I've Been Tagged
OK, here's 6 things you may not know about me:
1. I used to listen and love "top-40" music. (In fact, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey were, sorry to say, my music picks for years). Lately, though, I can't stand "top-40" music. My new favorites are Kenna, Coldplay, Sara Bareilles, and throw in some Michael Buble for fun.
2. I'm #4 of 8 children, and was schooled primarily in music (I play violin 1st, piano 2nd, sing, also dabble with guitar and organ) along with all of my brothers and sisters. I'm looking forward to the time when I can write some original compositions, and sing a bit more with guitar in hand. I want to learn how to play mandolin.
3. I am NOT a very open-minded person, although I'm really working on it. This flaw seeps into various aspects of my life, one of them being the food I'll eat... Well, just last week I tried beets after years and years of bad memories as a child. I actually liked them! Wow, next on my list is seafood.
4. I don't consider myself athletic, although after years and years of running (which I started to impress my then boyfriend, now husband - it worked!), I can't go many days without it. I've run 1 marathon, ridden 2 hundred-mile bike rides, and raced in many triathlons, usually sprint distance, and one olympic length (1 mile swim, 25 mile bike, 10k run). I'm proud of myself for these accomplishments, they haven't come easily.
5. I love to read. Some of my favorites end up being fantasy or historical fiction.
6. I am so fortunate (this you may already know!)...with a wonderful husband (talented and amazing!), and beautiful children, and a life of adventure, I wouldn't have it any other way!!
Now I tag Anne, Bonnie, & Kornelia
