Six things you don’t know about me. (maybe)

I've been tagged by Claire (check out her blog - it's great!) so here is my attempt at revealing something...

1. Some of you may know this, most in fact, but I’ll start with it just the same. I was born in the back of my parents’ station wagon. After my sister drove the car, with my parents in the back, to the area hospital, someone else backed it in to the hospital garage and they delivered me right there. I’m hoping for better timing from the little boy or girl growing inside me.

2. I don’t like coconut. It’s not a flavor thing because I love to down a pina colada, but I can’t deal with the texture of coconut. It feels like eating thin paper to me.

3. I have a serious fear of getting fat. This probably sounds extremely superficial but it is something I worry about. I would never obsess to the point of doing anything harmful to lose weight but I do feel guilty when I eat a cookie or a big ole meal out (well, sometimes. ; ) ) Perhaps this goes with Claire’s recent blog about fat and skinny.

4. I don’t handle criticism well. It’s not that I don’t like people to criticize me. In fact, I appreciate it. I want to improve my skills, appearance, etc. and do care what others think. However, I over-analyze criticism and that’s why I don’t feel like I handle it well. I need to learn to take it, learn from it and move on.

5. I find it invigorating to get behind the wheel of my car on a warm day, roll down the windows and turn up the radio with a great cruising song playing. Perhaps this is a return to the simpler days of my teenage years or maybe just the warm feeling of summer that makes me come alive.

6. I started this post last Thursday and it is Monday morning and I'm just now completing it. That summarizes my habit of starting projects that don't quite get finished. Heck, I even have intentions of starting projects that never even get that far. (ie - I bought a self-instruction knitting kit around Thanksgiving and it is still in the package.)

Now, I'm supposed to tag someone else. Krista, I think you are the only one left who I know that has a blog so you're it. I also tag Amy and Stefanie to start blogs - this would be an easy first entry.
