SUNDAY SCRIBBLINGS - I KNEW INSTANTLY...

I KNEW INSTANTLY I was going to struggle with this prompt. I'm not a 'know instantly' kind of girl. I'm a ponderer, dweller, list maker, what ifer (that can't be a word). I'm sure you understand what I mean. Spontaneity is not my friend and I hate surprises. Anything spontaneous has to be arranged at least a week in advance and any surprise must be approved by me beforehand. I am exaggerating of course but only slightly.

I blame my mother. She is even guiltier of this than I am. Getting both of us to be spontaneous simultaneously is quite the accomplishment. Many have tried, few have succeeded.

I used to be embarrassed by this trait but now I accept it as being a part of who I am. Hubby has made it his personal mission to scare the shit...I mean surprise me on a regular basis. I'm pleased to say I'm getting more laid back each year. However, if he ever throws me a surprise party...I WILL kill him.

    Haha I usually like to be prepared as well and I can be impulsive as long if I choose to, not somebody else. Have a great day KB

    Aaa haa haaa! Wow. I'm only just getting good at list-making because I'm used to unpredictability.
    ` Maybe we can trade skills?

    BTW, I didn't know I'd have a shower scene on Saturday until... Saturday.
    ` I bet that would freak you out!

    I'd kill mine too if he ever would dare to do that.

    I am very impulsive and it's not always good. It can get me into trouble.

    lol
