Five Fact Friday (#5)

It’s the mom here. Aimee has encouraged me to write a 5 Fact Friday post but I have put it off until now.  This is the very first and hopefully not the last.  I just had a bit of a hard time thinking of what could be of interest about me.  Not that I am boring – but maybe you will think I am after this post.   I do have a pretty mild life.

So here we go:

Fact #1:  I dare say my best physical feature is my crowning glory, otherwise known as my hair.  If there is something that catches a person eye about me that would be my hair.  Complete strangers will tell me they really like my hair, there was this gentleman that I would pass on my morning walks and he started to call me “bh” for beautiful hair.  Ha ha – every time we passed.  It can be wild and crazy and sometimes it can be well behaved.

(this happens to be my passport picture – the best one I have ever had taken)

I keep it medium length now but the first time it was ever cut was when I was 8 and it was down to my waist.  And I used to be a blonde – naturally – it started to change color around age 6 and just got darker and darker.  When it was long it was quite straight while I am living in California (with the humidity) it is curly – those are all natural.

Fact #2:  I am crazy about notebooks and pens.  A couple of weeks ago when one of the teachers in my church brought new pens and notebooks for the girls.  I was so silly because I just kept saying “those pens are awesome”, “where did you get these pens”, “I have to go tomorrow”.  Which I promptly did, I picked up 2 cute new little notebooks and a set of colored pens – COLORED PENS – they write in colored ink, and I think it is so COOL!

Fact #3:  I have claimed one of my family’s old antiques – a wooden rocking horse with its original paint.  I don’t know how old the rocking horse is.  I do know that I rode it when I was a little girl and my siblings all claim to have ridden it since they were young.  So maybe its not antique, but as far as I am concerned it belongs to me.  Craig fixed it up a little so the springs are new and it is ready for rides.

Fact #4: I only watch one TV show on a regular basis and that is So You Think You Can Dance.  Ten years ago when SYTYCD first premiered Aimee and I enjoyed watching it every week together.  You might say it was our special time together.  I have continued to watch it every summer and look forward to the new season.  But you want to know something really crazy, Craig and I don’t have/receive TV, not any kind – no cable, no satellite, no Netflix.  That brings a small challenge to watching SYTYCD, I can only watch it on Hulu, I don’t even have Hulu Plus, which means I see the shows 30 days after it first airs. I am only up to the top 14, so don’t any of you spoil the ending because I have quite a ways to go.

Fact #5: My favorite cookie is a good oatmeal raisin cookie.  I love them soft and cinnamony. I love the raisins, the oatmeal.  I will even claim it is healthy to eat perhaps even for breakfast.

So there you have it, my first 5 fact Friday.  What did you think?  What are some facts you would like to know about me for next time? Until then…..
