I get lost extremely easily and have no sense of direction, therefore if I’m not back from the bathroom in 15 minutes, they’ll need to come looking for me.

. . . I never pass up an opening for word play.

ETA: Except when I am with my mother-in-law or my elder daughter’s father-in-law, who I let snatch up all the low hanging fruit.

- I’m hilarious (Note: What I mean by this is that I’m always joking and making my friends laugh, but around people I don’t know well, I’m shy and I clam up. I am not saying that I think everyone finds me funny, but that those who actually do bother getting to know me past my initial awkwardness are usually those with a similar sense of humour, and they find me hilarious. 😃 )

- I love bright colours and sparkly things and animal prints and thus I am happily tacky

- I have a thing for the number 47

- I love maple-related desserts

- I have problems with pain, depression and anxiety which I try to hide most of the time

- I withdraw and don’t talk to anyone during tougher times (so they don’t take it personally if I’m out of contact for a while, they know it’s just how I deal)

Writing this post made me remember how awesome my friends are.

. . . I don’t mince words. And I don’t suffer fools lightly. If it needs saying, I’ll say it. If it doesn’t need saying, I won’t listen to it.
