Just a little more about the Southern Sweetie....

Saw this over on ClassyNTrashy's blog...The Trashy side (who is a super sweet friend of mine) posted this and I thought I would do the same. :)


I'm weird because...
-Most people would probably see me as lazy, but the term that actually applies is scared. After so many failures in the past (or "life lessons" for you eternally optimistic people), I am scared to put myself out there. It makes me look lazy to the naked eye, though. 
-Even numbers freak me out. Which, in turn, makes each year odd. On an odd numbered year, I am an even numbered age. When I turned 32, I assumed it would be a HORRIBLE year. There HAVE been some bad moments, but I was also happier, in one sense, than I ever was before. Was it because it was an odd numbered year, or are even numbered birth ages actually good luck? See...I'm weird! ha
-I can watch someone vomit, give blood, see odd medical experiments on TV, etc...but if I see a maggot on TV (or GOD FORBID, in person...which has only happened once), I get sick immediately. 
-I am a Ford girl all the way, but out of the 4 cars I've owned in my life, two have been Chevy's. Also...they were the ones that gave me the worst problems, I might add! ;)
-I paid a LOT of money for a NOOKcolor when they were new, but find it weird to read a book on a computer screen, so I primarily use it for a tablet device or to read magazines. In fact, I have purchased one book on my NOOK and am just now getting around to reading it. 


I'm a bad friend because...
-the "only child" in me carries a selfish gene, it seems. 
-I love having multiple good friends, but can only seem to devote my time to a couple of them
-I love going out, but also love just staying in, so I'm not always up for big plans out
-I have no money, so can never afford random trips and adventures like I used to love
-I have a hard time with forgiveness and accepting that no one (especially not me!) is "perfect"
-I am single and hate being a "third wheel"


I'm a good friend because...
-I am devoted to my friends
-I often care about others more than myself
-I find ways to be happy, even when jealous
-I have a hard time saying "no"
-I am trustworthy


I'm sad because...
-my heart was hurt this past week
-I am having to take a good, hard look at myself
-I had a vision that another didn't share
-I don't live in Charlotte, NC
-I don't have a job
-this Christmas season isn't anywhere near the way I expected it to be
-I can't change what is
-I want the tears to stop
-it is winter and I hate snow


I'm happy because...
-I have been forced to be selfish and focus on myself
-I learned this week that my friends are even more amazing than I realized
-I have a Mom who is there for me 24/7
-I think 2012 has the possibility to be an amazing year
-I refuse to give up
-I believe God has spoken to me about a situation and I am leaning on His words
-being without a job so long has taught me to be frugal, which will affect my life in a positive way in the future 
-I am genuinely hopeful I haven't lost a best friend in all that has happened lately


I'm excited for...
-the job or freelance work that I believe is on its way
-possibly going to Bristol Motor Speedway's "Speedway in Lights" this season
-the Christmas season, despite some negative factors
-moving out or away in the near future. I love my Mom more than words, but my life has to begin
-the promise God spoke to me recently
-the spirit of family and friends I feel at Christmas
-2012, even if it IS an even numbered year
-giving you, my readers, more blogs in 2012...I PROMISE!
