The dear Erika (LOVE her!) over at BluLabel Bungalow has challenged me to tell 10 truths about myself; so I thought it'd be cool to indulge.

So here goes (and with my own twist)!
  1. I am a type-A, over-achieving nerd. Geek, even.
  2. I am not the best listener.
  3. So..it should not surprise you that I have been blessed with the gift of gab. I LOVE to talk.
  4. I once babysat Beyonce. She was, like, 10. Long story.
  5. I am a shoe whore.
  6. I detest numbers. Exception: lots of money is involved and it's in my bank account.
  7. I am the older of two; I've one sister.
  8. Some folks watch the markets; I watch my Tweetdeck.
  9. I am obsessed with words and grammar.
  10. I make a mean Texas margarita.

    1. I am also a total geek-nerd over-achiever. I like to refer to myself as a "geek liaison" since I speak the language but can also appear normal.

    2. I have a serious love of designer labels and have been known to buy things on ebay just because they said "cavalli" even if I had to buy lots of other things just to fit them into my wardrobe.

    3. I do vocal warmups before doing karaoke because of my above mentioned over-achieving...

    Light Side

    1. I LOVE wine (in a bottle not a box).
    2. I will spend the entire weekend watching Snapped marathons (I don't take notes).
    3. I am also obsessed with words and grammar. I critique every Linked in or social networking profile pretending to perfect the content.

    Dark side

    1. I have recently dissolved multiple stagnant relationships. It is difficult when you have to leave a few behind who don't support your upward climb.
    2. I don't take compliments regarding my appearance very well. It is a mixed compliment when someone focuses on my appearance instead of focusing on my internal attributes. Often I feel that this minimizes my contribution to the business environment. Hearing "You are beautiful AND you are intelligent. I never expected both" is not a compliment. It is rather an insensitive remark that I internalize as an insult. Being noticed for my gifts, qualities and business tenacity is a greater compliment.
    3. I am more productive outside the restrictions of my office. My best ideas are developed when I am enjoying life. With my iPhone, pen and paper I have a mini office on the go!

    Thanks for letting me vent and share!

    4) I LOVE learning and growing which is why I love change so much. This is how we expand our horizons and realize potential
    5) I am the common sense, rational and logical thinking, down to earth, communicating queen..loves to talk about life

    1. I believe that folks who don't like to listen but love to talk display a distinct lack of empathy, and are a dime a dozen, besides.

    2. Lack of empathy is the binding characteristic of psychopaths, people who don't like gays, and generally *boring* folks.

    3. I love Coke in a bottle.
