The "I" Survey

Martha just did the "I" survey and had this to say:
 
Remember the "I" survey?

I remember doing this one a long, long time ago -- It's an old one but still fun. 

I have to go back to work in six days. I won't be around J-Land on a regular basis much longer! Come on, humor me and do it too, please, pretty please, for me!

So I'm going to humor her and do it, too.  Here goes:

I Live: in Indiana, USA

I Work: no longer outside the home

I Talk: more than I think I do

I Wish: I had the energy I had when I was 18

I Enjoy: my kids

I Look: like my dad

I Find: that I waste too much time on this computer!

I Smell: coffee (decaf)

I Listen: when you talk

I Hide: things from myself unintentionally

I Pray: daily

I Walk: more than I used to

I Write: during every spare moment I can find

I See: my computer screen (??)

I Sing: a lot!

I Laugh: as often as I can

I Can: recite the alphabet backwards very quickly (and sing it, too!)

I Watch: my kids growing up too fast

I Yearn: to be published!

I Daydream: too often

I Fall: in love with my husband every day

I Want: health and happiness for my children

I Cry: more often than I used to

I Burn: easily in the sun

I Read: voraciously

I Love: my family and friends

I Rode: a camel at the zoo

I Sometimes: get too picky about little things

I Hurt: when my family hurts

I Fear: heights

I Hope: that we can retire in 20 years

I Break: bread (??)

I Eat: mostly what I want

I Bathe: daily (?!)

I Drink: tea

I Stop: at red lights and stop signs  

I Save: too much stuff

I Hug: my husband and kids every day

I Meditate: not as often as I should

I Play: not as often as I should

I Miss: my Dad 

I Hold: my computer mouse (??)

I Forgive: probably way too easily

I Drive: a Honda

I Learned: more from my mother than from anyone

I Dream: of retiring with my hubby in 20 years!

I Have: "nothing to fear but fear itself!" (??)

I Don't: have to do anything I don't want to do (so there!)

I Made: coffee a few mintues ago (??)

I Believe: in Almighty God

I Wait: pretty patiently, most of the time

I Need: more money (so we can retire in 20 years!)

I Owe: more money than I'd like to

I Hate: people who say hurtful things to children

I Feel: like I am still 18 inside my head

I Know: that you can accomplish anything with time and the right tools

I Wonder: if anyone is still reading this list

I Applaud: people who keep on keepin' on when all the world seems to be against them

I Love: being able to write things like this in my journal!

Thanks for playing too! I still feel 18 in my head, sometimes I'm shocked when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror -- who is that old lady that keeps following me around?! -- When did THAT happen?!!

Did you mention that you want to retire in 20 years?!  Is that what you said?  Just want to be clear on that!
