Randomnocities (Is that a real word???)

This week has been somewhat of a struggle to come up with a topic near and dear to my heart (no pun intended) that isn't directly related to my heart, so I've decided to let you into my life on a more personal basis by sharing some random facts about moi...







I love music of all types, especially if it has a great beat and tight harmonies.





I love, love, love to travel... anywhere.





I played the violin in the orchestra from the age of 8 through my Senior year in HS and will occasionally still get it out and play a little Mozart from time to time.





I love photography, but am growing to love Graphic Design more and more each day.





My favorite time of day is from 8:30 - 9:00 every morning. After 9 a.m., forget it!





Since I quit smoking, I can now get ready for the day in an hour-and-a half, instead of nearly two-and-a-half hours. And yes, the older I get, the longer it takes!





If I don't make my bed every day, I'm crabby.





Practical jokes are a must in my life.





I love to laugh, especially at the most inopportune times and for no particular reason. Joy at it's finest!





I'd love to sing backup for my daughter someday.





I love those Vanilla Bean Fraps... thanks, Syd!





I love getting mani/pedi's on a regular basis, while listening to my ipod and turning the massage chair on high.





My dream job is to be one of the Presidential Photographers.





I would so love to learn to play the drums.





I'm addicted to 'House' and not ashamed to admit it.





My favorite time of year is Fall when the air begins to get crisp and the leaves begin to change color.





I want to write a book.





I have issues with people who are controlling, probably because I have control issues of my own.





A trip to Wal Mart will put me on edge.





Each time I found out I was going to have a baby, I prayed for identical twins.





My creative goal is to produce, direct, photograph and edit short films with a positive message.





I can't drink regular juice without liquid Potassium in it. (It's complicated.)





When I was 8 years old, my grandmother taught me to sew and I still love it to this day.





I love to throw parties and am in the planning stages of one right now.





Love to be around happy, positive, encouraging people and I pray that others see me that way.





I love eyelash extensions.





I get crabby when I sweat after getting my hair and makeup done.





We raise cattle for beef, but I don't eat meat very often at all.





Am dealing with Anemia... see above.





My weaknesses are shoes, purses and jewelry.





My favorite day of the week is Sunday... family day in our house!





I love to be spontaneous, although sometimes it can get me into trouble.





I love it when a 'Dance Party' breaks out and the bubble machine is filling my house with bubbles while the grandbabies are here!





Love hearing my dad speak his native language of Cherokee and wish he'd taught his children more appropriate phrases when we were little!





Love it when I finish my husband's sentences and it freaks him out. I've got him wondering if I really can read his mind!





I love a good game of Dominoes.





I love having lunch or dinner out with friends.





Am extremely intimidated by the new Photoshop program I just installed.





Sang the 'Love Boat' theme, uninhibited, while under the influence in the recovery room after bypass surgery.





Love to go out in the boat with my husband. (This one is not relative to the 'Love Boat' theme mentioned above.)




I now shoot with a Canon and am not ashamed to admit it!





Would love to get a Fainting Goat just for entertainment purposes.





My favorite RHW is Lisa of Beverly Hills. She tells it like it is and doesn't give a 'rodent's rectum' (her words) what anyone thinks!





And I could go on and on...





Sometimes, I'm so random, I surprise even myself but you have to know that I've come a long way from where I used to be and I'm good with that. This has been fun and has had something of a freeing effect. I highly recommend it! If you do decide to share some randomness about yourself, please let me know. I'll be the first to read it!

The photo above is just a random, precious

little face that kept peeking over the dividing

wall during lunch with one of my girls and

I just couldn't help capturing this image!

Oh, and speaking of randomness... take a moment today to go out and perform a random act of kindness for someone just because you can! You'll be glad you did.
