Front Porch Party

Bre at All Along Life's Path is doing a 'Get to know you' type thing. It's a little 'front porch party'. Everyone is supposed to add ten things about themselves. I decided to give it a try to, let me know in the comments if you do it too, I 'd love to read your 10!

1. I love to sleep in... because I'm a night owl!

2. I grew up in a VERY small country town in Colorado, but since then I have visited and lived in so many places and cities. Yet, I still feel like that small town country girl inside :)

3. I am very focused on my kids during this phase of life, but I do look forward to the time when they grow up...

4. I love rocks and fossils! I am a geologist, after all :)

5. I absolutely detest doing dishes. I will do almost anything to delay having to do the dishes...

6. I am a "shoe person" who loves shoes, but am most comfortable being barefoot- go figure!

7. I'm really not much of a TV or movie watcher. I would rather make something - with fabric, yarn or paper :)

8. My favorite scent is pine trees. It reminds me of camping and fishing trips in Colorado and Wyoming when I was a young girl.

9. If someone had told me earlier where/who I would be today, I would have laughed hysterically. But I am pleased with the journey.

10. Currently, I am addicted to Facebook and catching up with old friends!

    Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. One more person discovered! It was good timing to read your blog. I feel quite nosy really! I will try and fit one of these reveals in soon I think. So little time these days. I really don't like my life to be like this. I love time at home to do what I like with my girls or doing my own thing.

    Nice to meet you!

    I can really relate to #9. In fact, Hubby & I were just talking about how much has changed from where we thought we'd be right now to where we ended up.

    I love the smell of pine trees too especially when it filled the house at Christmas. I miss that smell since we went to the artificial trees.

    Enjoy your SITS day!

    Nice post. Happy SITS! Yup I love shoes and I'm a night owl too. But I absolutely love tv/film...working on becoming a tv writer in fact.

    Really pretty site. Glad I stopped by.

    I love doing dishes. And like #9...I probably wouldn't have said that 20 years ago.
    There's just something meditative about it all...plus I have a great view out the window above the kitchen sink:)

    I can totally relate to being a country girl inside. I live a HUGE metroplex, but I still wave, smile and hold doors open.

    I would still strike up conversations, if I wasn't afraid of getting creamed.

    Funny about the shoes!!

    My grandma lived in Pueblo, we used to go Bishop's Castle often.

    I love the smell of the trees and the beauty of the mountains.

    Addicted to Facebook too!

    I loved the name of this writing activity. I am also a night owl! I have no interest in being up in the morning and afternoon is my favorite part of the day. But all that goes away when you have kids. Now my afernoons have turned into mornings and I have had to learn to love coffee. *sigh* It's so adultish.
    Stopping by from SITS to say congrats on being the Featured Blogger!

    I love this "get to know you feature". It sounds like you have a lot in common with many of the SITstas ~ myself included. Sleeping in? Yes! Every chance I get (which is rare these days with two lil' munchkins). The smell of pine, divine! Cheers! Jenn

    Happy SITS day!

    I love the smell of pine, too. But, it has to be the real thing. Those imitations just never quite do it justice.

    This is really a great post. And I love your attitude about #9. I think I would have stared at someone oddly had they told me I'd be where I am today too. And the coolest part is I still don't know where I'll end up.

    Loving your blog.

    I'm a night owl too...too bad that doesn't work out so well with kids aged 3 and 1. They don't seem to care that I was up in the wee hours. I'm trying hard to be a morning person for the time being.

    Popping in from SITS! Happy day in the spotlight!

    I thought I was the only one who LOVED shoes so very much - but prefers to be barefoot.

    I think it's because I am getting older and my feet can't keep up with me in heels!
