I (affirmatively shopped from Parenthesis)

1. I am: weird and these days very sensible and sentimental.  Also one hell of a dedicated mom.
2. I think: you should never wish bad things upon other people, because it will come back and bite you in the arse X3.  And yes, I am talking from personal experience.
3. I know: that I am truly, unconditionally and unequivocally happy for the first time in my life.  I love my life!!
4. I have: a fantastic family and an amazingly caring boss, contrary to what I thought.  That promotion was well worth the wait.
5. I want: to be a size 32 one day soon.  One size to go!
6. I dislike: gossip, tremendously. 
7. I fear: not being a good mom and my kids blaming me if they perceive themselves as failures.
8. I feel: on top of the world these days.  That in itself should scare you.
9. I hear: Lenny Kravits, trying to drown out the noise of the open plan office.
10. I smell: Nothing, my nose is clogged.  What’s the number for rotor rooter again?
11. I crave: a cigarette.  No great surprise there.
12. I cry: almost never these days.
13. I usually: watch dvd’s on my pc when my work is done or when I’m fed-up.  I rewatch movies.
14. I search: for interesting websites all the time.
15. I wonder: when the shit is going to hit the fan.  I’m way too happy and too many great things have been happening to me lately.  (TOUCH WOOD)
16. I regret: not getting my degree, it would have set the bar higher for my self-esteem and a goal for my kids (maybe).
17. I love: my family, books, kids, photo’s and music.
18. I care: about the opinion of family, I want them to be proud of me and love me, warts and all.  And yes, I am a people pleaser, but these days only to my family, the rest can quite honestly take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.
19. I always: freak out when I don’t have internet access.
20. I worry: about everything.  Mostly my kids, where they’re going what will become of them and these days: why the fuck are they flunking math??
21. I am not: desperate anymore.
22. I remember: special things and events.  I am not big on detail and have shitty sort term memory.
23. I believe: in love.  Love for nature, each other and respect. …
24. I sing: along to my fav songs in the car all the time and I force the kids to learn the words.  It worked, both girls are in the choir.
25. I don’t always: reply to sms’s.  If you piss me off, I will not talk to you.
26. I argue: for what I believe in, sometimes to my own detriment.
27. I write: on my blog, it makes things clearer in my head and has, more than once, saved me from throwing that embarrassing tantrum outside the blog-universe.
28. I win: most battles these days.  Even with myself )
29. I lose: my lighter – always and my cell phone as soon as I get home.  I don’t know how, but I do.  Then hubby has to phone it so we can find it.
30. I wish: that there were more ways that I could share my happiness with everyone around me.  Spread it, so to speak.
31. I listen: selectively.  I don’t have a great memory, so while you’re talking I’m making summaries in my head of the important points you are trying to make.
32. I can usually be found: doing something I shouldn’t …
33. I am scared: of loosing what I have now.  You never realise how precious happiness is until you’ve tasted it.
34. I need: more sleep.  Seriously, I am close to dead tired, but again, it is a happy tired.
35. I forget: names.  Really, I suck with names.
36. I am happy: yes, I am.
37. I tag: anyone that drops by to read this )  But also DGS, DM and Bosparra
