7 honest things

October 3, 2007

I’ve been tagged by Emily at Paperseed to post 7 honest things about myself. Since I don’t really have anything design oriented to post about except for some amazing Photoshop brushes I downloaded today and subsequently played with from 6:30 am to 7:15, I thought I’d give it a shot.
brushes 1 brushes 2

1) I am a straight-up, saved, born-again, call-it-what-you-will Christian. I have been most of my life, but I’m an adult now who has grown into her own faith. I struggle, praise, cry, doubt, love, worship, and question my God. Also, my husband became a pastor last week and leads the worship ministries at our church, which I have been heavily involved in since I was in high school.

2) Pretty much, I’m addicted to cereal. Something about the cold skim milk and sweet crunch (2 favorites = honey nut shredded wheat and special k chocolate). I eat it sometimes for breakfast, lunch, and a midnight snack. Too much of a good thing is NOT healthy.

3) I have put back on about 7 lbs that I lost but am having a hard time getting the motivation to get it back off. It’s a lot of work at this stage of the game. I eat when I’m happy… and right now, I’m happy.

4) If I got pregnant right now, I’d be pretty ecstatic.

5) My current full-time job is not what I want to do forever.

6) If I wasn’t married, I know I would have more animals. Probably at least 1-2 more cats. I am a cat-freak-lover.

7) Sometimes I doubt I will ever be financially out of debt and on my way to riches like Dave Ramsey says you can be. Not when I have to have my cell phone, the internet, cable, etc. I don’t think Brian and I are “gazelle-like” enough. I want it very badly, but if I wanted it as badly as I say, would I be willing to sacrifice more now? This month IS going to be a good month. $1300 on the student loan baby and no over-budget categories!

    Happy delurking day, lovey!

    YUM cereal. I have to be in the mood for it, though. I wish froot loops were healthy…. that would be my diet, breakfast lunch and dinner!

    And I don’t even know what a Photoshop brush is, let alone how to use one!

    Wow. Are those spam?!

    Anyway, happy delurking day!

    I want more animals. I want a dog, a cat, and more rabbits. No babies for me though. At least not for the next five years.

    Photoshop is so over my head, but those are some beautiful brushes! Also, I understand the animal obsession–if I didn’t have Colby to rein me in I’m sure I’d have added another dog or two to the mix!
