Four or More Foods I Like:
Marzipan (hands-down winner)
Bean & cheese burritos
Blackberries, pears, peaches
Mushroom bisque if it’s made right
Chips and guacamole (especially from QDoba)
Vegetables I didn’t grow up eating, like artichoke, asparagus, broccoli, eggplant
Four or More Hobbies I Have:
sewing
photography (usually nature photography)
making things - lots of different kinds of things
learning how to make said things if I don’t already know how
looking at decorating books and magazines
looking at the stars and reading NASA’s website
gardening (I want to get back into that one)
learning about self-sufficiency and preparedness
learning about cooking and vegetarian dishes (not a vegetarian, but don’t eat much meat)
reading about herbs and natural healing
finding the beauty in simple things
(umm… I like to do too many things!)
Four or More Things People Don’t Know About Me:
I’m not big on busy freeway or downtown driving (ok, so it terrifies me)
I have a thing about packaging gifts nicely before I give them
I nibble on my fingernails
I’m often concerned about my weight, but haven’t ever really been bothered about my height (5′ 2.5″)
I’m slightly addicted to ribbon
I decided to add this one too: I don’t own a microwave (and I live just fine, thanks)
Four or More Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire:
Hire a driver? heheh
Pay off all our debts and our parents’ debts too
Do/establish something to help/encourage/mentor kids in their educational pursuits
Build an off-grid energy efficient home
Buy some land in Missouri
Think of some ingenious way to contribute to the arts
Save some money and give some away
So how come in the “real world”, when you play tag, you only tag one person, but in blog tag, you are allowed to “tag”, say 3-5 people? Honestly, I don’t know who to tag because a lot of you have already been tagged, so if you haven’t been already, you’re “it”.

That was fun to get to know you a little better. I am amazed at all your hobbies how fun.

I loved getting to know more about you Amy. I think it is cute you love ribbon. How interesting. I also think it is clever that you would buy some land in Missouri. Do you guys have plans for that? I guess I don’t get the picture. You will have to help me out with that one.

Thanks - you are sweet. If you saw my ribbon collection, you’d probably agree that I might have a bit of a problem.
Something I forgot to mention - I also don’t own a microwave.
As to your question about Missouri - a good place to start is in D&C.

I love all the things about you. My brother served his mission in Franklin, Tennessee. How did you like it?
Hands down, I think you should come back. It would be so fun to have you close by. I think you will find that there is always a place for you anywhere you go. It will not always be the same place as when you left, but who wants that anyway?

I love Franklin, TN. It’s a cozy little town, but still very nice. We didn’t do much but visit a few civil war places (they happened to have re-enacters there that day) and visit with our friends who live there.
Elise, I can’t tell you how much your friendship means to me. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been or what the circumstances are - you are always there and always accept me for who I am and we can always talk and have fun. And how do you always know the right thing to say? I really couldn’t ask for anything more in a friend.
I am a little homesick - not typical for me, really. I’m trying to figure out where we could live that would be close enough to visit - I would miss the trees. But, Rich is talking about a double-major now, which means even more schooling, plus probably an MFA after that. Ach du liebe! I fully support him - it’s just taking a long time.

I love that you don’t own a microwave. We didn’t have one while living in Silver Springs, and I never really noticed missing it. I guess most of the stuff that you would cook in a microwave is so unhealthy, and we just don’t cook unhealthy that much.

Hey Amy, I think I either forgot, or never knew you had a blog running. I knew you had a website, though. Anyway, glad to figure it out so I can comment occationally now.
That’s kinda cool you can say you’re a former model. I have to disagree with the love of marzipan. It was created as a means to survive, and I think if I were starving, I might eat it. Your hobbies are my hobbies, although I haven’t looked at the stars lately (used to do it all the time in AZ) and I don’t check out the NASA website. I have too many hobbies and things I want to do too. I makes it difficult to get anything done. I thought about getting rid of the microwave, but we heat leftovers up in it so often, I guess we’re keeping it. It’s too convinient.
I love your smiley face bean.
