About Me

Interesting fact I read today:

"An airplane mechanic invented the Slinky while he was playing with engine parts and realized the possible secondary use for the springs"...Neat. 

I'm sitting here just after putting my daughter to sleep listening to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" sung by Judy Garland. Before I started playing the song on my phone, I sang it. There are only a few songs I can sing to her that she will fall asleep to. And I have to sing to her. Top two: Amazing Grace & Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

I'll begin by telling a little about myself!

10 bits of info about me:

1) I like to craft and I am always looking for new ideas! I have a problem, though. I'm bad at staying on track with any project at one time. For example, I am trying to finish this cross stitch for my husband (it was supposed to be his anniversary present last month) and a latch hook my mom bought for me a few years ago.

What I was supposed to have finished already

2) I have a Russian Tortoise for a pet and love her! She has a personality, that's for sure! More about some other time...

3) I love trying recipes out. Whatever I can get my hands on, I wanna try and make it! I hope to share some fun recipes on here. 

4)I'm really good at making scrapbook books and diaper cakes, and a few people think I could actually make good money from selling them, but I just don't know how, so I don't. 

This is not my favorite one, but it's the only one I have a picture of.

5) I can't stand to walk barefoot on dirty floors or in hotel rooms. I can do it if I'm outside, but that's about it. Sometimes, I have to wear something in my own house. It drives me nuts to have dirty feet! It makes me more crazy to put those dirty feet in clean shoes.

6) I LOVE Joss Whedon. Buffy is my all time favorite, but Firefly and Angel are really good, too. Especially Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog! Love...

Buffy Cast (Early In The Series)

7) My husband and I love getting together with people and playing 42 (a domino game) or other board games.

8) I Love to swim. I swam most of my life and it's the only workout that I love to do. I do other things like a few beachbody programs, but swimming doesn't hurt my body like anything else would. 

9) I love painting my nails with crazy colors or neat simple designs.

I heart my home state. I did this for Texas Independence Day.

10) It may sound cliche, but I really do LOVE spending time with my baby girl. The best moments I have are with her. I love snuggling and giving her all my love. Since the moment I became a mommy, I began to have such scary thoughts about how she could get hurt etc, etc. I love her too much, and I love that I love her too much. <3
