My list continued:

• I hate conflict.  (But then, who does like it?)
• I’m very ticklish and get physically sick if someone tries to tickle me…it’s not one bit funny to me.  It’s even very upsetting to me if someone pretends to tickle me.
• I love, love, love electronics…my laptop, my iPod, my Palm Pilot, my digital camera, my cell phone.  I usually know the day my cell phone can be upgraded…and get to the store the day of or as close to it as I can.
• I feel things deeply.  Sometimes this is good, sometimes not…I am kind of an all or nothing kind of person.  I am a mercy person and have to work hard to not get caught in someone else’s problems but rather to be a help to them.
• I love the kind of friends that know when to cry with me and when to tell me the hard things I need to hear.  Both things are appropriate at different times and I strive to be that kind of friend myself.
• When I got married, hubby was in a rock band and we used to travel around the northwest.  It is funny to me to see people’s faces when I tell them that because our lives are nothing like that now.
• I love going to Mariner’s baseball games.  I really, really, really love Stitch n Pitch (which originated with the Mariners, by the way!)  Now how can you go wrong with knitting and baseball at one time?
• I like to stay up late at night, I hate mornings (although I love getting up when it’s still dark out and seeing daylight come. I’m just no good by about 9 am!)
• I think my kids are just about the best.  They each are so unique and I love watching them grow and learn and become who they are meant to be.  I feel the same way about my sons-in-law and my daughter-in-law-to-be (not official yet, but will be someday soon)
• I have vivid dreams and usually remember most of them…much to the dismay of my husband.
• I’m very shy but when I am comfortable with you, I have a hard time not talking too much.
• Parties are very, very difficult for me and I feel really unnatural when talking to people I know when in that setting.
• I don’t like extreme temperatures.
• I have a hard time to see myself in a positive light so I am finding this list very difficult because I am trying to be more positive about myself.
• When my friends correct me, I may have a hard time hearing what they are saying to me, but it almost always will sink in and then I need to do something about it.
• I am a rule follower.
• I am a terrible liar and you can tell by looking at my face if I try to lie.
• On the other hand, I hate to hurt anyone’s feelings so this can be very difficult for me. 
• I dislike “fake” in relationships.
• I ice skated in Central Park (New York City!) and it was one of my biggest accomplishments because I tried to not skate but a friend made me.  I’m glad she did.
