 Posted: 08/18/06 - 08:53 Post subject: Strength, Weakness, Addiction, Fastward
Name one of each for you.
Strength: I feel like I'm a good, decent teacher. All of my new apprehensive students left my classroom yesterday giving me a hug. That's a big deal after already growing attached to the teachers they had. I love what I do. I think they figured it out.
Weakness: Caffeine all the way!! I cannot break this habit.
Addiction: Flickr. I cannot keep myself off that website and from browsing if you paid me. I can look at pictures for hours. I have a few friends who are wonderful photographers. *cough*HighHeat*cough*
Fastforward: DAVE MATTHEWS CONCERT BABY!!!! There you go! It's coming this week. OAR is opening up for him. I was really hoping that Umphree's McGee would open up for him, but OAR will be great too. It's going to be one jammin time for sure!! I'm stoked!

It's not an addiction, you just lack self-control.

Posted: 08/18/06 - 09:19 Post subject:
Strength:Broad technical knowledge in mechanics, woodworking, electrical, welding, fabrication and home repair. Dedication to friends.
Weakness:Lack of confidence in myself. An odd need to care for others to the exclusion of my own needs.
Addiction:Whatever my ADD latches onto at any given time. Right now, woodworking, reenacting and my Harley.
Fastforward: A couple of biker get togethers, a couple of POW/MIA rides, and a big reenactment in NY with my son.

Strength: Loyal, hard working and satisfied in my life. I'd like to think I'm calm under pressure. I have also been told I have an amazing ability to coordinate several disjointed activities into a functioning whole.
Weakness: Caffeine, chocolate chip cookies, cheesecakes and PIZZA !!!
Addiction: This place. I like being with people who share the same interests and... allow me to enter the world of Gen Xers and Y. Although the music selections escape me.
Fastforward: Duathlon on Aug 26th in Lakehurst NJ. One week later: Help move daughter in Boston.

Addiction: Diet soda... one or two a day
Fastforward: Celebrate Life party this weekend for a friend who is now two years cancer-free... and turning 40.

Weakness -- strong willed, very meticulous
Addition -- Like PH said it's a lack of self control. Nothing really for me, but I do enjoy my ice creams and scotch (not at the same time, however).
Fastforward -- My first triathlon on September 2. Totally pumped for it...and a bit freaked!

Well, I do suck at keeping secrets. We're keeping it off the radar though as far as school goes because of the upcoming custody battle. It could possibly negatively affect the outcome, and that would be tragic. If he already had custody, and were I far enough into the year that it wouldn't impact my financial aid/grants, we'd do it right now.
Life is good, though, for certain.

Strength: I've been told I'm a good listener and offer good, practical advice.
Weakness: I've got a horrible voice. The fact I don't have great speaking skills doesn't help.
Addiction: Dunno. Not coming up with anything right away.
Fastforward: LC had a job offer within a week of her first out of town interview (which she declined). She's having one for a different place today; if they offer it to her as quick as the first place, we're taking it. She could be there October 1 - me depends on how long it takes to sell the house and stuff.

Weakness - I procrastinate. And I am very ADD.
Addiction - That's rather private. I have several, anyway.
Fatforward - Tomorrow night we are celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary (belatedly, as it was Monday) by going out to dinner at an Italian steakhouse in downtown St. Augustine.
