25 Random Things About Me

Well I have been tagged numerous times on Facebook to do this and finally posted them on Facebook today but realized that not all of my Blog Readers are on Facebook so decided to post them here as well. Sorry for the repeat if you read in both places.

1. I have the most amazing husband who loves cooking way more than me and loves nothing better than telling me that he will cook the steamed vegetables because I only serve frozen corn or peas or fresh veggies cut up.....seriously!
2. I love candles and enjoy having the burning just because.
3. I love travelling and someday hope to get back to Europe, but also see Africa and Australia/New Zealand.
4.I go to Curves 3/week and have been doing that for 5 years. I love Curves and exercising.
5. I have an awesome friend who has walked with me since our youngest children started Kindergarten(they are turning 26!).
6. I like cats better than dogs even though we had a dog for 14 1/2 years.
7. I have had 2 cats named snowball in my life...I named the first one when I was just little, and then Heather named the second one when she got her while I was on a Choir Tour!
8. I love to sing....but am terrible about remembering words!
9. I love to laugh...long, and loud and clear(that's from Mary Poppins and I could sing that entire chorus for you)
10. I don't like movies with sad endings.(life has enough of those without paying to watch another one)
11. I love sports and sometimes am the one to ask that the channel be changed to watch a Canucks Hockey Game or some other game that is one.
12. I love Figure Skating and have been blessed to have tickets to both the Canadian Nationals and the World's when they were in Vancouver. However, I didn't get a single ticket for the Olympics and am sad about that. (and yes, we tried)
13. My first language was German and yes I can still speak it even though I moved away from home 35 years ago this fall.
14. Speaking of languages, I actually love languages and have learned to say hello in several(but I get into trouble because I don't know how to answer if the person asks me something after I say 'hi').
15. I took piano lessons for 13 years and completed my Grade 10 exams including all the theory.
16. I was working on my ARCT in Piano Performance when I was in a car accident and cracked my neck. I never did complete it....so sad.
17. I would rather pull weeds in my flower beds than cook(yes it's true).
18. Speaking of gardening, I love flowers of any kind but Gerbera Daisy's and orange or yellow roses are my favorites.
19. My husband does most of the grocery shopping in our house these days and he often picks up flowers to bring me!(yup, I am spoiled and know it!)
20. I planted over 200 bulbs in our garden in fall and the first snowdrops are blooming.
21. I love to read and love anything historical.
22. Taking pictures is something I enjoy a lot.
23. I also enjoy scrapbooking our pictures and usually need 2 albums for one year of pictures.
24. Swimming is something I love to do, preferably in a lake, but a pool is ok.
25. If I could be anywhere right now, I would love to be walking along a sandy beach somewhere warm with my sweetheart!

So fun to read this! Nothing wrong with fresh, cut up veggies with a meal. Seriously, Darrell does the same thing for a vegetable when he cooks and Kristen prefers them that way too. That's too bad about the Olympics, with it being so close you would think they would give the locals first dibs on the tickets!

Although I didn't really learn anything new .. . I just want to say that it's so good to know you...and so good to keep walking with you. Thanks for listening to empty chatter, frustrations, joys, wishes and all!
