My Nine

Blog activity-Day two

Nine things about yourself

1. I believe in magic. I choose to believe it exists. Whether it is the magic of everyday things like new life and flowers following the sun or witches and wizards and cauldrons that bubble. It is real. It is real because I believe it is. That's how it works in my world.

2. I'm a wee mad. I used to think of myself as three different aspects of myself. There was "Tayia", this is the person who everyone thought Tayia should be. I often played up that character. There was "I" which is who I wanted myself to be. And then there was "Me" which was who I truly was. I wrote a poem about this. I'll share that in my next post. It is quite interesting and perhaps a tad crazy.

3. I LOVE to chop wood! Absolutely love it. Swinging the axe is so much fun. I love how it takes your entire body to get a good chop. I love being outside. I love the smell. I love the sound. I love finding stray bugs still living on the rounds. I love finding the little cracks to follow in the center. But you know what I love most? The violence!!!!! Muah ha ha!! (After reading my #2 item you're probably a little scared now aren't you?(Lol, #2...poop)) Seriously though, I will come and chop your wood for free. It's the best thing in the world.

4. I like to be in charge. In middle school I was the organizer and director of a school play. In high school I was the senior class vice president, cheerleading captain, editor/business manager of the yearbook and Toledo Summer Festival senior princess (I did that one for the parades :D). After high school I became the cheerleading coach for a few years. Now I just run our house. ( :) Love you Snuggs!)

5. Milk is awesome. I could drink it all the time. All day. My favorite is fat free milk. Yummy! If that was the only thing I could ever drink again, I would be a happy cow.

6. Fleas, ticks and all kinds of flies disgust me. I hate, hate, hate them!! They are vile little buggers. It's not a silly little girly feeling like, "Eeeeew *squeal* bugs!". It's more like, "Kill the nasty creatures!!!!!!" And then I use my ninja skills and attack. They are so unsanitary. Blagh!

7. I've fractured my right ulna. Me and my sister Stephanie were swinging on a tire swing at my Grandma's house. I told Steph, "Push me when I say 'ok'. Ok?" My bad. She pushed. I was able to hold on until the highest part on the swing when you have that pause before you come back down. That's when I fell. I was falling head first and put out my arms to stop me. A stick also stabbed a huge hole in between my bottom lip and my gums. Try pulling your bottom lip down right now. You feel that connecting tissue between your lip and gums? The stick poked right through that and made a pocket into my chin. No more connecting tissue for me. I also have a nice scar in my mouth.

8. I went to Vegas for graduation. For my senior graduation present my Aunt Marty and Uncle Mike (Micah's parents) took me on a road trip to Vegas with their family. It was sooooooo much fun. There are many fond memories of that trip. It was the best present!

9. My family means everything to me. I will do anything for them. My husband and son are my world. Without them I would be lost. My sisters are my best friends. So is my cousin, Micah. A person would be a fool to attempt to cross any member of my family. We're like Africanized bees people. Africanized. Bees.
