I'm still behind in the April Blogging Challenge, but while I'm waiting for some laundry do finish up in the dryer, I'm going to try to get caught up.
Day 23: What are your top three worst traits?
1) I'm a major control freak. I'm not great at delegating; I usually think I can do things better myself. This is something I have been working on for a long time, as trying to do everything usually leads to me being completely overwhelmed and consequently, a nervous breakdown. I just have a hard time trusting that others can do what I do. Funnily enough, this is a problem for me at home. When it comes to work, I have no real issues with letting go anymore!
2) I have some obsessive/compulsive traits that I am working on. For example, I used to have to re-read the entire page (or sometimes chapter) if I thought I skipped a word. I meticulously keep a written log of all the books I have read. Only this past year have I been able to stop feeling guilty for not reading every. single. page. of a book....including the title page, bibliographies, dedication, about the author page, etc. This goes back to me being a control freak and learning to let go. I'm getting better, I promise!
3) I have a real lack of motivation. I am guilty of sitting on the couch with the intention of watching ONE episode of a show and 4 hours later, wondering what am I still doing here? We gave up cable about a year ago but pay $8 a month each for Netflix and Hulu Plus. Binge watching TV has always been our favorite way to watch shows. I'm thinking back to my junior year of college when I skipped so much class to powerhouse through Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill, of course with a little Taste of China takeout. My apologies to those who are now craving $4.50 lunch specials, lemon chicken, and the best egg rolls ever. Anyways, I find working with children to be Exhausting, so I give myself a pass for lounging on the couch every night. I will surely miss these days when/if I become a parent!
Day 24: Share your blog with us and let us know why you started blogging
If you're here, you know how to find my blog. I started this, mostly because I love food. People are always asking me for recipes and reviews or recommendations for restaurants. It's also a good way for me to remember exactly what I thought of places and dishes.
Day 25: What is one of the best presents you’ve ever received?
For my birthday last year, my sister, Amy, made me a coupon booklet of fun things for us to do together. I love it, and I need to cash in some of those coupons.
Day 26: Tell us things you’ve learned about life that school didn’t teach you.
Life is about being happy, not necessarily the smartest, most athletic, most well-rounded human being. It's about finding what and who you love and prioritizing!
Day 27: What are your favorite 5 blogs, other than mine of course, that you follow?
In no particular order:
The Londoner - I enjoy looking at this girl's travel, food, and fashion pictures. :)
The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle - Cookie decorating is a newish hobby of mine, and this blog has the best ones!
smitten kitchen - This is my go-to blog for delicious recipes. Sometimes I follow them as is, and sometimes I tweak them. My fave brownie recipe can be found here.
Young House Love - I love their DIY projects!
Amy Takes (a suburb of) Atlanta - My little sister is heading to Atlanta for the summer to work with students going on mission trips. I can't wait to read about her adventure!
Thanks for reading, and I'm all caught up now. Hooray! I guess it's back to laundry and packing. Have a great Sunday evening!
