.Seven Traits Award.

So I follow other running blogs to see how other runners are doing… if they have pointers… how their training is going… their hardships (to make me feel normal) and I realized Tammy passed on the Seven Traits Award to me. This is where I share seven things about myself and then pass it on to seven other blogs that I enjoy reading. Well, here I go.

1. I grew up right outside of the Nation’s capital but I was itching to go to the south. Everyone thinks I have lost my mind. I thought DC was boring, overrated, and too expensive. I would tell people to visit there but never live there.

2. I sometimes think I have a small case of OCD. I live by my planner, I have a to-do list, I plan things way far in advance to ensure there are no issues, I tend to like to be in full control of everything. But then I am a total clutter-bug. There are stacks of nonsense all over my apartment and desk at work. It’s so strange.

3. I work in sales for a staffing agency. It requires me to be extremely outgoing and willing to talk to anyone who will listen. I have always been a talker (some would say I love the sound of my own voice) but there are times that I am super shy. Put me in a large group with strangers and I am likely to stand there and make someone else make the first move. It’s so strange.

4. I really want to participate in the ‘adopt a grandparent’ program but I have too many fears to actually do it. I am scared that I won’t have enough time to commit, the grandparent won’t like me, or that I will be a train wreck when they pass away. I know it would make a huge difference in their life, but my fears continuously hold me back from volunteering.

5. I used to have a shopping problem. I would buy buy buy. But ever since I got on my own and it is “my” money I have become stingier with what I purchase. I tend to window shop more than I purchase. Granted designer handbags are still my #1 weakness and I swear I will own a Lexus RX before I die.

6. I feel like I am content with my life and where it is headed, which is a good thing. I feel like by the age of 25 you need to have your head on straight and know who you are and where you’re going. I think it is perfectly acceptable to be ‘lost’ in college and even your first few years out of college… but by 25 it’s time to get with the program.

7. My one big hope in life it to effect at least 1 persons life in a positive way. I do not know if I have already done it or will do it, but I want to. When I do it… I do not necessarily want to know either.

So, I will pass this Seven Traits Award onto the following bloggers
