7 Random Things

1. I love to sew. I don't get much time to do it with two kids, but I love it. I usually have several projects lined up and usually start another before finishing the first.


2. I always have lots of projects going on. Right now, I started a little "love book" for my husband. In it, I write things I love about him. When I get frustrated, with him or anything in general, that is when I make sure to write at least one thing in there. It usually changes my attitude and helps me think through things more clearly. Weird, huh?


3. I love little conversations with Tess. For example:


The oven timer started beeping and Tess came flying around the corner.


Tess: Muffins! Muffins!


Me: Oh, yeah.


Tess: OH YES!!!!


4. I love to bake. Cookies, breads, pies, cakes, etc. I have to limit myself to about 1 a week or else I'll never loose the baby weight. :)


5. I want to have a fruit orchard one day. Right now, we have a Loquat tree at the side of our house. (It's like a Kumquat but it has really big seeds.) What I didn't realize before was that there's a lot of work to be done when the tree has fruit. What do you do with all of it?!?!

6. I really enjoy being in the water. Swimming, flailing around...it's all the same. I just like the way it feels. (but I do NOT like to be splashed)

7. I used to be a massage therapist. Maybe after the kids get in school I will be again.
