The Little Things About Me....{Part 1}

Some of you have known me my whole life, (Mom I am referring to you on this one) and some of you only know me from the words that I write here on this blog. Many of you lie somewhere in between that thirty-one year spectrum. I was thinking, pondering I like to call it, today about some different posts I can write as I feel like I have been short changing you guys a bit lately. (Don't worry, I don't lie awake stressing about my blog. I don't want a bunch of you to email me telling me how I should not be stressing about my blog when I am in the condition that I am in. You can email me, just don't email me about that ;-)

Anyway, I was thinking about things that are in my life that you may or may not be surprised to know about me besides what you read everyday on my blog. This was partially inspired by a list that my friend Georgia placed on our family help blog (jchelpinghands.blogspot.com).

So, here it goes. I hope I don't live to regret this. My reader count may drop drastically once you all start to get to know me better. LOL

I actually love politics. Many are surprised to hear this I know because I don't really talk about it "in public" that often. But for example, did you all realize that the 2012 Presidential Election is only 20 months away? I know, I know - there is no hope for me.

One of my favorite things to do is talk politics with my dad. He is like the Yoda of all politics. You can ask him about any politician and he will start quoting statistics and where they stand on this or that. It is really quite impressive and I just really enjoy it. (He would be so mad knowing I was talking about him like this. He is also a very humble man. Hey, I have cancer and am going through chemo. Maybe he won't get too upset with me.:-)

Anyway, I know I inherited the political bug from him. As I said, I just don't talk about it in public a lot, unless asked. Then I will gently state my opinion. I was told a long time ago that if you want to maintain friendships you need to avoid religion and politics - well the first one kind of went out the window when Jason became a pastor - occupational hazard you can call it :-) but the second I try to hang on to.

Anyone surprised by this?
