11 Random Things About Me!

11 QUESTIONS I WAS ASKED: 

1. If I had to choose a career totally different than the one I'm in, I would be a geologist. I wish that I had majored in that as an undergrad, actually.

2. Three things that terrify me are whales, mascots, and rock climbing.

3. There are no TV shows I'm embarrassed that I watch. I enjoy watching things that are mentally stimulating - whether that's because they teach me new things or because other people are stupid, I'm cool with it.

4. I don't really follow any blogs regularly.... I go on binges to cooking blogs and stuff. Right now I'm into Smitten Kitchen.

5. Something that I have been wanting to tell someone but haven't been able to..... I guess to someone I work with: It's not LEIA. It's LEEEE-uh

ME

NOT ME

6. I recently finished The Subtle Knife, the second of three books in The Golden Compass series. Pretty good - very imaginative. I think some readers are turned off by how blantantly anti-religion it is, though.

7. My favorite flowers are sunflowers with any blue flower.

8. Everyone says I look like either Brad Taylor from home improvement or this girl

 

from the cover of cosmopolitan. 

9. My favorite article of clothing is my tube top I wear as a skirt in the summer. Really airy and cottony, long enough without being frumpy, great shape. Love it.

10. My family has 5 kids - Jennifer (almost 36), Debby (34) , Jared (almost 30), Rebecca (27), and me (25). Jennifer and Rebecca are married, and Jennifer has 3 kids - James, Luke, and Ben. Becca is pregnant with her first.

11. My least favorite chore is folding the laundry. I have really dry skin, and something about folding clothes makes my hands hurt because they're dry. It's like.... wiping all that fabric over them sucks all the mositure out of my hands.
