one word, please

What is my word?  

Jen D. asked us to ponder one word that describes who we are.  Just ONE!  How could I ever pick one measly word to explain who I believe that I am?


Which lead to:

long-winded
verbose
chatterbox

Yes.  All are true.  But they describe a piece of me, not the whole me.  Part of me considers words that I fear others think of me:

arrogant
fleeting
smelly

But this is MY word.  Who do I think that I am?  Who is my true self, not the one I try to appear to be?

Other words that describe pieces of who I believe that I am are:

ambivalent
delayed
inquiring
excited
grateful
hopeful
innovative
eager
optimistic
eclectic

When it all boils down to it, I am someone who has interest and excitement for too many things.  I can do a lot of things that I want to, but I've never been one to excel at anything.  It's my ultimate blessing and curse.  I can't concentrate on one project for much longer than two weeks... and I've got projects up the yin yang.  I'd love to finish ONE big project, finish writing ONE book, ONE sewing project, ONE invention, ONE chandelier, ONE painting, ONE resurgence to violin playing, ONE carpentry project, ONE marathon, ONE et cetera.  

As soon as I do finish one project--or more often right before I do--I am absorbed in another.


Some call it ADD, but not me.  I prefer to call it:

interested

Alas, long-winded as I might have been, I stand by my one word:

interested

Take it to the bank, friends!

**I haven't forgotten about my totally awesome creation for someone who cares.  Do / did you care?  I will pick TONIGHT!  (And hopefully finish said creation within 2 weeks.)**

one year older and wiser, too! 
kids, this is what Mommy looked like on the eve of her 32nd birthday!

THREE THINGS:
1. 32 glorious years!
2. free cookie Mondays
3. friends who bring casseroles... just because!
