5 Random Things

Read about this idea to do a mini album about yourself. Thought it was cool. Every month record 5 random things about yourself and take a photo. Compile into a book that will tell a lot about yourself. Since I have never actually done pages about myself, I thought this might be kind of fun and something that would be relatively easy to complete. So here is my random list for August 2005:
1. I love ice cream. I eat it all year round. Love Dryers Mouse Tracks, Vanilla Bean with chocolate syrup. I am really kind of a plain Jane, I don't enjoy lots of stuff (nuts, marshmellows, fruit chunks, etc.) in my ice cream. My all time favorite is Pralines and Cream from Baskin Robbins. Dad used to always have that when I was a kid and I would sneak bites of his stash in the freezer. So thanks to Dad that tops my list.
2. I enjoy quiet time in the evening...when all the kids have gone to bed and it is "me time" I don't have to get up and do something or take care of this or make sure he's not getting into that. No pressure, no stress, just relaxing time! It always seems to go by too quickly.
3. When there is an accident or one of the children are injured, I am the calm parent. The one that doesn't freak out or say. "Oh my gosh! There's blood! That looks so bad!" (Steve is getting better about this) I'm sure that I have acquired this trait from my Mom. She is the calm in every situation! Love her
4. I do not really enjoy shopping. I like getting new things, but the actual act of shopping I don't particularly care for. It so much hassle. The walking and searching and lugging kids (sometimes), does not sound like a good time.
5. I love my digital camera. I take it everywhere and take way too many pictures of everything! It makes me smile when I get a good shot, with good lighting, and save a memory. That is really my most favorite thing. I hope to someday find enough time to take a photography class and learn more and take better photos.
