truth thursdays!

It's time again... where I dish out the truth about me! Keep in mind I have become lazy as the week has progressed but tomorrow I hope to shock you with my brilliance!!! Okay so maybe not, but I'm trying to remain hopeful!

1. I love watching traffic pass by when I sit out on my balcony

2. I love listening and watching trains pass by

3. I cut my hair off last night to create the "new me" and I'm already loving the new me!

4. Sometimes I wish co-workers didn't have to sit so close to one another, some I find annoying.

5. I love watching baseball and basketball in their stadiums, but I hate watching any sports on TV (excluding the Olympics)

6. Finding me is pages away from completion of the first draft!!!

7. Truth Thursdays I find is very stress-relieving!

So share with me your truths! I wish I had better one's but this happened on a whim when I realized I hadn't prepared a good post for today!

When you get a minute be sure to check out the contests on my sidebar!!! I have one up there for 3 $10 Amazon Giftcards! Get your name in now! Also drop by and give Summer some love for just finishing her first draft of her current WIP!!!!

I love your Truth Thursday - I may have to borrow that sometime! I got my hair cut last Saturday, and just yesterday was the first time someone mentioned it. Oh well - I guess it wasn't that drastic of a difference so I shouldn't be surprised. I'm glad you're happy with your haircut!

Unknown said...

It reminds me that I have to get a new hair cut (but I keep saying it's because a change is as good as a holiday... which I desperately need). Thanks for sharing.

Kimberly Franklin said...

Love your truths! I think you already read mine today. Lol. I hope you have a great Thursday!!

Kittie Howard said...

Truth Thursday, what a super idea! My truth, right now I'm feeling springtime lazy. And not a bit guilty about it, yea!

TerryLynnJohnson said...

How interesting! I get a little stressed watching traffic actually! Way to go with your hair loving!

Crystal Cook said...

I really love your truth Thursdays, it's fun to find out more about you!

I'm so proud of you for being almost finished!!!!

My truth is. . . I skipped my morning run so I could write instead. GAHH!! shame on me :)

Unknown said...

Susan - borrow it anytime!!!

Cheree - You're so right! Change is like a holiday! Being refreshed counts!

Kim - I did read yours! All over that! Happy Thursday!!

Kittie - You shouldn't I want to be lazy too! Looking at your profile picture makes me want nice weather so I can lay by the pool, swim and enjoy myself!

TerryLynn - I don't like to be in it, just watching it! In it I'm stressed!

Crystal - Sometimes we have to sacrifice things, way to go on the writing... you'll get your morning run tomorrow!!

Stina said...

Love the truths. Congrats on #6!

I cut my bangs after growing them out for years. No one even noticed.

Tamika: said...

I would love to toss my day job out the window! That's as truthful as I can be today.

Krista said...

Truth: I LOVE that I now have another answer to the question, "And what do you do?"
Instead of, "I'm at home with the kids," I can say, "I'm a writer."
It's especially nice, since the kids are now in school all day and that other answer falls pretty flat.

Unknown said...

I can't wait to hear you've finished your rough draft!

When you say you cut your hair, you mean that YOU really cut it? Like, YOURSELF? If that's the case then I think you're a combination of brave, crazy and awesome! There's nothing quite like a "new do" to make you feel on top of the world. :) Happy TGIF Eve!

Summer Frey said...

Aw, thanks for the love! I think you should show us pictures of the new 'do!

Can't wait for your freakishly excited "I finished my MS" post. And hey, what a great birthday present!

Unknown said...

Stina - Thanks for the love! Oh I hate when that happens, so far not many have noticed, but the few who do mean a lot!

Tamika - I'm with ya girl!

Krista - Congrats! I'm sure thats a great feeling!

Gina - NO NO NO! No cutting of the hair myself... I am not near that bold and with the hair being cut so short that would have been difficult!

Summer - Well deserved :) I can't wait either! I think I'm going to be one crazy writer this evening!!

Watch out! I'll try and post pictures tomorrow... if not it will be my post for tomorrow!!

Amy Saia said...

Ooh, a nice haircut sounds like a good introduction to spring. Yay for your first draft almost being done! I'm the same with sports–can't stand to watch unless I'm there, and then I love it.

Talli Roland said...

Great truths! And congrats on almost finishing your first draft -that's brilliant!

My truth, hm. I would like to crush the little bird that kept me awake all last night. But of course I won't.

Phew. I feel better.

Carolyn V. said...

Jen...when do we get to see the picture of your new hair cut? I'd love to see it! =) Truth about me. I'm meeting with an agent next month, and am a little frightened about the whole ordeal. =)

Unknown said...

Amy - I'm excited! Posting pictures soon!!

Talli - Thank you I'm really excited!

Carolyn - Tonight or at the latest tomorrow!!! OMG that is super exciting!!!! I think it's okay to be a bit scared, but hopefully your pretty excited as well!!

Shannon O'Donnell said...

Oh, I LOVE watching sports on TV. Watching at the stadium is definitely better, but ANYTHING is better than nothing. I'll even follow a baseball game online. :-)

Arlee Bird said...

I have a very main street passing behind my house and I enjoy watching the traffic sometimes. Especially in the evenings when it gets backed up the traffic signal and I can see people in their cars. I guess I'm just glad I'm home and not in the traffic.

Truth ~ I once spent over $100 at a county fair trying to win my then girlfriend a $10 prize. If she was a real girlfriend, she would have made me stop.

Leigh Hutchens Burch said...

Truth Thursday is fun! You migh as well go ahead and participate in "TMI Thursdays" with me and get it all out there. :)

JournoMich said...

Hmmm...Truth Thursday...I am sitting at work watching to news clips tape, but also checking out your blog! That's the truth.

Thanks for the contest updates.

Love your Truth Thursdays. Very cool. :)

Faith Pray said...

This is a fun concept, Jen. Thanks for giving us more of you. One truth of mine - I often peek ahead while reading a novel. No self-control whatsoever!

Shelley Sly said...

Great list of truths! I can relate to the second one -- I love trains, either riding on them or just listening/watching them. :)

Unknown said...

I've never been on a train before Shelley but I think it would be cool to do so!

Steph said...

The new 'do is a do and I love, love, love listening to trains. My old apartment was a few blocks from a railroad. It was the most soothing, scary sound!

Dana Carey said...

Your haircut looks great. Good way to usher in the spring season. And I love the Thursday Truths. Very fun idea. Good luck with the first draft completion!
