Nicchi's Life List:
100?!? wow. Completing this list.
Continue to lose weight, slowly and painlessly.
Communicate with Mike, in real time, what's hurting me.
Thank my mom, and tell her what a good job she did.
Be as good of an aunt to my unborn nephew as my sister was to my oldest son.
Be more of a leader at church, with a firm, spirit-led goal.
Be a better mom, be less critical and more encouraging.
Work to give my kids a happier home than I grew up in.
Get up promptly in the morning, even if that's just getting up the first time I wake up.
Land a job that will aid me in getting my license, and eventually a job that I enjoy. I don't imagine that this will be the same job.
Listen to my kids when they babble. I need to know what's going on in their lives, and it's a shame to miss it when they tell me.
Go off half-cocked once in a while, not procrastinating until the stars align.
Leave tasks imperfect, but done.
Find a good reason to put my wedding ring back on, or at least figure out why I took it off.
Find reasons to be proud of who I am. If there aren't reasons, cause some.
Be the person my friends think I am.
Pay bills more promptly.
Coming back later to finish this list.

A few days ago when I posted my bio info, I was completely straightforward, but I sounded like a total loser.  Today, when I think about the issues I need to wrangle, I am having a little easier time seeing them as growth opportunities rather than problems.  As a matter of fact, I see that they are only problems because I failed to deal with them when they might have been more manageable, and less painful to chew.

 

While my #1 challenge is my marriage, I realize that many of the issues lie squarely at my feet.  (I am not at all absolving Mike of responsibility, but realize that I can only change *me*.)  I need to deal with feelings of insecurity, fear, and betrayal.  No matter how “real” the issues paining me are, they are very real to me, so it is necessary for me to deal with them.  

 

While just in day three, and not completely sticking with the “plan”, I see a real and significant benefit from what I have learned in my short time here, and look forward to continued benefit… and that’s saying a lot, because I’m not the “self-help” type…

I joined TOOLS because:
 I need to make changes in me. Actually, I need to make a lot of changes, but my head is the place to start.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 Challenging, but not overly stressful. Busy, but on my time. Pays generously, but not enough to spoil me. Rewarding, but not enough to make me think I'm better than I am. I'd love to actually find that job.
My favorite wild animal is:
 I'm not much on wild animals. Safari-type animals are too everyday. Visually striking and/or cute animals seem to shallow to like for the sake of liking. So, basically, I don't know.
Why (describe as much as possible):
 see above.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Mutt dogs.
Why:
 My favorite pets have been mutts. They are physically stronger, without the quirks and weaknesses of inbreeding. Not to mention that they aren't trendy. I hate trendy.
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 Warm, gooey, and chocolatey.
Why:
 That's my weakness, and so hard to find.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 I hate this question... My dad, who died when I was 13, and was distant before that, so that I might come to know who he really was. My Morrow grandparents. It's so cliche, but they were so kind and wise, and I never doubted that they loved me. Now, I'm totally stuck. Not Mike, because I'd be self conscious. Not Uncle George, though it's tempting to confront him about the pedophilia, it's better left alone. He's gone, and I need to let it stay that way. My sister is the coolest person ever, so she can come. I'd pick her for my best friend. She's fun and silly and it breaks my heart that her life has taken this turn, with this timing. I don't think there's another person. I guess the empty chair is for Jesus, though it would totally freak me out to meet Jesus, let alone, serve him dinner.
Why:
 see above.
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 a sandy island, with empty beaches. I'd want stores and restaurants, but not crowds.
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 warm, with lots of cheese and pepperoni, and a yeasty crust.
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 coke. I suck. Or maybe a light (Not heavy) beer or something fruity and not strong-tasting.
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 coffee, or maybe warm tea, with plenty of cream and sugar either way.
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 self confidence at the absolutely appropriate level (Not being blindsided b/c I didn't see something I should have, but not cheating myself out of happiness I should have enjoyed, either.), enough money to have no debt or fear, making the right decision at least 3/4 of the time... it seems like I always bomb that one.
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 the Bryan Adams mix Shelli made, Jimmy Buffett, a praise music mix
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 ease problems- financial, mental, spiritual.
A sunset I remember:
 Hanging out Cara's car window trying to get a good pic in downtown Daytona Beach with the delay of a digital camera... her saying tree... house... store... NOW! and me trying to get the shot. (I do have a few beautiful photos, btw...)
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 I have no idea.
Why:
 I don't internalize stuff like that.
