Describe 5 weaknesses you have.
1. I give in fairly easily when someone is insistent with me. When they do not let up I either get tired or nervous that their opinion of me may change, so I give in.
2. I have a hard time saying no to most people.
3. I am still, even at the age of 25, completely boy crazy. It has morphed into a whole new level with age, as now it is the whole "I'm going to end up alone with 30 cats" level that apparently mid 20 something ladies still face even today.
4. I am too trusting. Instead of people earning my trust as I get to know them, I have a tendency to give 100% right up front. This has backfired many times.
5. For one lighthearted one, I cannot resist talking with random babies. They are absolutely adorable and I find myself always smiling and talking with them, no matter where I am.

Day Twelve
Describe a typical day in your life.
Hmm, this is an interesting one. However, I fear my life is not as interesting as the potential this question holds.
One a typical day, I wake up around 7 or 8 AM. My morning usually consists of prepping for the day ahead. Though my parents might disagree, I do try to do some type of housework in the morning. Then I get ready for work.
Work is fun. I arrive at the beginning of my children's nap time, so I start my day putting babies to sleep. Once everyone is asleep my co-teacher and I are able to clean up from lunch and get a little quiet time. A few of our babies always wake up early, and when this happens we play the "play as quietly as we can" game so that we don't wake the others up. When everyone is up we have play time! Play time is followed by the afternoon snack and more cleaning. After the room is clean, we take the babies for a walk. We get to interact with the other children from other classes and it gives our children a chance to spend some time outside. After our walk we come back a play until it is time for the final cleaning up of the classroom and leaving time.
After work I head home. Once home, I help Dad in preparing dinner. My evening consists of dinner, planning for work, and usually reading or listening to music to decompress. And then sleep of course.

Day Eleven
Describe 10 pet peeves you have.
1. Leggings being worn as pants! Leggings are NOT pants! Stop it!
2. Inconsiderate drivers are pretty annoying. You are not the only person on the road!
3. Its annoying that I can never find pants in the right length. Petite pants are too short and the average is too long. Can anyone else relate?
4. I wish Pandora didn't force me to listen to so many commercials. I just want to listen to the music!
5. My cat and her ability to locate my pile of clean clothes, no matter where they are, and use them as a bed.
6. When a restaurant neglects their soda and it runs out of syrup. I don't know many people that are a fan of flat coke.
7. That I am nowhere near as creative as I wish I could be or even try to be. My projects never come out quite right.
8. I find it annoyingly fascinating just how much personal information people choose to share on Facebook about their life. I could care less most of the time, yet I cannot seem to stop reading about it all.
9. Politics. Nothing specific really, I am just not a fan of hearing anything politically related most of the time. I find it so tiresome.
10. When I am talking with someone and all of a sudden they don't respond for an extended period of time. Where did you go? We were just conversing!

Day Ten
Describe your most embarrassing moment.
I have been asked this question so many times over the years and I have yet to have a story worthy of the question. There are times in my life that I wish I could do over, but I have a hard time pinpointing one truly embarrassing moment. But, in the spirit of doing this blog, I do have a story from Dress Barn this past summer.
As many of my friends know, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is one of my guilty pleasure songs. I have no problem, no matter where I am, letting loose and singing along with the song. It frequently plays on the music loop at Dress Barn and I endeavor to be professional while at work. This means that if I am not currently speaking with a customer I am singing under my breath. One particular night, I took this one step further. Laura and I were closing that evening and there were no customers in the store. The song came on and being alone I felt no fear in busting out at top volume, dance moves included. It was a very liberating experience, let me tell you! My performance was amazing and would have continued to be so if I were not startled by some poor woman who happened upon my impromptu concert. She looked embarrassed for me, which I believe made the whole situation even more awkward.
It may not be the most embarrassing thing to happen to a person, but its one I still remember like it was yesterday. (And how ironic is it that my Pandora station just happened to play "Call Me Maybe" as I am wrapping this up? Its fate!)
