This little place I live is so amazing. Trees and light and birds. I will really miss it when we move this summer. Still don’t know where we’re moving to, so don’t ask. I’m super impatient about this whole thing and have absolutely no control. I could start deep cleaning my house or something productive in preparation. I will one of these days. Probably on a Saturday when there is a grown-up here to keep me on task.
Anyway, I got tagged for a “write 7 random things about you” meme, so here goes:
1. I’m messy and generally disorganized. I try to be on top of things and do fairly well in spurts. It is a very good thing I married the man I did because I have gotten pretty good at maintaining some routines when it comes to the structure of our mornings and evenings, but as for maintaining self discipline with things that I don’t like to do (read dusting, cleaning finger prints off walls, dog snot off of windows, or even sometimes pee off of the bathroom floor) I’m not so good. This has been a problem as long as I can remember. Ask my mom.
2. I worked in a wood shop in college. We took trees that would be taken to the dump and turned them into lumber, then into jewelry boxes. I got to use lots of power tools and learned to identify all sorts of woods. It was an awesome job– much better than the two weeks of phone calls I made for AT&T. I couldn’t handle that for long.
3. Um, I have to sleep hugging something soft, but inanimate. I slept with a big white stuffed reindeer until I had two kids, then decided that I should try to be a grown-up, so I gave up the reindeer. I absolutely must have my hugging pillow,though, or my back is all tweeked in the morning.
4 . I’m irrationally afraid of making phone calls. To anyone. If someone can explain this to me please do.
5. I really, really want a tree house some day.
6. Hmm… my favorite color is green. Brown and blue are right up there. Well, it has to be the right blue– a light turquoisish bluish grayish. The color of the walls in my kitchen, dining, family room area– that blue.
7. I watched American Idol tonight. People seem to be surprised when I tell them I watch American Idol. I guess I don’t seem like the American Idol type? I’m really not much of the TV watching type, but watch American Idol I do. I’m rooting to the two Mormons. Oh, and the kid with the dread locks.
Now, if you have a blog and feel so inclined to write 7 things about yourself on it consider yourself tagged.
The trees were so cool like that. Too bad we only have one tree.
I like the dread lock boy too.
That was fun to read! I don’t like making phone calls either…I prefer email…it seems more safe.
I hate, hate, hate making phone calls too. I don’t know what it is, something about the phone is kind of scary.
which ones are the mormons? I haven’t been following the show but did watch one episode this past week.
Did you work at Urban Hardwoods? In Logan? ~ Angela
angela-
it was called urban forest woodworks.
OMG I don’t like tha phone either! What’s up with that? I don’t answer it unless I know the number on the caller ID and I prefer to email instead of cold call (or check website FAQ pages). Nice to find a kindred spirit.
Just found your blog via soulemama and I love these kinds of posts! I met my hubby in a woodshop and still haven’t given up sleeping with a “reindeer” (a bear in my case). I substitute a pillow in hotels because it seems wrong to pack a teddy bear in your luggage at 32 years old but I sleep soooo much better hugging something (inanimate and soft). I hated phone calls as a kid but I’m okay now–couldn’t tell ya why
