Ten Things You Should Know About Me-Part 2

Still in no particular order:

6) I’m a type-A, vaguely neurotic, perfectionist and hands down my own worst critic. Having a child has changed mellowed this personality trait significantly, but perhaps not surprisingly, I am the hardest on myself these days ABOUT my parenting.

7) I love to eat, and I specifically love to eat out. Nothing strikes me as more fun than trying a new restaurant, especially in a new cuisine. If I had to name a favorite cuisine, however, I would go with Japanese food.

8) This falls into the category of random, but I’m one of those people who needs a lot of sleep to be functional. Like optimally 9-10 hours per night. Do I get that? Not often. Does it make me grouchy sometimes? Absolutely. But I figure I’ll have plenty of time to sleep when I’m old. And also dead.

9) I read voraciously. Grad school made reading for pleasure deeply unpleasant for a long time. There’s really nothing more unpleasant than being force-fed books. In fact, it wasn’t until about a year after I graduated that I finally was able to pick up a book and read for fun.

10) I dream of having the means to travel extensively throughout Sweet Girl’s childhood and into our retirement years. I’ve already had the opportunity to do so thanks to growing up where I did. I’d love to give my daughter the same opportunities, including time spent living overseas. We’ll see how that works out.
