8 delightful tidbits.

The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their 8 things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Shouldn't be hard thinking up some more habits/facts/confessions! Hmm...


1. I must rinse my feet before going to bed – EVERY TIME. The foot pores must be opened and cooled and of course, clean.

2. Every night, in bed, when I turn off the tv and the light - when the night's quiet settles over me and my day ends - I say aloud to my two puppies: “night-night babies, mommy loves you” – no matter if they’ve been asleep in their crates for an hour.

3. . I instantly start evaluating things and collecting in my mind how I would improve a process when introduced to something new. I can’t help it. I enjoy the challenge of creating smooth-running, effective efficiency.

4. I’m constantly designing in my head. I could live in front of HGTV all weekend. (If I had a more comfortable couch and Timmy would stop getting into everything because of boredom)

5. To continue Christine’s drawing theme – I drew during class in college. I remember whole lectures when I looked back at parts of the drawing.

6. I have fantasized about the following scene for as long as I can remember: (sound familiar Suz?)
Big gorgeous kitchen, lots of windows, fresh flowers on the granite topped island. The puppies playing on the cool tile near my feet while I cook and Frank Sinatra swooning in the background. The smell of coffee brewing and blueberry pancakes cooking on the Viking stove. Friends sitting drinking orange juice at the counter and a few more knocking at the door. You can hear laughter and stories being told to more laughter.

7. I secretly wish to be discovered as a singer. Stemming of course from singing my whole life, singing on a worship album (go buy it – it’s amazing ) with some amazing talent, having best friends who can rock the house and put out albums, and a short stint dating a producer. I’m destined to seek out those places with amazing acoustics, such as the garage in my apartment complex and my shower, and belt it out like only a closet diva can.

8. I want to get my personal trainers certification and, like Brad Pitt for the movie Troy, see what my body can really look like when pushed beyond my perceived limits.



Oprah: This is what's amazing...your body.

Brad Pitt: Oh, stop! The body is pretty amazing. It will
acclimate and do what you tell it it needs to do. [My trainer] said if you want
to get to where you want to get to for this thing you have to put yourself in a
place of discomfort every day. You have to push through it. I figured I'm about
to turn 40 and impending mid-life crisis, so let's see.




I'm tagging these peeps - but will have to do it via email - cuz they're not bloggers: Elana, Katherine, Amie, Jennifer, Sue
