I was tagged by my faithful blog reader and photographer friend Lisa, to participate in a blog game where I’m supposed to list 8 interesting things about myself that my blog readers may not know and then try to get 8 other photographers to do the same!
Here goes!
1. I am a HUGE Mexican food fan, and practically live at Casa Fiesta. In fact, I was there twice on Friday! And I don’t care what anyone says, I’ve been to Mexico, I’ve had real, live Mexican food, and Casa is very comparable!
2. I sleep with a lot of pillows, and it drives Travis (my husband) crazy! Right now I only have 4 on the bed for me (he has two), and I could easily go for a couple more. And they have to be down alternative or really good feather pillows, too.
3. I love my dogs! We have a dachshund, a mini shar-pei, and a great dane, and yes, the size difference is drastic from one end to the other, ranging from 14 pounds to 130 pounds. I have a whole list of breeds that I want to have eventually, but the one breed I will always have, is a dachshund. Although, great danes are pretty entertaining. He’s as clumsy as I am!
4. My husband and I have been together for 9 years now, and married for 4. We were high school sweethearts (at least for our senior year), we met on a blind date, and survived a long-distance relationship for 3 years! And, unlike many of my friends, we have never “taken a break”. 🙂
5. The one thing I love more than photography is traveling. I have been to 8 foreign countries and more than half of the states. I just counted this past weekend, and I have been on 49 different flights. Unfortunately, I can’t make that a round 50 until after the baby gets here!
6. Garfield is my favorite comic strip. I check out Garfield.com daily, and have a 365 day calendar on my desk!
7. My favorite color is pink, and then lime green. Combined, awesome!!!!!!
8. I always spit out my peppermints after about 10 seconds. I like the taste, but don’t have the patience to suck them, so from the time it goes in my mouth at the restaurant register to the time I get to the car, it almost always ends up on the ground or in the trash.
