Eight Things About Me

My lovely sister challenged me to a game of 'blogging eight things about me,' so here goes:

1. I am a confessed addict of chocolate...particularly Rocky Mtn Chocolate Truffles (raspberry and almond...okay my mouth is watering now) or, in the event of dire emergency, chocolate chips from the pantry will do.

2. I am a spelling freak. Misspelled words cause me angst. It's pathetic and ridiculous, but I can't help myself.

3. I am a real princess! I'm allergic to anything less than 24 karat gold or anything more than surgical stainless steel. (Okay, so that has nothing to do with being a princess...just thought I'd throw that in there.)

4. I'm an avid reader. Agatha Christie is one of my all-time favorite writers. AND I love reading to my boys. I could read all day.

5. I feel a huge sense of satisfaction when my house is clean. In fact, I can't cook or even make a sandwich if my kitchen is messy. I'm obsessive about it.

6. I have quite a collection of trivial knowledge. I often know off-the-wall things that are somewhat interesting but not particularly useful.

7. I'm very talented at picking up small objects with my toes...especially toys and such-like. If there's a way to be lazy and keep from bending over, I'll figure out how to do it.

8. I'm a newly crowned 'news group junkie.' Besides my newfound blogging entries, I have begun participating in the Sonlight Homeschool Forums. They're fun but addicting.

Thanks for responding! I must say it's quite endearing that you get your chocolate fix on a bag of Hershey's chocolate chips.
And, I'm totally relating to the toe thing- I'm just as lazy! Ha!
Oh, and I'm going to be way more careful about spell-checking whenever I comment now. ; )

People, she is not kidding. I have been to her bathroom and seen an opened package of chocolate chips on the bath tub ledge. The tub is her refuge. A book, a hot bubble bath and chocolate chips and this girl is in heaven.
However, it is not fair because her metabolism is such that she can eat choc without guilt. Either that or she has found a way to transfer all those calories to her mother!
I did not spell check-trusting to luck. I do love you very much!

what a beautiful picture of you!! I love it! I also am very talented and pick up almost anything with my toes...my mom and sister were always amazed. I learned something new about you! :)

I'm beginning to wonder since everyone seems to pick up things with their toes. If everyone does it...is it really a talent?

angel said...

Okay, wise guy! Yes, it's a talent because most people (ESPECIALLY MEN, I MIGHT ADD) are not adept at this particular gift. If you don't believe me, we'll just have to have a "toe-off" tonight.
