I honestly don't know that I really have one. I am not very good at being crafty. I have done some quilts in the past and I really do love them. Um... I paint minatures sometimes. If I had a picture of one of the minis I had painted I would share it with you. These are Easter eggs my kids and I dyed using onion skins to make the dye and then pressing flowers and other plants against them to leave the impressions. I think they are cool, and even neater when you can hold them and really see all the detail.
2. What is your favorite place to be? I am so moody. Sometimes my bed is by far the best place ever, especially on a cold night snuggling up to my husband. Nothing better.
I also really love being on an airplane or on a long car trip. Adventures. I don't really need a serious destination.
3. Do you now, or have you ever had a collection of anything? (mine was and is Pez dispensers)
I have a collection of minatures for a game called Confrontation that you have probably never heard of. I also tend to collect pillows in my bed. I have far more than my husband approves of. My biggest collection right now is probably kid art. I have to keep pictures of things like Naomi's rendition of "Aliens sledriding."
4. Share 3 things or objects you love most, and why. (people included.)
Christ, My family (ok that is 5 right there), and freedom. I love making my own choices and dealing with the consequences.
5. Why do you blog?
I started this blog so that I could make my own list of other people's blogs that I follow. I just needed a place where they were all together. Since I started and had a format all set up I occasionally write things that I found amusing or want to rant about. Often I hope I am able to present something gives you an alternate persepctive to look at, or laugh at sometimes.
6. What is your take on pets in the home/ as family members?
I LOVE a well trained dog. I enjoy an affectionate and entertaining cat. I do not like fish, or birds as pets. I think lizards are neat but you don't get much in return from them. I don't mind other people having pets, but I have enough organizims aka children to take care of I have no desire to have more things to train and clean up after. I can see how people get attached to them. Some pets are very endearing. I happen to be allergic to nearly all of them. There I don't want to clean up after them and I don't want to spend my life sneezing. That is why I have a pet free house.
7. What are your internet 'guilty pleasures'? (aka facebook, youtube, etc)
Facebook, my list of blogs, DM of the Rings- http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=612 - is hysterically funny if you have done any role playing. Order of the Stick found here-http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html - is so very entertaining. I also enjoy Strongbad emails. Then add in a few random Youtube videos and those are what I enjoy about the internet.
8. I hate the dentist. OK, that's not a question, but it IS open for discussion amongst yourselves. :) I feel like Linda Richman, from coffee Talk , leaving you with a topic to discuss...
I don't mind going to the dentist. I have never had a realy bad experience. I like the way my teeth feel afterward. I do admit I don't really like having other people floss my teeth, that generally hurts. Somethings you should do yourself, brush your own hair, put on your own clothes, floss your own teeth... I even had my wisdom teeth out and ate a hamburger that evening. I don't know what the big deal about the dentist is. Hm... Maybe it is because I have not had a cavity in an adult tooth. Maybe I would hate them more if I had.
My questions for the taggees are:
1. What is your coolest scar and how did you get it?

#5, I like that you blog. I enjoy reading your experiences with your children and I like your deep thoughts. My Dad read your post on tears and he cried before it was done. Don't tell him I told you. :)
ReplyDeleteStrongbad used to be one of my favorites!!! I haven't looked at that site in years - that darn Cheat! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, about the dentist - I dread it for a few reasons. The main reason is I, too, do not like other people forcibly flossing my teeth. I also had braces when i was a teenager, so that involved many uncomfortable/painful prehistoric(it seemed like it) tools and tightenings. It has caused me to be an anti-dentite. Although, I do go every 6 months religiously.
I also dont like people looking up my nose.
