I used to be painfully shy when I was younger. Especially around adults. I remember when I was in 7th grade I was a counsel's assistant for an elective. This consisted of mostly sitting around and "running" errands for the counselor if she needed anything. Everyday while I was sitting there some man (I have no clue who he was) would walk in and say "hello, how are you?" My response was alwasy "fine". I wanted so badly to get up the nerve to say "Fine, how are you?" But I never could. I would sit there are pump myself up for it and say today is going to be the day and then as soon as he walked in I would shy up and say "fine".
I don't know why I had a flashback about that. I just think it is really funny because now I could talk to ANYBODY!

Funny! Is that why in all your pictures from childhood your shoulders are always scrunched forward like you're trying to hide?
And to answer your question on my blog, it does take me longer to wake up, but since I have to put in contacts, that opens my eyes up and then the rush to get into the office on time helps me get awake by the time I get there.
jesse was like that, too! he remembers hiding behing his mom's legs. same as you, he's definitely not that way now!
That is so not the Caroline I know today!! Funny how we change as we get older! Love and miss you!!!!!
I have a very hard time imagining you holding your tongue for one second. hahahahah Just ask the old crew at Lighting Plus. haha
Thanks for sharing that. I hope Anna overcomes her shyness the way you did! :)
