nectar of the goddesses
I have been tagged by two of my crushes to play the 8 game: mccabe and amanda.
I did six random things a while back so I will try and think of more. Here we go:
1.) We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2.) Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3.) People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4.) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and they should read your blog.
1) When I drink cocktails all I want to do is sing and dance, and I will want you to dance and sing with me, and if you choose not to I will have no problem singing and dancing by myself. If I drink martini’s I start telling strangers they are beautiful.
2) I have reverse anorexia. I think I am thinner than I actually am until I see myself in photos and think “oh dear!” Then I go about my way and think about something yummy to make for dinner.
3) I have a major problem with procrastination. Example: I am supposed to be making a spreadsheet for an upcoming event right now but decided this meme was much more important. I actively try and work on being better about procrastinating, but obviously it's not working in this moment. ; )
4) I have a very irrational fear of ferris wheels, to the point of I will cry if I get on one.
5) Our serial killer cat has been known to leave us “presents” of the winged variety. Jimmy and I try and nurse back to health each one she brings us and once I even took a day off of work to drive a morning dove out to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Malibu (about an hour from here) The incredible souls there fixed his injured wing, nursed him back to health and called me to let me know that they were able to do this and were releasing him back to the wild. I cried knowing I had done the right thing.
6) I used to suffer from paralyzing panic attacks and was on anti-depressants for a short time. I haven’t ever talked about it on this blog but want people to understand having panic/anxiety attacks does not make a person crazy, those of us who have experienced this just feel like we are.
7) I love clean floors but hate to vacuum. Despise it. It’s a good thing my husband does housework otherwise nothing would ever get vacuumed.
8) All through my childhood and throughout high school my nickname was duckie.
Ooh, now I get to tag 8 lovelies. Um okay... I tag thea, susannah, jessica, maddie, denise, dreamer girl, miranda, tina and brandon (cause you're lovely too, b)
I normally don't post, but my gosh, your eyes are so beautifully green in that picture! WOW!
Love you!

Thanks for the tag :) I have to think about it for a while, so I'll post it later today.
What a beautiful picture by the way! xOx

I would love to do this -
my nickname is duckie too!
My Dad calls me duck.
(hugs)
It may take me a bit of time
to think up some things.
I am a bit boring... LOL

Thanks for the tag. I'll take a stab at it this weekend, but I don't think I know eight people with blogs.

McCabe tagged me as well, and guess what... I have procrastinated...
But no more! I will take your example and get to work - not on the housework that's waiting, or all the other yuck, but on my list.
;-)
Thanks for the inspiration, and I promise NO FERRIS WHEELS EVER!
:-)

All these fun facts just reminded me of why you are SOOO fun to be around!!! :) (for real - no joke!) Of course, I still don't get the vacuum thing......but, then again, it's the dreaded MOP I avoid most. Love clean floors, hate to mop them! Thank GOD for the Swiffer, that's all I gotta say.
Oh, and great photo of you, BTW!!!! XOXO

Posted by: Jessica | July 28, 2007 at 02:22 PM
I am just recently suffering from panic attacks...may I ask how you
got to a better place.
I tried to click on your email, but it did not work for me.
p.s. I just found your site through BOHO, and I really dig it...
there are good vibes coming from it!
thank you!

I guess we got to be around you when you drink martinis :), I am sure it will be an amazing sight :)
Posted by: Rambler | July 28, 2007 at 09:35 PM

i promise to never take you on a ferris wheel.

xoxo

You look so pretty in this photo here. I'm so not a fan of ferris wheels and the panic attacks...I've been a sufferer off and on, especially in the past year and they suck. If you saw my office space, you'd find another procrastinator in action. (=
Posted by: Kristen | July 30, 2007 at 05:08 AM
Still chuckling about "reverse anorexia". I so TOTALLY suffer from that!
Posted by: Lianne | July 31, 2007 at 10:08 AM
I didn't know where else to respond so this is my 2nd comment on this post just to say thanks for stopping by today! : )
Posted by: Lizzie | July 31, 2007 at 11:17 AM
i'm right there with you on 1,2,and 7!!! and i love this photo! and i don't think you're crazy. my anxiety has me sometimes thinking i'm crazy too. aren't we all?

Well, first off, you look divine in that photo...very cute hat honey. These are great tidbits, and the story of the bird...you have such a good heart and look at what became of you doing the kind thing. :-) Thank you also for sharing that you have overcome battles of your own in the past, because you are right...not crazy, just human. And to be human is a gift indeed.
love.xoxox
