Discovery of an introvert



I do a lot of blog reading in my spare time..... over the years I have bookmarked my favorites and many times, I surf from blog to blog. When I find one I enjoy reading, or there is some shared interests, I return to them.

I have come across a recent entry of a blog I follow, which of course, sent me to another blog and link. This was about being an introvert vs an extrovert. I have come to the conclusion, that I am most definately an introvert, as is also my "partner in crime". It is so obvious and explains a lot to me. I have heard of this term, but never, really would consider labeling this as myself. I came across a link of another blog- that had an interesting list of myths related to being an introvert...

I thought I would share, and there was also a book I may have to read called "The Introvert Advantage in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney....... Looks like I am going to try and reserve this from the library ; )

It is so funny when you read some type of writing on personality traits and you can totally agree or identify with them what is true in yourself. I have to say, as an introvert, I do need to recharge, be in my home, have my down time, or I feel not rested. I am not one of these people that can go from one activity to the next, or fill my weekends with this, that and the other. If I do not get that time- then something is missing, I feel not rested, rushed and get cranky- it is wild. That is why Sundays to me- are sacred!!! I do not have many friends, and the ones I do have I can count on one hand.

I enjoy when I learn something that I have know about myself for a long time, just never knew what it was called or aware of it's label. Self discovery, it is great!!

Ooopssss- I sooooo need a vacation....

Not a great picture- but O was so excited!!!!
In front of our garage before the movie
shoes- they are mostly all flip flops...... I love my flip flops, they are headed for the closet now- but this was before on the side of our bed CHAOS! Below is Sunday morning coffee- Rob's way!

Forgot the random pics...... I really need to get away...... I need a vacation.... not a staycation we have had too many of those in the last 5 yrs- a real actual vacation to visit somewhere relaxing, nice serene, with mountains, or an ocean something with nature........ Not sure if I am going to have enough time to get to San Diego in August : ( Little bummed about that..... there are some other closer choices that we are considering, or, screw it, we go to SD for 2 days....... well here are some random pics- that I forgot to get on- Will have more pics later........

Sunday morning coffee, shoes and kids......

well- we had such a productive weekend ...... I am down to unpacking, and am at the point of hanging pictures on the walls...... I still have some things to go through, organize and unpack, but it is coming to an end soon... My goal was to be done by July- not too far off- I will be done by the end of this month.... Pictures to come when it is all done

Crazy dust storm tonight- the biggest they said in perhaps10 years..... glad I wasn't driving in it! The grill has a 2 inch layer of dust on it- and so we will have to hose everything down...... had to go into work today..... it wasn't bad, but I didn't get home until after 6 pm I am so happy to home the rest of the week working..... here are some random pics
