1. I love making lists. Not just a regular "to do" list for every day stuff, but lists in preparation for things. Like a "what I need to get done before Christmas" list. I get really excited for holidays and fun occasions and half the fun is the planning and gearing up for it.
2. My pointer fingers on both hands are quite "curved" ("curved" sounds nice than "crooked" no?) and because of this my nick-name is "lucky sevens". Why you ask? Because if I ever wanted to raise my finger in the air and chant "We're #1!" It wouldn't fly because it would look like I was boosting that "We're #7!" Not so cool. Most of you know this nickname, I think, but did you know that Ty considers "the sevens" to be my handicap? According to him they are the reason I will never be incredible at sports ("they interfere with your grip") and why I can't knit.
3. Deep ocean freaks me out. I can't watch shows about the ocean because I am always afraid a scary sea something will come out of nowhere. The anticipation is too much and I totally psych myself out. Even finding Nemo. I totally love that movie, but I'm always a little nervous when he goes to "touch the butt." I like the beach. I'm totally fine swimming within the reef, but scuba diving--NO WAY JOSE.
4. Speaking of my Finding Nemo worries--No matter how many times I watch a movie or read a book I still think there is a chance something different will happen than what has happened before. Like Maybe this time Beth won't die or Terry won't get hit by a car on the way to the Empire State Building. I'm such a sucker.
5. I don't miss working. Everyone said I would have a hard time adjusting to staying at home. Nope. I love it. This is what I was made for.
6. I always have to have a project (or several) in the works. I need to have something to do with my hands or to keep my mind going if I'm watching TV (with the exception of Pushing Daisies and The Office.) You should see my apartment right now. The sewing machine is prema-out until Christmas and all my projects are scattered on top of all the bookcases (so the little hurricane doesn't get at them). It's great fun though and Ty doesn't seem to mind. Right honey?

Since this turned into 6 random things about me, how about a random picture?
Yeah, I know, not the most flattering of photos, but if you look carefully, you can see the "sevens." This was taken 8 years ago on a trip to NYC with my mom and daddy. If you look even closer you will notice that the up arrow on the elevator is not pointing up. As soon as I noticed it I said "Going my way?" So naturally we had to take pic.Happy Friday.
Very cute. And don't worry about the fingers... we all have our deformities. By the way, isn't it Beth who dies in Little Women?
ReplyDeleteduh! yes of course it is beth carly! thanks for the edit. see what i mean about expecting something different to happen no matter how many times i've read it!? hee hee.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed YOUR list as at least half of it would be MY list too...it is genetical! Love being home & don't miss work (Sorry Dr. B!), always have a project..or two..or three, and gotta love those lists!...just writing something down and acknowledging it takes such a burden off the my shoulders...then crossing it off, what delight!?...sometimes I think I right extra things on my list just so I can have the fullfilment of crossing them off!
ReplyDeleteI love the sevens. I laughed so hard about that. And I love your list. I guess I'm going to have to do this now, too...
ReplyDeleteDid I write this or just think it?
So I post this, then I go back to your homepage and there's McKinley in the leaves (cute picture, btw). Then I post something else and come back and she's now filling my whole computer screen. She's growing so fast!
ReplyDeleteha ha. funny that you are on right now while i'm messing with a new banner. we'll see if i can get it to work. my html skillz are very minimal. but i did get it to work once, so i think there is hope! (cross your fingers just in case...)
