little bit of this…..little bit of that…….

I’m Different!!!!!! I admit this………I freely admit it!!

I prefer months that have 31 days, I love stationery…just yesterday I spent roughly half hour extra in target just imagining what I could use all the cool back to school supplies for, I love browsing the supply cabinet at work, I can easily jam to the latest hits on 101.3 and flip to a country song and jam just has hard, I am accident prone….like an accident waiting for a place to happen.
I miss my family every single day of my life, this is always intensified around holidays, birthdays, and other family gatherings……this adversely affects my moods…..and I have no control over it!!
I love hockey and officiating hockey, I love working out, I love pursuing a healthy lifestyle but at the same time have a soft spot for french fries and as of late ice cream……I can be extremely strict with following this but also am a pro at been ‘bad’…..
I love having goals to meet, I live to make lists and cross things off of them.
I’ve always had really big dogs growing up, but since having two min pins for 7 years now I cannot imagine having big dogs again, I love these two dogs truly as if they were my children, and I’d do anything to keep them safe and take care of them.
I have a deep passion for learning, I feel it truly is the key to success, and it is so empowering.  I don’t like reading, if I could get all my books as audio books I would.  I am proud to say I have 6 letters behind my name, I am really excited to make it 9 and at one point was considering a PhD, but I think 12 might be overachiever?
I am proudly South African, I love the country and there is nothing in my life that will ever compare to pulling the flag over my head in each and every game I represented the country at 8 IIHF world championship tournaments.
I love Shrek…..I don’t know why…..I mean he is a green ogre but still, love it!!
I can’t get enough of electronics, phones, TV’s, laptops, computers, tablet computers………..Best Buy loves me!!!  I am constantly trying to learn more about them…..mainly computers…..software etc. there’s so much to learn and it’s constantly changing.
I love my job, my manager is the bomb and after years of being unhappy I am truly happy to wake up each day and go to work…….of course I love weekends too when I don’t go to work.
I really love been able to wake up next to the most amazing women every morning…..I am blessed to have her in my life and I hope she realizes how much she means to me and that I’d do anything in my power for her and I appreciate everything she’s done for me.
I prefer savory items to sweets, for the most part I don’t eat desserts, things that are green or black, and I am besotted with zebra brownies from Fleet Farm.
I get a real joy from making debits equal credits, especially after battling with a file and finally getting it to tie out……….Yes I am a geek!!!
I left the country of my birth at the age of 19 years and 4 months, I’ve been gone for 12 years this August 30th, I’d never been away from home for longer than 2 weeks on my own and I got on a plane and came to a country I knew NOTHING of and made my way in life…………courageous or stupid???  The jury’s still out……..
I hope to get my green card some time before 2020, I live in Oakdale, MN, and I’ll likely always live in this state, it is where I moved to, where I set up my life and now I can say where I am happy!!
