Family Photo...

Last night, my sister Jeana took pictures of Nick, Trevor and I. It was a lot of fun and Trevor did pretty good. The fall colors were amazing and it was a great night to take pictures! Jeana thanks for taking them, you do such a great job. You can go to jeanabirdphotography.blogspot.com to see more--here is one of my favorites... Trevor looks so happy!

6 quirky things about me...

I was tagged to come up with 6 quirky things about myself... here goes
1. I have a blanket that I have had since I was born that I still sleep with. It is pretty much a see-through, hole ridden piece of fabric, and should have been thrown away about 15 years ago, but I love it. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to throw it away.
2. I love pepper. I don't usually put salt on my food, just pepper and a lot of it. Sometimes I put a little too much in when I cook.
3. My fashion of choice is: I love wearing athletic shorts or sweats and a t-shirt (if it is cold outside throw on a hoodie) and put my hair back in a messy bun. I think I would make a great candidate for "What Not to Wear." My sister says she should send in a tape of me.
4. I can't stand mushy, soggy bread. I hate when sandwiches get soggy spots or if I have to put bread down the disposal with the water running. Yuck! One time I ordered a French onion soup and I had no idea it comes with a piece of bread at the bottom of the soup-- I couldn't eat it. Okay this might be a little exaggerated…but you get the picture.
5. I have to sleep with a fan on at night. If I don't have one I can't sleep. (There are times I don't need one if I am away on vacation, but if I am home--I need one-- funny huh!) I have concluded that it is the humming sound it makes--it helps me turn my brain off at night otherwise I just think and think about everything I need to do.
6. I love to power nap. The only problem is that my power naps come at bedtime. It takes all of 5 minutes to get ready for bed, but I need that power nap so I can do it. I even did this when I was growing up, I would tell my mom I need 10 minutes--I will get ready for bed in 10 minutes. I would fall asleep for a couple of hours! (I don't need a power nap every night, but the nights that I do, Nick has to let me or else I get pretty grouchy!) Sometimes I fall asleep for 2-3 hours when all I wanted was a little power nap!!

It was fun to think up some things--it made me realize I am a pretty quirky person (there are plenty I haven’t listed)--I guess that is what makes me—me, for good or for bad!!

I am going to tag: whoever wants to do this and Jeana, Emily Eyre, and Emily Holm
