7 random things

Alisa tagged me back in December to do this and, as you all could tell, I haven’t been very good at blogging lately.  Since I am trying to get better at it I decided I better follow through as a good friend should.  (Yes that was for all those whom I might tag, because I really want to see them all.)  Well, I usually have a hard time coming up with things like this but last night I was doing the one on facebook that I was tagged for.  That one was 25 things.  Yikes!  Well, as it appears that I am more inspired in writing at night time, things just started flowing out of my fingers onto the key pad.  So, maybe this is cheating, but I just took the top 7 things from that list and copied them to paste onto here.  If you would like to see the complete list you are all invited to my facebook. Oh yes, and I tag Merilee( yes I know you’ve done it, but I want to see something besides your before Christmas post), Monique (same reason), Diana, Ginger, Julie, Amy, and Kim.

1. I almost always have a child attached to my knee.

2. I once fed a swan a pretzel from my mouth. I also have a picture somewhere to prove it.

3. I used to braid my hair Bo Derrik style in high school. Although, it never looked as good as hers.

4. When I was younger I used to want to be a snow ski jumper. You know off those really long jumps where you fly forever.

5. I must have things physically symmetrical. For example, if I accidentally stub my toe, I have to stub the same one on the other foot or it bugs me to death.

6. I’ve never broken any extra bones just to ease my weirdness from #5.

7. I am really good at faking asleep. I used to get out of doing chores that way.

    Ever since the first time I picked up a camera, I’ve been in love.  I don’t mean a little point and shoot.  I mean a really 35mm slr.  In particularly, my dad’s little old Yashika.  I don’t think they are even made anymore.  That little camera taught me to see things in a completely different…

  • Arizona trip

    When we moved to California, in February, coming back to the hot Valley of the Sun in JULY and AUGUST was the last thing I would have planned.  I was excited about our new adventure and anxious to share that experience with friends and family as they came to visit us this summer to escape…

    I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately.  That’s not actually that new.  I always do a lot of thinking.  Somehow that doesn’t always mean I come up with the best answers for my dilemas though.  Weird! My latest thinking is about home schooling.  I am really considering doing this next year.  I have always…

  1. I was responsible for most of those braids! Um, I’d love to come down for the baby shower, but I’m worried I’d miss the babies, Kristin’s and Natalie’s. Therefor, I will wait. Happpy February. And I am sad that you would go to both Flagstaff and Tucson, but not come up here. Is that some kind of giant FU?

  2. I remember helping you braid your hair a couple of different times. It was fun.

    Ok, so I’m assuming the tag is to write down 7 random things. I have done this tag before, but it’s been over a year. I’ll try to think of 7 new things. I like these, they are fun.

  3. I’ve quite enjoyed reading 25 random things about you and other people lately but haven’t written them down yet…I must say I didn’t know any of the above mentioned things:-)
