I was doing my usual ritual yesterday morning of getting my juices flowing by reading some blogs before diving into the work around here. I love using my blog roll to read the latest thoughts and goings-0n from my blog pals. Some people who will remain nameless don't blog everyday because they have these things called "real jobs" and those pesky jobs get in the way of blogging often so seeing several post in a week from them make me all happy. Anyways I was surfing the blog roll and read Doron's newest post down at the very bottom I noticed she passed the award on to me and a few others. Wasn't that sweet of her?? But the catch is I have let you guys in on 10 things about me you might not know and pass on the award. In order to do this "Major Award" justice I have to wake up my still sleepy brain and think. So stand back and let me give it a go.First I want to thank Doron over at http://wethreehines.blogspot.com/ for bestowing this award on to me. Here blog is a good mix of the happening in her family which includes my favorite 10 year old boy her son Tater, the adventures of teaching and her kitchen. She is a FAB U LOUS cook and you are to always accept a dinner invitation to her house. Trust me your taste buds will thank you! Go wander over and read her 10 things.
Here are the 10 things you possibly didn't know or ever care to know about yours truly.
1. I don't really like driving. I prefer to be the passenger whenever possible. There no real reason why I feel this way it's just my preference. I am always willing to pitch in for gas if someone else would drive.
2. I love shiny, sequin-y, glittery, bling stuff. It goes from my purses to toe nail polish the more it shines the more I like it. I do TRY to restrain myself and not get too gaudy but I have a feeling I will be one of those old ladies that wears the big jewelry and fur coat at an inappropriate time. Oh well atleast I will think it looks good.
3. I prefer to wear some sort of heel all the time. Brian has made great fun of me for wearing heeled sandals to a soggy soccer field before. Probably the #1 reason I detest tennis shoes. I am short enough I need a little bit of extra height with my shoes.
4.While I detest clutter around my house my closet is a train wreck most of the time. My dresser drawers aren't much better. But if you just stopped by for a visit things would be somewhat tidy looking.
5.Motherhood is more rewarding but much harder than I ever imagined. Each age group comes with it's own joys and worries. I am finding the teenagers to be alot of fun and it interesting to see the glimpses of them being more independent .When I get questions asking how I handle 6 kids I give my older kids alot of credit. They are a huge help in countless ways and I am greatful for it.
6.Within the last year I discovered I like raw oysters. I had never tried them before I just judged them based on looks. After trying them with some cocktail sauce laid on a saltine I really liked them. Doron is my raw oyster eating friend and anytime she is willing to go to the oyster bar I am there in a heartbeat.
7. I have never been athletic , there was a time around 7 years old I played soccer but really it was only to get a trophy. Once I figured out you had to run to play the game I wasn't so happy about playing. I am going through a fitness bootcamp right now and it is by far the hardest thing I have ever done physically. After a year of walking, running and weight training at home I have enlisted a trainer to push me even more. And he is KILLING me but one day I will be thankful.
8. My first car was a White convertible VW Rabbit. My parents surprised on Halloween 1992 when they rolled into the driveway with my car. I had no clue about it and no clue how to drive a stick shift. But I learned and I loved that car. I will one day have another convertible , it may have a handicap tag and the trunk may contain my walker but I will own another one day.
9. I love clothes, and change clothes often. I don't like wearing the same clothes very long and most often I change outfits during the day.
10. I don't like drinking milk. I can go weeks maybe even months without drinking milk from a glass. If milk is ever wanted by me it is to wash down some warm chocolaty dessert.
