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 :).
