Here's something to think about

You wanted something less negative? Not too happy with my tone lately? Fine.

But just as a reminder, this is my blog and it's what I want to write. If you are unhappy with the blog you can a.) leave considerate feedback letting me know what you think, b.) stop reading it or c.) begin writing your own. It's very therapeutic and a good creative way to express yourself.

Now onto today's post. Thought I'd go more like and airy so not to ruffle any more feathers.

Ten random things about me
10. I have a co-pilot in my car. It's a yellow smiley face with no arms and two stubby legs.
9. I don't puke when sick. Unless it's something really REALLY nasty, them I might a little. But I've know Benjamin for over six years now and he's seen me puke I think two whole times.
8. I don't particularly like honeydew melon. I like watermelon and cantaloupe, just not honeydew.
7. I firmly believe that women can be empowered by God just as much as a man and should be allowed to teach in the church.
6. I love old movies.
5. I have given my dogs their own human personalities. Jackie's the ivy-league brainiac and Baylee's the cute one getting through live solely on her looks.
4. I eat things like gummy bears color by color - all oranges first, then greens, then yellow, then clear then reds. Reds most always are last.
3. I want to go to Europe for a 3-4 week vacation.
2. I currently have 6 living plants in my office I keep fed and alive. That's REALLY good for me.
1. I really would like to live up north somewhere for at least a year so I could see what their winters are really like.

Nine things I want to do before I die:
9. Cruise on a yacht in some tropical location.
8. Live in France for at least a year.
7. Sky dive.
6. Attempt to learn the violin.
5. Visit all 50 states.
4. Take a helicopter tour over Hawaii (or somewhere just as tropical and nice).
3. Go skiing with my family as much as possible.
2. Get some of my photography published.
1. Always strive to be better.

Eight ways to win my heart:
8. Make me laugh
7. Ask me to dance
6. Jewelry is always good.
5. Show compassion for others.
4. Do little things for me even if it's something I can do for myself.
3. Embrace my unique spirit and crazy moments with a laugh.
2. Kiss me when I want you to.
1. Understand that I am not some else and can only be me.
