there you go...

well i am back! yeah! i will save my trip stories and pics for when i can get them all down! let's just say that my daughter is a college graduate and as of today has a full time job with benefits!!! woo hoo such a relief for her because good paying jobs with benefits are hard to come by!

but--kerry asked if i had looked at my blog because i was tagged by one of my favorite, talented uber-scrappers karla.

so the rules are 7 random facts about myself then tag 7 other people. OK--do i know 7 other people? yeah--that's a tough one. so here goes.

ONE: I love peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwiches. now it might sound gross but i absolutely love them and when nothing else sounds good that will do the trick.

TWO: I have to have a blanket on me when i sleep. winter, summer--it doesn't matter--i cannot sleep uncovered!

THREE: I was approached by McDonalds to do a commercial for them when i was in Kindergarten. went out to LA with my parents and everything. My parents said no--and there went a lifetime of free mcdonald’s coke! :(

FOUR: I wanted to be a writer when i grew up. Sadly i found out that i am a much better reader than I am a writer. but i can write a mean english term paper!

FIVE: I love everything to do with astronomy—I love full moons and eclipses and stars and stargazing, etc.

SIX: I don't think of myself as crafty. merely as someone who can learn how to do crafts. i don't think it is innate in myself. rather that i can study something to death and learn how to do it.

SEVEN: I wish i was still in college. I could see myself as a life time college student. one that has like a billion credits and no degree! i love learning and reading and i can research a subject to death. in fact if i get hooked on something i can be a little OCD. i find out everything i could ever want to know about my obsession at the time.

OK--more pics and stories to come later. when i catch up on laundry and kids and husband and more. although the laundry was done and house clean and dinner fixed when i got back! thanks, honey.

ok--now i am tagging care bear, shanna, Christine, maddy, beth, michelle and Nicole.


i promise pictures (i took 250!) and stories after--suffice it to say i had the best time with my daughter...L
