Who am I?

I have to deliver my first toastmasters speech this week, tomorrow actually. I haven't written it yet. It is the "icebreaker" speech, which means I get 5-7 minutes to talk about myself. Only 5-7 minutes? Given my mind is filled with many ideas and slants for this speech, I imagine I could go on all day. Then why haven't I written it yet? I am a classic procrastinator. I once tried to fight this, only to give up when I realized that when I complete things early, I change my ideas last minute and redo all the work anyway. It does make for some stressful 11th hour moments, but I do my best work that way. Unfortunately, now that my life is busier, this little personality trait has me rushing to completion far too often. I am pooped! Pack the lunches? Nah, I will do it in the morning. Get my gym clothes ready? Nah, I will do it in the morning. Go to the gym now, at 9:30? Nah, I will go this afternoon...until afternoon turns into evening, and evening turns into a spare tire around my waist.....but I have gotten off topic.

Back to me.

Who am I? What parts of myself and my life do I want to share with this new group? My past? Growing up in Newfoundland? Work? Boring.... My many many interests? The fact that I fill my head with hundreds of things that peak my interest but I know or practice nothing to the point of completion because I get bored? Maybe. My beautiful little family? Perhaps. I could talk all day about Soph but that won't help my fellow toastmasters to learn much about me other than the fact that my life is run by a 32 inch blonde-haired blue-eyed dictator.

I have no idea what I will talk about....and my speech is 26 hrs away. I should probably jot some notes down this morning. Nah, I will wait until tonight. Lots of time! :)
