chris over at reverie tagged me! if you haven't visited her blog, you must. i love reading her clever posts about her and her husband pete. it's like a great on-going story with pictures and funny commentary, and a couple of very adora-ble pets. i find myself wanting to see what happened today and i have actually laughed out loud while reading some of her posts, great sense of humor, lover of shoes, pets and a husband named pete. really unique blog! so...on that note, i included the picture above as more of an abstract explosion of feeling i felt at having been tagged, it felt exciting and i wanted to share the feeling. just that there are really interesting people who lead very busy lives, stopping to read my little ol' blog is an amazing experience to me and i am grateful for that and also am grateful i can browse the great world of blogging and meet so many of these intelligent and artistic human beings.
i'm asked to tell 6 details about myself, so let me think...
1.) i have a beautiful son who is taller than me now and that just does not seem right! he has eyes that are gold and has stopped people in their tracks to comment on them. blonde hair and gold eyes, yikes i'm in trouble down the road with the ladies i do believe. i've created another human being who is gorgeous, artistic, reads edgar allen poe for leisure and listens to opera from time to time amongst his other selections on his much beloved i-pod. so ethan is my greatest accomplishment.
2.) about me: i love eating frosted flakes, dry only, right out of the box. they are a great creation in themselves and i can't say enough about the pleasure i get in opening a brand new box.
3.) i was a music major, having family members all around me growing up who played the guitar, my father still does. then switched to my stronger suit which is art. i majored in college in fine arts, painting, and now have switched to the history of art and architecture to finish my bachelors. (which has taken about 10 years but who's counting...)
4.) i love to run, dance, embarass my son whenever i can, i love to talk with a british accent in private and public, which then embarress my son and does the job i set out to do, i love italian food, thai food and am a vegetarian, i love being outside and would live in a tent if it had a bathtub.
5.) re-finishing old pieces of furniture excites me, finding old pieces of houses excites me (like shutters, columns, doors, lights). i like the energy you feel in older pieces, what conversations have they heard? hunks of old homes are interesting and intruiging to me.
6.) i have to live near an edge. meaning, i lived in colorado once for 2 years and after having grown up right on the water in massachusetts, and even though there is tons of space in colorado, there is no edge. i need to be able to go to the edge, where the water is and look out. something comforting about that.
that's me in a tiny, itsy-bitsy nutshell! and now i'd like to tag a few others which are part of the rules and the fun: and the winners are...
lisa renee at juxtaposition design, in plain sight by kelli renee ( i don't think they are related), latelierivedi from south africa!, soulpretty in new york, kristen at dream, design, live, and finally la porte rouge, who does not say much but says alot through her gorgeous photography, maybe she'll just use images?
the rules: link to the person who tagged you, list the rules, tag 6 others, and leave them a comment to let them know you've tagged them!
