Heather from Ramblings of the Shy & Insecure, tagged me to write 6 random things about myself. Since I am in need of easy blog material and she is an 4-H buddy from back in the day, I have to comply. I have been learning so much about her, like the fact that she says she is shy, which is not how I would have described her growing up. It just goes to show how our perceptions about ourselves and others are not always reality.
1. Speaking of random perceptions of ourselves... I constantly worry about being too weird, except when I don't care how weird I am, and then I am obnoxious. I know someone else who does this and it annoys me about them at times, which is surprising, one would think I would be more sympathetic.
2. Today as we visited farms, there were at least two places we went that I knew the farmers kids growing up, I really wanted to ask about them but worried because in both cases I have heard they are pretty screwed up on drugs. I wonder what is more impolite, to act like I don't care, or be respectful and not bring up a possibly bad subject. Luckily I didn't actually see either farmer so it was a moot point today.
3. I have found out how out of shape I am the last two days. Turns out getting on my hands and knees digging around for bugs uses muscles that have lain dormant for far too long, I am really sore right now. Wii Fit should add a bug scouting workout section.
4. Blogging turned out to be beneficial to me last week. I subbed in a computer class at the junior high and the kids read a chapter of their manual on the computer and then had to practice html. They subject was numbered lists, bulleted lists and nested lists. While I didn't know how to do what they needed to do prior to the lesson, when they told me they were complete I was able to read their html script and see if they did it with html or by simply typing. The look of shock when I asked to see their code was great! They thought they were getting away with something, and I was able to help them do it right.
5. I am really missing my dishwasher lately, even though it has been nearly two years without it. I have one, but no room to put it in. Have I ever mention how much I bite at dishwashing, I still have to rewash things all the time. Aren't you looking forward to dinner at my house now?
6. Some errant blog I read for artsy crafty inspiration posted a link to this recipe that has me salivating. Luckily I am low on eggs or I might just try this from scratch. I have to remember I am trying to loose weight not apply it directly to my hips..... Anyone want to invite me over? I'll bring it, because if I am sharing then it is okay, right? And that leads me to....

I think that you are building muscle and would personally love to see a Wii Fit bug-scouting workout!
I know what you mean about bringing up the subject of kids when you know something unpleasant has happened ... sometimes it's hard to know the right thing to do: be polite and ask about the kids, or be polite and avoid the subject?
#1. perception is not always reality
#2. I'm terrible at tact as I always ask what inevitably turn out to be inappropriate questions, apparently
#5. I have a dishwasher but I've never switched it on as I'm accustomed to hand-washing
Our dishwasher door is locked in place. I can't get it open. The dishwasher runs, but we can't open the door. Crazy.
I called the repair company, they said it would be two weeks before they could get to it. Yikes.
The woman I talked to on the phone said try flipper the breaker on the dishwasher, sometimes that resets the door latch.
It didn't work. I also did not make the appointment with her, thinking the breaker thing might work.
So now it's been about three weeks since the problem started. I still haven't called the repair place back to make an appointment.
All this to tell you I am doing the dishes by hand...it's not as bad as I thot.
But I do need to get it repaired.
I love my dishwasher, as well as my cook..both the same guy! Hee hee!
@Becca, not fair! Unless he gives lessons....
My hubby could live without the dishwasher, but I coudl not--I am not a domestic goddess despite my good intentions.
Sometimes I do miss working at Pier 1. It was like eight hours of pushing, lifting, moving, crouching and tons of walking. I really did lose 30 pounds in three months by just working there and not changing a thing. *sigh* Now I sit on my but at a computer.
When I move in with David I will no longer have a dishwasher. That's the only part of my move I'm not looking forward to.
I was subbing in a junior-high science class. It was a lesson on genetics. Genetics is one of the FEW areas of science that I really was able to understand and enjoy when I was in school, so they were surprised when I was able to explain "dominance" and "recessive" and accurately fill in a punnett square!
We should collaborate on a book about being a substitute teacher!
