Team Brimhall: 30 Days of Blogging

Day 22 - What makes you different from everyone else?

This is kind of a weird question. Everyone is different. Which makes us all the same. It's like that bumper sticker I saw once that said "You are Unique. Just like everybody else."

I don't know what makes me different. That depends completely on who you compare me to. If you compare me other women in Provo then I'm not very different at all - Mormon, married, blogger. If you compare me to someone in a poor village in Africa then I'm very different - Middle class American who married outside of her race, has a job, has a car, lives in a house, and blogs. I don't know how to answer this question, but my friend Heidi tagged me in her blog and told me to write 7 secrets about me. Except then they won't be secrets so how about 7 interesting facts about me instead. Maybe my 7 facts will make me different than everyone else.

1. For Christmas last year my parents gave us this huge first aid kit complete with gloves, a gown, a CPR mask and a glow stick (you never know when you'll need one?) I keep it in my car at all times because I feel like one day I will come across a huge car accident and need to help.

2. If I come across blood, pee, vomit, or feces, it's gross, but I can deal with it. But if you spit in front of me or if I can hear you spit I will gag and barf.

3. I hate feet. HATE. I hate them so much that I don't even like touching my own feet and every night before bed I put lotion on my feet and instead of rubbing it in with my hands I just rub my feet together. That's how much I hate feet.

4. I never eat breakfast. Ever. Yet somehow breakfast food is my favorite. I love eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice, pancakes, waffles, all the good breakfast foods, I just never eat them for breakfast.

5. I used to be able to fall asleep at the drop of the hat and sleep a solid 8+ hours undisturbed. I could sleep through an earthquake (literally, it happened when we went to Disneyland) and once I slept through the fire alarm outside my bedroom door going off. And now, with each passing day that I'm married to Rick, I sleep as well as a mother with a newborn baby. It takes me any where from 30 minutes to 2 hours to fall asleep now, and when Rick works a grave shift at first I loved it cause I had the whole bed to myself but now I can't sleep if he's not there and I usually don't fall asleep until he either gets home at 8 am or sometime after the sun comes up.

6. I have been driving on expired license plates for 2 days. Whoops.

7. When we're bored we do photoshoots and we take some sweet pictures.
