It looked like fun.

4 things I'm passionate about:
1.Creating things, this is the absolute definition of bliss. I am so happy when I make something new a beautiful. I happy when I see beautiful things that others have made, ie blogs. I’m also so frustrated when something I am creating does not work out. Hummmmm.
2. Reading, I love to learn about new things and wonder to weird parts of the book store or library to find something that I would not normally pick up.
3. Travel, but have been doing less of it lately, and talking pictures of lampposts from places that I have been.
4.Eating, I like discovering new restraints or good places to eat, especially when I go with Todd. I love spending a good lazy day with Todd.
4 phrases I say a lot:
1. “Not going to happen” This is code for it’s the last time I’m telling you no. Applied mostly to students at work and my nieces. It has also earned me the title of the “Mean Aunt” because I say “not going to happen” I am also know as the “crafty aunt” as compared to Hilary who is the “pretty aunt”
2. Darln’ or Darlings- I call all the students that I work with Darln’ and all though I am not southern it is magic how you can give a kid bad news or tell them something they really don’t want to hear and they take it better if you start and finish with Darln.’ As in “Darln’ I’m sorry but your not going to be able to punch your peer in the face and then stay in my classroom so I need to ask you to leave now Darln’.”
3. “Hey Todd……..”- The preface to anything nice that I want my husband to do for me. And I usually get it. It is often followed with a question directed at him which is actually about me. Such as “Hey Todd…..are you feeling really cold?” Which he absolutely never is and I always am. Or “Hey Todd…… are you thinking about going upstairs and getting the last brownie to split right now?” And then I magically out of nowhere have that last brownie. Boy did I get lucky in the husband department. Spoiled, spoiled little girl.
4. “Nobody loves that”- Which is my response to any petering that Todd is doing, i.e. tickling, pinching, poking, etc. Todd loves, loves, loves, to pester, poke and prod. To which he responds “I’m not nobody” and I put up with because he so willingly succumbs to my manipulative approach to getting brownies and blankets.
4 things I have learned from the past:
1. It is ok to go backwards, and it teachers you good character building type things.
2. That I am tougher than I look, and not as tough and I think I am
3. That I need to learn to listen
4. I trust myself to land on my feet, no matter what is going on.
4 places I would like to go:
1. Italy, to hike the five cities
2.Paris with Todd
3. A cruise to the Bahamas
4. China
4 things I did yesterday:
1. Homework, I started grad school this week. Yipieee!
2. Worked, one job not two like on Mon, Wed, and Fri
3. Babysat the Nieces
4. Went to bed early with Todd as we are both sick
4 things I'm looking forward to:
1. Warmer weather
2. Farmers Market this summer
3. Owning a house, Someday, Someday
4. Watching Project Runway with my sisters
4 things I love about winter:
1. Festival of trees
2. Hot CoCo with candy canes
3. Visiting my Dad’s cabin
4. That’s about it, I’m not a big fan of winter.
4 things on my wish list:
1. A house.
2. A Masters degree
3. A baby, maybe
4. New cool trip to look forward too.
4 friends to tag:
Hum, Don’t think anyone besides Hilary will do this, and perhaps Jen who did and tagged me. Which made me feel cool, so thanks Jen.

Today
Today, and last night, I miss my mom.
I miss her a lot at Christmas,
and off and on throughout the year,
But when my sisters are having a hard time,
I miss her most of all,
because no matter what I do....
I feel inadequate.
Like it is not enough,
because she would have done it better.
