#DefineMe

Who are you? How would you define yourself? The first word that comes to mind is mother, I am a mother first. I am blessed to have my top hashtag be #mommy. Of course I have other traits, responsibilities and interest that make me, me. 

I love TV and my DVR, I get excited about the fall and holidays, and really enjoy a good bottle of Chardonnay. I have been known to talk too much, desired to be the center of attention, and been the first one on a dance floor. I am a woman. I am an Amazon Prime member. I find online shopping much more efficient than hitting the stores, but once I am actually in a store I feel happy and excited. I am competitive about unimportant things. I crave to be fashionable and admired for my look. I believe in Jesus and rely on him every day. I want to more prayerful. I am hard on myself and others. I can be selfish and mean. I can also be kind and giving. I like consistency, I am not big on adventure and spontaneity. I have been with the same employer for almost 15 years. I appreciate my job and career.
 I am a wife and proud to carry the name Mrs. Bollon. I am a child of God. I am a product of growing up in an alcoholic home. I can be funny. I am rough in the coordination department. I didn’t believe I could be athletic until I actually started working out. I want to write fulltime and yet I don’t make a lot of time for it. I am an only child. I am a Yankee, born and raised in the Northeast. I am getting better about speaking my truth.  I love to take quizzes (think personality, relationships) and play games like “what if…” with my friends.  I get impatient about the silliest things and need to slow down. I want praise from peers and loved ones. I was born on a Sunday. I will travel to Ireland someday. I love wearing boots, they make me feel sexy. When I try to be sexy, there is nothing sexy about it. I think I give good advice. I love my family.  I am thirty-something and remember watching the show “Thirty-something” when I was twelve. I love pictures and videos to recall memories made. I sleep well at night.

Who am I? It can’t be summed up into one word or paragraph. I am a lot of things and I am changing all the time, hopefully for the better. So I will take my  #mommy and add #workinprogress.
