13 Things About Me

 

 

It's preposterous, I know. Incredible that I should be talking about myself on my blog. Perhaps even vain? But, here goes anyway...

13 Possibly New-to-You Things About Me in 2013

1. I'm not much of a conversationalist. Oh, I've learned over the years to do better with starting and maintaining conversations, but there is room for improvement.
2. I hardly ever wear make-up. When I do, it is usually just a little face powder.
3. Dogs are better than cats, or so I think. Though I do particularly like a cat which kills mice and presents them to you each morning on the sidewalk for praise.
4. I wanted to be a foreign missionary.
5. During school, I learned to write with both my right and left hands. This was not taught to me. I learned on my own. Obviously, I wasn't too interested in the teacher's lecture, but I still made good use of my time.
6. I burn grilled cheese sandwiches.
7. I already have one of my children's bedrooms scouted out as a future art studio. The lighting is amazing in that room!
8. My husband travels more than I like (or he likes for that matter). Growing up, I always said I would never marry a man who travels for his work. {Never say never, we all know how that goes!}
9. I'm a very private person. Odd, I know, I blog.
10. Though I like homemade goodies, I still use pancake and brownie mixes.
11. I don't take medicine unless I really need it, which means I haven't had an antibiotic in over a dozen years.
12. My husband and I work with the junior high youth group. We love that age group!
13. Peppermint scented candles are my favorite during the winter months. (I have a scent preference for each season.)

Do you have any of these in common?
