10 Things

10 things about me...

1. When I was little I used to spend a lot of time outside chasing and catching anything I could get my hands on (lizards, bunnies, turtles, etc.). There was a creek next to my house and I would go get a bunch of jars of tadpoles and keep them in the garage until they turned into frogs and escaped.

2. I was stung by a hornet while riding a motorcycle with a boyfriend in high school. I still remember how much that hurt!

3. During high school I worked at the only costume shop/formalwear shop in my home town. I did a few costume deliveries of balloons and once did a delivery to a boat factory in fishnets and tuxtails.

4. People called me Smiley in high school - a lot. One of the guys I work with walked in today and called me that - weird.

5. Raw meat really disgusts me and I can barely stand to touch it.

6. I never want kids. I love having pets, but I don't really have any maternal instinct.

7. My mom used to take my sister and I shopping on Saturdays when we were little. If we were good we got to stop and get an Icee. They used to have lots of flavors. I usually got the blue bubble gum flavor one.

8. I love making things, but I hate having to make things. When I see things I like I automatically think of ways to make my own because I usually can't afford the things I really like. It would be so great to be able to buy things that I love without feeling guilty about the money or having to make something similar or close just because of my lack of budget.

9. I like gardening and planting. I don't know much about it, but if I can get plants in a pot or in the ground, 90% of the time they grow and flourish.

10. Outdated interior color schemes and decorating drive me nuts. I hate puffy leather sofas.
