7 things . . .

um. . .


1. my superpower is hyper-senses. i can hear and smell a lot of things others cannot.
2. i went to five colleges and i don't have a degree. trinity western university, northwest baptist college, gaviln community college, sacramento city college, and the masters' college. i started out studying theater, which was just silly. then i realized i wanted to work with orphans and switched to early childhood education. but from that point on my goal was not a degree but a good understanding of child growth and development. i never intended to be working in the california school system; i knew i wanted to come here. and i knew i wouldn't need a degree to do this.
3. i hate coffee. i worked coffee shops and cafes since i was sixteen, but i can't stand the stuff. i can sell it like crazy, i'm very good at it. i know a good bean from a bad one. i know enough to know that starbucks burns every bean and makes really bad brews but are EXCELLENT marketers and good employers. nicole makes me a cup of coffee every day and i pour it on my plant shortly after she goes downstairs!!
4. i have a turtle! his name is hurdle. he is a red eared slider and i think he's really cool. (of course he's living in california with some other turtles right now wondering what ever happened to that bald-headed girl he used to live with.)
5. speaking of hair, i really do love my hair. i love it when it's shaved and when it's curly. i think i have good hair. most people want to trade in their hair for someone else's, but i love mine.
6. i love the moon! i say that Jesus gave it to me because i loved it so much and now He trusts me to share it with all of you. it really is mine. it reminds me of God's faithfulness everytime i see it. it is beautiful and gives me peace.
7. i don't browse. i have no real reason to be online once i've finished checking my email. i look at everyone's blogs, of course, but that's about it. i don't browse. i don't like being online so much.
