Self portrait of moi...... wearing my first fully finished crocheted scarf. I used Lion Brand HOMESPUN yarn in the color Coral Gables.7 Random or Weird Things about me:
I was tagged by Deborah of Spiritual Anecdotes to give seven random things about me. It is a meme that I believe has gone around the blogosphere for a while now. I'll use that as my reason for not tagging other blogs. Yet if you haven't yet done this one and you read my blog - consider yourself tagged - you know who you are, so when you have it posted let me know! You can view the proper rules and Deborah's own list here.
1. My one addiction is to coffee. I must have a good cup of coffee first thing in the morning. I get cranky without a good cup of coffee. I prefer a cup (usually two) of medium roast brew from freshly ground beans. Don't forget a little milk and sugar. Recently, I've reduced my fat intake so I've adjusted to using some milk instead of half and half.
2. I have a bad habit of leaving drawers and cabinet doors open. I think I get so involved in what I'm getting out of the storage that I forget to shut the drawer or door. It happens the most when I am cooking. My husband would probably say this is my number one weird random thing about me.
3. In my opinion - I would say my number one weird random thing about me is that I'm like a parrot when it comes to sounds, tunes, and commercial jingles. They go in my head and the next thing I'm parroting the sound. Christmas music is particularly insidious. I may not know the words but the tune goes in and I parrot it. Bless my husband's heart - he usually just laughs. When I hear him laugh I try to stop.
4. I make homemade pizza once a week. I don't make the sauce from scratch. I use a quarter of a jar of spaghetti sauce for that. But I make the dough from scratch using my bread machine. I can top it with lots of veggies. We also use meat - but it is so wonderful to eat a pizza loaded up with zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms. I cook the pizza on one of those baking stones. And every week I find myself saying I love my pizza!
5. When I'm being creative I work my lips. Especially if I am being creative using my hands to make or craft something. I always know when I have had a creative day because my lips need chap stick. Sometimes, you might even hear me say, "Hold your mouth right" because when I'm working on a project and I'm hoping something will come together I just have to work those lips and hold my mouth right that way it will all work out just right!
6. I love kale. The green leafy vegetable. It makes me feel strong. Every time I eat it I always feel like I've just consumed a super food.
7. I'm really good at finding lost objects in clutter. I had a lot of practice as a kid searching for eyeglasses or keys. We used to run around saying, "here keys....here keys"....like we were calling a puppy dog to us. All that searching developed a visual skill though. I can find lost glasses, keys, masking tape, etc.... One day I was in a small kitchen supply store. The salesclerk said, "I've lost my phone in here somewhere." I asked her what color it was and then I found it easily for her. It was on a shelf near the woks and Asian style dishes.
Thanks for the fun Deborah. I hope that is random or weird.......and to all of you -please, when you're leaving a comment - "hold your mouth right"
