My 20 Things


It's been so long, I hope I haven't forgotten how to do this!
In no particular order:

1. I am a huge bird lover, espec. parrots and such. I've had birds of one sort or another for over 30 years, currently Jessie, my mini macaw.
2. I am not a winter/snow/ice fishing kind of person. I left Wisconsin 10 years ago and will never go back.
3. I hate to sweat so my main exercise is walking on my treadmill, sometimes playing catch and fetch with the dog.
4. I am a cookie monster...love 'em, even cookie dough. I just can't eat only one.
5. I love to read, mainly fiction (legal thrillers, funny stuff, cookbooks)
6. I love to cook and bake...make french bread twice a week, cook by the seat of my pants, adding whatever I have that sounds good. Well, I like it!
7. I love sleep, would do it a lot more if I didn't have to get up early to feed the bird, the dog, the chickens.
8. I dislike television, actually haven't had live TV for 10 years, don't miss it at all. I think it's 99% crap on 99% of the 950 channels, and there are so many other things I can be doing with my time, like painting, reading, listening to music, creating, visiting with friends.
9. I'm a creative person at heart but a very disorganized one. If you come to my house, don't expect perfection 'cuz you won't find it, but I will make you feel at home and we will laugh.
10. I love to laugh (see ↑)
11. I used to love to fly, but now I don't. It's just not as special and fun as it once was, really more of a pain.
12. I wish I could see my sons more often, but one is in Wisconsin and the other is in California.
13. The internet is my blessing and my curse. I spend too much time there, but it connects me to friends,family and the world. I buy things I want/need, read about current events, watch movies and occasionally play games.
14. I love watching my dog play and how he looks at me, with his freckles all over his face and his brown eyes (just like mine).
15. I love NPR, have it on all day long. It taught me to like opera, that there is still funny stuff that isn't filthy out there, that learning what's going on out there involves more than 30 minutes at noon and 6PM.
16. I like working outside with my guy, cutting, splitting and stacking wood for fueling our woodstoves and knowing how much money I'm saving by heating this way. There is nothing cozier than listening to the crackle and roar of the logs burning, feeling the heat radiating all around me, seeing the yellow and orange flames flickering and dancing.
17. I enjoy selling things to people, packing them up to ship, and hearing from the buyers how much they like their purchase, how great my service is.
18. I love Pinterest because the interesting, creative and yummy pins are neverending!
19. I like making new friends, learning about other people's lives and other places in my neighborhood, country and world.
20. I like taking quizzes, filling out questionnaires, entering contests for cool stuff.
