My dear friend, Elizabeth, owner and designer of Softpencil Designs, gave me this award!
Thank you, Elizabeth! Now I have to tell you 7 boring things about myself. LOL
1. Like Elizabeth, I cut my own hair. I have always cut my husband's hair and my sons' but not until about 5 years ago did I start cutting my own hair. It was around Christmas, and I had planned to go to the hairdressers, but it snowed, and I couldn't get out of the driveway. So in desperation, I cut it myself! I had watched hairdressers cut my hair in the past, so I didn't feel too intimidated. I can even do layers front and back!
2. I have been in the same Bunco group for 23 years. We meet once a month to roll dice, chat, and eat delicious food.
3. I am a procrastinator. When something is looming over my head instead of tackling it right away, I start cleaning anything and everything that doesn't move. Usually I'll start in the bathroom. I have it down to a science, and I can clean the entire room in 15 minutes. Hubby always asks when he sees me whirlwind cleaning, "What are you putting off that you should be working on?" Actually cleaning is mindless work, and I'm able to think a lot of things through before beginning a task.
4. I LOVE chocolate! I have to eat at least two pieces every day. My favorite are the Hershey's Nuggets with milk chocolate on the bottom and dark on top. I keep them in the freezer.
5. I love my kids and grandkids sooo much. I pray for them all the time. Someone once said that a mother's prayers are like a bright shining star shooting straight to Heaven. I certainly hope so.
6. Hubby spoils me. He cooks for me, and I clean up afterward. Before starting college he worked as a cook. He cooks fast too! He hates cleaning up afterward, and I don't mind at all. I do enjoy baking. I love making desserts. I have made three wedding cakes and a huge engagement cake for my children over the past five years.
7. I read every night before I go to sleep. Right now I am reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I heard about the book on NPR (National Public Radio) and one of my Bunco friends had just finished reading it, so she lent it to me.
