| Industry | Education |
|---|---|
| Occupation | Applying life's lessons and teaching my kids before they make the same mistakes |
| Interests | I guess I could use some of my hobbies from yesteryear, but that's not really how I spend my time any more. I'd love to quilt again and read thick, hearty books. But truthfully I'm simple and like long walks with my family, good conversation, cleaning out closets, camping, visiting historical sights, writing, learning about what makes people tick, having lunch with friends, watching my kids learn, being outside when it's warm and by the fire when it's cold, reading in bed. That's about the lamest bio in the world, but you know I don't care. |
| Favorite movies | Anne of Green Gables, Some Kind of Wonderful, Family Man (for the moral of it--a few sketchy parts), Dan in Real Life (same), Grease (not for the moral, mostly the music) |
| Favorite music | Old country love songs from the 90s if I'm feeling nostalgic, some 80s alternative if I'm exercising, acappella if I'm watching them in concert, instrumental/nature-y with water cascading in the background if I'm cooking with all the kids home. And of course Christmas music of mostly all kinds, but it does kind of grate on me after awhile. |
| Favorite books | Gift from the Sea, Anne of Green Gables, The Last Lecture, The Gift of an Ordinary Day, Boys Should Be Boys, How We Decide, Pink Brain-Blue Brain, Play, The General and Mrs. Washington, The Paradox of Choice, Malcolm Gladwell's, Lynn Austin's, A Lantern in Her Hand, These is My Words, Mere Christianity, As a Man Thinketh, Predictably Irrational, Goodbye to Shy, Quiet, In Praise of Slowness, A Heart Like His, Glimpses, The Kitchen House, The Introvert Advantage... then all my social issues ones like Enrique's Journey, Working in the Shadows, The Pact, Dying to Cross, The Distance Between Us, Kisses from Katie, A Chance in the World etc. |
