52 Lists: Week 11

In honor of turning 29 + 4 next week, this week's list is all about me.  This is me right now...I feel like as an addendum to this list, I should mention I know this is a terrible photo.  It's the only one I have that's been taken in the last few days. : )

• Managed to actually grow out my fingernails long enough to have a manicure twice but I am still biting them
• Have very very dark hair for the very first time in my life and am still shocked when I see it in photos or the mirror
• Find it difficult to have to talk a lot of people.  I love being with friends and chatting, but after a while I need some time for me, and not talk.
• Don’t want a pet.  Too much work!
• Actively looking for work outside of Maryland in creative agencies and companies
• Am not nearly as religious that I once was and I’m ok with it.
• Totally obsessed with Twitter and Facebook and can’t go the day without checking multiple times – I’m also ok with this.
• Cycles through loves – cities, countries, jobs, books, etc. Currently, it’s all NYC all the time – though I certainly wouldn’t turn down a trip to London and Austin any time soon.
• LOVE to eat!  Any and all things.  I will literally travel to new places based on restaurants alone. 
• Am socially inept even when I try not to be.
• Totally overwhelmed by Netflix – there are way too many things I want to watch that I just wind up looking through the list without making any decisions
• Have a hard time “sticking the landing.”
• Am snobbish when it comes to food, travel, and grammar.
• Needs just a little bit of chocolate or something sweet after a meal.  I don’t need a HUGE piece of cake, but a small bite of chocolate will make me eternally grateful.
• Hate the taste of Beer, Wine and all alcohol that isn’t tequila in my margarita.
• Use the words “skeptical”, “cool beans”,“thanks a bunch” and “I’m sorry” way, way, way too often.
• Am unabashedly happy when I buy a new book and even happier when I get to sit down and read it. 
• Clueless about makeup and actually doing something with my hair or putting together an outfit – it has everything to do with not sticking the landing.
• HATE pedicures.
• Will randomly decide to teach myself (with the aid of Pinterest) all sorts of crafty endeavors – Crochet, photography, watercolor, project life, etc. 
• Can sing showtunes quite loudly and quite badly at my desk forgetting when others are around (Dance moves included)
• Am angered by rudeness and people being mean
• Am enthralled by creativity and new ideas
• Love dresses in the summer but avoid them with every ounce of my being in the 9 months that aren’t summer due to always freezing my butt off
• Am unable to argue effectively
• Am fairly judgey
• Can’t resist biscuits, anything that comes with a soft-boiled/soft-fried egg, tacos, and banana anything
• Can make a mean scrambled egg, and Green Chile Corn Soup
• Will only drink Iced Tea, Hot Tea, Milk and Water
• Can define complex processes for cooking and baking, listing ingredients, chefs and restaurants, but am often stymied by simple math problems
• Will choose tickets to a live show or a plane ticket to somewhere new over just about anything
• Have a current business plan for the future - winning the lottery
• Have a complex future plan in my head that relies completely on luck and me being not me.
