Thanks to Jackie and Phyllis who passed on the Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger Award to me. I'm not sure I've ever received an award. I know I've been tagged many times, but this is way more fun! And now I'd like to thank.....
Okay so the deal is I get to share 10 random facts about me so here they are:
1. I'm a trip planner. In fact my family calls me their "travel agent". If anyone wants to go anywhere, I'm the one who finds the directions, prints out itineraries, etc. Maybe it's a calling....
2. Speaking of trips, when I'm on one, I love to go, go, go. So much in fact that one morning on a cruise Troy and I went on forever go, about halfway through, he woke up ahead of me and managed to climb over me to shut the heavy curtains to make our room pitch black. I slept until 11:30 am and when I woke up and realized it, I was MAD at him!! He just kept repeating that I must have needed that sleep!
3. I used to hate sour cream and suddenly (within the past year or so) I've realized I love it and don't know how I managed to live without it for so long.
4. I love watching HGTV and House Hunters International. (See number 1 and Number 2) A girl can dream big right?!?!
5. Speaking of TV shows – I'm still hooked on Survivor and now Daniel and I watch it together every Thursday night and share a bowl of popcorn. I used to watch it with my dad every week until he passed away and so I've passed it on to Daniel. Troy knows he is not to interrupt us OR try to eat any of our popcorn! Daniel sortof watches, but it works for me!
6. I am trying really hard to like venison. Troy killed 2 big bucks this past week (more to come on that later) and we have tons of meat in the freezer. Sometimes it's okay, but I didn't grow up around hunting or eating venison and frankly I can't believe I married a hunter. What was I thinking?
7. I love reading. If that's not random enough, let me elaborate. I used to hate anything that was remotely scary, but suddenly I'm finding myself immersed in books like the Twilight series, the Blood Brothers series, Morrigan's Cross series, etc. I find it all fascinating now.
8. I still dream of being a romance writer one day, but maybe with a twist now (see number 7 above). I have about 10 or more pieces of work started, but not finished. One of which is probably 60 pages or more already!
9. I also still dream about being an archaeologist one day. When I was young (because I'm so old now) I wanted nothing more than to travel to Egypt and see the pyramids. It's still on my list, and after watching Transformers II the other night, I'm ready to go!
10. I love being a family. One of the first things we taught Daniel was that Papa, Mama and Daniel were a family. We would all hug together and tell him that. And now I love it when he runs up to us and says "Papa, Mama, Daniel – We're a family!!" Sometimes he includes all the dogs and cats names too!
I think I'm supposed to tag 10 people, so here I go:

I think I'm supposed to tag 10 people, so here I go:
Angie - she is waiting for a referral and we all know how hard that is. We're thinking of you!
Clarese - also waiting! They just got their I-171H!
Danica - they have adorable twin girls from Russia
Becky - she's so busy lately that we are missing reading her posts - maybe this will help?
Marie - she has an adorable son and husband who should not be sent out shopping together anymore!
Okay - that's five and while it's not 10 I was hoping to pick people who haven't been picked before. Have fun!

I just discovered House Hunters International about a month ago. I really like that show, too!
With regard to the venison, my dad is a hunter and brought back a ton of it from Nebraska when we were younger. I nver acquired a taste for it... though I heard it is very healthy.
I love Regency Romance novels. Set back in the London in 18th century. I wish I had one to read now, as a matter of fact! I think it is amazing that you have 5 started projects and one is 60 pages already!
Glad you discovered how Great sour cream is!! Definitely finish writing that book!- Romance with a scary twist sounds really good!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Love the hunting photo and note left. How cute is that?
I was also glad to hear that everything went well at the doctor's visit with Daniel, but sorry to hear about the potty training. It can be frustrating and we still have nighttime accidents. I wish I had advice, but I definitely feel that each child is different. I can only imagine your frustration with public restrooms as I hate them even when going to the potty normally :o)
I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!!
Why thank you, thank you! :-) I hope I get to post more too - I miss my blogging days! :-) Hope you and the family have a wonderful Turkey day! :-)
