My co-workers and I have been joking about making a reality show at our office because it would DEFINITELY make for great TV. Since we can't do that, I've decided blogging about my life (because I'm big headed and feel like I'm an interesting person to read about) would be the next best thing. And since I already had this blog sitting idle for the past 2 years, I'm going to try to put it to good use.
Currently I am on my 3rd Disney movie of the day. I started with "The Little Mermaid", progressed to "Aladdin" and am now watching "Tarzan". I'm thinking this will be followed by my favorite Disney movie of all time, "Beauty and the Beast". I should probably go to treatment for my addiction to all things Disney, but I choose to think that it's a healthy obsession. A Disney addiction is not going to kill me like drugs would (yet!).
Speaking of addiction, I'm self-diagnosing my self with an addictive personality. As a QMHP (Qualified Mental Health Professional) I feel quite compelled to look at my own behaviors and analyze them. I can get easily addicted to things. What else am I addicted to aside from Disney? Shopping, but that's a female thing and doesn't warrant much discussion. Collecting things. I love collections. No not like hoarder-style collections.....collectible type items. I collect coffee table books and shot glasses. That's fun right? Tattoos too. I just got #5 and have a long list I've gotta get through before I'm old and wrinkly. I've also recently become addicted to running.....
My husband (3659) and I (3658) at the recent Urban Warrior Dash in Downtown Chicago!
In the last month I've done 3 different runs: Zombierun 5k, Urban Warrior Dash-5 miles, The Biggest Loser 5k. I will also be running a couple more 5k's in the next few months....all gearing up for the "Tower of Terror 10 miler" that I will be running this October through Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Followed in February 2014 by the "Disney Princess Half Marathon".
Running has been my big stress relief and the thing I am most proud of lately. 5 years ago I never would've seen myself running anything as I was about a good 60 pounds heavier than I am now. I feel like I've joined a special club of people that I used to point at and say "You're crazy for waking up at 6am to run". Just another piece of me to add to the Katie pie.
So I feel like I wear a lot of hats. Sometimes it's way too many for my head at once, but I wouldn't give any of them up for anything. I think that's one of the most beautiful things in life, getting to be multi-faceted, not one-dimensional. I hope that I will get to share those hats with everyone via this blog.
