P is for ______________
PRACTICAL – I’m as practical as can be. I have a hard time doing things and spending my money on things that aren’t needed.
PONYTAIL – because I’m so practical, my hair is always in a pony tail. I let it grow long, cut it and donate it every 2 years. It’s practical because I don’t have to spend time drying and styling or spend money getting my hair cut.
PHOTOGRAPHY – something I’ve been getting into over the past couple years. I find it’s a great creative outlet and a great way to have a visual journal of my life. I love looking back over the photos of my gardens in previous years to see how much they have evolved over time.
PICKLE LOVER – yep I have 5 gallons of fermented dill pickles in my fridge.
PERFECTIONIST – this is definitely a good and bad trait. Good because it makes me strive for the best, bad because is can lead to frustration. I try to keep it in check and make sure I’m not spending too much time and frustrating myself by trying to make things too perfect.
PHONE AVERTED – I HATE talking on the phone. The invention of e-mail has been a wonderful thing for people like me. I love being able to take time to think through what I’m going to say and to do it in my own time. I feel like e-mail saves me lots of time.

O is for ____________
OPTIMIST – Even though I can be a bit cynical about certain things, I’m an optimist about most other things.
ORGANIC – But not really in the traditional sense of the word. I’m kind of beyond organic because I believe organic has been watered down by corporate involvement.
OLD FASHIONED – I definitely am old fashioned in certain ways: cooking, canning, preservation, gardening, etc.
OBSERVANT – being an introvert I like to sit back and watch. As a result I’m very observant of other people and things. I’m an observant gardener, trying to take notice of the small changes that occur each year.

N is for _____________
NATURE NERD – I’m becoming just like my parents – a nature nerd. I have bird, tree, and plant identification books and a pair of binoculars. I know the names of many plants, including scientific names. All of those things I learned in science classes throughout my life are coming in handy.
NONPARTISAN – my political views span all parties fairly equally so I don’t really ascribe to any. I’m registered as an independent. I try to read and listen to news from all sides and make my decisions according to my personal judgement. I don’t allow specific parameters set forth by the various political parties to define who I am politically, I refuse to vote by a label or party lines.
NUMBERS – I’m a numbers person – the family accountant. I love adding, subtracting and multiplying in my head, balancing my checkbook.
NATURAL – I love all things natural. If I can find a natural product to replace something plastic in my home I do. I use natural sea sponges, loofah, wood, etc.
NOISELESS – I love peace and quiet, noise in general kind of bothers me. I don’t listen to music in the car or in the house.
NUTRITIOUS – I definitely focus on nourishing foods ascribing to the Weston A Price suggestions.
NICKNAME – I don’t go by my real name – which is Susan. I usually go by Susy or for those who know me well Suze, or by a few other names.

M is for ____________
MUSHROOM LOVER – I love all things mushroom and can make a meal of them. I’ll eat them on anything and often do. This year I’m attempting to grow mushrooms in the garden.
MOWING – Even though I don’t have much lawn left here at Chiot’s Run I love to mow.
MAP PERSON – GPS is nice and we have one to help with our travels to events – but I love a good map. You’ll always find me with an atlas in my lap while we’re traveling the country.
MAXIMIZE – Since I’ve got so much going on, I’m pretty good at maximizing my time. I’ve learned to be efficient in the things that I do so I don’t waste time. That way I can get a whole lot more done throughout the week.
MARRIED – This is definitely something that defines me. Mr Chiots and I have been married for 13 years now. Being married is a wonderful thing when you find the right person.

L is for ____________
LOYAL – I’m a loyal friend and customer. If I like your product I will tell everyone about it and most likely purchase it for the rest of my life. I’ll defend my friends fiercely and help them in any way that I can.
LIST MAKER – I make lists for everything, there’s something quite satisfying about crossing things off of your to-do list. Sometimes I even add things that weren’t on there, simply so I can cross it off. I always make lists of things I need when I head to the health food store or the farmer’s market – but I promptly lose the list and can never find them when I need them.
LONE RANGER – as an introvert, I need lots of time alone in order to recharge, especially after a social situation or being out and about. That’s probably why I love the solitude of gardening!
LAID BACK – I’m pretty laid back about a lot of things in my life. I find it makes life more enjoyable when you don’t worry about every little detail.
LOW MAINTENANCE – especially for a woman. I don’t wear make up, jewelry, perfume, or own a pair of high heels or panty hose. I don’t even comb my hair, it gets washed twice a week and when I get out of the shower it goes into a ponytail.
LOVE LIFE – I love life. I find that trying to learn from your mistakes and focusing on enjoying the season you’re in (whether good or bad) make for a very enjoyable life.
