Fluff & Nonsense | As Yet Unshared

As always, I'm inspired by Susannah Conway! I enjoy these "emotional mining" kind of posts. It reminds me of where I was and how far I've come in all the small details which are regularly overlooked. I've managed to cram an awful lot in! You'd think the information would be finite, but indeed, there is always more to share :)

1. I am not a particularly good gardener though I do love my bright and overflowing container plants through spring and summer.
2. I appreciate yellow for some things but it is not my favourite colour.
3. Perhaps it's because I struggle with my yellow chakra (self-worth, judgment)?
4. Yes, I am learning a ton of metaphysical and spiritual concepts.
5. The first albums I ever owned were The Eagles "Hotel California"; Billy Joel "Stranger"; Fleetwood Mac "Rumours", and Meatloaf "Bat Out of Hell" all purchased at Sam the Record Man on Yonge Street on the same day in 1977.
6. I enjoy folding laundry; I dislike cleaning up the dinner dishes.
7. I believe secrets are the most distructive force in the universe.
8. Though I owned a baseball training facility, I have no clue how to throw a ball.
9. I am early for everything. Late drives me bonkers.
10. Though I will not go in any water where I cannot see the bottom, I love being close to the ocean - the sound of the waves, the breeze, the heavy salty air.
11. I do not celebrate or encourage "Hallmark" holidays.
12. I graduated high school as valedictorian and had my choice of universities to attend.
13. I did not gratuate from university. That fact used to bother me terribly. It does not bother me any more.
14. My first name is Jennifer. I am not a Jennifer.
15. I am an abstainer, not a modifier. I can't just have a bite of cake, I have to have a whole slice (especially carrot cake!); I can't just watch one episode, I have to watch them all; I can't drink a glass of wine "only on weekends", the restriction makes me antsy, so I have no restriction and then manage to drink only on weekend.
16. I have recently learned that I am violently allergic to eggs. This makes me very sad as my most favourite meal on a lazy weekend morning is poached eggs on toast.
17. I used to have panic attacks when driving on the highway. The worst one was while driving through Pennsylvania with my daughter, Claire, to Arlington, VA to visit my sister 11 years ago.
18. I won a grade 6 spelling contest by spelling Pennsylvania properly.
19. I am addicted to oracle cards.
20. There is only one person from my past I'd like to find: Stacy - the boy best-friend of David, with the girl name; while in contrast I was the girl best-friend of David with the boy name :)
21. I am constantly washing my hands - and countertops. I hate sticky!
22. I do not like going to the movies as the theatre itself freaks out my germaphobic tendencies. I blame an Oprah show from years ago that covered the topic!
23. I love seafood, especially lobster. Women in my family tend to become highly intollerant of seafood, anaphylaxic, so I eat as much as I can when I have the opportunity! Until I can't.
24. My greatest wish is to be a size 14 again.
25. I can manage to "play" extrovert for only short periods at a time - and then it takes me double that time to recover.

 Wow! I had forgotten a lot of that stuff! What about YOU? What do people not know about you?
