Question 1

20 random things about myself:
1) I am left handed, hence always in my right mind :)
2) I have a tendency to start great ideas and fail miserably at completing them.  It drives me a little crazy, and others more so, but I am wired in some kind of weird way so as to short out every once in a while.
3) To add(help) with my #2, I rarely worry about anything so I tend to let go of the old good ideas and start a fresh with new ones.  So these two things go hand in hand.  If I had to have everything just so, I would not survive. I do not understand some of my friends who think about things a lot in so many different ways and at every different possible angle.  I love these friends very much, just don't understand them:)
4) I enjoying hugging most people, it makes me happy and hopefully them.  Sometimes I can see it makes them uncomfortable but as certain people have come to know me, well, they just buck up and hug me;)
5) I am from the province of Quebec. I do not have a french accent, the reason being I am an english Quebecer.  Funny as that sounds, we do exist, I think maybe a little less now than before though.  I had a friend tell me once I did have an accent. I was kind of surprised and asked her to explain herself. She said, "You know, when you say certain words like 'cul de sac'."  Had a good laugh over that one, still do.  I said to her,"like when I say a french word in french because that is how it is supposed to be said?" And if my friend is reading this, I love this story and you;)
6) I would think most of you reading this would know this about me but maybe not, I am a Christian. I love Jesus. God is my creator and He is the One who never fails me.
7) I should change the title to 10 things... Let's see, this is harder then it seems. I really did not understand what heart burn was until a few weeks ago. I am getting it right now so i figured I would let you all know that I now can honestly say I know what it feels like.  Thought I had felt it while I was pregnant the second time but it was not like this, definitely.
8) When I was a kid I fell through the ice in the pond outside my house. I was waiting for the bus.  My mom hauled me into the house and changed all my clothes and got me out to the bus just in time.  And the funniest thing is that not until this very moment as I typed the previous sentence did I realize I would have done the exact same thing to one of my boys if it had happened to them.  Hmmm, I have always remembered that moment as a "bad parenting" one.  How could my dear sweet mother send me off to school after such a scary event!  Well it is not like I almost drowned. I went through at the edge of the pond where we were always told not to go because the water ran into the pond there and the ice was thin. I do not recall anything else about that day other than I really wanted to stay home from school and I figured I was in luck when I went through the ice to the pond water below.
9) Back to me being from Quebec, that also means my immediate and extended family are all from there as well.  I miss them terribly.  Some days more than others but it's always there.  Every birthday I miss or they miss, Christmases and other great holidays. Special events or just a lazy day when  I would like to just have coffee with my sister or brother or dad. To hold my nieces and nephews so tight that they have to fight to get away from auntie's hugs.  So many people I am missing out on doing everyday life with.  And I guess I just have to get past that and cherish the times I do get to have with my family every year or so. We make our choices.
10) I would not change any of the choices I have made to bring me here to Sundre from the eastern part of Canada. I thoroughly enjoy this path that God led me to. Being here with those I have made my family with in Alberta.  This does not diminish my love for those that do not dwell down the street or a few hours away.  It just makes me thankful for the people I have in my life, be it here or there.

I will have to end here for today. The next ten next time.  :)
