Seven Things About Me

1. I wish I could walk into a dance studio and float along the room like I used to. I long to return to those days of toe shoes and jazz hands, but I also fear to try it out again as I know things of agility and flexibility are not the same like they used to be.

2. I don't crave cigarettes anymore, when I see someone smoking I don't get those "oh, wait for me, I'll go have one with you." But I am still afraid of falling off the wagon.

3. I love going on eBay and searching for the toys from my past. When I find them (ie: The barbie Ice Cream shoppe) I can stare at the pictures and it actually brings me to that spot in my childhood, and I can envision the very smells of the items, and where I loved playing with them-The Fisher Price 1976 Register is a good one too!)

4. I would like to adopt a girl someday..But a girl older than an infant, maybe someone age 4, but I fear it disrupting what I've already been blessed with, and what about all the change for this child I want to help and give her a loving family. My top choice location for adoption? Russia

5. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life that would be a tough thing to pick out, numero uno is corn, but the kind we delve into at a pumpkin patch farm up in Barrington, IL. Pulled right out of their skinnies from the corn field behind the farm, roasted with black ashes floating up above you in the sky, pulled out hot, and dipped in this large vat of delicious melted dripping salty butter...That and Lobster but lobster that is soaked in the cup of the garlic butter too....maybe my love is with butter, eh?

6. When I am having a bad day with my boys, I begin this fantasy dream in my head-my fantasy on the BMD's(BAD MOOD DAYS) is this: Me on a plane going somewhere alone, without anyone else, arriving in Costa Rica, taken first by a small plane, and then a little boat to a hidden spot that is situated in a town known for not having electricity. I'd bring a bathing suit, a few books, my notebook, and a pen, a camera, and two outfits. I'd zip through the lush tropical gardens on the running wire, I'd dive off the cliffs into the waterfalls, I'd feed the little monkeys that walk up to you, and run from the crocs or alligators..I've seen pictures of this location, and long to go... **Pics above are from this dream destination of mine, compliments of my family that just returned from there**

7. When I am on the computer I have this uncanny knack to be able to tune out everything else around me, so until my Costa Rica visit, this is my version of a vacation, my outlet. Bigdogg can never understand how I'm able to not be affected by the whines around me, as I sit and type away, my fingers are my destination.

Random:

• I am changing my hair color again, at the end of February you'll see me with blond highlights, I am a stylist's dream guest!

• I love managing our finances because of the working system I implemented.

• I love rearranging, because I love looking at things with different perspectives and not keeping everything the same.

• I want to take the boys skiing in Colorado with Bigdogg, but they're too young. We'd be outnumbered, and we don't believe in bringing along "help" to stick our kids off in a room while we enjoy yourselves. It seems selfish to us. Our children will only be young once.We're very hands on parents as you can tell.

• I long to see my extended family members at peace with one another, and I doubt it will ever be. The silly hurts and nonacceptance of difference has gone on too long, but with my siblings and I, and our generation cousins, we will change that with the silly drama's ending.

• I want to be a foster parent, but not for the money, but because I have this insane ache to help people.

• Even though I am not always good at telling people no, I truly have improved on that, and the funny part is, when I do stick up for me, people aren't used to it, and they tell me I'm overreacting. I guess I need to improve on how I communicate my standing up for too. Life, ever improving our own self. Learning from those that mean a great deal to us when they don't even realize that they're teaching.

• I am getting closer to my dream of 08, and that is to finish the story that I have secretly been writing-a children's story, and I don't want the fame, more the accomplishment of seeing it in print, on sale at a Borders, or on Amazon.com.

• I want to open up a child friendly -sectional seating- family healthy restaurant. Each table has their own area, with a form of plexi-glass viewing, so parents can take their children out, not spend money on crap food because face it, most kid friendly places are filled with grease. The healthy places, the places that are a good place to eat are not suitable for children, and if you do bring them, you get the frowning looks from other patrons. I place where health and family dining is the number one importance, a child friendly organic section, and for those children with certain food allergies. At each spot, where the family sit to dine, the children will dine next to them, on kid friendly tables and fun colored veggie or fruit designed chairs. It's okay for the children to get up from their restaurant table, as each booth is private, although while you can see every patron, the noise level is down due to the plexi-type two way viewing dividers. Plus each child will have little things in their dining nooks, to appease them with. Such as books, puzzles, creative wall feelie things. Parents can enjoy a great meal, in a nice place, but not worry about "how they're kids will be" because of the niceness of the place. Nothing Chucky Cheese about this place! A educational, healthy, clean, kid friendly place that doesn't kill the parents stimulation level with the intensity of those crazy video games. Each table will have an in wall jute box of sorts, only the selections of music are Mozart(for example), classical, opera, smooth jazz- relaxing kid friendly music. Each area will have an option that when their children are done eating, in walks a story teller to sit with your children to read them fun stories while you finish your meal, or perhaps work a puzzle...a push of the button, and never a problem. A place that isn't too frenetic that caters to the old generation and new.

Those are the things that are about me, things that I think about, things that I dream...
