10 Honest things…..

I was tagged by one of my Canadian friends Mar from her blog Tiny things go by.

The rules are I have to list 10 honest (and interesting, but that’s up to you) things about myself and then pass it on to seven other bloggers.

Here goes!

1. I absolutely love metal & punk music. And in my younger days would jump in a mosh pit if one formed.

2. I hate talking on the phone. Absolutely hate it.

3. I am almost 41 and collect Hello Kitty items.

4. At birth I weighed 2 lbs. 10 ounces. I was three months premature.

5. I learned how to drive and got my first drivers license when I was in my 30’s. The thought of driving terrified me and I use to walk everywhere. Then we moved to a farming area in IL and had no other choice but to learn.

6.  I saw a man jump off a building in Downtown Denver when I was in my 20’s and I still have dreams (nightmares?) about it from time to time.

7. I think I have a problem with anti-social issues. I have always been really friendly with people but I have a problem with letting people get close enough to know the real me. Not sure if I am afraid they won’t like the real me or what but its only gotten worse as I get older.  Maybe that’s one reason for #2.

8. I’m part Cherokee Indian.

9. I have seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show over 100 times and thought that Tim Curry in drag was the hottest thing ever! It’s weird because I still think he’s sexy in this photo. It’s weird how we are wired in our likes and dislikes.

10. I am thankful this is done!

Now I am tagging 7 of my blogger friends!

Freebies, job and did I mention I am starting my own business?

First off, I love these sites Hey it's free! and I love free things! I have sent away for countless samples from both sites and not once have I had an issue with spam or receiving crap in the mail I didn’t want. I like to send away for the tampons, pads and pull up freebies. I just throw them in my car for just in case issues. You never know when you’ll need one, right?
Today I signed up for free Puff’s Plus tissues, Lever 2000, True Lemon (not sure what it is but it’s FREE!) and a free rental from redbox valid only tomorrow. Let me know if you visit any of the sites and what you get. By the way if you are online a few times a day it helps to check both sites  more than once a day as they post freebies throughout the day. I just checked again and got a free sample of Dove conditioner.
On the issue of the job, as far as I know I have the job. The director was able to get in touch with all my references and today I had my fingerprints taken so all they are waiting on is a background check and I think registering my prints. I am thinking I need to start getting the kids onto the new schedule. Normally we are up by 8 a.m. since they don’t have to be to school until 9. Their clothes are ready so all we do is brush teeth, get dressed, have breakfast and hit the road. With this new job I will have to be there at 7 or 7:30 a.m. so we’ll have to be up by 6 to get ready. Since I have to get dressed and be presentable I might get up earlier than the boys to have time alone to get ready. I think they can have breakfast at the center before they take the bus to school so that will help out too.
Now onto me starting my own business. I have been wanting to do this for 2 years and not sure why I have waited so long but I am starting my own online business selling hand dyed yarns. There are a number of LYS that I want to contact to see if they carry yarns from indie dyers and would be willing to sell mine. Also, there are a few online stores that sell hand dyed yarns from individuals I just need to find out how to get them to carry my yarn.  I have a few other ideas involving this but at this point I have a name, and the know how to hand dye I just need to complete all the proper steps to get set up to sell legally. Apparently in Colorado I’d have to charge sales tax for online purchases. I think that stinks. Here’s a bumper sticker that I want and love that says it all!

Anyhow, I need to do homework and I think I will take a nap. Have a great day!
