I am a pretty private person- I keep a lot inside, and open up to very, very few people (like, 2). Most of the time, I am a fortress. But occasionally there are those times that I let way too much slip out- and terrify myself. One of the things I am trying to do is be a more open person. So in the next few weeks, I will be revealing a little more of myself to my readers- some of it will be light and silly, and some deeper (this will be difficult for me- so please be kind! I know you will be.)
This week, we will be keeping it light and silly. Here are 10 things you may or may not know about me (in no particular order):
1. My favorite color is red. I also like variations on red like pink, coral, and sometimes orange.
2. I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate. Love to eat it, but hate that I can’t seem to eat just one.
3. I married my college sweetheart and my first & only love 21 ½ years ago at the age of 23. So now you also know how old I am (that’s a freebie).
4. When I was 10 my favorite show was “Quincy” starring Jack Klugman, and I wanted to be a medical examiner when I grew up.
5. When I was 13 my favorite movie was “Indiana Jones” and I wanted to be an archeologist when I grew up.
6. My favorite thing to do on a Friday night is to order Chinese takeout or a pizza and spend the whole night on the sofa watching movies with my family. (I don’t mind doing that on a Saturday or Sunday night either.)
7. I sing on the worship team at my church every Sunday. After 3 years of doing this, I can finally sing solos without feeling like I am going to pass out from nerves.
8. I have 2 daughters, ages 16 and 20, whom I adore. I can’t believe what beautiful, talented, smart, funny girls they are, and how blessed I am to have them.
9. I often wish I’d had just one more girl. 3 daughters would be extra nice.
10. I don’t like coffee. I wish I did, because I feel like I’m missing out on the whole “Starbucks Experience”. Tea just doesn’t seem the same, and I feel like there’s a big “coffee club” that I’m not a member of…
So those are a handful of things about me, maybe more than you ever wanted to know- ha ha! Is there anything you’d like to know about me or what I do? Leave your question in the comments, or just send me an email, and maybe (if the answer won’t embarrass me too much) I will answer it in a post someday.
This was fun.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the "coffee thing". I am a "social drinker" and occasionally drink a cup just to fit in. Coffee is just not my favorite drink but with enough sugar and cream....
What a very sweet post Jacquelynne! I'd love to know how you started to paint. Did you learn in school? Did you go to college for art??
ReplyDeleteI can't drink coffee because it makes me crazy - You are not the only one that doesn't drink it - no worries :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you are confronting your fears and sharing more about yourself. I know how scary that can be. Sometimes I'm intimidated by tiny things like leaving comments! Here's my question: I know that you are currently remodeling your kitchen...is this the first big project you've done in your home? I always think it's fun to see where people live and work. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou are just too cute for words dear friend~♥
ReplyDeleteWhen we go to Starbucks my friends that don't drink coffee just get a fruit drink, a cocoa or a apple cider. Noelle always gets milk. :)
I'd love to see you sing on the worship team.
Love,
Me
I am sorry but I must disagree with #3 - you are only about 34 years old right now, so that means we got married when you were 13...
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you on #6.
Love you,
Hubby
Marvelous! I also agree on the coffee drinking, definitely not for me! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post and look forward to learning more about you! How sweet that someone dear to you thinks you are only 34. I mean that is really sweet and he agrees with you on take-out and movies with the family. Again, how sweet. We have some things in common.......I wish I did not like chocolate because I, too, cannot eat just one Hershey's kiss, etc. My favorite color is pink but not hot pink but I love a deep red rose pink. :-) The coffee thing.......I have finally taken a bit of a liking to coffee and now that I can enjoy a cup or two, I find it doesn't agree with me. Oh, well, a cup of tea is always good. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to read about you and it is great that you are willing to share. I have been a coffee drinker for the past 18 plus years. Before that I drank all kinds of tea. You really aren't missing much, coffee seems to be much more addicting and lack of coffee can give you a headache once you are addicted. Your kitchen project is exciting, I will look forward to seeing the progress.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that you didn't drink coffee. . .!
ReplyDelete. . . & see - I'm the same way about tea, & fell like I'm missing out when it comes to 'tea'. Well, there you have it - we balance each other out. . . :o)
Fun finding out these little 'tidbits'!
