Me, Myself and I

How do I describe myself in one word without making it so damn hard on myself?

It's very true what I'm about to say here, that most people don't know how to describe themselves in only one word. I wish it didn't have to be just one word all the time, but if I had to choose just one word, I guess for now I'll just have to make you wait for that word, maybe just maybe I'll figure out that one word before I'm done typing this blog.

So, let's see I've already described Jason, Alycia and Ray to you, but as you all know and have gotten to know them all through my many blogs. Today, I'm not wanting to discuss them, I want to know what I really feel about myself. So, let's start from the very beginning.

The beginning, Let's see; I was born on June 10th 1989 at about 7:00am weighed in at 9lbs 8oz. Okay, so maybe I shouldn't start this that far back in time, however in school as you have read in my many blogs I was bullied, I didn't have many friends and even the ones I did have weren't even worth keeping as friends, most people like mostly my family would consider me to be caring and motherly. Always worrying what others were up to and if it was right or wrong of them to do it. Other times they considered me to be mischievous and unsatisfied.

Maybe, what I should do is take the time and start describing every one in my life right now with one word starting with My Mom.

My Mom: There really isn't much to say about my mom except that she is my mother and I love her with all my heart no matter how upset we are at each other, I will always love her, so I guess in a way that is where my motherliness stems from. Hey, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree now does it, but any how my mom one word to describe my mom, My mom is an Inspiration. She inspires me to do my best every single day to push through the touchiest moments in life, some of those moments might include relationship advice, who better to give advice then someone who is married and not only that, but the one who cares 250% all about you and your well being. So, To me my mom is an Inspiration. Secondly, we have My Dad.

My Dad: For me my dad is just like my mom I always looked up to him, was inspired by him for some things in my life, but to me there is way more to my dad then him just being my dad, my father. My dad of all the people in my life is the one person that I would hate to lose, My dad fought bladder cancer. He had his moments, but the family was always right there beside him. To me my dad is a HERO, He's my HERO. My dad a Hero. He always knew what to say and how to say things, if he didn't like something you knew first hand why! Hey, Guess, I know where truth telling came from. My dad the only one that shares a birth month with me. My dad you every one says I don't look like. My dad who I live everyday for. My dad who in good spirits helped me STOP SMOKING. Yes, I did smoke from time to time, but only when I so desperately needed to. My dad is and always will be MY HERO!! Thirdly, we have my sister.

My Sister: Let's see my sister who is 6 years older then me, and can sometimes consider me a real pain in the neck especially when we were younger. My sister who I bugged every time she had friends over, My sister who always told me to leave her alone when she didn't want me in her business, I guess you could say that as a little sister to my big sister we didn't always get along, but when we did, I always remember her helping me with homework or doing my hair when mom was to busy or simply sharing a laugh or two when dad was yelling. Sis, I guess all I can say is I'm glad to have you as a sister, because without you I probably wouldn't have gotten through high school without you looking out for me. My sister to me is thoughtful. Thoughtful because no matter what is going on in her hectic life or vice versa my life she always finds way to make room for me in her life, even if it means just having small talk with her on Facebook. We always have time for sister to sister communication. Fourthly, we have my brother-in-law.

My brother-in-law: Let's see he is the father of my niece and nephew. He is my sister's husband. He is an ex-marine. He is a great father and husband, we had some scares with him before he became an ex-marine, just before my niece was born, but everything turned out for the best. He is a coach of his daughter's softball team and his son's baseball team. He is devoted. Devoted because he puts his kids and wife ahead of himself, devoted because he dedicated his life to service in The Marine's. Devoted because he is loyal, and committed to what he does in life. My brother-in-law is a devoted father, husband, friend, and member of my family. He does what he can for everyone because of his devotion. Fifthly, we have Jason.

Jason: The love of my life. The sometimes difficult, but also funny person I love to be around. Jason it is so hard to be around you most times, but I still always look at you every day and every night and say that I'm in love. Please, know that what I say here I am sorry for what I say I do mean every word, but all in all I still love you dearly. So, as I was saying I love you and want you to know that the one word that I choose to describe you as is Goofy. No matter what is going on you always know exactly what to do to make me laugh, even if I'm always giving you a hard time about it. I know it doesn't seem like I don't want to laugh all the time and I know I really make you mad when I yell at you to STOP, but most times I really do need a laugh. I really truly love the fact that you try so hard to make me laugh even when you know I don't want to laugh. Thank you; Thank you so very much for always making me laugh. Sixthly, we have Jason's mother.

Jason's mother: Although, she will become my mother-in-law. And as the stereotype goes we are supposed to dislike our future in-laws well that may be true to most people, but to me not so much. Jason's mom let me live with them. I truly love her for everything she has done for Jason and I. She might sometimes has a funny way of showing her admiration for us, but we love her very much. And that's why the one word I choose for her is admirable. Admirable because she is always honest about the things that she has to say. She has lots of other admirable qualities that make her the person she is. The mother she is, she is admirable because she is honest, respectable and worthy of being the most admirable. She is respected by her husband, her children, her children's spouses, her two grandchildren, and her coworkers. It's family that matters to her, as well as friends and coworkers too. To this women I am grateful she is admirable. Seventhly, we have Jason's father.

Jason's father: Although, he will become my father-in-law. And as above with his mother I'm supposed to hate my in-laws, I'm actually one person that can say she doesn't hate her in-laws. My father-in-law is amazing he does everything, he has helped us most of all with basic problems Jason and I have gone through. My father-in-law although he has all things on his shoulders more then twice in a day. He still brings out the best in everything, in every situation whether bad or good he tries his damn near hardest to make it the best. He is one in a million father's that will do absolutely everything. Just like my father. he is the greatest. Unfortunately, he is not my HERO! Maybe to Jason and Jason's sister he is, but to me; Jason's father is generous. Generous because he does everything he can out there to help without looking or asking for help, either. Or without being told to do these many things he does. He does these things with generosity. Out of kindness in his heart he is generous to all he knows, because he does so many deeds of generosity. Generosity does not come far fetched with him. He does and will do everything possible and for as long as he can be generous to those who might or might not be as generous to him as he is to them. He is generous, because he does things out of the kindness of his heart to help people. Eighthly, we have Jason's sister.

Jason's Sister: She is one sister that proved a point to her family that in the most uncertain circumstances, you can prevail through anything. his sister who apparently couldn't even take care of a pair of socks LMAO, is one of the best mother's I've seen around. She has a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. Both, are so smart it blows me away every time. For now, I really want you to know how I see his sister. Jason's Sister Kristin, is amazing she goes through a lot and makes it all worth her while. Kristin is carefree. Carefree because no matter what she does, no matter what responsibility she has on her shoulder's she has a carefree attitude. That states she has everything under control. Carefree, sure she lives a life with responsibility, but no matter the stress she is under she is always calm and mellow and of course, carefree. Never have I seen her incredibly stressed or overwhelmed she has two kids, a wonderful husband, amazing parents and a caring brother and sister-in-law who will drop everything to always lend a helping hand when worse comes to worse. She always has it all figured out. She has no worries. I mean I'm pretty sure she has all the worries in the world and more, but she never shows a single one. Ninthly, we have Jason's brother-in-law.

Jason's brother-in-law: To most of Jason's family, his brother-in-law who he now calls his brother, is Mister Handyman, but that's not the one word I'm choosing to call him. After all he does tend to lend a helping hand in any situation where it requires manual labor. He is tough. He is tough because, after all he does chop trees for a living. And he fixes cars, and during spring and fall if I'm not mistaken he and his kids all ride dirt bikes. He fixes them, he even built his son one. It may not be the type of sport that we all are used to, but after all these kids and their father love it. And if they consider it a sport then it must be a sport. The sport in name is called Moto-cross. It's kids and adults on bikes with motors and powered by gas. Going super fast on a dirt track jumping over hills. And racing to the finish before the others I want to say like 10 riders get there before you do. Other tracks are made of strictly jumps, because they are used strictly for tricks, but going back to his brother, recently about a few months back he had quite the accident he was fixing his car when he caught on fire, he had to be airlifted to Bridgeport Hospital. Where he was treated in their burn unit. The best burn unit in the state as I'm told. Their he had a skin graph done and now he looks and feels like a million bucks. As the story goes, these type of things are always happening on his birthday or close to it. The year before that he had accident at work and was out for several months due to back surgery. Still, he always finds a way to push through that for his wife and kids and proves still what it takes to be a real husband and father. Tenthly, we have Jason's niece.

Jason's niece: She is 12. Even though, she acts like a teenager already, she has that sort of pre-teen spunk that is after all the best part of who she is. She is knowledgeable. Knowledgeable because she is always learning, most times it actually seems like she has more knowledge then I do, it's scary, but the good kind of scary that present the logical explanation; How smart will she get? I mean seriously, she is smart like way smart. There are seriously a lot of things that she knows about things. That even I don't know. She is one smart kid. Watch out people. She might surprise us all one day. Eleventh, we have my niece.

My niece: She is 10. She is just like her mother, if not exactly like her mother. My niece is creative. Creative because she has the artistic style and focus of a young Michael Angelo or some other big name artist. She does nothing, but use her imagination. She uses every bit of her creative ability. By drawing, coloring, scrap booking. Hope that one day she will be as talented as me. And be able to write thoroughly what is on her mind, like I can without a string of worry that someone will find anything she has to say offensive. The best quality I hope she continues to have is the ability to create, to be creative. That is after all her best quality. Twelfth, we have Jason's nephew.

Jason's nephew: Named after his father. He is 7. He is 4 years younger then his sister. He is clever. Clever because he finds the best way to be quick with words. For a 7 year old he is bright, and quick to speak his mind. He is quite the clever boy. He has clever ideas that he applies to conversation very quickly with adults and his sister. He is clever and that is one of his favorable qualities. Thirteenth, we have my nephew.

My nephew: He is 6. 4 years younger then his sister. He is bold. Bold because he persists to show his family that he is daring and spirited. He is bold because of his uncontrollable desire to show his family that he is strong, that he is adventurous. He plays little league baseball. Is compassionate about the sport and he is strong hearted with everything that has to do with baseball. He is bold. That makes him who he is.

Although, you must be thinking this can't be all her family, well it isn't. Here is the rest of me family which consist of 5 Uncles, 4 Aunts, Now like 8 or 9 cousins if not mistaken, may have over counted, but it's relatively close.

Now that I have finally pushed myself through my family, it's time to talk about friends. I've made many friends all who have left me without a single word. I now have the time to name some people who have stayed around long enough to actually get to know me. And you know what's funny I haven't known any of these people all that long. Let's start with the one person who hired me for my most current job McDonald's.

Katie: Katie is eccentric. Eccentric because she is weird, strange, bizarre, but that is what allows her and I to get along so very well. Don't forget I've been known to be a little eccentric myself, but I'm not describing me. I'm describing Katie. Katie, I do miss you at McDonald's. Even though, we both are Gemini's and as it is state we do not get along at all. It's funny now that I say most of all that you and I clicked more then anything. We definitely had our moments during work as being 2 Gemini's, but nevertheless we made it all work out for the best. And now, more then ever I wish you were still at our store, but you'll grow there and so will all of us here. It's just that no one will ever be able to come close to the eccentric and bizarre relationship you and I both had. I will miss you always. Hopefully, one day we can all workout together. I have a membership now. See you later Katie.

Nick: Nick is Charming. Charming because no matter your mood at work, when he comes in and you see him with a big smile he makes your whole day. It's not just that alone that makes him charming, even if things a rotten in his life or his day. he comes in with a smile you see him and everything changes, I love my Nick, he is a great person to work with. He is always smiling always laughing. I don't know what I would personally do without him. He is my rock at work. If you work grill with him, the whole time while getting work done you are laughing, you are smiling, your cheeks hurt so much because you are laughing and smiling so much. Nick, I love you. Don't you dare ever leave, my whole life at work revolves around you making sure that as long as we get what needs to get done, we can laugh and have a good time. My Nick. My charming friend.

Kayla: Kayla is bubbly. Bubbly because that's her personality. She is out there like Katie, but Kayla is cute. She has this harsh, but innocent bubbly personality that everyone just loves. That is why I love her. She is Bubbly she makes everything at work a bubbly fun time. At night when us 3 work it is just that it is fun. We get our work done, but we laugh, we cry, we talk and laugh some more. Kayla my girl you are the best, you of all people can't leave, either. Want to know why I love you and your cute. With your bubbly personality and you always blushing every time I tell you, that your cute. That's it though you are just that bubbly friend that makes everything fun.

Judy: Judy is funny. Funny because when the 4 of us work together, she contributes to everything just as much as we do. She laughs, she cries, she talks, and laughs some more, but the reason Judy is funny is because she out of the 4 of us, starts something she says something that gets us laughs, then Nick and Kayla and Me, of course. Then, it's a ball. Judy of all people know how to have fun. When Judy is around it's never stressful, it's just plain fun. Work at night is never boring. There is never a dull moment around when Judy is around. From falling on the floor at work, to telling stories of being drunk and dancing, and something about when they turned the lights off and back on again, Judy is on the floor. Every time, the story it gets funnier. It's just a load of fun at work with Judy around.

Now, some of my other co-workers I don't always work with or know that well to write about them like I did above, but most of the people I work with during the day aren't like all of us at night, we have different bonds that are interesting or weird or just plain fun, but all in all I love all the people I work with, there is Angie, Meghan, Jordon, Kiera, Vanessa, Poalo, Kazim, Martha, Aida, etc. And for other managers there is, Marcia, Awilda, Trupti, Sultana, Aruna, Edna, etc.

Well, here goes, I told you at the beginning of this blog that I would know the one word that best descirbes me, well truth is, Here it is the one word that best describes me is...

Erica: I am an Inspiration, Hero, Thoughtful, Goofy, Admirable, Generous, Carefree, Touch, Knowledgeable, Creative, Clever, Bold, Eccentric, Charming, Bubbly, and Funny person. For what it is worth even though I did not choose one word that describes me, but if you read closely enough you will see I actually did. Each word that I described about every one here is also a word that describes me in my own way, that is by all means why I am friends or related to these people, because of the person that is me, I attract the person in them. For insists, my mom she is in inspiration, well she has inspired me to be the person I am today, another example, Goofy. Jason is Goofy that is his personality, well for some many years ago and still today; that has always been my personality, I attracted the goofy in him. When it comes to Jason's brother, he has seen and been through a lot that is what makes him tough, but if you can recall from my many blogs I have too well, may be not like him, but it is defiantly in my own way, I am tough. Like I said, I am every one of these words, that is why I did this, to show you that even though it is easy to describe others with one word, it's not as easy to do the same about yourself, Thank you all for reading.
