I was going to skip this weeks Wordfull Wednesday due to the fact that I'm moving today and all (I'm actually scheduling this to post later, nice trick!) but when I saw the potential prizes I could not resist! :)
The topic this week is THIS IS ME. I do not want to talk about myself! Because I am moving I have had to think about who I am and what I have to offer in the way of making new friends. It doesn't come naturally to me to focus on my good points, but I do have a few things that perhaps I'll have in common with others. Here's a list...
I am a woman, though I sometimes feel like just a little girl.
I am a mom, a stay-at-home mom and I'm happy with that. Really happy.
I am the wife of a great man, who is different than I imagined I would marry so it keeps life exciting.
I am a teacher. I would love to be a librarian in an elementary school.
I love to read. Love, love, love to read.
I play the piano.
I blog. I blurk.
I would like to be a writer. I am not dedicated enough to be called a writer, but maybe someday when I'm not tired all the time.
I love to scrapbook, old fashionedly, and it's not that good but it's good enough for me!
I like to make up words.
I love to keep in touch with people.
I love to get mail. (Like my heart beats faster when there's a key missing from the package holding boxes!)
I like to know about my ancestors, especially things that may have trickled down into my DNA.
I love to prepare lessons.
I love teaching Joy School and getting everything ready.
I love to be organized. I am not always that way.
I feel like I have no brain cells left, but I love to solve a problem and feel like there's hope!
I love to play games. And I really like to win.
I love numbers and letters.
I love living on streets with names. My favorite was in Michigan: Whispering Brook.
I served a mission in Michigan.
I cry, but not as much as I used to.
I am the baby of my family.
I like to joke around.
I suffer from Post Party Depression, though that goes down the more I trust that the people I'm with understand me.
I am extremely sad to move, yet also very excited.
I wear glasses. And they are usually dirty.
I am not brave or courageous but I really admire people who are. (And I married one of them).
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I am better for it. I know it's true.
I am done. See you on the flip side!

Tears are streaming down my face while I eat a bowl of your Captain Crunch cereal. Thanks for being a great friend. I'm looking forward to all the joys our friendship will bring in years to come. Oh, and thanks for breakfast.
Reading this I swear you were talking about your mom, I can see a lot of her qualities in you. And yes you could still be a writer! Shannon Hale said it took her seven years to write Austenland. Gives me a little hope anyway. :D
Maybe I'm biased since we fell into friendship so easily, but I know you will make new friends quickly. You are very likable and I'm seriously am going to miss you. (Ah Dang! There go the waterworks...)
For some strange reason this post brought tears to my eyes as well. It's just so you, now or 15 years ago.
I know you are sad about moving but I am so excited to have you closer.
I like your word Blurk.... my sisters and I also say blag when someone just brags through their posts
We too are moving - to MIi infact! Good luck with your move
You are one of the most awesome people I know. I was listening to "Wicked" today and there is a song called "For Good" -- in it says, "I have been changed for good". I believe we all have been changed for good for knowing you.
You will make so many friends in Utah -- no worries there!
Remember, you have at least one very old friend here in Utah that is excited about your move. I just wish I knew where you were moving? I'm not sure how to get in touch with you to find out?
Chicken, you're a great person. Always have been, always will be. I loved your list and I feel lucky that I know you. When you come visit, I want to show you the scrapbook layout I did about our friendship. Love Ya!
I'm sorry you have to leave RC. I know how hard it is to miss everyone but be excited for a new place. Just know that you'll make some new friends in Utah, but you won't ever meet the same kind of people who we left behind in RC. I know, that makes you feel better!
Oh and you have a lot to offer, so don't even worry about that.
Thanks for this--it was awesome! I KNOW that you will be missed. I'm missing you, and I'm not even in Ridgecrest right now. :) Best of luck with the move. I know change can be hard, but it's really good to shake things up once in a while, too.
Wow! You are so talented. I love the way you write so it's official - You are a writer. We are excited to have your family much closer :)
I don't know you, but you sound like a friend I'd love to meet.
Oh, I love you!! And I can't even imagine someone who could make friends more easily than you.
Good luck with the move! I didn't realize that everything had happened so quickly.
Do you remember when we made a tape for my family. The next letter they wrote asked us to make more tapes, but to please let you do most of the talking. See? You make friends even without meeting them in person!
