Welcome! If you’re anything like me, you’re insatiably curious about people. So here are a few bits to acquaint you with the person behind the words…
I like:
Cheese
Finding a great bargain
Hearing Henry say “Besh-oo Mama” after I sneeze
Colors; especially green, white, and the right shade of blue
Interesting and nice people
Peanut butter toast for breakfast
Observing people in their daily life
The Northwest
Vanilla soft-serve dipped in chocolate (from DQ)
Black and white photographs
E.mail
My king-sized bed
The song “These are Days” (10,000 Maniacs)
Utah mountains
The Texas sky
People I think are neat:
My husband
Kevin Henkes
Henry
Johnnie Boden
O’Henry
Alison Krauss
Jack Johnson
Winston Churchill
Sullivan Ballou (Google his love letter to Sarah and read it.)
Stevie Nicks
Johnny and June Carter Cash
The Transcendentalist writers (Thoreau, Emerson…)
I can’t choose favorite movies or books. I like too many and my preferences change with my mood.
Inspiration comes:
On the treadmill
Late at night
Surprisingly:
I like to clean
I don’t like fried chicken
and I hang my clothes to dry.
I hate it when:
I leave wet, clean clothes in the washer all night
I don’t have internet access
There are crumbs on the kitchen floor that stick to the bottom of my feet.
I really hate it when:
I try to sweep those crumbs into the dustpan…and no matter how gently and carefully I coax them in, I can never get the last few crumbs up into the dustpan. Mr. N usually does the sweeping at our house. He’s much nimbler with the dustpan.
Guilty Pleasures:
Cheetos
Cherry 7-up
24 (the TV series)
This is my blog/website. The thought of sharing my musings and meditations with the cyber world is at once overwhelming and positively thrilling.
