on.

Anxious part 2 - I’m anxious to just feel better and feel happier! I know how good life can be and I’m anxious to have that again!

Authentic - I’m real. What you see is what you get. I am a tell it like it is kind of girl.

Achiever - I achieve things. I typically achieve everything I set my mind to. Which is why I’m here. I’m trying to set my mind to this. To getting healthy both emotionally and physically.

Atypical - I like to think that I’m not your average girl. I’m definitely not a cookie-cutter anything. I don’t try to fit the mold.

Adventurous - I love to try new things. I will try anything once.. maybe twice (i can already see where your mind is going and stop right there!!!) just to confirm that I really didn’t like it. I take risks and i try to enjoy life to its fullest. This next phase of my life isn’t just a journey.. it’s an adventure.

Athletic - Or at least I used to be. I LOVE sports.. and not just to watch them, but to play them. I miss this side of me b/c it really it was I enjoy. Right now when i run though, i feel every jiggle and shake there is and its hard to ignore it.

Abnormal - I never fit into a group. I make individual friends here and there and I usually have them for life. I’m a little off, you could say. But once you take the time to get to know me, people usually like me and they have a friend who would do anything for them.

Afraid - What if i afraid of? I have two big fears and I’m experiencing them both right now. Fear of failure is the first one. No one wants to set a goal for themselves and then fail. I try to keep my goals very small and achievable when i’m feeling weak and unsure. As I feel stronger I will make them a little harder to reach. Fear of the unknown is the second one. When I don’t know what’s going to happen, I don’t know how to act. I am a planner. If I know what’s going to happen, no matter how bad it is, I can deal with it. It’s not knowing that scares the hell out of me.

That’s 10 things even though I used the same word twice. This is kind of neat to be able to look inward at myself and really think about it. Perhaps I’ll try a new letter each week.
