Things I have learned about me
A little while ago, I decided to keep a list of things I learned about myself. That may seem kind of weird, but it has been a really fun list to make. Instead of just going through my daily routine, I found myself thinking about if I liked what I was doing or not. Of course a list like this comes with a disclaimer, I have the right to change...and probably will. But for now, this is JENESSA!
- I like to stand under trees and shake the snow off.
- My favorite place to read my scriptures is on the kitchen floor, late at night.
- I worry a lot about inconveniencing people
- I like to wear bright socks in the winter. People can’t see them, but they sure make me happy.
- I don’t like it when I get into the car Sunday morning and I hear a song I like, but know I should switch it.
- I love hugs!
- I’m not a fan or mushrooms or guacamole.
- I like to sing out loud in the car, especially when I know the words
- I don’t like to disappoint people.
- I think everyone is great.
- I like it when people call just to say hi
- Often when I run, I get the feeling I need to floss
- In the winter, I like to run on the treadmill to the last 30 minutes of the movie Rudy
- I am conservative on the amount of butter I put on my toast
- I love BYU mint brownies
- I have a hard time asking for help
- When out of state, I love to tell people I am from Utah
- I feel like a million bucks when I wear my red high heel shoes
- I like to burn candles
- I love the mornings I naturally wake up early, before my alarm goes off
- If I get one hand wet, I have to get the other hand wet too
- I don’t like to touch my gum, even to throw it away.
- I like food to match situations (IE wearing an orange shirt and eating an orange or eating black and white food on Martin Luther King Day)
- I like to whistle
- I don’t like to take medication.
- I have never learned how to wink or do a cartwheel
- I like to fall asleep with wet hair, while listening to the dishwasher.
- I don’t respond well to firm commands. I like to be asked to do things.
- Often songs match my situation. For example, when I was giving blood the song “bleeding love” was playing.
- I love to travel….that’s an understatement.
- I don’t like it when I can tell something is wrong, but it is out of my realm of influence to fix.
- I hate being late, but I hate being unprepared more.
- I love rainy and overcast days
- I don’t like spiders, but I’m not brave enough to kill them.
- Playing viola allows me to express myself, better than I can explain myself.
- I love the 4th of July!
- I have a secret wish to be “the favorite aunt”
- I believe saying sorry fixes everything
- I like to drive with the sunroof down
- I don’t like to feel uncomfortable or make others feel uncomfortable.
- I don’t like to be told I can’t do something. I want to try it and see if I can/can’t myself
- My “love language” is quality time.
- I love coconut

What a fun idea! I would like to say I knew all those things about you but I didn't there were a lot that I didn't know. However, you wanting to be a favorite aunt is not a secret. ;) I love you!
ReplyDeleteyou are just the best! and you complete me.
ReplyDeleteRemember the other day I caught you wearing bright socks and it was currently summer time? Maybe you just like to secretively wear bright socks all year round.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised when you say "sorry fixes everything." I thought you think that talk is cheap. I thought for you actions speak much louder than words.
