Seven things you don't care to know about me

I was tagged by my brother and newly acquired sister-in-law, thanks Cassie and Scott! Love you too... :) Since I liked the way they did their posting I'm going to copy it, but since they're more interesting than I am, hope you enjoy.


I hate snow. I hate cold. Unless I'm buried under a warm blanket, in front of a raging fire, drinking hot cocoa, or bundled "Christmas Story"-like for snowmobiling or snow-shoeing, I hate the white stuff. Looking at it makes me cold. I have not been sad this winter; it was not missed. (Clarification, it was not missed by me; there are three members of my family who have missed it, and two who will never know what it is...hopefully!)


I love carving pumpkins. The first day of October brings with it giddiness and joy, knowing that I'll soon be up to my elbows in orange gooey-ness, to create something that will last a whole two days before getting wrinkled and moldy...love it!


I love to take pictures! On my wish list is a really nice, big, expensive camera to make it look official when I take my kids outside to 'shoot' them. I do not however like having my picture taken. Give me a tan, a haircut, and me reaching my weight loss goal, and then maybe that will change.



I like to help make things more beautiful. Shane is the real talent behind our remodeling fun, but I like to help. There is something special about taking something ugly and making it better. Be it a house, cabinets, floors, furniture, people...Rewarding, isn't it?


I like picnics with family, I like hiking, I like four-wheeling, I like a good fire to roast marshmallows over, or to cook a good tin-foil dinner in, but I DO NOT LIKE CAMPING!! It's dirty, icky, smelling, with little creepy-crawlys, and it's cold!!! I was not raised camping, so I never got a feel for that sort of stuff. It's Shane's responsibility to teach the kids to camp. My limit in a tent in one night, yes, ONE night!


I also HATE skiing. It took me 25 years to be talked into putting skis on my feet, and one time on a mountain to realize it was not a sport for me. Nothing that makes me go faster down a hill of snow interests me, excluding maybe snowmobiling. Refer to above mentioned item about cold and snow. If it's white and cold and not named ice cream, I do not like it.


I like motorcycles. I love riding on the back of Shane's. I think one day I'll cave in and finish learning how to drive this one so that Shane can get a bigger and better one. For now we look at it and dream of rare date nights without children where we can take it, instead of the Suburban with three car seats...
