Photo Hunters – Broken

February 10th, 2007 |

Broken

A photo of me because “broken” in every way is exactly how I’ve felt for the past year… mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I was happy and feeling whole in this photo. I want to feel that way again.

Friday Feast #2

February 9th, 2007 |

Author: Crystal

Appetizer – Have you been sick yet this winter? If so, what did you come down with?
No. Thank goodness, I have not been sick.

Soup – What colors dominate your closet?
Black, green, teal, blue.

Salad – How would you describe your personal “comfort zone”?
I’m only truly comfortable in my own home around only close family and friends.

Main Course – On which reality show would you really like to be a contestant?
The only reality show I’d ever go on doesn’t really have contestants. “What Not to Wear”. Care to nominate me??

Dessert – Which holiday would you consider to be your favorite?
I guess Christmas, even though I don’t really care much about it. The only reason I like it is I love to be a giver, and I like the family togetherness it brings.

Friday’s Feast

Appetizer
What was one of the fashion fads when you were a teenager?
Hmm… well, let’s see. I guess that was the start of the baggy pants that hang down to your knees phase! We also had big bangs for a bit before that, and I saw the return of bell bottoms and platform shoes. *shudders*

Soup
Name one thing you think people assume about you when they first meet you.
That I am quiet ALL the time. ROFL!

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how hard do you work?
Probably only about a 5, unless I have a real job. I’m pretty lazy otherwise.

Main Course
If you were given a free 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl to sell anything you currently own, what would you advertise?
I have this wonderful, cute, little black dog who NEEEEVER pees on the floor. Any takers?

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I love to shake my booty when it is boring around here.

Thirteen Things I Thought I’d Never Do

1. Deal with infertility and the heartache it brings month after month after month.

2. Have two root canals, 1 crown, and 4 fillings in less than one year.

3. Pick poop out of a dog’s mouth. Daily. For over a year.

4. Willingly have a third dog in my home for more than a day! (Though he’s probably leaving this week.)

5. Be more concerned about health and healthy eating than how good my food tastes.

6. Become a religious flosser.

7. Turn in well over 30 songs and poems all at once to the US Copyright Office.

8. Marry a policeman, fireman, or soldier. I married the latter and am so glad I did. ;o)

9. Start my own business… twice! (And do my own taxes… yikes!)

10. Count down the days until it’s time to release bodily fluid onto a little tiny stick (and have to set up a reminder in Outlook with a “DING!” to do it!)

11. Be out of church for so long.

12. Become a forum addict and blog stalker.

13. Feel so sad and empty with no end in sight.
