Ok--now seven things you do not know about me...let's see...
1. I used to be a corporate meeting planner/agent, but it was not as glamorous as it sounds. I got to travel all the time, but it was long hours, and lots and lots of stress. And yet...sometimes I really miss it!
2. The older I get, the more I dislike flying. I still get on a plane, but I do not like it one bit. I think all the lousy airline customer service, charges for luggage, and lack of peanuts make things worse. When I used to travel for work, I frequently flew first or business class, which made flying very nice, but now I am just a coach traveler and feel like part of the herd of cattle. I am flying again tomorrow, so wish me luck!
3. I really, really miss being in a band. I was in a band the summer of my junior year in college, and loved it, but had intense stage fright. Also, I was the only girl (21 yrs old) with four male bandmates 20-25 years older, which was alittle odd. I finally quit, but regret not trying to find another band. Now I am too old for stage fright and just want to sing. Maybe I'll start one called "Old Geezer Gal." That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
4. Although I mostly cook homemade, I have a secret love for ramen noodles. Sometimes I make them for lunch when I am alone. They are so full of sodium, but I love the taste!
5. I am starting a major re-decorating project for my sons room, which will include faux painting. (Watch for updates!) I have to have the room completed by October 22nd, when my father-in-law comes to visit. Oh, and did I mention I was going out of town for a week?
6. I have become obsessed with the show Criminal Minds, which comes on ION television every night. I watch it while I am working on the blog.
7. I am planning a fun haunted carnival theme for my pre-teen son's halloween party. I have a bunch of fun games, food, and activities planned. (Updates to come!)
Thank you again Keri!
PS: I am working on a new blog design, which hopefully will be live next week. If you see wierd things happening on the blog, bear with me until I get everything right. Thanks!
Love and kisses,
Jules
