Awright, awright, awwwwright.....I'll write sumpthin'!

You see, I started this blog in November 2010....and I haven't posted a single thing since my first post. I've got some catching up to do.

Therefore, here are the Top 20 quirky little factoids about me, not known to just ANYbody, mind you, until now, and in no particular order:

1. I am addicted to carbonated beverages, i.e. Dr. Pepper. If I could find a cure for the addiction I'd be rich....AND thinner!
2. I love herbs and can't wait to hit the herb festivals every spring.
3. I wish I was better with time management.
4. I am a chronic procrastinator...big time! See #3.
5. I absolutely love Asian Pear Mojitos from P.F. Changs.
6. I have become a coffee connoisseur, which is ironic since I used to scoff at my mom for her seemingly innate ability to distinguish the the differences in different brands of coffee and for saying that coffee tastes better from a real cup than from a disposable cup. She was right, of course.
7. I just realized that 3 of my top 6 factoids are about intake of fluids. I like Black Cherry Berry tea from Celestial Seasonings too. So smooth, so refreshing, so slightly fruity. Ahem, I digress. (okay, 4 of 7 factoids now)
8. I have many hobbies, too many actually, which include making jewelry, stained glass, oil painting, sewing, gardening, decopauge, and soon I want to acquire more Photoshop skills for digital collage art. I need to find some time for that. See #3.
9. My nickname is Digger. A long story which I will explain later in a separate blog. For the record, it has nothing to do with my nose or other body parts.
10. I wish I were more organized. See #4.
11. Hopes to someday be able to make a living doing something creative, rather than them all just being hobbies. Or by maybe BLOGGING about all my hobbies, amongst other quirky things.
12. Biggest peeve right now is people texting and driving. Why? Why in the world is there a need to text ANYONE while driving. What is so darn important to risk everyone's lives? Pay attention to the road people! I bet you'd quit if you had to pay for damages from an accident you caused....not that lives aren't important enough, but people usually listen better when their cash is involved.
13. Favorite quote from a movie: "Come on Randy....show mommy how the little piggies eat" - A Christmas Story
14. I'm afflicted with earworms - I know, it sounds like a really bad disease, but it just means I get songs stuck in my head very easily, worming their way to my brain and leaving not much else to function up there.
15. I'm a giggler. That's right, laughing most all the time. Even when I'm sad, it happens. Wait til you see the baby photo.
16. Favorite saying: "It is what it is." It says it all I think.
17. I'm a little bit impatient and as my dad recently said "a little quick to temper". Me? Noooo. Yes, my whole family is laughing at this.
18. I'm just a tad bit addicted to Facebook...but, afterall, it's where I keep most of my friends.
19. I never feel bored. Good grief, Charlie Brown, how CAN I be, did you read about all my hobbies? See #8.
20. I want to live in the Colorado/New Mexico foothills someday, preferably before retirement age. I guess I better get in gear on that one. Where has all the time gone???

Here I am....The Giggler
