1. I am actually engaged, I have a pretty sparkly and everything. But I HATE the word fiance so I call Mike my boyfriend
2. I have a barbell through the top of my nose. I got it done (the first time) when I was 18, had it out for a year or so then got it done again. It didn’t hurt and I forget its there until someone pinches the bridge of their nose and squints at me asking if it hurt.
3. I used to dye my hair A LOT. It’s been every shade of drug store auburn available, platinum blonde and full out cotton candy blue. I stopped a few years ago and now its a pretty boring dark blond with some red (My moms a ginger!)

5. I hate wearing shoes
6. I am a kodak certified photo lab technician (seriously! I worked in the photo lab at CVS for 2 years in high school)
7. I’m a pet food snob and I can’t stand people who have ‘outside’ dogs (one exception:livestock guide dogs that live with their protectees in the barn)
8. I used to know all the mammals in NY state by latin name and common name. Used to know a lot of insects too
9. I am not squeamish at all, blood, guts, poo… nothing bothers me
10. I have a tattoo on my inner right ankle of Cornus canadensus
11. I got hit in the eye by a cat toy when I was a kid and had to wear a pirate patch. I swear my eye lid droops but no one else sees it
Questions from Jamie:
1. If money, schooling or time was no obstacle, what career would you choose?
Chiots Run – about ‘simple living’ gardening and such
One Dog Woof – Awesome Crafts and Food
Scissors and Steam – She’s nuts, just nuts. Also crafty and fun
When people comment “I follow you now you have to follow me”
It’s so rude! It drives me nuts. Usually it’s also a blog that I have no interest in at all!
Seriously, I follow over 100 blogs in my reader I’m not following one I don’t want to read just so you can get your numbers up
Changes with my mood but at the moment I’ve been listening to Eric Church and Brantley Gilbert

oh boy oh boy oh boy! Ok. Love the being the farmer and sustainable food source thing, and that I’m a favorite blog! Read PE a while back, so apparently have another tome to go through now…you know, in between being a serious blogger and all
. And I have to admit, I skimmed the part about the barbell and thought that people pinch YOUR nose and asks if it hurts, and I thought – geez, crazy people! I will have to do another post to answer your questions too!
