11 Things About Me

1. I am an only child.
2. I am allergic to just about everything- watermelon, pineapple,avocado, dairy, cranberries...the good stuff.
3. I met my husband when he showed up at a BBQ I was hosting when he wasn't invited.
4. I am afraid of deep water (but mostly the fish that live in it - and nibble your toes!)
5. Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys sang to me on stage when I was younger- I just about died! (totally dating myself, but I begged my mom to take me to that show!)
6. I hate plain water - always have, probably always will - I swear by those Mio drops to make sure I get my 64oz. of water in each day.
7. I was a little childhood actor - I even auditioned to be Darla in the Little Rascals (needless to say, I didn't get that one, but the little girl that did was adorable!)
8. My son and I have the same pouty face - and it works with my husband, without fail every time!
9. I am coming to terms with the fact that I will never be a morning person.....ever.
10. Before I had my son, I had never held a baby or changed a diaper (insert only child syndrome here!) - and was so nervous - but now I'm a champ at juggling babies and changing diapers in the most awkward of places.
11.I'm ultra cheesey when it comes to Halloween costumes. I always want to find "group" costumes to do with friends, or now, my husband and son (last year, Clark Kent-hubs, Superman - Noah, and Wonderwoman - me)

Jeni's 11 Questions

1. What is your dream job?
 - I would love to be a Kindergarten teacher. I think all of the important things you need to know you learn in kindergarten, and I'd love to be a positive influence young children's lives.


2. If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be?
- If climate and survival did not come into play.....penguin, hands down.
(We'd have to name him Puffin - since that what Noah calls Penguins these days)

3. What is your favourite thing about yourself?
- As I grow up, I'm starting to see myself and accept myself for who I am. I don't spend as much time trying to "perfect" myself, instead I take time to enjoy my life with the ones that I love and make those positive changes by changing my lifestyle (eating healthy, etc.)

4. What is your favourite flavour of ice cream?
- I miss ice cream (that whole no-dairy thing!!) - but I have found a Rice Ice Cream that I absolutely love - just plain vanilla. Mix that with a little non-dairy cookie dough that I conjure up, and it's like heaven in a bowl!

5. What does your dream home look like?
- My dream home is a rustic log cabin - on plenty of acreage - with a fantastic view (plenty of room for the kid(s), and pet(s) to roam!)

6. If you were stranded on a deserted island what album would you want to have?
- Oooh, that's tough - but Ben Harper "Both Sides of the Gun" would chill me out - and I'd never get sick of it.

7. If you could have any super natural power what would it be (invisibility, super strength, x-ray vision, etc..)?
- My husband thinks I'm crazy for not choosing flying - but the eavesdropping woman in me chooses invisibility.

8. Chocolate or vanilla?
 - vanilla.

9. What is your favorite place to go (Country, a place in your home, a park, etc...)?
- The drive to the Oregon Coast. Something about the beautiful scenery, the winding road, the wind, it always calms me.

10. What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
- David the Gnome! and Eureka's Castle - anybody remember those?

11. What is your favourite era for fashion and why (40s, 60s,etc..)?
- I'm not very fashion intellegent but I love the 1960's sheaths and suits - think what they wear in MadMen. The lines are so clean, and the silhouettes are great. I think the look transfers over pretty well - I know I am a sucker for a good pencil skirt still!
