Feel Good Blogging Challenge: 10 Things About Me

Today, you are going to get to know a bit about me that my family may not even know! Oh, how exciting!! Enjoy!


1) I own a piano that I can't play, simply because I LOVE piano music. I've had it for about 7 years. It is a great blessing that, recently, my oldest son has been learning to play by an exceptional music teacher.  






2) I dry my flowers. I hate that they die. So, when they're at their prime, I hang them up or smash them in books. I love the feeling of finding a preserved flower in a book that I totally forgot about. 

3) I sing. Mostly when no one is around, though I am completely comfortable around my children. I was part of a singing group through church with my incredibly talented friend Koko Venegas (check her out, she's AMAZING!!), and I've done solos and duets in church as well. This was all in 2005/2006, but since then, singing has become a need of some sort. Like a drug. = ) I love it... But I'm not the best; I'm not claiming any great talent or gift, though I'm not the worst either.

4) I love working with numbers, but I am nowhere near a math whiz. Numbers in my head move around a lot and switch up on me. I have to write them down, which is ok because I love writing numbers down and organizing them.

5)  I am a reluctant Twilight saga fan. The movies are nowhere near the books, by the way. I mostly enjoy the love story.

6) I hate zombies!! Can't stand them. The World War Z zombies are the exception, but other than that, they make no kinda' sense. 

7) I love dancing. I'm not a great dancer, but I do what I do, and I enjoy it! Going to the middle of a crowd and dance by myself, when I don't have a partner.   

8) Within the last couple of years, I've developed a mild germ phobia. Not fun and a bit distressing. 

9) Sea turtles are my favorite animal. I love a few animals, but these are at the top.

10) I love swimming in waves. I enjoy it more than going to any water park. 


To those of you who are not participating in the challenge, I ask that you comment with 2 things about you you wouldn't mind sharing. It will be nice getting to know a little bit about you as well. 
EMBRACE ALL THAT MAKES YOU, YOU!!

  5. I love that you dry your flowers! Sometimes it is hard for me to dry mine, because you have to do it when they are the prettiest!

  7. Kristie, I'm assuming I understand what you mean. I take a few out and leave the rest so that I can continue to enjoy them.

    Katherine, I encourage you to learn! I had the intention of learning, but haven't come across the time to do it.
