Tagged: 8 random things

Posted on | July 28, 2007 | 8 Comments

The beautiful boho girl tagged me with this meme: 8 random things you don’t already know about me:

• My first true crush (in fifth grade) was a boy who now plays in this band. We wrote letters all summer the year I moved away.

• I am obsessed with the “sticky note” widget feature on my computer.

• I cannot currently picture loving a second kid as much as I love Bean; cannot fathom my heart being big enough to contain this love, times two.

• People think I am both taller and older than I really am.

• If I were single and childless I’d be living in a funky little apartment somewhere with Salvation Army chairs painted wild colors and chipped china teacups. My bohemian side is somewhat subdued, what with all the toddler things around the house, and a man with contemporary good taste.

• I am currently obsessed with this Greek yogurt + honey.

• I am an INFJ.

• I could survive the rest of my life without coffee or wine, but not poems; without chocolate or television, but not music; without money or things, but not good friends.

I’m tagging: love squalor, la vie en rose , so the fish said, hula seventy, and rosa murillo

  • People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
  • At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people (or as close to eight as you want!) to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and they should read your blog.

      Poetry, music, friends. Yes, yes. The bohemian side and family. Go for it. I’ve had the problem of being a clergyman’s wife as well as a life-long hippy kind of person so sometimes have shocked church friends with views, and alternatively shocked art friends when I come on a bit conservative.

      I have a wonderful 2 year old who has literally changed my life… I can’t imagine it without him, and everyday he consumes our thoughts and conversation. i am expecting #2 in 4 months and have the same fears of how there can be enough love for two, but friends have assured me that I’ll be surprised just how much love I really have. As we have settled on two kids to complete our family I’m looking forward to seeing how they will grow up together. I’ve been wondering if and when you will take the plunge!

      Hello:))) Thank you for so many inspirational words that are beautifully written. I often find that your thoughts and reflections resonate with my own. I am an INFP so it doesn’t surprise me that you are an INF something, too! After I researched personality types a few years ago it helped me to become more acceptant of who I am. It helped me to embrace all of it, including my weaknesses, instead of fighting it so much! It also made me think differently of my career choices. I recommend it for anyone who is up for some procrastination activity:) It is pretty fascinating stuff. Oh yes…I am slightly obsesses with the sticky note widget, too:))))
