OK, I've looked at a couple people's blogs lately that have done this whole 15 day thing. That would definitely be too much effort BUT I really have enjoyed reading there 1st days assignment of 15 random things about themselves. Even though writing 15 things about myself seems a little narcissistic, here she be:
1. I've visited every province except for Manitoba. Newfoundland was AMAZING and I would love to go back again someday. No Territories.... yet.
2. I played the Tuba in high school band and loved it. It was an over sized one and I had to set it on a piano bench beside me and sit on a phone book to reach the mouth piece. We marched as a band in our local town's parade and I had to march with a sousaphone. Friends of mine that weren't in band would follow me along the parade route and try to throw things inside the horn. (I prayed for rain every year).
3. One of my favourite things to do is swim, even though I'm not very good at it. There is nothing better to me than diving into a lake on a hot summers day. I made Mike take and adult swimming class with me last year (before we had Carter) and it was good times.
4. My sister and I are are really one mind split into two different bodies. Our sense of humour is pretty much exactly the same and I love it because she always laughs at my jokes (even if no one else does!)
5. I've never lived outside of Alberta. I feel like I could live anywhere for a while ... other than Ontario.
6. I'm a total rule follower, Mike isn't at all, sometimes this results in conflict.
7. When I was little I wanted to be a park ranger when I grew up, maybe that's just because I grew up on the bald prairie.
8. I absolutely love the bald prairie.
9. On my 11th birthday, my sister and two cousins and I were detained by mall security for supposedly trying to steal a bra (I don't think I even wore one yet). We all balled like babies while he interrogated us, other than my sister who yelled at him for being ridiculous. Mall security guards make me a little nervous to this day.
10. If I had to eat one food group for the rest of my life it would be dairy. Cheese and ice cream are probably my two favourite foods in the world (but not together).
11. I love going to movies, or just even watching them at home. BUT only if they have a happy ending. I get mad at Mike if he makes me go to a show or rents a movie that doesn't end happily.
12. I've been a Type 1 diabetic since I was 9 years old and have worn a diabetic pump for just over 3 years. I usually just stick it in my pocket but on Sunday when I wear a dress or skirt I have to strap it around my thigh like you would a gun. It's fallen out a couple of times which is usually quite awkward and little bit embarrassing.
13. If I won the lottery (which likely won't happen as I don't buy tickets), I would use the money to travel the world and buy a cabin on Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho.
14. I've served in the primary of our church for 4 out of the 5 years that Mike and I have been married. I LOVE the primary, I find it much more entertaining than Sunday school.
15. I make really good chocolate chip cookies!
Wow, that took a lot longer than I thought it would. I probably wouldn't post this except for the fact that I don't want that last hour to be a complete waste. Oh and here's a picture because what is a post without one. Isn't he too cute for words!?
