I've been tagged by Heather to put 20 random things/secrets about myself out into the ether.
Here goes:
1. I am the WORST procrastinator in the world for things like cleaning my work spaces, putting away winter clothes, returning things like luggage to the attic. The worst!
2. I know my husband is the best ever and I rarely take time to point out to him specifically that I appreciate everything he does. I regularly tell other people how wonderful he is though...how backwards is that?
3. I collected Muffy Vanderbear dolls and accessories through high school and part of college. They're all in boxes in my parents' garage now.
4. I majored in interior design in college...I hated drawing proposals. I wanted to get straight the specs and work toward the finished product.
5. There are rooms in my house that still have builder's white paint on them...that will be changing shortly though...we're discussing paint colors right now.
6. My Halloween lights are still up in the front yard. I did take the spider webs and spooky yard stakes down though. The lights will be down this weekend.
7. If I could get away with it, I would leave my Christmas tree up all year. Mainly because I love Christmas, but a little because I don't like packing up all the Christmas stuff after the holidays (see #1).
8. I will have a consistent paper line that someone else prints and sells for me.
9. I will write a book. At least one book, but probably more.
10. I love to bake and cook but I don't like to shop for or clean up after the fact.
11. I would like to go to cooking school.
12. I would like to go back to college and study weaving and textiles.
13. I am the oldest of six children, all from the same two parents. My parents are still married. I wouldn't change any of it for the world.
14. I am terrible about keeping in touch with people. Terrible. I think about people all the time but when it comes to actually calling or writing, time just gets away from me.
15. I am terrible about mailing things. Orders are no problem, ever. Bills are never a problem. It's the little boxes of things like liver of sulfur pebbles (which have been boxed and ready for mailing for two weeks...they will post TODAY). That's why I'm a HUGE fan of surprise packages...no pressure to mail them by a certain date...and you know, they're usually mailed out within days...go figure.
16. I hit a plateau in my weight loss three months ago...I finally burst through it this week! Three pounds! FINALLY.
17. I love the idea of a pet bird but don't actually want one. Ever.
18. I can't throw a centered pot to save my life. I bet if I took the time to practice I could do it. But in a half a semester of college I couldn't get the hang of it. Plus, I really disliked the instructor.
19. I obsess over things I become interested in. For instance, lampworking and glass fusing. There are artist's sites I visit everyday just to see if they have new work posted. Then I reach the point where I want to actually try it myself. Then I spend tons of money buying the tools needed and rarely continue on with more than a passing interest. I guess the problem is I like to do so many different things that I can't focus on one or two.
20. It's safe to say I have Attention Deficit Disorder, but I am afraid to start taking a prescription for it because, while I have seen all the good the medications can do, I have also seen the bad side of it too. I feel like I'll be wasting too much precious time trying out meds instead of just working through it.
