Tagged by Angela....Basically the rules are, I tell 7 weird/interesting things about myself and then tell 7 other people to do it and leave them a comment about it!
1. I have this weird thing in my little brain with numbers. I like them. I like to play around with them in different situations. I like to look at people's license plate numbers and figure out if the numbers are connected in any way. For example: 339415 (3x3=9, 4+1=5). I also do that with addresses, phone numbers and different times of the day. Some of my favorite times of the day are 12:34 (1234), 3:39 (3x3=9), 6:36, 7:49, 10:27 (my birthday), 3:11 (my husband's), 7:02 (my daughter's). Call me crazy, but I love to play around with numbers and make them work.
2. I have this crazy obsession with scrapbooking stuff, specifically paper and stamps. The worst part about this obsession is that I have thousands of dollars worth of stuff...and I DON'T USE IT!!! I just like to buy it! :)
3. My whole life I have hated fall. I hated the chilly weather and most of all the fact that winter is right around the corner. I hate winter more than anything. I never want to leave my house in the winter. But...for some reason, this fall has been different. I seem to like going outside and smelling the fall aromas in the air. I love to see the leaves change colors and fall to the ground. I like to walk through the leaves and feel them crunching underneath my feet. I like to take walks in the chilly weather and feel the breeze on my face. Something is definitely wrong with me.
4. Just reiterating the fact that I hate winter. I live in a freezing cold state and I hate winter. Don't ask me why I am still living here.
5. I love little things. Miniature things. Little teapot sets, little feet, little cups, little doors, little irons, little dvd's, little spoons, little socks, little books, little diapers, little ...you get the point. Even my best friend's husband sees little things and says, "Kira would like that."
6. I love Jane Austen novels and Jane Austen films. My favorite is Pride and Predjudice. But then again, I am only on my 3rd of her novels, so I may have a different favorite when I get through them all. I only watch the movies whenI am done with the novel. Although most movies ruin the book for me, this is not the case with the A&E version of P&P. This is by far my favorite movie in the world. I am a sucker for movies set in earlier centuries and for love films, which encompasses this movie in full. My husband makes fun of me for loving this kind of stuff, but I think he loves me even more for it! ;)
7. And last, but not least, I have always wanted to be a photographer. I don't have a lot of experience in this area, but I have been practicing. I have taken a few family pictures, baby/kid pictures, senior pictures, one wedding on my own, and two weddings as the secondary photographer. Although my pictures aren't the most amazing pictures in the world, I am trying all the time to come up with new ideas to make my pictures better. I do have one little problem with making this be more than a fantasy career. I am not very outgoing with people that I don't know. This makes it hard to go out of my way to make my business grow. It's something I have always struggled with, but it's something I will have to work on if I want to make this dream become a reality. Last year for my birthday my husband bought me a really nice camera, and I have had a few opportunities to use it. I want to thank Wes for his support for me in this desire of mine. He is very supportive and always tells me that I can do it. He even just recently purchased a website for me to start my photo business...but it's not set up yet. I would not be able to do this without his support!
All right, the 7 people I am tagging are: Jill, Mel, Krista, Georgia, Kaci, Heather, and Kristen
