6 or 7 things about me

Paul Tagged me so here goes...


1. I threw up once from laughing so hard. It was at the State Football game in the ISU Minidome (aka Holt arena) in Pocatello. My boyfriend came back from the bathroom and leaned over and wispered.. "their toilet paper is hard" right as was starting to drink my 7-up. I started laughing, turned to choking, then full on throwing up right on the people in front of me. I wonder if they use the same toilet paper at the minidome?

2. I have never had a nightmare. No full on scary wake up in sweats screaming type of anything. I'm more of a giggle in my sleep kind of girl. I wake myself up laughing or giggling at least once a week. Yeah, and don't ask. I don't remember....


3. My favorite place in the whole world so far is Vermont in the Fall. The entire place is transformed into a magical and amazing place. The rolling hills and covered bridges and in some places small lakes just take your breath away.

4. I made out with one of my best friends boyfriend once. (don't ask I won't tell...) I still feel guilty about that...


5. My favorite book is called " I Like You " by Sandol Stoddard Warburg.. I've known this book as long as I can remember and it still makes me happy everytime I read it. "Here is the book that Romeo would have given Juliet; Charlie Brown would have given Snoopy; and you can give to some very special friend..."


6. I really love ABBA. Yes the Group. Shut up this is my blog of favorite things... I am not ashamed of my love for such a sensation. I have now worn out two CD's and working on my third of ABBA's greatest hits.


7. I was a professional seamstress once which consisted of quilting those really cheesy velvet seatcovers. I was super fast and made great money. If you have ever had one of these seatcover.. I'm sorry. I still think they are full of cheese.

I'll never not remember...

"Christopher Robin?," whispered Pooh.
"Yes, Pooh Bear?"
"I'll never not remember you...ever."

Yesterday I cleaned out my studio and prepared for the final closing. It is bitter-sweet as I think back on all my clients, (some good, some bad) and plenty of memories. It is hard to explain the attachment to the work I have made my own for the past 10 years. It is something that I have taken personally. Something that I can be proud of. I feel it defined me and helped me with who I am today. Now I start a new chapter in my life. Now my children are what will define who I am. They will be my greatest work that I can be proud someday. As for my photography... it will always be part of me somehow..I'll never not remember...ever.

New Recipe Blog

Recently I have had a lot of requests for many of my favorite recipes. From Pumpkin Pecan Waffles to Refried Beans I've been sending out e-mails quite a bit recently. To save time and also to share with all my friends and family I have established a new blog of my favorite recipes. I'll update with a new recipe as often as I can and try to keep things seasonal but if you do have a special request just add a comment and I can get it posted for you. Happy cooking...
