25 is the Magic Number

I had this as a facebook note a while back, but I recently found it again and thought it's be a nice little "get to know you" for the blog. There are 25 random facts, so I'll post them 5 at a time so the interweb is not overwhelmed by the absurd randomness of my life and personality. So here it goes....

1. I love coffee. If you didn't know this, you are probably not my friend. It is my addiction and obsession and honestly what gets me out of bed in the morning. People who add all the creme/milk/sugar/coffeemate/syrup nonsense are posers. Instant coffee=sacrilege.

2. I’m basically 80 years old. I love to knit, bake, clean, and read to small children. My back starts to hurt if I stand up too long, I'm currently contemplating glucosamine supplement for my knee pain, and I’m pretty sure I’ll need a hip replacement before I’m 40. If that doesn’t remind you of your grandmother, I don’t know what will.

(I was tagged in this picture on facebook. You can check my profile, I am not kidding)

3. I really like wintergreen Altoids. I then keep the tins and put things like earrings, change, and bobby pins in them.

4. I laugh a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And most of the time it’s at really silly things. Like myself, and the Disney channel. But I laugh anyways. I’m told it’s contagious.

5. Sarcasm is what I do. I have a true appreciation for those with the driest of humor. Though I've found that it doesn’t work too well via text . . . Sorry friends.

But who am I kidding I really love them.

5 more days, 5 more days, 5 more days...

I'm Baaaaaaaack!

It has been quite some time since I've last posted... The last few months have felt like a whirlwind of events, but in the same sense some parts feel like forever ago. . .

So, here it goes, RECAP:

1. SUMMER: spent at Bil-O-Wood! (where else?) I had my most favorite girls in the whole world again, many of which received their Voyageurette Hat. 

(I'm so proud!)

 I met some new (and old) aussies

Had some fun times in the great Canadian wilderness

(L! is for the way you look, at meeee!)

And had an all-around awesome time with friends, family, and the people I love.

2. SCHOOL: ugh. Stress to the MAX. But I still love it for some reason...

So far this semester I've seen a baby come into this world, 3 babies being pulled out of their mother's womb and into this world (aka C-section aka kinda icky), I've hung out with some schizophrenic and bipolar kids, and survived the first round of test-mania (for some reason all of are exams are within hours of each other this entire semester).

3. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN: I feel like I've been exploring a lot the past few months, and will continue to do so in the coming ones. New churches, new faces, public radio, a trip to England, and an Etsy Shop are just a few of the things that have been on my mind lately...
