I’ve seen these lists everywhere, and in an effort to streamline my site I thought it would be more useful to do something like this rather than an “about” page. So here goes!

1. I have a two three year old. This clearly dominates my life.
2. I’m an Apache Wife.
3. I love to knit and will do it where ever possible.
4. I used to be rather good at ceramics.
5. I’m a very tactile person :)
6. I like HTML but suck at CSS and anything else regarding code.
7. I am terrible at keeping contact with friends.
8. I love colors, particularly purple and green.
9. But my favorite colors arein combination — pink/orange, turquoise/lime green, pink/brown, turquoise/brown.
10. I refuse to buy diamonds.
11. I have two remarkably useless degrees. (BA in History and MA in African Studies)
12. I think I can do anything as long as I set my mind to it.
13. However I am also profoundly lazy.
14. I’m also impatient and rarely learn to do things properly.
15. I have a reputation for being a perfectionist which I don’t understand as nearly everything I do is a hack job.
16. I used to be able to draw but now I can’t.
17. I want to learn to quilt and spin my own yarn but I daren’t take up any more hobbies.
18. I love baby slings and don’t know how people get by without them!
19. I tend to obsess about only one thing at a time. I’m not sure if this is good or bad.
20. The term “Carrie logic” was coined by my friend Willy who thinks I use a sort of logic that defies explanation or understanding.
21. I can sew, but not very well.
22. I’m a city girl.
23. I have dreams about living on a ranch in the country somewhere like Wyoming or Montana with sheep and cows but I don’t think I could actually do it.
24. I’m from KY which always surprises people as many have preconceived notions about what someone from KY should sound like :)
25. I loved my high school.
26. I loved my graduate school too.
27. I learned to play piano at age 4 and quit at age 17 when I realized there were people about a million times better than me.
28. I’ve always secretly wanted to be a singer in a band.
29. My retirement plans are to become a potter (as in ceramics).
30. I have high cholesterol but normal blood pressure.
31. I absolutely hate carpet.
32. I love the movie Xanadu.
33. I almost always think I can do more than I actually can.
34. I dislike people telling me what to do and will often do the exact opposite.
35. I have often looked back at my weight over the years and pondered how skinny I was then and why didn’t I appreciate it?!
36. I love bicycling but hate doing it in traffic.
37. I always get nauseated when travelling in the back seat of a car. Or backwards in an airplane. Or when reading any time there’s motion.
38. I can never decide if I want to live in a neighborhood with walkable amenities, or out in the middle of nowhere.
39. I’ve very interested in “green” topics these days.
40. I think it’s a miracle humans have survived this long considering how stupid we seem to be.
41. I do not understand organized religion.
42. I do not understand how studies can say anything definitive about what’s good for you and what’s not. Seems to me that there’s an infinite amount of genetic diversity among humans and surely that has something to do with it?
43. Clearly I’m not a scientist.
44. I used to hate history in school until my 10th grade teacher showed a different way of looking at it.
45. I also used to hate yoga (it made my feet hurt) but now I love it.
46. I’d like to grow my son’s hair out really long, but only because I’m too afraid to cut it myself.
47. Fear makes a lot of my decisions for me — which is something I really dislike.
48. I used to love reading but these days crafting gets higher priority.
49. I love watching movies and television.
50. I rarely listen to music but wish I did more.
51. My mom and I share the same size feet and hands but she’s 4 inches taller than me. Totally unfair!
52. I hate it when patterns are sized for “women” and “men” instead of “small” and “large” — because I inevitably have to make the large.
53. You should never stop me from doing something right that very second if I want to do it, because I will never get back to doing it ever again. Follow the urges, they are good.
54. I have yet to experience “nesting” while pregnant.
55. I stay up way too late.
56. I could be a vegetarian.
57. My hands must always be busy.
58. I like piles. I have lots of piles, particularly on tables. But I hate stuff on the floor.
59. I leave kleenexes lying around the house, which is disgusting, to be sure.
60. I like to use the same glass for water all day long.
61. I never drank coffee until I worked at Starbucks. I’m surprised they hired me. I became the tea queen.
62. I did develop a thing for Mochas though.
63. I’m not at all sure about Christmas.
64. I have always thought I wanted to travel the whole world but I worry about living without modern luxuries.
65. I don’t think I’ll ever make it to Australia — that plane flight gives me the heebiejeebies.
66. I’m usually pessimistic.
67. My internal temperature gauge is totally off. I’m always either too hot or too cold.
68. I give way too much information away to realtors.
69. My first instinct on seeing a house is imagining all the things we could do to it — painting, ripping down walls, replacing floors, building additions, etc.
70. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who complain without providing solutions as well.

Okay enough! Not 100, but I’m tired and it’s late. I suppose I can add more to this as I think of them, no?
