Today is a slow-moving Tuesday, the perfect time to be quiet and reflect.
I found these questions on Tammy V's site... and decided they would be just the thing to start my week.
What is perfect in your life?
-Perfect. Mmm. Perfect is a strong word. I don't think life is ever truly perfect... but how about we say "really nice"? Some really nice things in my life: I'm able to focus on my artistic endeavors a lot more. I'm learning to feel more secure in James's love, and learning how to show him my love. We're trying to learn how to put God into our marriage, and although both of us are pretty clueless, it'll be a fun trial-and-error thing. Also, I'm a newlywed, so I have to be honest and tell you... Sex is also VERY nice. (Am I allowed to say that word on my blog? LOL)
What about life is important to you?
-FREEDOM! I love having the freedom to be myself, to express myself, and to follow my dreams...
-Making a difference in the life of others.
What is your supreme or divine purpose for this life?
-Umm... I'd have to say that my purpose seems to be to love people that everyone else has given up on, and not give up on them.
If you could create a perfect life for yourself, what would it look like?
-NO MORE OFFICE WORK!!! I would be able to make my living selling art, with friends and family joining the fun & profits... be able to volunteer to work with kids again, and enjoy time with my hubby just hanging out. Ooooohhhhhh and I could TRAVEL selling my art... I love travel!
What would you be doing in your life if you knew you absolutely could not fail?
-I'd definately quit my job to totally focus on creating art.
What do you really want to be doing with your life?
-I'd like to be helping more people... volunteering, or just chatting with people who need a listening ear.
If you didn't have to work for a living what would you love to do.
-TRAVEL!!!!!! Meet more people! Volunteer!
If you were just given $10 million what would be the first thing you would do?
-Fix our house, and then travel to the UAE to visit my friend Asma. Oh, yeah, I'd do all of those things AFTER I quit my job.
What do you need to think about differently to have the life your desire?
-I just need to keep working towards it... small steps, here and there, will eventually yield results. Right now we're working towards getting caught up on our bills... then we'll work on paying them off! I'm also making artistic creations whenever I can, and hope to have enough to schedule some shows this summer & winter.

8 Random Things
Jami tagged me with a meme!
The rules: one, each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. Two, people who are tagged need to write their own blog entry about their eight things and post these rules. Three, at the end of your entry, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names/pseudonyms/blogs. Four, don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog. Ready? Here goes!
1. My office at home is decorated in sage green with a palm tree border, and I love it! It was decorated by my former roomie, for my former roomie... and it is JUST SO ME!!!! Wierd, huh??
2. In high school, my nickname was Figit, because I was constantly moving around and fidgetting. Even to this day, my right leg constantly jiggles if I sit for any period of time. Sometimes my left joins in, but not usually.
3. I'm a very annoying person to go to church or business meetings with. EVERYTHING makes me laugh, especially when others are quiet. :o) I also try to whisper things to others, to make them laugh, so they look like "The Annoying One."
4. I have always loved kids and been great with them, but I'm not sure I want any of my own. Kids are a huge & life-changing responsibility, and I'm not sure I want that right now.
5. I am a total Gamer. We have a Nintendo NES, Sega Genesis, Gameboy Advance, Game Cube, and a computer. My neighbor gave us the NES ("I don't even know what this thing IS!" were her exact words lol). Our current fave games? Mario 3 for the NES, Sonic for Sega, Dragon Warrior for Gameboy Advance, Need for Speed: Most Wanted for Game Cube, Lego Star Wars for Game Cube (we bought it as a treat to ourselves off of ebay, and it came in the mail TODAY! *happy clap*), Warcraft 2 for PC, and Mafia for PC
6. I have 6 books laying beside my bed at the moment, all in the process of being read. Endometriosis for Dummies, The Lady Her Lover & Her Lord, the Bible, Living Well with Endometriosis , Quilting for Dummies, and 52 Volume 2 (a comic book series that James borrowed from a guy at his job... WAY good! Who knew I'd like comic books?!)
7. Every night before bed, I try to read some in at least 2 or three of the above-mentioned books. I have a hard time getting through non-fiction books, so that is my way of consistently getting a little read each day.
8. I have a running trade agreement with April-the-neighbor. We constantly are trading books, videos, art supplies, yarn, hooks/needles, and sometimes we even trade food.... She has the BEST supply of Sci-Fi books ever, AND she is even more obsessed with Star Trek than I am!!!!! Wooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Now I am tagging.... Alison, Leti, Shannon, Tammy Mimms, Vykky, Tammy the Warrior, Ellie (Ellie, I LOST YOUR BLOG!!!!! Can you post with a link back??? I'm looking everywhere for you!), and Jen

TAGGED!!!!!!
Tammy tagged me today! (I get this awesome rush of love when someone tags me... how pathetic is that?)
The tag? " write 5 things no one knows about you and then tag 5 other people."
Let me think about this for a while... Amy, some of these you may know, but I'm trying to even surprise you...
1. When I was a child, I showed major signs of OCD... Had to step the exact same number of times on each square of the sidewalk, had to take all my steps in multiples of three, etc. Now the only lingering effect is an occasional tendency to step the same number of times on sidewalk squares.
2. At the age of 19 or so, I moved from the "middle of stinkin' nowhere" to the north 'burbs of Chicago (Waukegan, Highland Park). Learned to drive in city traffic, tasted my first chimichunga, babysat a set of triplets on occasion, smelled chitlins cooking (A little girl tried to say it and pronounced it with a s at the beginning instead of a c... that pretty much sums up the smell!!!!), ate my first cornbread dressing (OMW talk about GOOD!) and my first bite of okra (that is DEFINATELY an abomination!!) and met my first panhandlers. Definately eye-opening, and very fun!
3. While in Chicago, I went to a black church with an attendance of like 400 or so... less than 20 of which were not black. It was... educational!
4. My first time driving a car was at age 10, with my Daddy, in a field of hay-making stuff after the harvest. He always laughs about how scared I was to go in between the bales of hay... and they were like 40 feet apart. Hey, I was TEN, what'd he expect? LOL
5. While in college, I went to a church with all their services in Spanish! I learned to speak the language, and cook yummy foods like flautas, homemade tortillas (Sonoran style), and cherizo con huevos! While helping in the nursery there, I learned things like "SILENCIO" ( BE QUIET!), "Sientete. Sientete! SIENTETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Sit down. Sit down! SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!") and how to clean toddler vomit out of my jacket. Oh, and I also learned how to say "I live in a van by the river" in Spanish. I'm not really sure why.
I tag.... Jami, Eliza, Jen, Nikki, and Leti
