You will see from my posts that my hobbies include:
·
My children - one boy, one girl, one mystery on the way (due early
January)
·
Photography – I mostly document my family’s life but enjoy trying
to find more artistic shots of our surroundings as well
·
Running and Biking – I have let these hobbies slide with the later
stages of pregnancy, but I have run in 2 half marathons and hope to train and run
one again in December 2015. The biking
is just for family fun and I don’t plan on any races any time soon.
·
Reading – I have always had a *slight* addiction to reading. As a child, I routinely walked around while
reading. I am proud to say that I never
tripped. I would also read constantly in
the car, even when the light was waning.
The key to reading at night in the car is to hold the book as close to
the window as possible and wait for the next street light to illuminate the
page, allowing the reader to take in 1-2 sentences at a time.
·
Organizing – I was born to organize both time and stuff. You could find me at age 2 sorting and
properly arranging the candy and gum in the checkout section of the grocery
store.
·
Sewing – erm, this is not so much a hobby as it is an
aspiration. I have an open sewing
project that is nearing its second anniversary, and I am DETERMINED to finish
it before I hit the 2 year mark.
Here are some quotes I like:
"the om nom nom phenomenon..."

"Life is a long lesson in humility."
- James M. Barrie
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."
-Douglas Adams
"ethan, it was rude to eat lake michigan" -jessica, directed to one of her students
"honey i'm a prize and you're a catch and we're a perfect match" -nickelcreek, spit on a stranger
"with you here, baby i am strong no sign of weakness. with you gone, baby i am hanging by a thread" - nickelcreek, hanging by a thread
"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
- Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest, Act 1
"when you figure out that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
-when harry met sally
"she's everything i ever wanted and everything i need. i talk about her i go on and on and on. cause she's everything to me."
-brad paisley, she's everything
With a stop light, green means 'go' and yellow means 'slow down'. With a banana, however, it is quite the opposite. Yellow means 'go', green means 'whoa, slow down', and red means 'where the heck did you get that banana?'
- Mitch Hedberg
Jer 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
