Hello Dolls!
I feel like I am still recovering from my weekend, and could easily sleep for about three days. I guess that's what happens when you jam pack a whole bunch of activities in to two days? Obviously it was worth it, but it's days like today that I wish I was in a cube or an office so I could take a little siesta under my desk ;)
Anywhoo.. it's time to continue my little 30 Things Project that I started last week. If you missed it, you can find it here.
Question 2- List 3 legitimate fears and explain how they became fears.
one. I am pretty afraid of ducks and peacocks. This stems from a very young age because my grandparents used to take me and my brother to feed the ducks at the pond and if I remember correctly I was chased quite a few times. The peacock fear comes from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. They let their peacocks roam around the zoo and I was chased by one of those too. Needless to say, I don't have any fond memories of flying animals and I don't like to get too close to them.
two. I am very afraid that I will not find the right person, and that I will not get married. This was already discussed here, and I'm well aware that it's a pretty irrational fear to have at age 23, but I just can't help it. I see so many people my age that were/are already married and well on their way to kids, houses, and all that other stuff and I am nowhere close. Deep down, I know that it's okay and that the time will come.. but until it does I think I will always be afraid that it won't.
three. I am always afraid that I left my curling iron or straightener on or that I left my garage door open. I think a lot of people do this but I somehow never remember if I did these things or not and the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that I forgot. Then I freak out and think that I'm going to start a fire or someone is going to break in to my house. Sometime I go back and check, and other time I just try to forget about it because 95% of the time I actually did remember to do them and I 'm just being forgetful. It's a vicious cycle I tell you.
Question 3- Describe your relationship with your parents.
I have a pretty great relationship with my parents. I'm lucky to say that they have and probably always will support every decision that I make and are there for me whether it works out or not. Believe me when I tell you that I was not always the easiest child, and I gave them more grey hair than I care to admit, but I try to be the best child I can for them because I always want them to be proud of me. I love both of my parents and have learned that they are both great for different things, and that they create a great balance to one another.
My Mom.. I call her at least once a day because she will always listen to me ramble and talk about my day, and our personalities are very similar. We have many of the same likes and dislikes and enjoy doing many of the same things. I love her so much that I even put the picture above where I look gross because she looks so cute ;)
My Dad.. he is the one I call when I have a question or a problem. There are very few things that I have asked my Dad that he doesn't have an answer for and I am so grateful for that. I will ask for his advice for many years to come. My Dad tells me the hard truth, even when I don't want to hear it. He always has my best interest at heart!

Have a great day!

One, I love peacocks. So much - but they are scary sometimes.
Second, girl, I am 29 and I'm not married. I worry about this so much. Daily, hourly, by the minute. I hope that I find someone - but if I don't, then I will just adopt a baby and be happy. : )
I always re-check to see if I turned off my straighter and my electric blanket!! If I don't go home for lunch I sometimes sneak out to check it out!! It's really pathetic of me!
I love this 30 Things, mind if I do it too? I swear I never know what to post anymore!!
Stop it, you kill me with this bird fear. Hilarious. I'm laughing with you... and a little bit at you. ;)
I'm doing this too! Come find me :) I love your number 3 I totally do that too. Your number 2 is a valid worry I feel like but also remember you are 23 and with the way things are today a lot of those friends that got married young with probably separate (unfortunately) it has been what I have seen. Take your time and find the right forever person!
I completely agree about the marriage thing. I'm 24, but seriously its constantly on my mind! I love my parents more than words too! I talk to my mom at least once a day and people always think that its crazy but I couldn't imagine it any other way :) You know I'm doing it, but I think my posts will be done on Saturdays and Sundays!
I am petrified on pigeons! And squirrels.
Number 2 and 3 are fears of mine too...but I am usually more concerned about burning my apartment down than settling down. We are young. We have time!
Girl, you and my sister are both afraid of birds and leaving the straightener/coffee pot on haha :)
although Casey is afraid of fish too ... weirdy.
Ok, that's it!! I'm going to start playing along!! I cracked up at your peacock fear. Hysterical.
I am deathly afraid of birds, any kind of birds. I have no idea why because I have never had bad experiences with them. Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy, I'm so glad there is someone who shares my fear of birds!
Love this post, Sami.
I too have the fear about the curling iron. And the heater. And basically anything that can cause a fire. I am always convinced that I left something on.
I also have to agree with you on the fear of never getting married. Which is even sillier since I'm 20 and I shouldn't be getting married soon anyhow. But I just have all this doubt that it would happen. I don't really believe I will find anyone who will love me. Silly I know. but true.
I think I feel for my parents exactly what you feel for yours (I mean, I'm sure most do), but my mom always listens to me ramble on about my day and we enjoy many of the same things! My dad also has an answer for everything. e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. There is always something special about a father/daughter bond.
Peacocks, and all birds (except penguin chicks), are terrifying and awful creatures. Peacocks have no purpose in life! Why do they have to exist?!?
The forgetful thing is totally a girl thing. I always think I left my front door open and it has never happened! I have left my straightener on though. So that is a legitimate fear ;-)
I'm with you on the fear of being alone. I am 24 and haven't found someone yet, it's hard to read about all these other people who are sometimes younger than you getting married. I'm sure our time will come soon enough!!
Lovely. I felt the same way about finding my one true bald love :) and as cliche as it sounds when you stop looking he'll find you! Swear
I think it's so cool that you are so close to your parents. :) I love these 30 questions!! It's a great way to know people.
this is a cute series! loved your answers!
I once made my husband drive back in the middle of night to my apartment (before we were married) to make sure I unplugged!
What a sweet post. I spent all of my twenties going back and forth between wanting to be wild & free and fearing that I'd never find the right person. It will happen. Just try to think of it like this: your twenties are for exploring! Being independent, learning to rely on yourself, dating the wrong people, etc. If you were to be married now, you may wonder "what if" down the road. You know?
I do the same thing re: my curling iron, etc. It's awful! I used to be so bad with the coffee pot that I had to go buy one that turns off automatically.
I actually have a fear of swarms of birds, which stems from my fear of cicadas (which swarm). I pretty much don't like large groups of small-ish creatures. So, I am 29 not married, no kids, no house. And every time I go to dinner or on a vacation with my boyfriend someone asks me if he proposed. Umm...don't you think I would post that on Facebook? Also, someone actually asked me: "You're a lawyer, why don't you have a house?" I felt like that was a rude question. My lack of an adult life used to give me massive panic attacks...but then I realized I could still eat ice cream for dinner or go spend tons of cash at Sephora like the irresponsible non-adult that I am. My life does have some perks that the married, child, house life does not.
