randomness x 25...give or take a few

this weekend on Facebook i was tagged with a questionnaire...25 random facts about myself. you know the drill, 25 facts that others may not know about you and then you tag 25 people who are to do the same. as silly as it sounds, it is actually interesting. i found out some super things about my friends. i may have let my nerdom out as well. since the secret is out, i might as well share it with all of you. so here i am in 25 random facts...

i am a shy, quiet girl that sometimes finds herself in a loud mouth's body.

i have learned to live Atticus Finch's life lesson...walk around in another person's skin for a while and do not judge another.

i have a giver's heart.

taking photographs makes me smile.

i am at home when i am in the kitchen...especially if i am feeding my friends and family.

i keep a book in my purse at all times.

i dream of living in Vermont on a farm where i will make my own cheese.

i know the power of listening to the Holy Spirit and try to let it lead my life.

i love blogging.

i want to be a librarian someday.

i love LOVE watching black and white movies.

i am a complete nerd but have learned to embrace it.

when i was 12 years old my dad bought me Emily Post's Etiquette and i still use it today. i think good manners are one of  the most important traits we can have.....see, refer to #12

i would rather shop for groceries than go to the mall. i have even gone to Houston to shop at Whole Foods and didn't step foot in the Galleria (which would probably make my dad faint).

i adore the aroma of coffee brewing but cannot stand the taste.

i love the written word...to read it and to write it...letters and cards.
