May 2012

Who the heck am I?  Well, aside from being Remy's mom and Jamie's wife, I'm also a pattern designer, a Red Sox fan, companion to three miniature dachshunds, and one heck of a crafty gal.  I love to sew, cook, travel, read, mod podge etc.  The list goes on and on, which is exactly how I am going to keep you up-to-date and in-the-know of who I am...A LIST!!!  So, just who am I?  Well, here you go...


This Is Who I Am, In No Particular Order
-You are reading this TYPED blog from someone who types with her two pointer fingers and has to look at the keyboard to prevent errors.  Yep, it's true.  I cannot type.
-When I put my socks and shoes on, I always start with the left foot: sock and shoe, then right foot: sock and shoe.
-I suffer mildly from Scoleciphiobia which is a fear of worms.  I realize this is completely bonkers but I can't help it.  They really, really, really freak me out.  
-I love to garden but the whole Worm-Phobe thing tends to be a problem.  I spend about 15-20 minutes hyperventilating while simultaneously giving myself an anti-worm pep talk before even putting on my gardening gloves, which are pink, by the way.
-I LOVE PINK.
-But not so much so that everything I have is pink.  I'm the lucky mom of a pink-loving little girl, so that satisfies my need to drench everything in that color.
-I hate the term "LOL" 
-Embarassing but true: I was once in a scholarship pageant.  I placed third.  I was twenty-one.
-I can burp the alphabet.
-I have nine sewing machines.
-I have taken over 25,000 40,000 pictures of my child and she's not even three four yet!
-I LOVE to pack for vacation so much so that my husband hasn't packed his own bags in almost ten years.
-My husband and I are in the middle of restoring a 1978 Volkswagen Transporter van.
-We named our daughter after Jerry Remy 
-If she had been a boy, we would have named him Boston.
-I love ice cream.
-If there was such a thing as reincarnation, and I died today, I would come back as a party planner in my next life.
-My family roots are in Kentucky and my several times great Uncle John Shell was the world's oldest man.
