Who Am I?

I've been thinking about that age old questions....Who Am I?

To answer, I am an extrovert; a Type A personality. I am organized, clean, and opinionated. I don't like to admit my faults, and I am usually right if ever in an argument. I don't like to argue, though, so don't test it.

I love to read, learn something new daily, and create something new often.

I am a fiercely loyal friend and will defend those I love and care about.

I am a good mother.

I try to do my part in leaving a small footprint on the earth. I line-dry clothes, grow a garden, compost food scraps, buy fresh local products (eggs, honey, fruits and veggies), make food from scratch, bottle foods, recycle paper, use tote bags at the grocery, etc. I have an interest in homesteading some day, and hope to make it a reality. I love a slower-paced way of life.

I also love technology, and that is where my interests contradict one another. I am trying to find a balance.

I don't like my natural hair color, but I'm not willing to dye my hair. I don't want to deal with the expense, the upkeep and maintenance, and I want to keep it as healthy as possible. If I dyed it, I would go blonde, and that is not the easiest on the hair.

I don't like to go to the doctor, and I don't like taking medicine.

I am not easily offended, but I'm learning that I am sensitive about certain topics/faults/issues. 

I have a lot of freckles, so during the summer instead of getting a tan, I get darker -and more -freckles. This summer, the dermatologist told me I have rosacea (redness in the face). I was crushed. But, then his assistant said that nearly all Caucasians have it. I hated this as a teenager, well, let's be honest, I hate it as an adult, too. Mainly because when I exercise, I look like I'm going to faint from exertion. My face gets red, and those that don't know me will generally ask if I am okay.

If I'm journaling, writing a letter, etc, and I don't know how to spell a word, I have to look it up before I write it down. I frequent dictionary.com often. 

I'm a religious person, with strong faith, a desire to do what is right, and I love the Lord.
