Friday Five :-)

1. Do you have other hobbies besides your yarn art?

***rubberstamping, and I'd like to get back into scrapbooking and cross stitch. I will when the kids are older.

2. Five years ago, did you think you would be where you are now? If not, where did you think you'd be?

***No. I got some money from my great uncle when he died (yes, cliche like isn't it?) and it made it possible to buy this house w/ enough bedrooms for us all and to have Miranda. I thought I'd still be in the last town, in a tiny house, still struggling for money. Now I'm in a big house, in a much better town, still struggling for money LOL.

3. Are you happy with your life right now?

***Generally yes, I've never been happier. But we need me to find a job and it's just not happening so it'll be darn near right on when I do.

4. What is the most out-of-character thing you've ever done?

***Went to a movie by myself three years ago which lead me to go to college. Bravery and confidence are traits that I have never had an abundant supply of. Joining the sockapal-2-za knit along and starting a blog was something out of character for me recently also.

5. Name 3 odd things we may not know about you.

***Hummm, this is hard:

a) I have a twin brother who's five mintues younger than me.
b) We are adopted (together, and no we aren't identical, there'd be something wrong
with one of us)
c) I'm a poor housekeeper despite being a flybaby. (ie: I'm very lazy)

1. Do you have other hobbies besides your yarn art?I love to read

2. Five years ago, did you think you would be where you are now? If not, where did you think you'd be?
Well, I guess I had no idea I would have a cleaning business, so that was kind of a surprise, but everything else in my life is right where I thought it would be.

3. Are you happy with your life right now?
Absolutely

4. What is the most out-of-character thing you've ever done?
I really can't think of anything. I guess I am boring. :)

5. Name 3 odd things we may not know about you.

I am a clean freak
I don't like to spend the night at anyones house, I prefer my own house.
I love to floss my teeth

2. Five years ago, did you think you would be where you are now?

3. Are you happy with your life right now? === not 100%. Let's just say I'm content but restless
