I was tagged by my friend Lisa and since I have nothing to blog about I thought I would do this one.
7 random things about me
1. I absolutely love to read. I freak out if I am almost done with a book and don't have at least 2 back ups to choose from as soon as I am finished with the one I am reading. I have way too many books on my "to read" list right now, it almost makes me depressed.
2. My hair is wavy/curly but I straighten it every day even if I am just going to throw it up into a ponytail. Every once in a while James will tell me to "treat" myself and don't straighten it so usually put in a ponytail and let it do it's curly q thing.
3. I had my first cavities last month. It makes me sad because I feel like my teeth aren't "natural" anymore.
4. Cords make me angry. I hate our living room because there are a million cords behind the tv that I can't get to look neat. One day I will find the perfect thing that will hide all cords in my house.
5. I am always shopping online mostly on Amazon. I think I find a lot more awesome deals online than in stores.
6. I love the Christmas season, but not Christmas day (because then it's all over). I love to decorate my house for Christmas.
7. I have a potpourri tart burning all the time. I try to coordinate the smell with the season or with something I am going to bake and want my house to smell more like that. I have a kitchen drawer full of tarts. This is all thanks to my Mom and her habit of burning tarts too.

7 Things I Can Do...
1. Bake. I love to have people over so I can try out new recipes. James won't try anything new so I am stuck eating it all (oh darn) if I don't share it with others. I just tried out a new peanut butter chocolate brownie thing last weekend that I think is soooo yummy.

2. Decorate cakes. I haven't actually done a cake in almost 2 years. I have turned my attention over to decorating cupcakes instead, but I still spend lots of my free time thinking of different ways to decorate a cake.
3. Shop without spending too much. I have been good about shopping only when I know I have money to spend. I think I spend more money when I go shopping with James because he always tells me to just buy it or takes it out of my hands and pays for it before I can talk myself out of it.
4. Clean. Since I only work a very few hours a day, I have plenty of time to clean. I have made it a habit of picking up the house every morning before I go to work.
5. Do just about anything with the computer. I have had many boring hours doing nothing at previous jobs so I have played around with lots of different computer programs.
6. Do neat things to pictures in photoshop. I watch a photoshop tricks podcast on my laptop while working along with it on my mac. I have learned so many really cool things to do with pictures.
7. I like to think I can take pictures, but I am not so sure lately. I was getting frustrated that my pictures weren't turning out the way my classes said they should. I sat down and experimented with all the controls on my camera and realized that the dumb thing is broken or something and does nothing when I change the aperture and shutter speed. So I am in the market for a new one.
7 Things I Cannot Do...
1. Whistle. I have tried constantly for 15 years. I don't know if I will ever be able to do it.
2. Talk in front of a group of people. I am way too shy for this. I haven't earned a degree yet because I have to take a speech class and I can't do it.
3. Eat meat. I think I am technically a vegetarian although it's not for any animal rights reason. I just can't stand the taste of meat, especially red meat.
4. Swallow pills. About 12 years ago, I was taking an Excedrin to get rid of a migraine on the way to school and the pill got stuck. Luckily, we were not too far from the hospital so my mom took me there. 8 hours later, I went in to have the pill surgically removed. At that point it had burnt a hole in my esophagus. I have a flap of scar tissue that causes everything to get stuck. I eat really slow because I have to chew everything into little pieces (another reason why I hate meat- it takes to long to chew). A few years ago, I tried to swallow half of a tiny pill and it got stuck. Fortunately, my mother-in-law was there to do the Heimlich on me.
5. My hair in different ways. I have 3 ways I style my hair and that's it because I don't know what to do with it.
6. Figure out how to organize my kitchen so there's enough room for my ever growing food storage supply.
7. Ride roller coasters or go on anything that is high up.
