A little something about me

A few weeks ago someone asked me to tell them about myself. For some reason when I started talking about myself, what came out was my resume:
almost graduated from BYU with a degree in Exercise Science, worked as a nanny while living in Boston so I could help put Tyler through Harvard Law School, worked as a receptionist at a hair salon and also have my aesthetican and makeup artistry licenses.
Why is this the list I spouted off? Because it's what Tyler would have done. To Tyler, you can get a good sense of a person based on their education, where they went to school, and what jobs they've held. To me, I don't think this says squat about a person.

I was thinking about what I would say if given the chance to tell about myself again. Would I go on about how I came to make babies with my husband? Well, I grew up in Colorado and Tyler grew up in Utah. We met during Tyler's last semester at BYU. I think he was just eager to get married so he didn't leave school still single ;) We were introduced by a friend of mine from high school. He asked me out a few days later and we've talked everyday since.
No. This isn't how I'd choose to tell about myself unless I was giving a talk in church.

This is what I'd choose to tell about myself:
*I'm 25. I still feel as though I'm 16 though.
*I've been on anti-depressants for almost seven years now. I've come to terms with the fact that my brain doesn't make enough seritonin and I will most likely be on these medications for the rest of my life.
*I love to lift weights. I used to hate cardio. I'm learning to like it now because I need to lose weight. Weights help to tone but cardio is where it's at for weight loss.
*I want my prebaby body back. I love my daughter. I miss my body. I've decided I'm going to start referring to my stretch marks as sacrifice marks and my baby pooch as the baby house.
*I love to read and I read very quickly. I love a good romance book. I choose books based on their covers.
*I haven't had a best friend (or really any close friends) since I was a sophomore in college. Most of the time I'm okay but sometimes I get lonely.
*I love to sleep in. I'd sleep until 11 every day if I could.
*I LOVE Dr. Pepper. It's so yummy. It's my favorite in a can or a cup with ice and a straw. I don't like it in bottles.
*I'm very creative. I can recreate almost anything I see. I love to constantly be working on some project. I like it when people compliment me on the things I've created almost as much as I like seeing a project completed.
*I love to eat out. I love to shop. I'm a cheap shopper though. I don't think I've purchased a shirt for more than $12 in several years. It's like I'm still living with a student budget mentality.
*I dye my own hair. It makes me feel pretty to have new hair. I like feeling pretty.
*I miss the self confidence I had when I was a teenager. I would love to have that back.
*I want all the skinny people to have babies so that they aren't skinny anymore. (Yes, this goes back to wanting my prebaby body back.)
*I think my husband is pretty super. In fact, I think the sun shines out of his ass.
*I like to talk about myself.
