3 Things you Should Know about Me
I love to dream. Dream big, wide, atrociously crazy dreams. And I don't let it stop there. I go out and try to achieve those dreams. No matter what they are.
Right now I am still trying to write that break out best seller novel. And then there is that whole not having a day job thing (that would be easy to drop with the best selling novel right?). And the house. I don't need this one to be bigger, I need the time and money to help the Husband finish our monstrous basement. And then there are the interior decorations. And the fact that I just love to travel all over the place. Having a shot at 15 minutes of fame (see point 2 below). Or creating that children's museum. And a building a local program to promote writing for high schoolers. Not to forget the whole idea that I want to own my own business... oh the list is endless. And it should be! Dreams aren't for sissies. They need to be big, large, and nasty (in a good way). The list of dreams should grow. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth getting up in the morning.
Secondly, I love attention. On stage, in a crowd, or on a conference call, whenever. Attention Whore Am I. When I am having a good day that is. And when I am feeling confident, fun, and sorta quirky. Which is about 80% of my days. And ties nicely into the Dreaming I'm doing and wanting to do. I'm a Leo. What can I say? I get my kicks out of having all eyes on me. Even though I don't always volunteer, I'm always WILLING to get my ass out there and grab some attention.
The other 20% of the time I just need down time... which, in short, means alone time. No kids, no husband, no co-workers, no vendors calling me to ask about any upcoming projects. Nope. I need time to do what I love to do--sleep, read, write, surf the web, window shop--whatever I want. Does it make sense that one part of my brain loves the spotlight, the other loves solitude? Of course! Not any one person can be "on camera" 24 hours a day and like it. Some self imposed under-radar time is a must. Which means, this weekend, I'm ready for it. A few hours minimum. I've had a drought of me-time as of late, and my head's feeling it.
