I received a nice little surprise this week from an IRL friend who is also a blogger. . . . she sent me an award:
Thank you so much Sheri – it was a sweet thing to do
.
Now I’m supposed to tell you seven things about myself (and I will try to make them things not previously revealed on question blog hops):
- I love Drama. I used to love being in plays as a child/teen in school and church. As a teacher, I loved putting on productions and sponsored the Drama Club for a number of years during my teaching career back in Canada.
- During the summer after high school graduation, I went on a 6-week French immersion program in Quebec City. It was the first time I had flown or had been away from home for any length of time.
- My digital love is video editing . . . I love making movies out of our recorded home videos and photos. Right now I am in the market for a new editing program since we have an updated computer – my old program is too full of flaws . . .
- I have a hard time throwing things away/de-junking. My house (cupboards and drawers, mostly) is full of things that I don’t use/need/want but can’t bear to throw away simply because they were gifts. There’s too much sentiment attached to the items.
- I hate the sound of people eating, and if I’m already feeling a little irritated, the problem is increased exponentially. I know this is my issue – not those who are eating
. - I don’t like gossip. Especially in a small community where just about anything is fodder for people to talk about
. - My favourite drink (besides a grande sugar free hazelnut extra hot latte from Starbuck’s, which I can’t get here), is Pepsi Max (Europe’s diet Pepsi) . . . thus, our dogs’ names:
Pepsi Max
And now I am supposed to pass it on, so here it goes to (in no particular order):
Stacy at Adventures with Aidan
Sally at 4 boys + 1 Princess = Crazy Life
Tezzie at Not Always Picture Perfect
Amy at To Russia – With Love
Phyllis at The Beadle’s New Russian Adventure
Some are new friends and some are old. Please stop by and have a visit! Tell ‘em I said, “Hi!”
Barb
6 friends had something to say . . .:
Aw...thanks, my friend! I'll have to give it a 'thunk' and pass it on. And, how come I didn't know that was how Pepsi and Max got their names?...I feel like I should have known that, somehow (too clued out, I guess!)
I LOVE the name Pepsi for your furry friend.That is an awesome pet name! I am totally like you regarding gossip. I totally stay clear and free of that stuff since life has so many more important and more uplifting things to keep our minds occupied.
Thank you for your comment and award! : ) I will try to get it posted sometime soon (since I seem to be having problems posting in a timely fashion anymore).
Things have been quite rough here lately. I may be posting a little about it soon.
I think I would love to do the Bible study with you again. I have been wanting to do it again and just have not started. Email me about the details.
AND, I always wondered why you named your dog Pepsi!
Hi girly!
Hey my favourite drink is also PEPSI (diet or max) funny things we learn about each other. So promise me that when you are in Canada again that you and I will have a Diet Pepsi Date. Love ya Barb. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. They mean the world to me.
Love ya...your canadian friends always...
It looks like we have several things in common! I like my coffee extra hot too.
And eating sounds drive me insane. It's actually quite irrational, and it is only getting worse as I get older. I will tell my kids, you can't sit by me and eat like that.
So if we ever meet one day, we will sit, and very quitely sip our really hot coffee!
