I Am

Whoohoo, I have been tagged by Sticky Bun to play the ‘I Am’ game.

I did try to write it in verse but realised quickly that ‘I am…not a poet!’, so here are my random thoughts.

I am in the process of doing up our new house…so much to do
I am my 8 year old nephews biggest fan, even though he’s going off kisses!
I am a bride to be….1st February next year
I am the best friend of a polish woman
I am an ex womens footballer who is mad about the English game
I am a thinker, sometimes far too much
I am too soft on my beloved cat, Millie, she sleeps under the covers next to me
I am lucky to be able to work from home
I am desperately missing wine and coffee
I am a Simon Cowell fan (I know I should be seeking therapy for this!)
I am scared of letting people down
I am mad about holidays - going to Russia in July and New Zealand for our honeymoon
I am ready to be a mum, just don’t know when it will be

I am a fan of scuba diving but petrified of rollercoasters
I am self aware and very self critical
I am a book reader, currently reading ‘Lovely Bones’ by Alice Sebold
I am a passionate believer of good manners and respect
I am the apple of my Mum and Dad’s eye and a fabulous sister ;-) (they read my blog!)
I am lacking in self confidence yet the world doesn’t know
I am becoming more aware of the environment and try to recycle and save energy as much as possible
I am old romantic at heart (it figures being a Barry fan) and love to be romanced
I am a perfectionist who sometimes loses interest

I am a control freak…just you dare try to get the remote control from me!

Ok, so I now need to tag 5 other bloggers so they can join the ‘I Am’ game - can’t wait to read them…but if you’ve been tagged already, ignore me.

This is great! I especially love " I am a perfectionist who sometimes loses interest"--That's awesome! That is such a perfect description of me too. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Also--I love the ticker--I will so be adding it, as soon as I've cut out the goods completely. :-)

I, too, related to "I am a perfectionist who sometimes loses interest"

That, and "I am a thinker, sometimes far too much"

Thanks for the tag. I hope I can come up with something worthy :)

Hi there
Sorry i've been a bit absent - have had lots of appts.

I know it's not relevant to this post but DON'T WORRY about your 5 follies. Your first IVF is a testing ground to check your doses AND 5 is still enough to get you to the finish line. I never had many follicles but always enough to get 2 top grade embryos put back. You're still in with a BIG chance! Our specialist always says - you only need one, and it's true!

On this post - i also work from home (joy), hide my huge confidence issues behind a big smile and totally identify with the perfectionist thing!

You're doing FINE xx

Congrats on caffeine free!! I'm hanging on to my green tea for a little longer.

The "I am" poem is great. I'm glad you didn't write in verse, because there is no way I'll be able to!

I enjoy posts like this one.. :) :) I have much in common with you..:) I'm a scuba diver too and one thing I've become more aware of is the environment as well. AND I too am a perfectionist (look at my profession) who sometimes loses interest. LOL!!!
