so sweetly blessed: October 2008

OK, Dana tagged me to share 7 interesting/odd facts about me that you might not know. I"ll give it my best shot...

#1. I can cook with the best of 'em (OK, not like Rachelle... but pretty darn good:) ) I love throwing in how I think it should be made, stepping out on the limb and trying recipes and I LOVE cookbooks (with pictures)... I also am proud that my kids will eat most anything and love their veggies. But on the flip side - I can't bake. I'm ashamed to admit it... but it's true. Can't make a cookie to save my life. Even those break and bake ones come out wonky. I'm thinking it might make all the difference in the world if I got one of those silicone liners for my cookie sheet? Someone please tell me that one of those will make me able to bake ;-)

#2. There is nothing in the world that I hate more than being scared. HATE IT. It makes my stomach curl in very uncomfortable ways. I'm pretty convinced I feel fear at about 4 times the level of the rest of the human population. :) I think there may be a pill for this... if I was the pill taking type.

#3. When it's just me in the car.... no kids, no hubby. I ROCK OUT to PiNK, Fergie, Kid Rock - and even some great favs from back when, Fiona Apple, Meredith Brooks, Black Eyed Peas ... I've even been caught leaving a good ol' Boyz II Men in the cd player... I have told Aaron before that I bet people look twice when there is a minivan beside them with some thumppin' base... HAHA. serious.

#4. I crave being able to use my creative outlets. I feel I am the most stressed when I don't have time to be creative. (um, like right now!)

#5. Oh for the love of photography. I am a bit obsessive about the pictures I take. When editing for clients I tend to go overboard and have been known to spend up to 12 hours on one client's photo shoot..... and that would be why I am seriously behind at the moment.

#6. I would love to go back to school. Isn't that crazy? I would LOVE to take nursing. I love science and medicine. I have been looking into seeing how far my 3.5 yrs of psychology courses could get me towards a nursing degree. I'm surprised how many science prereqs I have already completed... it is definitely something that needs to wait for a bit, but it's a dream for sure :)

#7. Hmm. I'm trying to think of a 7th.... so I came up with a fun game :) I'm going to leave it up to YOU to put something in the comments that you think is interesting/odd about me! But PLAY FAIR! Nothing embarrassing (rachelle!!!;) ) ok? Remember I have the power to delete your comments... haha.

MY TURN to tag people! Suzanne and Rachelle (maybe this can be that first entry on a new blog!!), get to bloggin' your 7 things ladies!!
