No Shame In My Game

My friend Carla started a list of things she's not ashamed of.  She's trying to get to 43 things (she's 43 years old) and her list inspired me to create one of my own.  I'm not going to try to get to 46 but I'll share a few with you here.  Maybe I'll include more in future blogs.  So here's a few of my things I should be ashamed of but I'm not:

1.  I am a daddy's girl.  I admit it. Always have been, always will be.  It's fortunate that I'm his only child because I'm not willing to share. He's mine, mine, mine!

2.   I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  I really don't want to work at all but since I'm not independently wealthy and my dad won't support me I have to work. I don't gamble or play the lottery so I have to work.  Darn!

3.  I sing along with the radio in my car.  LOUDLY.  Even when I get home in the driveway.   I know my neighbors get a big kick out of my serenades and the dance routines that sometimes accompany them.  Music moves my soul and is a big part of my family's life and is as much a part of me as breathing.  America's Got Talent, here I come!

4.  I can be intimidating to some people who don't know me.  I am aware of this and sometimes I intend to be :)  I am actually quite reserved until I get to know you and sometimes that can come off as cold or aloof.  Don't be scared.  I'm really nice, I don't bite (usually). 

5.  I don't follow all the rules I was brought up with.  I don't make my bed every day ( ask my college roommate about that), I don't clean my house every Saturday and do laundry every Saturday and I very rarely eat vegetables, just meat.

6.  I don't like to let people know how smart I am.  I'd rather be underestimated, it gives me the element of surprise.  I believe in never letting anyone know everything you know.

7.  I think, no, I know , I'm cute.  You are too!  My parents didn't make any ugly children. I believe God didn't create any ugly people.  It's just people's behavior sometimes that makes them ugly.

8.  Even though I am calm, peaceful and try to live a stress free life I am a product of my environment and if I have to get "ghetto" sometimes, I will.   I let a LOT of things go , but push too hard and feel the wrath.  You have been warned.

9. I have a crush.  No, I'm not telling who! Not until I tell him first and that may take years, LOL.

10. I am addicted to reality crime shows.  Why? I don't know.  I just am.  Maybe I'm trying to figure out how to commit the perfect crime.  LOL

That's enough for now, you all don't have to know ALL my bad habits.  Ten is enough.  I don't want to ruin your perfect image of me.  After all I'm old enough to know better..........................
