5 down

5 totally random facts (as found on THIS website):

  • The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets.
  • The highest point in Pennsylvania is lower than the lowest point in Colorado.
  • The word "nerd" was first coined by Dr. Seuss in "If I Ran the Zoo."
  • The word "lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.
  • The sound of E.T. walking was made by someone squishing her hands in jelly.

5 things I've learned since being married:

  • When going to sleep I lay on one side and then promptly switch to the other after about 10 minutes.  You can almost time it.  Weird.
  • Volcanoes are not just for science projects- they work for drains too.
  • Milk is consumed in mass quantities in our house. 
  • Road trips are necessary- they allow lots of talk time. 
  • Nothing like a good dance party with your very own dance partner in the living room or kitchen. 
5 random facts about me: 
  • 100 meter butterfly was my event in high school.  I took first place only once.  And nearly drown at my first meet. 
  • I get antsy about my hair.  It MUST be changed regularly- though when I do it on a whim- I usually regret it. 
  • I bite my nails. Still.
  • I learned to roller skate in our garage in Concord.  I didn't know how to stop so I'd slam the garage door or the dryer to stop myself.  
  • Hot Pink. And Yellow. They are marvelous colors. (I wear hot pink more than yellow but love yellow walls.)
5 random facts about Sean:
  • He's a role player.  Not the online kind- more like Dungeons and Dragons though he's never actually played D&D.  He even has a cloak. 
  • He loves to work with his hands. Tinkering, playing in the dirt, fixing stuff, making "batteries" out of cardboard boxes.
  • He ran Cross Country in high school... but did it for the road trips with girls more than a love of running or serious competition. 
  • He's fearless in the kitchen. (At least I think he is) He adds spices and stuff I've never heard of to dishes.  
  • He wants to turn Nena (our VW Jetta) into an EV (electric vehicle) someday.  He's got lots and lots of spreadsheets to prove he's done the research.  
5 things I love about Sean:
  • His creativity- it comes out in all sorts of ways.
  • He let me get a few more minutes of sleep this morning by playing trains with Lando.
  • He goes along with my crazy ideas like training for a 5k or Luau on Friday just because. 
  • When you watch a funny movie with Sean it doesn't matter if the movie is ACTUALLY funny--- if Sean's laughing--you will be too. 
  • and last but not least, I love that he comes and finds me as soon as he gets home to give me a kiss.  
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! To Eternity and Beyond!

One of my mental blocks as a writer is trying to figure out my audience. That was always a tricky question for me to answer when writing papers in college? Who am I writing this paper for, exactly? The college professor who is grading me, obviously. But what about the blog? Who am I writing for? Is it just for me and then I launch it out into the world in case someone else needed what I did? Is it a convenient way to communicate with family both near and far? To honor those who have come before me and those who come after? Is my rambling for friends? People with depression? Parents? Women? Mormon? Ex-Mormon? People with chronic pain? (I would argue we all live with chronic pain but I digress...) Will my words find English majors? (They are likely appalled with my lack of editing.) Poets? Artists? Quilters? Lovers of words? Spiritual people, who wonder if it is true that they belong everywhere and nowhere? Thirty-somethings? Teens? The walking wounded w...

The House that Jack built.

Image
Well I don't know for sure if his name was Jack.  His last name might have been Nielson.  A man, Somebody Nielson came by a few weeks ago and said this was the house his grandfather lived in (and I think built).  He confirmed that the floor in the living room is indeed the original flooring--I'll have to get a better picture because the craftsmanship is beautiful.  This grandson that stopped by (old enough to be 10 or 15 years my parents' senior) enjoyed seeing the house again.  Then just last week when we were finishing the screws on the deck and cutting open windows another old resident came by.  She was tickled to see that someone was fixing up the place.  Her mom bought it from my husband's grandpa (who bought it and flipped it some 20 years ago).  People from all over town have commented on it.  I'm sure glad to see that our hard work is appreciated by the community.  I'd love to get the stories these walls could tell. (Let's be ho...
