2/30: Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.

1. Clowns. 

My brother doesn't like them and when I was younger I wanted to copy everything he did 

so I think that's how it started. 

Today, it is a full fledged - I can't look at them/Do not let it talk to me/Do not let it look at me/Definitely do not let it touch me or I WILL start crying - fear. 

2. My husband or parents (or myself) getting alzheimer's. 

I can't explain how much the thought of this scares me. 

It would just hurt so bad to not be known/recognized by who you love the most. 

3. Anything creepy crawly that is FAST or can jump. 

Such as spiders and unidentifiable insects. 

I think it really became a fear after I was cleaning banana leaves off and next thing I knew I felt a BIG 

'ol banana spider [Google it! Imagine the biggest one you see being on your leg.] crawling up my leg. Or maybe after I stepped on a spider and a million [I'm not kidding, I really think there were a million] little babies went in every single direction. 

The thought of them crawling up my legs. Ew. 

Although if I am with someone who also fears these crawling creatures, 

I can woman up and be the one to catch/kill it. Grosses me out if it's crunchy though.

1/30: 20 Random Things About You

1. I am a Mormon and think you should be one too. {wink wink}

[copied this answer because it's true about me too!]

2.  I start to feel some major anxiety if I don't make a list of all my to-dos on a busy day.

3. I would LOVE to be a detective/FBI agent. 

Obsessed with Veronica Mars.

{On this note, former roommate Karina would be a millionaire if she got paid every time 

I've started a sentence with "I would LOVE to be a...". 

My professional ambitions range from whale trainer/rider at Sea World 

to Nurse to National Geographic world traveling photographer 

to School Principal to Interior Designer 

to Attorney to Baker cake decorator...I'm out of control.}

4. I hate hair that is unattached to a head. 

Hairballs make me want to vomit. 

Same goes for my husband. 

This is a problem when the bathtub gets clogged because I shed like a bear in the summertime. 

I'm sure the maintenance men love us. 

{my bestie-seester friend/former roommate, M, would gather up hairballs in the hallway and chase me with them. 

She is mean but I love her.}

5. I love cereal. Especially for dinner. 

There is just something about a nice bowl {or two}of cereal and milk. 

When R has a meeting/isn't home for dinner - it's what I have.

6. I always said I would not marry a guy who didn't speak Spanish. Then I married the biggest gringo out there. Hypocrite. 

7. I love the smell of toast, laundry detergent, and R's body wash. 

8. I enjoy washing dishes. EXCEPT for the mashed potatoes bowl. Ew. 

9. I love to climb trees. Haven't done it since I lived in Utah (pre 6th grade) but I still acknowledge and point out good climbing trees.

10. If I'm mad I could deep clean a whole house REALLY fast. If I'm mad about something I don't want to talk to you. Even if I'm not mad at you. I just don't want to talk. Likely because I will just start crying or unleash the Latina wrath that's in me.

11. I love word games, puzzles, riddles, math, etc.

12. I've always thought it would be so cool to be a pilot but I'm afraid I'd be too scared to land and would just fly in circles until I ran out of fuel.

13.  I love documenting/taking pictures of e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.

14. Three things I can't stand: to be tapped on with the back side of a person's wrist, for my belly button to be poked, disrespectful people.

15. I can be shy. I can be weird. I can be hyper. I love to dance.

16. I cry easily. If I'm in trouble, if I'm mad/frustrated, if I'm watching or thinking something too sad or too happy, if I start thinking about how much I love my husband/family, ....I'm a cry baby.  

17. I'm pretty good at making a monkey noise.

18. Every time I've set out to make a cake for something, I've had no idea what I was doing. I just have a picture or an idea of what I want the end product to look like and hope for the best. 

19.  I name the sky depending on what it/the clouds look like..."I call this a ______" .."Van Gogh sky", "Quilter's sky", "Toy Story sky", etc....told you I was weird.

20. My husband and I are best friends, confidants, and have only said I love you {romantically, obv.} to each other. I love the fact that we each got to marry our first love :).
