Okay, so I’ve been tagged TWICE by people to do this, I’d better pony up. Now that doesn’t mean 50 random things. No one wants to read that, ugh. So here are my 25.
1. When I went to kindergarten the first day, my mom said, “Have a great day at school.” I responded as i walked down the sidewalk, “They don’t know me now, but they will.”
2. I am a WoW addict. Thanks to friends and work an my nephew. LOL. I am Horde. Didn’t think I would be, but I am. I have two blood elfs…a rogue and a paladin. And if you just understood what I said, you are a WoW nut too.
3. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs. It used to be 6 cats. This borders on ‘catlady’ status. I am NOT allowed in PetSmart on pet adoption day. My heart is way too soft for wayward animals. When I sit on the couch, all the animals come to me to lay around me. One of my dear friends, Mark D. said it is because I am balanced. Hmmm.
4. I used to love to play golf, until I went on the varsity golf team in high school and lettered, but it burned me out. Now I just like the short game or putt-putt.
5. I hate spiders. Spiders like me. It is not a good relationship. Unhealthy is my word. I am an expert at telling the diff between at chigger, mosquito and spider bite. This includes regular spider bites and recluse. Yeah, I have too much XP in that area.
6. I love pizza with crackery crisp, crunchy, crust. I am a crunch girl through and through.
7. I once had a hamster named King. He was HUGE and barely fit through the habitrail. He was the King of the hamster realm. Maybe I should have named him Elvis. LOL
8. Before i die, I want to see Ireland, Scotland, Jerusalem, India, England, Germany, Sudan, Alaska and of course go back to that place in the Caymans. There was an upstairs place called Breezes had the best mojitos on this green earth made with Cuban rum and served by ‘Bon Jovi Pirate’ the bartender.
9. When it snows, it lifts my spirits, which have needed a lot of lifting these days. It is snowing now. I am happier.
10. My brother makes THE BEST smoked stuff. I’ll eat anything he cooks in the smoker with the exception of ribs. Ribs have always grossed me out. I can’t eat them. I don’t know why. Perhaps due to the graphic nature of the rib…ugh. blech.
11. My maiden name is ‘Marrs”. This got my bro and I lots of teasing in our younger years. We fought that battle a lot stop the planet and candy bar references. My niece calls herself marsbars in her email name…freakin’ hilarious…one generation to the next….how viewpoints change.
12. I’m silent these days on my blog. I am in Desolace, spiritually. I wait, I search on the dry plains for rain. I am patient, but it starting to weigh on me with all the stuff happening in my life. For you non-WoW ers… http://www.wowwiki.com/Desolace
13. I like driving little cars. It makes it easy for the directionally challenged folks like me to make U turns to find the right way to go. Plus parking is WAY easier. (And gas is not so crazy)
14. Amazingly, I still keep in touch with a friend from 5-6 yrs old, one I met in Jr. High and one I met in college. Mostly through Facebook these days, but I hope to get together with them again soon. You know who you are.
15. My parents, thankfully, are still alive. This is a blessing, most of the time…unless you are my brother who lives a block from them and has to deal with their computer problems. LMAO.
16. I’m a prairie girl. I need wide open spaces and strong winds. It makes me very happy to hear the wind howling at night. To see in the distance for miles is a comfort. Too many trees or mountains hem me in.
17. I love Clark shoes and own several pair. The are da bomb.
18. I hate malls. I’ve gone years without going to one.
19. I want to go on an international mission trip in 2010. I would prefer Africa, but would be okay with south/central America or through Living Water or my local church. I look to God for guidance on that.
20. I really like Smarties, even after seeing “How they are made.’ Dang they are good.
21. My sinuses are the bane of my winter life. If I could crochet hook them out of my head through my nose like Arnold Schwarzenegger did in ‘Total Recall’ did with the probe, I’d do it in a heart beat.
22. Every year in February, I watch one of my favorite movies, ‘Groundhog Day.’ I love this movie. “Ned! Ned Ryerson! Bing!”
23. I really haven’t spent a lot of quality time in my studio lately. Surprisingly, it isn’t bothering me either. Perhaps the muse is in Desolace with me after all. Perhaps. My site is http://www.chameleonquilts.com
24. I thought I had eclectic tastes in music. I do to a point. Then I talked with someone who is into all kinds of rap and hip hop. I am dumb in that area. I wonder if I can still claim eclectic?
25. I could be anyplace right now it would be Block Island, RI. A little Martha’s Vineyard without the crappy crowds. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone!
