Little Bits

(***The Golden Gummi Bear Awards will be coming soon to a blog near you! Stay tuned!***)

I don't have much to say at the moment, as life has been busy working on various projects and getting my line for NSS in order, but I realized that I posted quite a while ago that I would list some things about me. I asked for questions, and the one I got back was from my dear sister:

If you were a cruciferous vegetable, which one would you be?

[For those of us not up on our daily vocab lessons, a cruciferous vegetable is any plant from the mustard family, such as cabbage, radish, broccoli, and many weeds. Don't you love to think about what kind of weed you are?]

I don't know, I kind of like the radish. From above ground it looks fairly normal, maybe a hint of funk with the shape of those lovely green leaves, but then you get it out of the ground and there's this bright pink thing staring at you, twisting around, ready to dance, looking for something a bit on the adventuresome side. Then you cut it open and the sweet, slightly tangy, crisp taste is possibly not quite what you'd expect. The Ravishing Radish.

My sister, on the other hand, would be broccoli. That's just because... well, there are some quirks about family that you really just shouldn't tell on the internet. But for anyone who's eaten broccoli, you might be able to guess.


On to other questions... these are just from my own mind.

What are your food weaknesses? Easy: Jelly Bellys, ice cream and my Dad's calzone. My hubby claims I have a second stomach for ice cream. I have yet to prove him wrong.

Where do you see yourself in 50 years? I've always wanted to own a vineyard in Italy. A small one, but big enough to produce wine for the random dinner party. And I do love to entertain.

What is the ideal number of pets to have? Two cats and two dogs. Already got the cats covered, so now we need a bulldog and a lap-mutt.

What annoys you the most about yourself? When I start to doubt myself or compare myself to how I perceive others to be/do. Its something I have to quit doing if I want to be successful in this biz.

What is on your to-do list right now? Eeek! Too much! Have to get going on NSS, buy a new printer, organize my office, make contacts for possible sales, design more (ALWAYS on the list), send invoices, unpack, have a garage sale, meet with the accountant, get the website up, and the list goes on. But I'm still lovin' this!

What are you most proud of? I'm proud that I have a family and friends who are incredible. They are across the country and across town, but they all mean the world to me. True friends are hard to come by, but I feel quite assured that I have a wonderful selection. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am, doing what I am, and living as out loud as I am.

Got more questions? Toss 'em my way!
