Life on Rural Street

I am an introvert. I don't deny it. I will be the first to admit I strangely enjoy time alone. Maybe more than I should at times. I like to go shopping by myself, I like to sit at home by myself. I just like it. I usually eat lunch alone at my desk or I go home to eat just because that is my preference. However, I break these "likes" for family. I love shopping and hanging out with my mom and my mother-in-law. It's tons of fun. I also love sharing meals with friends. I just have to balance it with my alone time. Yep, pretty much classic introvert. It's where we draw our energy from, people!

The main person I love to spend time with (other than myself!) is my husband. I will opt to drag him along to the grocery store with me just so I can spend time with him. Not to sound totally cliché, but he truly is my best friend. I just like being around him and spending time with him. He's out of town right now though. And I'm such a sap. I'm enjoying my time alone, yes. But I really miss him! I have to say, my cat, Zaza, might miss him more than I do though!

I'm attempting to teach myself to crochet. So far, it is not going as well as I'd hoped it would. I caught on to the basics of knitting pretty quickly, but for some reaon I'm having more trouble with this crochet stuff. It's so frustrating!! My mom has said she'll help me out - gotta love moms! I think I might go buy a new crosstitch pattern tonight though. I know how to do that. I was thinking the other day that it's kind of amusing to me that I like to sew and crosstitch and quilt and all of that. But I have no desire to do things like scrapbooking or stamping. Weird how these things happen. On the subject of scrapbooking - I'm lucky if my pictures make it into albums. Heck - with the age of digital cameras, I'm lucky if the pictures even get printed! John says this will change when we have our kid. We'll see!
