Getting to know me .... hmmmm

Ok so the theme for this weeks Blog Gems @Jen's The King and Eye is getting to know each other a little better and seen as I am still a newbie at this I have not written a post about me. So here goes.....

1. I have been sarcastic since around the age of 10. I am not sure exactly when it happened but I can not seem to help myself. I have a bit of a goofy quirky sense of humor, a bit of a comedy nerd really. Favorite nights out lately (when they happen) would be to a good stand up comedy gig in Dublin. I love to laugh! But who doesn't?

2. I am my own worst enemy as I analyse eeeeeeverything. I over think things until they have lost all meaning.

3. I come from a single parent family. I had a great childhood Just me, my Brother and my Mam. I have a big extended family but I have always wanted a big family (2 kids at 24. lol I am half way there!)

4. I worked as a Bar person for 6 years, through school and college. I loved it, always something happening and new people to meet, great craic. I also met my Husband  in that job and now both of us have left the bar trade 8 years ago. Although It still only seems like yesterday.

5. I am so quiet when I first meet someone and I eventually come out of my shell. I am the worst person ever for public speaking, it is probably one of my worst fears! I think it comes from the early years of school and the teacher makes you stand up and write your 12 times tables on the blackboard and you can never remember the last few. Probably because you were more interested in writing in your "secret diary" at that age ha.

6. I have had a slight obsession with all things Spanish since first year in secondary school and it is probably the only interest I have ever kept going. Everything else just seems to fall by the wayside. Over the years I have tried my hand at Tennis, basketball, salsa dancing, singing and non of these ever lasted. Although I am still very fond of all of them, there always seems to be a pin in them to come back to later.

7. I have an ambition to travel the world and I intend to keep this one. We have had to postpone it as it has been a very eventful 8 years. I had Diddles, we saved for our house, we got married, we bought our house, I had madman and then Diddles was diagnosed with Autism so here we are. Maybe when I hit the big 40. Which gives me about 15 years lol.


Fingers crossed all going well :)
